When it comes to solid performance, detailed sound, and tons of onboard features, its difficult to top Laney!

Next, the 3-band EQ with parametric mid opens up options for tonal sculpting. Additional features like a clean, ergonomic preamp, onboard compressor, and FX loop ensure punchy sound and options for integrating effects. Finally, multiple connection points make this combo amp an excellent practice and performance tool. Wherever your music takes you, you can bet the Laney Richter RB3 is ready for anything.





Stellar tone for any bass





Laney ensured superb bass tone for a wide range of basses by allowing you to choose from two different input choices ? high or normal ? to match your weapon of choice. Connections like aux-in, headphone socket, and XLR DI make this an excellent combo amp for practice, recording, and small gigs. Plus, its kickback design allows you to use the amp in two orientations to suit your needs.





Laney amps: stunning since ’67





The journey of Laney Amplification harkens all the way back to 1967. Lyndon Laney left behind the British group Band of Joy (and members John Bonham and Robert Plant) to venture into the expanding realms of amplifier building. From Lyndon’s family garage to stacking huge stages at the disposal of some of history’s greatest groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Kiss, Laney and its legacy of high-quality amp engineering has found tremendous worldwide acclaim for decades. With a long list of sound systems and characterful heads, cabinets, combos, and pedals for guitar, bass, keyboards, and more, Laney offers a stunning lineup of top-tier products with an enviably versatile appeal.
