Some players like a lot of control over their tones and effects, some players are happy with simple straight ahead tone and effects combinations which sound great with the minimum amount of fuss. The linebacker range is directed fairly and squarely at this later category of players. The LR20 is the second model in the linebacker range and offers 20 watts RMS into a 8” custom designed driver. The twin channel pre amp features two identical channels which each allow you to select from 11 options per channel 5 regular, 5 hot and 1 full on insane, giving you access to 22 different amp model options. The 11 amp models on each channel have been carefully chosen and packaged to give you everything that you could want in a compact amp. The clean sounds are clean and clear and the semi crunch tones are second to none, when it comes to dynamics and feel – add a little chorus and a medium delay and you can cover a host of modern guitar sounds. Select something a little more dirty and the amps really come alive with nice balanced highs and lows and on full-tilt these amp sound like real monsters. When you select an amp model it not only includes the amps gain characteristics but also a full set of custom EQ within the model so the LR20’s EQ controls are simplicity themselves featuring a Contour control and an overall presence control. Next come the effects – two banks of effects are supplied 4 MODULATION effects and delay/reverb fx, these banks of effects are accessed by a simple rotary control. dial in the effects you want for the amp tone you are on and everything is saved and recalled automatically the next time you dial that tone in again. Provision of a headphone socket, an aux in and an onboard tuner make this a great package at the price.
