Efficient 4-knob layout





The bassists here at Sweetwater love how easy it is to conjure up the perfect dirty bass tone with the Laney Blackheath's streamlined 4-knob control set. The Gain knob dials in the amount of drive from slightly dirty to massively distorted. The Range knob dials in the amount of low-end distortion from a clean punch to a thunderous growl. The Volume knob controls your output level. The Color knob shapes the character of your distortion. You also get a 3-position Mode switch that toggles between Dist 1 (an aggressive, classic stompbox flavor), Dist 2 (a natural, tube-like flavor), and Overdrive (subtle grit).
