Laney Richter Bass Combo Amp 30W RB2
The RB2 is a compact combo designed for home studios and project spaces where footprint matters. Its dual-position kickback design lets you angle the amp toward your monitoring position or orient it conventionally, making it ideal for tracking bass in tight quarters or as a reference speaker for mixing. At 10.8 kg, it's light enough to move between rooms, yet delivers 30 watts RMS through a punchy 10" driver and high-frequency horn that translate well to tape and digital recordings.
Amplification & Tone Control
The amp features a full complement of tone shaping tools: gain, bass, swept mid-frequency with adjustable mid-level, and treble controls give you precise command over your bass character in the mix. An onboard switchable compressor and internal limiter help you maintain consistent tracking levels and protect against peaks during overdubs, ensuring your recorded bass sits tight without sacrificing dynamics.
Connectivity & Flexibility
Two 1/4" bass inputs—normal and high impedance—accommodate passive and active basses, while the 1/8" aux input lets you play along with click tracks or backing recordings during sessions. Outputs include XLR D.I. for direct console connection during tracking, a headphone jack for silent monitoring, and an 8-ohm external speaker jack for expanding your monitoring chain when needed.
