Laney TI-Boost
Laney · pedal
The Laney Tony Iommi TI Boost is a clean boost pedal from Laney Amplification created in collaboration with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, designed to provide the transparent clean boost that Iommi uses to push his amplifiers for lead passages. Laney built Tony Iommi's signature amplifiers for decades, and the TI Boost reflects that ongoing collaboration. The pedal provides clean level increase optimized for Iommi's specific amp-pushing approach.
