Laney Richter Bass Combo Amp 30W RB2
The RB2 is a compact, road-ready bass combo built for working bassists who need serious tone without the backbreaking load. Its dual-position kickback design lets you angle the amp toward yourself as a monitor on tight stages or position it conventionally for full room coverage—essential flexibility when gig spaces vary from basement clubs to mid-size venues. At just 10.8 kg, you'll carry this one-handed, yet the 30 watts RMS through a punchy 10" driver and high-frequency horn cuts through a full band mix with clarity and punch.
Amplification & Tone Control
This amp puts real shaping power in your hands: gain, bass, swept mid-frequency with adjustable mid-level, and treble controls let you dial in your exact voice across any bass. The switchable compressor and internal limiter are working tools—they lock in your dynamics during high-energy sets and protect your rig during aggressive playing, keeping your tone tight and responsive when it matters most.
Connectivity & Flexibility
Two 1/4" bass inputs—normal and high impedance—handle both passive and active instruments without compromise, while the 1/8" aux input lets you jam with backing tracks during soundcheck or practice. For live work, the XLR D.I. connects direct to the mixing console, the headphone jack keeps you silent when you need to practice, and the 8-ohm external speaker jack lets you stack a cab when a single speaker isn't enough.
