His immense standing in the guitar community has led to two signature Ibanez guitars and some of their most successful clinic tours.

Tom has always loved the LIONHEART sound for its rich and uniquely responsive tone.

"When I first saw this, it was a genuine mind-blowing experience, because it's such an aesthetically pleasing product to hold," describes Tom. "It just feels amazing and looks so cool. And they got the colouring for this, just like the LIONHEART amp. And that kind of was really, really pleasing to me." – Tom Quayle

The LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL is designed to be the tone engine of a flexible pedal board setup with a feature set that replicates the acclaimed Lionheart all-tube tonal range - with the addition of a non-Lionheart feature – a BOOST function.

Meticulously designed and hand built in our UK BLACK COUNTRY CUSTOMS workshop to deliver real LIONHEART tone in an analogue, pedal amp format. The LIONHEART LOUDPEDAL is a two channel, 60-watt amplifier featuring powerful EQ switching, stunning reverb and – for the first time ever on a LIONHEART – a built-in preamp boost inspired by the legendary Black Country Customs Steel Park circuit - one of Tom Quayle's personal favourite boost pedals.

Designed in collaboration with Tom, who continuously tested the design giving us informed feedback helped us to deliver incredibly articulate, rich LIONHEART tones in a pedalboard-ready form, no bigger than a double pedal!

The LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL is truly versatile when it comes to your workflow. You can put it Infront of your regular amp setup and use it as a high-quality twin channel clean boost to full-on distortion pedal. You can plug the LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL directly into a passive cabinet on stage or in a rehearsal room.

The LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL comes pre-loaded with two cabinet IR’s created by Tom specially for the LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL. You can even load your favourite 3rd Party IRs into the LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL, EQ existing IR’s and the save them with the free LA·IR app via the USB-C connection.

"The independent EQ thing is really, really cool because that's not something you see very often," notes Tom regarding the LAIR app’s unique IR EQ functionality.”

Tom continues, "The LAIR technology allows you to have two IRs stored on the device. You can actually have more than that in the app, but two on the device. The really cool thing is they can have independent parametric EQs, fully parametric EQs per IR. So, if you've got an IR that you really like, that's maybe a bit spiky in the high end, you can actually tame that one. Whilst not having a global EQ on the IR's, they're actually independent per IR. So that's a really, really useful feature for people who like to use those two IR's and make them both kind of perfect for a particular venue or for a particular recording scenario. It's very powerful."

The USB-C connection also provides latency-free audio out directly into your preferred DAW.

The LOUDPEDAL gives you the ultimate grab-and-go guitar solution with studio-grade tone wherever you go. Just throw it in your gig bag alongside your other pedals and you're set!

The LIONHEART-LOUDPEDAL is a true Lionheart amp flat on the floor!

"My favourite feature is the size of it," Tom explains. "Because I can take this so easily anywhere in the world. And the DI out sounds so good with the IRs on there that, you know, just plug this into a PA or into a cab anywhere in the world. And I've got the LIONHEART sound in this format this size, it's just incredible. So, it's incredible for travel, basically, because of the size."
