Product Description ------------------- The L5-STUDIO transs the all tube pre-amp and the Single-Ended Class ‘A’ tube power amp section from the much loved Lionheart L5T-112 combo amplifier into a compact head with a single, hand selected, premium grade EL84 Ruby output valve generating 5 Watts RMS of pure boutique Single-Ended Class ‘A’ tube tone. The new L5-STUDIO also allows operation at 0. 5 Watts via its dedicated 0. 5 Watt speaker output giving all that Single-Ended Class ‘A’ tube tone at low volume or for ‘quiet’ practice.

Features INTERNAL DUMMY LOAD In order to let you operate your tube amplifier silently we have included an internal dummy load. This means that you can use your amplifier without the need to connect an external load (speaker) to it, without fear of damaging your amplifier. SINGLE ENDED CLASS A Single-ended(SE) power output stages are probably the simplest form of power amplifier design and usually used for relatively small amplifiers, e.g., less than 15W.SE can only operate cleanly in Class A mode and produce an output rich in even harmonic distortion. T-USB The T-USB interface supplies both a dry signal and the processed signal – split left and right to your DAW – directly into either your PC/MAC or iPad*.
