Black Country Customs is a range of guitar and bass pedals created by Laney Amplification. A big name in the amp world, Laney are furthering their British tradition with these versatile stompboxes — all handcrafted right here in the UK!

The Black Country Customs "The Difference Engine" is a powerful stereo delay packed with an array of classic delay modes, including analogue, digital and dynamic. It's powerful processor allows you to combine features from each era to create unique and inspiring delays like never before. Better still, The Difference Engine comes loaded with 50 artist patches, created by the artists themselves, including Tony Iommi, Lari Basilio, Tom Quale, Martin Miller and ' very own Pete "Danish Pete" Honore!

The result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and development, The Difference Engine provides an immersive experience that is easy to navigate thanks to the ultra-sharp 2.42" OLED screen. The multi-function rotary encoder Edit control opens up a world of tweaking options whilst the onboard tap tempo, noise gate and compressor put a smorgasbord of useful tools at your feet!

Analogue/Tape Era

Modelled on the popular RE Space Echo family of delays, the Analogue mode features all of the organic warmth and analogue nuances of tape machines.

  • Warm sounding analogue tone.
  • Delay times up to 1250ms.
  • Straight delay from a single head.
  • Multi – head delays – classic overlaid delay effect.
  • Tape artefacts  – Wow and Flutter

Digital Era

Based on the crisp, sparkling rack mounted delays made popular in '80s, the Digital mode boasts tap tempo and freeze function.

  • Straight digital delay – 2500 MS of delay.
  • Multi Tap delay.
  • Freeze.
  • Modulation on repeats.
  • Tap tempo.

Dynamic Delay Era

The Dynamic Digital mode takes inspiration from '90s delay units, particularly the legendary 2290, boasting modulation and ducking features.

  • Based on the legendary 2290
  • Straight Ducked digital delay, up to 2500 MS of delay.
  • Modulation on repeats.
  • Phase reversal on delay repeats – wrap around delays.
  • Multi Tap delay.

Black Country Customs

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Black Country Customs is represented by Compressor Pedals, Chorus Pedals and Delay Pedals. Current listings include by Laney Spiral Array Chorus, by Laney ‘The 85’ and by Laney TI-Boost – Tony Iommi Signature. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Category

Delay Pedals

Delay pedals repeat the input after a set time, from a short slapback to long ambient trails. Feedback controls how many repeats continue; filtering, modulation, saturation and mix shape their tone and prominence. Tap tempo can keep rhythmic delays aligned with a song, while presets and MIDI help when several timings are needed. Analogue, tape-style and digital designs respond differently to transients and overload. Check maximum delay time, spillover, stereo routing, trails and headroom before choosing a model for the rest of the board.

Tags

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.

Stereo

Stereo products provide separate left and right audio paths, which may widen modulation, preserve independent delays or route a pedalboard into two amplifiers or a mixer. Input and output behaviour is not always symmetrical: some units sum a stereo input, while others create stereo from a mono source. Check whether the effect collapses safely to mono, how the dry signal is routed, the socket format and the destination’s panning and phase requirements.

Tap Tempo

Tap tempo lets a player set delay, modulation, tremolo or looper timing by tapping a footswitch. The implementation may be a dedicated switch, an external input, MIDI clock or a combination, and the supported timing divisions vary. Check whether the tempo is stored, whether tap is momentary or latching, how quickly the effect follows changes and which blocks respond. Tap tempo is useful only when the control connection and timing range match the workflow.
