Laney Richter Bass Combo Amp 65W RB3
The Laney RB3 is a compact yet powerful bass combo engineered for studio tracking and live capture. Its dual-position kickback cabinet angles the amp for optimal monitoring during sessions, while the 65-watt output and single 12″ custom driver with HF horn produce articulate lows and controlled high-end clarity ideal for recording. Built for producers and engineers who need a self-contained tracking solution without compromising tone or taking up excessive studio real estate, this amp delivers professional results in home studios, rehearsals, and small-to-medium venues alike.
Tone & Signal Processing
The amp’s signal chain includes bass, swept mid, and treble controls that shape tone across the frequency spectrum, paired with an on-board compressor for dynamic control and an internal limiter to protect against peaks during recording takes. The FX loop accommodates external effects processors, giving you flexibility to integrate modulation, delay, or reverb into your signal path for layered bass textures.
Connectivity & Studio Integration
Two 1/4″ bass inputs (normal and high sensitivity) handle passive and active basses, while the 1/8″ aux in lets you practice along to backing tracks or click for overdub sessions. A DI out with XLR connects directly to your audio interface or mixing console for direct recording and parallel processing, the headphone socket enables silent monitoring during tracking, and an external speaker jack (8 ohms) allows cabinet expansion for larger control room monitoring. Weighing 16.1 kg and measuring 470 × 460 × 380 mm, the RB3 fits efficiently into any project studio setup.
