Laney BCC-BLACKHEATH TRI MODE BASS DISTORTION
The Laney BCC-BLACKHEATH is a compact bass distortion pedal built into a rugged metal chassis that delivers three distinct distortion characters via a dedicated overdrive switch. In the studio or on a tight pedalboard, its tri-mode architecture lets you explore everything from subtle grit to aggressive saturation across different tracks and sessions without compromising signal integrity. The efficient footprint and intuitive control layout make this a practical workhorse for home studios and recording-focused rigs.
Tone & Electronics
Three distortion modes expand your harmonic and textural options across genres and playing styles, while the color and dist controls sculpt the character and intensity of each mode for precise mix placement. Transparent, fully buffered operation preserves your bass's natural tone and cuts through the mix with ultra-low noise circuitry and silent switching, ensuring clean signal integrity in any recording session or live setup.
Design & Build
Built into a compact metal enclosure measuring 58.5 x 74 x 121.5 mm, the pedal operates on a single 9V battery or optional 9V DC PSU (centre negative, 2.1x10mm connector). The tri-coloured LED clearly indicates which mode is active, giving you instant visual feedback when monitoring or switching tones during a tracking session.
