"Another thing that I love is this portable tube amp that's about the size of a lunch box, and it's called the Little Lanilei-and that's funny because my girlfriend's name is Lani. It's a small tube amp, and I can't get a bad sound out of it. It's got four gain stages in it. It's amazing. I think it's only available by mail-order"
"I can't get a bad sound out of it"
Kirk Hammet-Metallica

"It might say 'little' but there's nothing small about the sound of the Little Lanilei 33 watt - it's huge!  I love it!  You can take it anywhere and get a great sound.With the Rotary Wave, if I close my eyes, I swear I'm playing through my leslie rotating speaker that I use on stage - and that is huge!" - Peter Frampton


"This amp kicks some serious butt - it's a real Giant Killer!  I've used the Little Lanilei amp in rehearsals through a 4x12 Marshall cabinet & people are amazed at how much sound this thing puts out.  I've also used this in the recording studio for a few guitar overdub sessions, where this amp was the preferred sound over a Marshall or Boogie.Tris has done a great job in voicing this amp - a worthy investment!  Every lead player should have one of these in their arsenal.- Dave Meniketti


"Optimum Leslie when you don't have much space. Little Dog Records and Little Lanilei make a  Big Team"... - Pete Anderson

"Little Lanilei amps are the most versatile, portable packages available today.  My 33 watter is great for the bus, backstage, the workbench and most importantly - the studio.  Great warm tube sound, alone or thru an extension cab. Close your eyes and you'd never guess it fits in a backpack."- Al  Schnier - Moe

"My Little Lanilei 33 Watt drives a 4 x 12 cabinet at a level that is perfect for club work or recording and the sound is fabulous!" - Barry Goudreau - RTZ, Boston

NEW!!     FAQ:

Hey Tris ! why do the amps take so long to get?

All of the Little Lanilei products are hand made in right here in San Juan Capistrano.

When an order is placed we do all the final assembly for that particular model. My full time day job is being a product manger for a very unique computer company. We call this type of manufacturing JIT or "just in time" This type of manufacturing works well for these types of businesses to keep costs down. We can sell these very unique products for a lower cost to you. For 10 years we have built the Lanilei products for 1000’s of happy customers. We live and breathe these cool unique music inventions and are always working on them. We also buy from local small mom and pop shops to help the local economy. These vendors are music players too so they know the importance of quality products. We may be slow but it’s always worth the wait. I check my email in the morning and at night so you can always find out the status of your order any time.-Tris
