The Laney Black Country Customs Monolith puts an entire universe of distortion at your disposal. This triple-mode distortion effects pedal churns out the entire spectrum of distortion, from searing leads to fat power chords to jangly indie lines. You'll appreciate the touch dynamics of the Monolith; even when you crank the gain, it remains incredibly responsive to your pick attack. This harmonic-rich stompbox boasts a streamlined 4-knob layout with Distortion, Range, Volume, and Tone controls. The Monolith also features a tri-color LED for a clear visual reference to which mode you're using, along with dead-silent switching. Transparent buffered operation and a rock-solid metal housing round out the Monolith's many features. Guitarists hunting for a boutique-quality distortion pedal will find the Laney Monolith is out of this world.

Effective 4-knob layout





The guitarists here at Sweetwater love how easy it is to conjure up the perfect distortion tones with the Laney Monolith's straightforward 4-knob control set. The Distortion knob dials in the amount of gain and sustain, from subtle grit to massively distorted. The Range knob adjusts the amount of low-end content before distortion for a tighter sound ? a must-have for muddy-sounding pickups. The Volume knob controls your output level; the Tone knob shapes the character of your distortion. You also get a 3-position Mode switch that toggles between D1 (a heavily compressed distortion), D2 (a softer, more expressive distortion), and Overdrive (subtle grit that's great for boosting the front end of your amp).
