Laney Secretpath Guitar Effect

Laney BCC Secretpath — Boutique Reverb Pedal with Three Distinct Modes

The Laney BCC Secretpath is a handcrafted UK-built reverb pedal packing three studio-grade voicings into one compact stompbox. Spring, Plate, and The Secret Path shimmer modes cover everything from classic amp ambience to deep, evolving soundscapes. Part of the Black Country Customs series, this model targets guitarists who want character and depth without sacrificing pedalboard space. A solid metal chassis houses silent true-bypass switching and a tri-color LED.

Enhanced Mode and Expression Pedal Control

What separates this pedal from typical reverb units is its Enhanced mode and expression pedal integration. Holding the main footswitch engages Enhanced mode, adding modulation to Spring and Plate reverbs and an ethereal shimmer layer to The Secret Path. An expression pedal input lets players sweep mix and parameters in real time.

Three Reverb Modes — Spring, Plate, The Secret Path

A toggle switch between the control knobs selects between three voiced reverb algorithms.

• Spring Mode: Classic spring reverb — vintage amp and studio spring character
• Plate Mode: Vintage studio plate — smooth, dense reflections for lead lines
• The Secret Path Mode offers a dark, evolving shimmer, providing a brooding ambient reverb with a dynamically shifting layer.

Four-Knob Layout with Edit Switch

The top panel keeps the control scheme compact and readable.

• Pre-Delay: Adjustable — sets the time between dry signal and reverb onset
• Size: Variable room size — controls perceived space; doubles as Enhance depth when Edit is held
• Volume: Mix level — blends wet reverb with dry signal
• Tone: EQ — shapes the reverb's high-frequency content from bright to dark

Compact Metal Chassis with True-Bypass Switching

Built for daily stage and studio use with a solid metal chassis, silent footswitch operation, and standard 9V DC power.
