Laney Lionheart Foundry series amps

Has anyone tried these for a clean jazz sound yet?

I saw on one of the Andertons YouTube videos they mentioned that the smaller single speaker version - the one without the tremolo/chorus and the XLR out - seemed to have more mid range, which is making me wonder if the larger version (LFSUPER60-112) has more of a Fender-y sound. If so, I’m guessing this is purely down to the cabinet and is therefore quite subtle.

These are distortion-oriented amps. A reseller tried to sell a Foundry head together with one of my Metro cabs, but there was too little clean on tap.

Thanks, but that’s a different amp. The new Lionheart Foundry amps have only been released in combo form, not as heads (unless you count the Tom Quayle signature pedal amp, which I assume is very similar).

It’s the Ironheart amps that they’ve done in head form, and have been out for quite a bit longer. I’m guessing the amp you’re referring to is one of those - either the Lead Top or Dual Top. The dual top is still meant to have decent clean sound from the reviews I’ve read, but maybe not a great jazz sound - they definitely seem to be aimed at the heavier rock market.
