Laney Black Country Customs The 85 Octave Effects Pedal

Expand your bass sound with the Laney Black Country Customs The 85, a versatile bass octave and interval pedal designed to deliver studio-quality pitch tracking and powerful tonal possibilities.

Featuring independent control over octave-down and additional interval effects, The 85 offers three selectable pitch modes, allowing you to add an octave above, two octaves below or a perfect fifth above your original signal. From deep, funky sub-bass tones to thick, synth-like textures, this pedal opens up an impressive range of creative sounds.

The dedicated Focus control allows you to fine-tune the harmonic character of the pitch-shifted signals, while independent Direct, Octave and Interval level controls provide precise control over your overall sound. An expression pedal input adds further flexibility, allowing real-time control over pitch and level parameters.

Handcrafted in the UK, The 85 combines professional tracking performance, transparent buffered circuitry and a rugged metal enclosure, making it an excellent addition to any bass pedalboard.
