How can I adjust my bass sound on the Mini-Bass-NX?

The Mini-Bass-NX offers flexible tone shaping with its dedicated Tone control, a unique Tilt control, and a Shape control. The Tone knob adjusts overall brightness.

What kind of sound quality does the Mini-Bass-NX offer for its size?

High-quality Laney amplification isn’t just for the stage! Check out the Mini-Bass-NX if you’re up for a Nexus-like stylish, battery-powered bass amplification solution. A powerful practice and performance tool, the six-watt Laney Mini-Bass-NX amp offers you diverse control over your sound and connection opportunities, opening up many ways to hone your chops. The Mini-Bass-NX delivers impeccable Laney tone through two three-inch full-range speakers and provides controls and connections for Gain, Shape, Level, Tone, Tilt, aux in, and a headphone input for all your bass amp needs. Plus, this amp features the LSI (Laney Smartphone Insert), so you can connect a smart device and open up your favorite bass tone app for even more sonic experimentation. Sweetwater recommends using this amp with Ultimate Guitar’s Tonebridge app.

The Tilt knob

Compact, portable, and packed with undeniably rich Laney tone, the Mini-Bass-NX might become your new favorite piece of gear. With features like Tilt, a powerful see-saw EQ control, you have unique ways to contour your bass tone. This control is neutral when set in the center, but turning clockwise increases overall mid and high frequencies while decreasing lows. This is an excellent way to give your sound more presence for cutting through live band mixes. Conversely, turning the knob counterclockwise reduces your mid and high frequencies, rounding out your overall lows.
