The Laney Black Country Customs TI-Boost is a hot-rodded Rangemaster-style boost patterned after the pedal Tony Iommi brandished on Black Sabbath's early classic recordings. And while this signature stompbox is certainly well-suited for by-the-book Sabbra Cadabra fare, its increased gain and added EQ options ensure that it's capable of much more. The TI-Boost's 4-knob layout gives you plenty of tone-shaping control to work with, plus you get a 3-way Mid boost switch to voice the pedal specifically for your rig and playing style. This roadworthy stompbox includes true-bypass operation with whisper-silent switching, and it's housed in a solid, iron-man-tough metal chassis. With the Laney TI-Boost, you can capture the sinister guitar tone that's rocked countless stadiums, or you can use it to explore your own signature tones. Either way, your pedalboard will flaunt the same box Tony Iommi uses as a crucial part of his tour rig.

The guitarists here at Sweetwater can't get enough of the Laney TI-Boost ? it's already found its way as a core component of many pedalboards. And thanks to its straightforward 4-knob control set, it's a breeze to dial in. The Drive knob controls the amount of dirt, from clean through bluesy crunch to searing lead. Low shapes the pedal's low-frequency response; High shapes its high-frequency response. Volume adjusts the overall output level of the pedal ? a must-have feature if you want to really punish the front end of your amplifier. You also get a 3-way Mid boost switch that toggles between a low boost, flat response, or high-end boost. No matter how you use it or where you place it in your signal chain, the TI-Boost stands ready to unleash an endless cornucopia of menacing tones.
