Review: Versatile and great for electronic drums. - I purchased this item to use with an electronic drum kit purely for home practice and it does the job brilliantly. The item arrived two days before the expected delivery date so that was a big plus straight away. The cabinet is solid and finished in carpet and a metal grill as with many other monitors and the build quality was what you would expect from Laney. It is robust and could easily be transported from gig to gig if you needed to, (although this was bought as a practice amp). The controls are fairly sturdy but being used to Marshalls for my guitars, they do seem less robust, however, I do not envisage them causing any issues. The sound is clear and well balanced and can be adjusted using the small equaliser on the front panel. It has more than enough power to use at home, I doubt that this will ever get above 4 but I would prefer to have something in reserve rather than crank a less powerful amp to the max. I also picked this model in order that I had the flexibility for other uses, for example, as an instrument monitor, vocal monitor or bass amp, a task which it does pretty well although I wouldn't use it as a guitar amp, except perhaps for an acoustic/electric acoustic.. You can plug an external music source into it for jamming along to which is useful. There is also a headphone socket also a headphone socket should you need it. It is very versatile. There are cheaper models available, but for the quality of a named brand, I would always prefer to spend that little extra as it pays dividends in the long run. This amp is great value for money. Review: Excellent combo amp for Bass Guitar - The amp is perfect, just what's needed for smaller venue playing. Delivery prompt, price very good. Was disappointed in some of the outer fabric peeling off on a corner. I contacted Laney who told me to contact where I bought it from, that was disappointing as it would have meant a return and refund I guess ! I repaired it myself with adhesive. Shame as that would have been good feedback for Laney. All in all a brilliant little combo amp for bass, guitar and microphone at the same time. I would buy another. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Laney | | Colour | Black | | Compatible devices | Guitar, Keyboard, Electronic Drums, Voice | | Material | Wood | | Output wattage | 5 Watts | | Product dimensions | 10.2D x 20.3W x 12.4H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Laney - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Guitar, Keyboard, Electronic Drums, Voice - **Material:** Wood - **Output wattage:** 5 Watts ## Images ![Laney AH-FREESTYLE Multi Instrument Amp– Portable 5W Combo Amp with 3 Channels, Battery or Mains Powered, Onboard Delay, EQ, XLR & Jack Inputs – Ideal for Busking, Teaching & Acoustic Sessions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iIyg+jtEL.jpg) ![Laney AH-FREESTYLE Multi Instrument Amp– Portable 5W Combo Amp with 3 Channels, Battery or Mains Powered, Onboard Delay, EQ, XLR & Jack Inputs – Ideal for Busking, Teaching & Acoustic Sessions - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UNiGoNuLL.jpg) ![Laney AH-FREESTYLE Multi Instrument Amp– Portable 5W Combo Amp with 3 Channels, Battery or Mains Powered, Onboard Delay, EQ, XLR & Jack Inputs – Ideal for Busking, Teaching & Acoustic Sessions - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XlxT-A1HL.jpg) ![Laney AH-FREESTYLE Multi Instrument Amp– Portable 5W Combo Amp with 3 Channels, Battery or Mains Powered, Onboard Delay, EQ, XLR & Jack Inputs – Ideal for Busking, Teaching & Acoustic Sessions - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81R4+HJKLbL.jpg) ![Laney AH-FREESTYLE Multi Instrument Amp– Portable 5W Combo Amp with 3 Channels, Battery or Mains Powered, Onboard Delay, EQ, XLR & Jack Inputs – Ideal for Busking, Teaching & Acoustic Sessions - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QNWiaELCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used with a bass guitar or will it blow the speaker?** A: Yes it can, it works fine with a bass guitar. I have also played an electric acoustic guitar through it and it was good with that too. It's a pretty versatile amp. **Q: Would this be ok for home practice with an electric guitar and vocal microphone used at the same time?** A: Yes this will work great for that application. you can use guitar FX as well if you want to add distortion **Q: Could you play a bass guitar through this amp?** A: Yes. I do regularly . Laney recommends using input #2 . The inards are based on the LANEY RB5 120watt bass amp. I also have used this for backing vocals and playing tracks from phone in rehearsal room at the same time . (Those extra inputs are really useful) Thoroughly recommend it , I've even lined out a guitar with a small 5 watt vox amp through it for extra volume. **Q: Can you play music from an iPod through this amp?** A: Yes if you were to connect it via the Ipods headphone socket. An extra lead would be required and not sure how good the quality would be. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile and great for electronic drums. *by A***R on 6 November 2015* I purchased this item to use with an electronic drum kit purely for home practice and it does the job brilliantly.

Delivery prompt, price very good. Was disappointed in some of the outer fabric peeling off on a corner. I contacted Laney who told me to contact where I bought it from, that was disappointing as it would have meant a return and refund I guess ! I repaired it myself with adhesive.

It is an absolute work horse. I play individually and as part of a two piece band. Bare in mind I work in experimental melodic noise, and the band is post industrial spook-art/noise, so the stability and fidelity of sound from this amp was truly tested. We had mic with fx one channel, fretless bass another, laptop input, fx laden guitar on another and electronics through another. We ran a 300w speaker from it... There was complete and balanced sound, totally even stereo and didn't need to raise master volume above a quarter for a large gallery sized space. It really is a beautiful piece of kit. Solid. Well made. Easy use. Seriously excellent amp that would work for any gigging musician regardless of genre. (ps, yes I did turn it up full in rehearsal... It is LOUD and honest.) ## Frequently Bought Together - Laney AUDIOHUB Series AH-FREESTYLE - Multi-Input Portable Combo Amp - 5W - Mains or Battery Power - POSUGEAR 3.5mm to 6.35mm cable 2M, 3.5mm (1/8 inch) Male TRS to 6.35mm (1/4 inch) Male TS Gold-Plated Connector Audio Stereo HiFi Nylond Braid Cable with Aluminium Alloy Housing - POSUGEAR 6.35mm to 6.35mm Guitar Cable 2M, Professional 1/4 Inch Jack to Jack Cable Guitar Lead, Guitar Amp Trs Cable with Nylon Braid for Electric Guitar, Bass, Amplifier, Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/53774279-laney-ah-freestyle-multi-instrument-amp-portable-5w-combo-amp](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/53774279-laney-ah-freestyle-multi-instrument-amp-portable-5w-combo-amp) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
