We started with a question "What if you could distill all that raw tube tone and dynamism into affordable, portable analogue designs packed with great tones and useful features?"
Would it be possible to create combo that sound as inspiring as their tube-derived family members?
The FOUNDRY Series takes the power, dynamism and response of our acclaimed tube amp ranges and forges them into creative, affordable, high-quality solid-state amplifiers that are practical, feature-laden, portable and a lot of fun!
Following the huge success of our award-winning IRONHEART FOUNDRY amps, we now proudly present a range of LIONHEART FOUNDRY Guitar combos.
The answer - Yes! Please welcome the LIONHEART Foundry Series.
This 60-watt combo can serve up creamy clean tones, right through to fiery lead tones that even its tube-driven cousins can’t match. You’ll feel instantly at home playing pop through to blistering rock on this incredibly versatile amp.
And, just like all our FOUNDRY amps, we’ve made it feel like you're playing a tube amp too. All in a package that is easy to carry and designed to be with you from the practice room to the stage!
All-Tube Topology
The starting point was mapping the complete all-tube topology of our award-winning LIONHEART range into this analogue amp. It's not just about mimicking specific tones like some of the modeller amp products out there but replicating the truly dynamic interactive feel and touch sensitivity that makes a great tube amp so expressive and addictive to play.
The critical sections like the tone stack, EQ circuits, and gain stage were faithfully converted using discrete analogue components precisely tuned to match the response characteristics.
It's All About THe Boost
The Foundry Series features a built-in, footswitchable BOOST. This provides almost a 3rd channel, allowing you to push a clean tone into slight overdrive, or an overdriven tone into a searing lead.
Secret Path Spring Reverb
It wouldn’t be a LIONHEART without a beautiful reverb. So, we’ve included the Black Country Customs Secret Path Spring reverb algorithm. This stunning reverb has been winning hearts all over the World since we released the pedal in 2019 and is now a firm favourite among artists such as Lari Basilio, Tom Quayle, and many others.
The secret to the sound and feel of any great guitar combo is its driver.
The speaker guru’s at HH Acoustics painstakingly designed the LF60-112’s H1260 driver, in the UK. Designed to deliver classic tones with remarkable precision.
Its meticulous design authentically translates the expressive nuances and harmonic complexity coming from the amp, just like a finely balanced tube amp into a quality cab would. The HH1260 driver ensures that every note you play is faithfully reproduced, from the cleanest of cleans to the grittiest, saturated overdrives.
Power Mode
Dial the output section back from MAX output to less than 1W AND keep all the tone, making it great for practice at home.
Connectivity
The LF60-112’s FX loop features a Speaker Emulated Line out for recording or onward amplification via PA/Front of House, plus an AUX in and a Headphone socket make the LF60-112 the perfect amp for home practice, recording, rehearsal, or the stage!
