LANEY BCC-T85 TRI MODE BASS INTERVAL/OCTAVE
The BCC-T85 is a compact, pedalboard-friendly effects unit that delivers three distinct octave and interval modes in a footprint small enough to fit anywhere in your signal chain. Its lightweight design and intuitive control layout enable quick recall and real-time tweaking during overdubs and tracking sessions, with the tri-colored mode indicator LED providing instant visual feedback on your current setting. This is a serious tool for bass engineers and producers seeking harmonic expansion and textural layering beyond standard overdrive and distortion.
Design & Build
Measuring just 2.3 x 2.9 x 4.8 inches and weighing 0.38 kg, the BCC-T85 claims minimal pedalboard real estate while maintaining solid build quality in its black and blue chassis. The compact form factor doesn’t compromise on connectivity—you get 1/4″ jack input, stereo output, and an expression pedal input for real-time control of your interval and octave parameters, essential for capturing dynamic bass tones in the studio.
Controls & Power
Four control knobs handle Focus, Direct, Octave, and Interval adjustment, while dedicated switches manage on/off and mode selection across Octave Up, 2 Octaves Down, and 5th Up voicings. The unit runs on a 9V DC PSU (not included) with 90mA current consumption, or alternatively via 9V battery, ensuring flexibility for studio sessions and mobile recording setups.
