Laney Black Country Customs The 85 Bass Interval Pedal
Studio-Quality Bass Octaves and Harmonised Intervals
The Laney Black Country Customs The 85 is a premium bass interval pedal handcrafted in the UK for players who want exceptional pitch tracking, flexible interval generation and creative tonal expansion.
Designed specifically for bass guitar, it combines intelligent octave processing with selectable harmony intervals, allowing bassists to thicken their sound, create synth-inspired textures and explore unique melodic possibilities while retaining the character of their original instrument.
Powerful Interval Control with Professional Tracking
At the heart of The 85 is an advanced interval engine that provides independent octave-down processing alongside a selectable secondary interval voice. Players can choose between one octave up, two octaves down or a perfect fifth above the original note, making it possible to create everything from classic sub-octave bass reinforcement to huge harmonised textures and chord-like effects. Dedicated controls for Direct, Octave Down and Interval levels allow precise blending of each voice, while the Focus control adjusts the tonal emphasis from smooth, rounded low-end enhancement through to more aggressive and pronounced interval sounds.
Designed for demanding performance situations, The 85 features highly accurate pitch tracking that follows playing dynamics naturally across a wide range of techniques and styles. Expression pedal compatibility further expands creative control by allowing real-time adjustment of intervals and levels during performance.
