TOP VIEW 

The Laney SUPERGRACE LOUDPEDAL combines two distinct and stunning amplifier voices in a dual-channel 60-Watt amplifier LOUDPEDAL format. Delivering modern innovation with classic British heritage tones accessible via footswitch or MIDI. Each Amp has its own independent Gain and Volume and a shared Tone stack. You can tailor the response of each amp individually via the bright options on the GRACE amp and the CLEAN/DIMED options on the SUPERGROUP amp. The SUPERGRACE features a switchable BOOST and REVERB which can be switched via footswitch or recalled via MIDI.
GRACE SIDE SETTINGS
The GRACE SIDE was born from Billy Corgan’s demand for something unprecedented: extreme gain, massive headroom, and a unique tonal identity. Adapted from the original Carstens Grace amplifier, this channel delivers articulate high gain with exceptional note definition, even at saturation levels where most amps collapse. Its design emphasises harmonic richness and dynamic sensitivity, allowing players to move effortlessly between clean, crunch, and overdrive using only guitar volume, gain controls, or touch. The result is a wide-open, three-dimensional voice.

• VOLUME control to set the overall level of the amp.
• GAIN control independently increases the preamp gain. Adds more distortion to your signal.

BRIGHT SWITCH allows for control over the frequency response.

• (II) – extends the high frequencies and slightly dulls the low-end.
• (I) – boosts the low-end frequencies adding some warmth to the tone whilst reducing the power of the high frequencies.
• (0) – no change

SUPERGROUP CHANNEL SETTINGS

• The SUPERGROUP channel of the SUPERGRACE is a faithful recreation of the legendary Laney Supergroup amplifier, a circuit synonymous with raw British power. Originally designed in the late 1960s and famously used to shape the sound of early heavy metal, the Supergroup delivers a uniquely aggressive but harmonically rich voice that remains highly sought after today.
• This channel captures the harmonic uniqueness and raw power of the original, where gain is generated naturally by pushing the input stage and power section. The result is an uncompressed, wide-bandwidth response that emphasises clarity, punch, and a visceral connection between player and amp.
• Tonally, the SUPERGROUP channel excels at open, unfiltered crunch with exceptional midrange presence and tight, beastly low end. Its dynamic range makes it highly interactive with guitar volume and picking dynamics, rewarding players who want authentic, vintage-inspired drive with no compromise on feel. Whether pushed into classic rock overdrive or used as a bold clean platform, the SUPERGROUP channel retains the unmistakable authority of its heritage design.

The LA100L’s were renowned for their clean sounds as well as their full-on ‘dimed’ sounds. The ‘clean’ mode on the SUPERGROUP channel replicates the clean, open sound on an LA100BL and provides a wonderful platform for pedals. The SUPERGROUP channel in ‘dimed’ mode gives you all the tubby overblown gain associated with the original LA100BL, including the famous ‘transformer rub’ sub note which can be heard on many early recordings of the LA100BL.

• VOLUME control to set the overall level of the amp.
• GAIN control independently increases the preamp gain of channel 2. Adds more distortion to your signal.

DRIVE SWITCH

• DIMED mode gives you all the tubby overblown gain associated with the original LA100BL, including the famous ‘transformer rub’ sub note which can be heard on many early recordings of the LA100BL.
• CLEAN mode on the SUPERGROUP channel replicates the clean, open sound of an LA100BL and provides a wonderful platform for pedals.

BOOST CONTROL

• The switchable and variable BOOST control is an additional gain/drive setting to increase the input signal, just like placing a boost pedal in the signal path.
• This works on both channels simultaneously, with an LED above the control knob to show it is active.
• NOTE: The status of the BOOST function is recalled automatically to the status of the BOOST when that channel was last selected. This is the default mode.
• If you want the status of the BOOST function to remain unchanged when you change channels, you can configure this within THE LA·IR APP

TONE

• The TONE control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar, except that it uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain.
• It has the ability to not only control the overall top-end response but also reduce upper-end harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds.
• This will give you bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. (Midway (0) is a good starting point).

REVERB

• Our built-in studio-quality spring line reverb effect based on our award-winning Secret Path pedal. Reverb is evocative of space – a note contains pitch, but reverb contains place and fills out the sound.
• Turn the knob clockwise to increase the strength of the effect. The Reverb can be activated/deactivated via footswitch, with the adjacent LED indicating when the Reverb is active.

EQ CONTROLS
The built-in three-band passive EQ stack allows you to fine-tune your sound. Passive controls that always sound musical at any setting. As a starting point, 12 o’clock is the neutral setting for these and will provide you with a good tone for further tweaking.

• BASS – Adjusts the strength of the low-end response of your output, for a deeper sound when turned clockwise.
• MIDDLE – Adjusts the strength of the mid-range response of your output, providing a fuller tone when turned clockwise.
• TREBLE – Adjusts the strength of the top-end response of your output. Turning clockwise will boost the brighter, higher notes.

FOOTSWITCHES 

• REVERB – toggle on/off the reverb control. Reverb status is indicated by the LED to the upper right of the reverb control knob.
• AMP – choose between the grace / SUPERGROUP channels using this switch. The active channel is indicated by the LED to the right of Gain1/2 controls.
• BOOST – toggle the boost on/off. Boost status is indicated by the LED to the upper right of the boost control knob.

REAR VIEW 

POWER

• The Power inlet and switch. This switch will turn the pedal on and off. We suggest turning the pedal off when plugging in the power supply. The SUPERGRACE has an included power supply runs universally at 100-240V~ 50/60Hz.
• Warning: Only connect the provided 24V 2.5A power supply to the DC inlet.

USB

• Use the included Type-C USB cable to connect to a computer and access the LA∙IR app to modify the pedal’s Settings, EQ and IRs. This is also a class-compliant audio send, with a stereo feed featuring both emulated and unemulated audio.

HEADPHONE OUT

• 3.5mm jack to connect your headphones for silent practice as the level feed to the LOUDSPEAKER output is muted. Your selected tone will play directly into your headphones including any selected IR emulation. Adjust the level using the channel volume controls. The cabinet emulation follows whatever the switch is set to.

AUX IN

• 3.5mm jack to plug in any audio-playing device to add a backing mix to your guitar track. This is added after the FX loop.

LA∙IR EMULATED DI OUT
A balanced XLR output to go to your external devices such as a PA or audio interface. Set your desired tone on the pedal first then set the parameters on your chosen interface to get the sound you want. Decide on the emulation you want applied with the LA∙IR switch, choosing between two IRs loaded onto the SUPERGRACE pedal. The pedal ships with two amazing IR’s Cabinet A is a detailed IR of Billys favourite LA412 cabinet. This is the cabinet that lives in an ISO box when on tour and has been Billys “go to” cabinet for recent tours. Cabinet B is an IR capture of an LA412 G12H loaded cabinet running at high gain.
The unit ships with these 2 IR’s loaded as standard but using the LA·IR app you can store many more and drag and drop your own favourite IRs on the SUPERGRACE.

• OFF – No emulation applied to DI out or headphones.
• A – By default, applies Billy Corgan’s LA412 G12H IR to the DI out. This can be swapped using the LA∙IR desktop app. See USING THE APP for more information.
• B – By default, applies Billy Corgan’s LA412 G12H High Gain IR to the DI out. This can be swapped using the LA∙IR desktop app. See USING THE APP for more information.
• GROUND LINK – Disconnects the ground from pin 1 of the DI output ONLY. Useful to attempt to reduce ground loop hum when connected.

MIDI IN/THRU

• Connect to a MIDI foot controller to allow for remote switching of REVERB, CHANNEL Select and BOOST using the MIDI IN socket on the SUPERGRACE or switch external devices with the REVERB, CHANNEL and BOOST footswitches using the MIDI THRU/OUT socket. See MIDI for more information.

RIGHT SIDE VIEW 

INPUT

• 6.3mm input jack. Plug your signal input in here, either direct from your guitar or from your pedalboard setup.

LEFT SIDE VIEW

FX SEND / LINE OUT (TRANSFORMER ISOLATED)

• 6.3mm output jack. This is a multi-purpose output that can be used either as a line-level output, or as a traditional effect send to your other gear.
• As this is transformer-isolated, it is also possible to use this output directly into the front end of another amplifier, effectively making the SUPERGRACE a high-quality distortion/boost pedal with no requirement to use the loudspeaker output.

FX RETURN

• 6.3mm jack to connect the output of your FX loop gear back to the SUPERGRACE. This is an insert-type loop; all the signal is sent through your external gear. Inserting a jack here will break the signal path.

LOUDSPEAKER

• 6.3mm jack to output your signal to your passive speaker cabinet. Use this output when using the SUPERGRACE as an amplifier directly into an 8-16Ω speaker cabinet. Do not connect this output to any other gear such as an effect unit or another amplifier input.

Always use good-quality speaker cable, not microphone or instrument cable.
WARNING: Minimum total impedance for the connected speaker cabinet is 8Ω.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SUPERGRACE

AS A TRADITIONAL GUITAR AMPLIFIER INTO A CABINET 

• The SUPERGRACE can function just like your regular head, plugged directly into a passive speaker cabinet. It’s loud.
• The DI can be used as a balanced line level feed for additional active cabinets such as our LFR range.

AS AN AMPLIFIER WITH FX LOOP

• You can also connect your pedalboard to the SUPERGRACE’s FX loop and use the pedal in place of a regular amplifier. Output this to a passive speaker cabinet and you have your very own lightweight, portable amplifier.

AS A PEDAL INTO ANOTHER AMPLIFIER

• The SUPERGRACE can be connected in series with your regular pedal setup to act as a dual channel gain pedal with additional boost. Connect the FX send socket to your amp head.

A SILENT PRACTICE RIG USING HEADPHONES OUTPUT 

• The SUPERGRACE includes a high-quality headphone output for silent practice. It is optimised for high impedance headphones such as common 33Ω, though any may be used.
• To play along with a backing track, the SUPERGRACE comes with an AUX in connection. This is a stereo 3.5mm mini jack to connect to any media playing device.

DIRECTLY INTO A PA OR RECORDING DEVICE WITH XLR DI OUTPUT

• The SUPERGRACE has a high-quality speaker emulated, balanced DI output that can be connected to any balanced/unbalanced line level input device such as a PA or audio interface to DAW.

DIRECTLY INTO YOUR COMPUTER VIA USB 

• Once the pedal has been powered on and is connected, your PC will then pop-up that the pedal is connected and will notify you when the device is ready.
• You can now freely use the pedal with the LA∙IR app once it has been installed. Simply launch the app with the pedal connected and it’s ready to go. See THE LA∙IR APP section for more information.
• In addition, there is dual channel USB audio. The left channel will provide you with the emulated audio, following whatever the LA∙IR emulation switch is set to. The right channel will provide you with the unemulated audio, bypassing the inbuilt cabinet emulation.

MIDI 

Connect to a MIDI foot controller to allow for remote switching of REVERB, CHANNEL Select and BOOST using the MIDI IN socket on the SUPERGRACE or switch external devices with the REVERB, CHANNEL and BOOST footswitches using the MIDI THRU/OUT socket. The SUPERGRACE receives MIDI messages on CH8 so please ensure your external MIDI foot controller is configured to send MIDI messages on CH8.
MIDI MESSAGE TABLE

THE LA·IR APP

• Through the purchase of your SUPERGRACE, you also have access to Laney’s very own LA∙IR app. The app allows you to expand the sound of your SUPERGRACE even further by switching out the loaded IRs with your own as well as offering an 8-band parametric EQ for each cab.
• All this can be done on the fly during practice, so you can hear the change in your sound as you make changes.
• The app runs on Windows® 10/11 and macOS®
• Windows is a trademark of the Microsoft group of companies. macOS is a trademark of Apple Inc.

DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION

• To receive your software, first register your product via the Laney warranty page. On submission of your registration, you will be provided with a download link for the installer – MAC or WINDOWS.
• A link to download the software will also be forwarded to your email.

WINDOWS

• Once downloaded, run the Setup-LAIR_x64.exe found in the downloads folder in file explorer. Follow the installer instructions, accepting the EULA and choosing a suitable location for the install, then press Install to complete.

MAC

• Once the .dmg file has been downloaded, drag this into the applications folder to complete the install. Launch the LA∙IR app from this folder location from now on.

LA·IR UPDATE

• The app will automatically prompt you for an update upon startup should a new version be released.
• We recommend accepting any updates as they may include new features or bug fixes.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

• Similarly, with your SUPERGRACE connected and powered on, you will be notified if any firmware updates are available for the pedal. Again, we recommend allowing any updates that come through so as to improve your user experience.

• Minor updates may not show as a pop-up so be sure to check the update panel from time to time, where these can be accessed.

USING THE APP

CONNECTING THE SUPERGRACE

• Connecting the SUPERGRACE is easily done via the USB Type C cable provided with the pedal in the box. Plug one end into the USB Type C socket on the pedal and the other into your computer that has the app downloaded.
• Can be plugged into a computer with either USB Type C or A sockets – simply use the USB A to C adaptor provided.

CHANGING THE IRs

• Aside from the two preloaded IRs on the pedal, the app can be used to swap these out for any of your own IRs. To load your own User IR, click the drop-down box under either cab A/B and select “Import IR” – only .wav files can be used. The app will convert your IR into the .Lair file format that the pedal can use. Do not worry, your original .wav file will not be deleted! Two of Laney’s own cab IRs are also included with the app.

It is possible to edit the name of User IRs as well as delete them from the pedal and the app. To do so, right click on any IRs under the “User” section and press “EDIT” or “DELETE”. The default System IRs cannot be deleted.
WARNING: Deleting a User IR is permanent and cannot be reversed. The only way to get the IR back is to re-import the original .wav file.
CHANGING THE GAIN

• The gain of each cab IR can also be changed individually via the radial control on the right-hand side, should they be too loud/quiet. This gain will be saved to the IR’s .Lair file so will remain when using the pedal without the app.
• Simply drag the slider or alternatively use your mouse scroll wheel or double click and manually type the gain you want (in dB). Ranges from -40dB to +6dB.

BOOST INDEPENDENCE MODE 

• By default, your pedal will have boost independence mode enabled (ON in the app), and the boost on/off setting will apply to the Grace/SUPERGROUP channels independently.
• If you want the status of the BOOST footswitch to remain unchanged when you switch channels simply turn the “BOOST MODE” toggle switch in the LA∙IR app to off.

CHANGING THE EQ

• The LA∙IR app also comes with an 8-band parametric EQ for each cab. 5 different filters are available, paired with easy-to-use controls allowing you to change the gain, frequency and Q factor depending on the filter applied.
• WARNING: Any EQ changes will be permanently lost if the app is closed/disconnected without saving!

1. EQ TOGGLE
   Turn on and off the EQ for the whole pedal (Cab A and B), can be useful for dry/wet testing.
2. A+B LINK
   Link the Cab A and Cab B EQs to be the same. This will follow the EQ for Cab A when pressed. Unlinking will revert Cab B to its previous state.
3. DI CAB SELECT
   Choose which cab you want to edit the EQ for. Selected cab is highlighted in black.
4. BAND CONTROLS
   The main controls for each band are found here. Turn the band on and off and change filter you want the band to apply from the drop-down menu. Choose from peaking, high/low pass, and high/low shelf.
   Additionally, 3 radial sliders are available to change the gain, centre frequency and Q factor of the filter. The value of each slider can be changed by dragging, using your mouse scroll wheel, or double clicking the number and manually typing in your desired value. Depending on the filter selected, 1or multiple of these controls will be available.
5. FREQUENCY RESPONSE GRAPH
   This graph displays the resultant frequency response of all the EQ bands. View your changes live to easily see how your sound will be affected. Additionally, each band is colour coded so you can see which filter is doing what.
6. BAND NODE
   The graph also shows a numbered node representing each band currently active. Showing the current centre frequency and gain, these are draggable to allow for quick and easy changes. For more precise changes we recommend using the band controls (4).
7. SAVE BUTTON
   Press this to save any unsaved changes to the EQs (both A and B), so they can be stored on the pedal and used without the app. Should any unsaved changes be present, this will be visible to alert you that closing the app (or disconnecting the pedal) will lose these changes.

SETTINGS PANEL

LANGUAGE

• Change the language of the LA∙IR app to your preferred language.

RESET DEVICE

• This will reset all EQ and gain changes as well as return the IRs back to the default Billy Corgan ones. This cannot be undone and all changes from the default will be lost.

ERASING THE USER IRS

• Delete all user IRs from the app and pedal. These are impossible to get back unless you have the original .wav file to import again so be sure you want to do this. A pop-up warning will show before deleting.

OPEN USER IR FOLDER

• Open the folder where all your imported IRs are stored.

EXAMPLE SETTINGS 

• The best way to get started with your SUPERGRACE is to experiment with the controls to find your favourite sounds. However, for a head start, here are a few example tone settings to try out:

In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in its original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely packed.
2. Amplifier Connection: To avoid damage, generally it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, mixers, effects processors etc, BEFORE turning on your amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to your speakers. By turning on your amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any transients from other equipment should not reach your loudspeakers. Wait till all system parts have stabilised, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly, when turning off your system always turn down the level controls on your amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other equipment.
3. Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system. Use good quality shielded cables everywhere else.

Troubleshooting

• No sound / unexpected output routing: Ensure you are using the correct output for your setup (LOUDSPEAKER for a passive cab, HEADPHONE OUT for headphones, or LAIR emulated XLR DI for PA/interface). Note that the cabinet emulation follows the LAIR switch setting.
• DI/headphone emulation not as expected: Check the LAIR switch position: OFF applies no emulation; A/B apply the preloaded IRs.
• Ground loop hum on DI connections: Try the GROUND LINK switch setting, which disconnects ground from pin 1 of the DI output only.
• Speaker compatibility/connection issues: Verify the connected passive speaker cabinet meets the minimum total impedance of 8.
• USB/Lair app not responding or device not ready: Confirm the pedal is powered on, then connect via USB Type-C (or USB-A using the included adapter). Launch the LAIR app once the computer indicates the device is connected.
• EQ changes “disappeared” after disconnecting/closing: Save changes using the app SAVE button; unsaved EQ changes are lost if the app is closed/disconnected without saving.
• Firmware/updates not appearing: The app or pedal may prompt automatically on startup, but minor updates may not pop up—check the update panel periodically.
• IR deletion confusion: Deleting a User IR is permanent; the manual notes it cannot be reversed unless the original .wav is re-imported.
