Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

5-watt tube combo aimed at players who want cranked valve tone at room volume, with a clean and drive channel and onboard reverb.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Home players chasing power-amp saturation without a full stack
  • Studio work where a small amp mics up easily
  • Small rooms and rehearsal spaces where a 50-watt head is unusable

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers-in-the-room band volume without mic or PA support
  • Players who want pristine headroom for pedals at loud levels
  • Anyone who wants an amp they never have to retube

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Laney Lionheart 5w Tube Guitar Combo Amp Blue Tolex construction detail

Detail 01

5 watts, tube

Power-amp distortion arrives at conversational volume. That is the point, but it also caps how loud clean stays.

Detail 02

12 inch speaker

A full-size speaker in a low-wattage amp, so the low end stays present rather than boxy.

Detail 03

Two channels: clean gain, drive with gain and volume

The drive channel's separate gain and volume let you set distortion amount and output level independently.

Detail 04

Global EQ, reverb and tone in a master section

The EQ and reverb sit after both channels, so tone settings carry across clean and drive rather than per channel.

Detail 05

19 lbs

One-hand carry. Easy to bring to a session or a rehearsal without a cart.

Detail 06

420 x 559 x 250 mm

Wider than it is deep. Fits on a chair or small stand, but check trunk space before you commit.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Footswitch and cables are not included; check before you count on channel switching
  2. 02Tubes are wear parts and will need replacing over the amp's life
  3. 03At 5 watts, playing with a loud drummer means micing it up

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is 5 watts loud enough to gig?

In a small room or with a mic in the PA, yes. Against an unamplified drummer with no PA support, no.

02Can I get clean tones out of it?

The clean channel has its own gain control, but a 5-watt tube amp starts breaking up early. Clean headroom is limited at volume.

03Does it have reverb?

Yes, reverb is in the master section along with global EQ and a tone control, so it applies to both channels.

04Can I use pedals with it?

Yes, into the front of the clean channel. Just know that headroom runs out sooner than on a larger amp.
