Members Woody_in_MN Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well...tell me. How do the Cubs compare to say the Lionheart? Besides being less than half the price. - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members timmyfirst Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 Theyre great little amps, voiced very much in a vintage Laney way. I really enjoyed playing through them, they'll do hard rock at best if pushed with a pedal but they just arent voiced for metal. The build isnt as good as the lionhearts but they're still rock solid! If you're after good quality tube tones on a budget, they're pretty hard to beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 How are the Cub 2x12 Cabinets? They are pretty cheap and the speakers are nothing special, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 Bump again. I'm interested in the Cub 12R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldschoolshred Posted July 13, 2011 Members Share Posted July 13, 2011 Great little amps. I just got a Cub head and 212 cab a month ago. Haven't tried the Lionhearts but supposedly they have the same vintage voicing and they saved cash on parts and labor by making em in China. It's true they don't do modern metal even remotely. But in addition to a great classic rock sound, I can coax a classic metal sound like early Iron Maiden pretty easy. I'd say they're like a cross between a Vox and a mini version of an ol plexi.

It can't be beat for the price. The drivers are Celestion Rocket 50s, which are a little bland, but not bad. Even if you upgrade the speakers it still is a good deal. The downside is it only has an 8ohm input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted July 13, 2011 Members Share Posted July 13, 2011 running two of the cubs piggybacked would be a 4 ohm load though. So if you have an combo or head that takes 4 or 8 ohm loads and you have 2 cub cabs it would be ok. I have the cab. It can't be beat for the price.
