Laney BCC-BLACKHEATH TRI MODE BASS DISTORTION
The Laney BCC-BLACKHEATH is a compact, roadworthy bass distortion pedal housed in a rugged metal chassis that feels solid underfoot. Its tri-mode architecture delivers three distinct distortion characters—accessible via the dedicated overdrive switch—letting you dial in anything from subtle grit to aggressive saturation without leaving the pedalboard. The efficient footprint and intuitive control layout make this a practical choice for bassists working in confined spaces or demanding live rigs.
Tone & Electronics
Three distortion modes expand your sonic palette across genres and playing styles, while the color and dist controls sculpt the character and intensity of each mode. 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 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 on stage or in the studio.
