Laney Black Country Customs Monolith Distortion Pedal BCC-MONOLITH
The Laney Black Country Customs Monolith is a compact distortion pedal that delivers three distinct voicings with dead-silent switching and solid metal construction. Built tough enough for touring rigs while staying light on the pedalboard, it offers real tonal versatility without the bulk.
Design & Build
Built with a solid metal chassis, the Monolith measures 59 mm (H) × 74 mm (W) × 121 mm (D) and weighs just 0.38 kg, making it highly portable without compromising durability. The white and red finish cuts through visual clutter on a crowded pedalboard, while the tri-color LED and dead-silent switching with buffered bypass keep your signal clean and your transitions seamless during live sets.
Tone & Electronics
Three distinct distortion characters—heavily compressed D1, overdrive-flavored D2, and soft compressed Overdrive—are selectable via a 3-position Mode switch, letting you dial in the right aggression and compression for each song. Independent Distortion, Volume, Range, and Tone controls give you the precision to shape your sound exactly as you need it, whether stacked with other effects or running solo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three distortion modes on the Monolith?
D1 delivers heavily compressed distortion, D2 offers overdrive distortion, and Overdrive provides soft compressed distortion. Each mode is selectable via the 3-position Mode switch and can be shaped independently using the Distortion, Volume, Range, and Tone controls.
Is this pedal suitable for styles other than hard rock and metal?
The Monolith is optimized for hard rock, metal, and rock genres. Jazz, folk, and worship styles are outside its design focus; lighter overdrive pedals may better suit those applications.
How is it powered, and will it work on a pedalboard?
The pedal runs on a supplied 9V battery or an optional 9V DC PSA. At just 59 mm high, 74 mm wide, 121 mm deep, and 0.38 kg, it fits easily into tight pedalboard spaces without compromising build quality.
Does the pedal have bypass switching, and is it silent?
Yes, the Monolith features dead-silent switching with buffered bypass, so you can engage and disengage without clicks or pops during live performance or recording.
What controls are available for shaping tone?
Four independent controls—Distortion, Volume, Range, and Tone—let you fine-tune each mode to match your signal chain and playing style. The Range control adds an extra dimension not found on many budget distortion pedals.
