Laney's Compact Powerhouses: Perfect for Beginners
This just in: Laney is back on our shelves, and they’ve brought the goods. We’re talking small amps, big vibes, and a price tag that’ll make your wallet fist-bump your tone.
These aren’t boutique shelf-warmers or gear for the “only used once” pile. These are plug-in, crank-it, jam-out practice amps built for real-world use—perfect for beginners, bedroom shredders, and anyone who needs punch without the price.
A British Brand That Gets It Right
Laney’s been cranking out world-class tone since the late ‘60s, and while their big-stage amps power legends, their compact combos are the secret sauce for guitarists and bassists just starting out.
Now, we’ve got three absolute winners lighting up the Musicmaker shop floor—and they’re ready to rock.

Laney Amp FAQ – All You Need to Know Before You Plug In
Q: Are these Laney amps loud enough for gigs?
Not quite. They’re designed for home practice and rehearsal, not live shows. But for bedroom sessions, they're more than loud enough—and you’ll still sound awesome.
Q: Which one is best for absolute beginners?
The Laney LX10 (guitar) and LX10B (bass) are perfect for fresh starters. Simple controls, great tones, and super affordable. Want a little more control? The LX15B brings the extras.
Q: Can I plug my phone into these amps?
Yep! All three have an AUX input, so you can plug in your phone or music player and jam along with your favourite tracks.
Q: Can I practice without annoying the neighbours?
Absolutely. Each amp has a headphone output, so you can crank it up without making enemies of the people upstairs.
Q: Do they take pedals well?
Yes, especially the LX10 guitar amp. Toss your favourite drive or delay in front and explore new sounds without shelling out big bucks for a larger rig.
Q: What’s the difference between the LX10B and LX15B?
Power and control! The LX15B gives you 15 watts, a 3-band EQ, and a compressor—a serious step up in tone shaping and volume compared to the simpler LX10B.
