LS100 Amplifier ~ LS50 NOW AVAILABLE ~
Video | Audio.
Overview
“The LS100 is a 100 watt all tube guitar amplifier hand-built in the USA. With two independent channels (clean and distortion), there is no sacrifice in tone as you change from one channel to the other; sounding as thick at bedroom volume as it does at stage volume.
The clean channel has all the sparkle and warmth of a black face era Fender, while the distortion channel gives you the drive of a beefed up Marshall. Each channel has its own gain, treble, mid, bass, and volume controls and the distortion channel has an additional gain stage accessible by the footswitch.
Plus, the high gain mode on the distortion channel gives you another level of distortion and sustain without sounding fuzzy, eliminating the need for distortion pedals. This added stage has its own gain control that works in combination with the distortion channel gain control. Even in high gain mode, when you turn down the guitar volume, this baby cleans up very nicely adding much versatility.
With a warm lush reverb, master volume, presence and a series effects loop, the LS100 can handle it all.” Bill Landry
