Electric Funeral amp settings — Laney LX15
The Black Sabbath guitar tone for “Electric Funeral”, dialed in for a Laney LX15 with a Ibanez GRX70QA. Studio version, Paranoid (1970) — iconic wah-drenched main riff
Gibson SG (bridge humbucker) → Dallas Rangemaster treble booster (modified) → Tycobrahe Parapedal / Vox Wah → Laney LA100 BL full stack
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 8 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Master | 5 |
01Standard Wah Pedal (Cry Baby / Vox)
RECOMMENDED — not owned; essential for the signature slow filter sweep on the main riff
02Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster
RECOMMENDED — not owned; tightens low-end flub and drives the Laney preamp into classic Iommi fuzz-crunch
The Laney LX15 shares the dark, mid-heavy British DNA of Tony Iommi's original Laney LA100 BL, but lacks a Rangemaster to push its front end. Engage the onboard Drive channel at gain 7 to capture the heavy power-chord crunch directly from the amp. Keep the bass and mids high to fill out the 2x5-inch speakers, and back the bridge tone knob off slightly to 8 to avoid modern ceramic treble bite.
