Laney Black Country Customs Loudpedal Supergrace Billy Corgan

A collaboration designed to recapture the "Supergroup" spirit... and go further

Designed in collaboration with Billy Corgan and Carstens Amplification, the BCC-SUPERGRACE combines two complementary amplifier sound visions: on one side, the "SUPERGROUP" channel which carries the DNA of the Laney SUPERGROUP LA100BL, with its punchy British grain and the "big transformer" feel that responds instantly to the pick. On the other, the "Grace" channel based on the Carstens Grace amp, more modern in approach, with precise articulation and a clarity reserve designed to cut through a dense mix. This dual personality makes it a central piece of a pedalboard for those wanting to cover a wide spectrum without multiplying overdrive/amp-in-a-box pedals.

Who it's for and what it's for: from compact pedalboard to full MIDI rig

The BCC-SUPERGRACE is aimed at guitarists who want the feel of an amp under their feet, with practical solutions for modern live performance: XLR DI, speaker simulation, USB-C, and a high-quality effects loop. It suits both intermediate players (simple and effective settings) and advanced musicians who wish to control their setup via MIDI. Style-wise, it excels in alternative rock, classic rock, indie, shoegaze, and all aesthetics where you alternate between solid clean tones, punchy crunch, and more muscular saturation, while retaining definition for chords.

Controls, switches, and connectivity: a "plug and play" tool that stays professional

Each channel features Gain and Volume to dial in saturation and output level, while a tone section allows fine-tuning of the mix placement. The 3-band passive EQ provides an organic response with musical interactions between frequencies, complemented by a Tone control for quick overall brightness adjustment. The "SUPERGROUP" channel includes a clean/dimed switch to shift from a tamer register to a much more aggressive attitude, and the "Grace" channel offers a bright switch to gain presence and attack.
The BCC SECRETPATH Spring reverb is adjustable and can be activated via a dedicated switch, convenient for instantly switching from a dry, direct sound to a wider ambiance. A switchable Boost allows raising the level or pushing the virtual amp upstream depending on your gain staging. For advanced rigs, the presence of MIDI In/Thru facilitates integration (channel switching, scene management via controller). Finally, USB-C connectivity provides two essential benefits: direct recording and IR management via the dedicated LA-IR app, enabling quick adaptation of the "cabinet + mic" color to your guitar, humbuckers or single coils, and context (studio, in-ear, front of house).

The sound

The BCC-SUPERGRACE aims for a very "under the fingers" amp feel: dynamic, responsive, and expressive at guitar volume. The "SUPERGROUP" channel highlights an energetic British character, with solid lows and biting mids, perfect for riffs that need to stay clear even with a lot of attack. In more driven mode, the saturation gains density while retaining grain. The "Grace" channel offers a more modern and defined reading, particularly useful for arpeggios, complex chords, and textures where clarity without harshness is desired. The speaker simulation section and use of IRs finalize the "ready to mix" output, delivering a coherent result both on headphones and DI to a console.
