Laney Introduces the Digbeth Bass Amp Series

Laney Digbeth Series

Laney Amplification has unveiled a new line of bass amps and cabinets. The Digbeth series includes the DB-PRE bass preamplifier pedal, two amp heads (the DB500H and DB200H), four cabs (the DBV810-4, DBV410-4, DBC410-4, and DBV212-4), and one combo (the DB200-210).

The DB-PRE offers most of the features found throughout the range with both FET and Tube signal paths, a three-band EQ, low mid and switchable frequencies, and a DI output with pre/post switch and ground lift. Laney also added a TILT “See-Saw EQ” control.

“This control has a central neutral position. Turning the control clockwise increases the overall mid to high frequencies and decreases the lows thereby giving your sound more presence, which can be useful for cutting through live band situations,” they write. “Turning the control anti-clockwise reduces the overall mid to high frequencies and increases the lows making your overall sound rounder.”

It’s also fitted with tons of connectivity with an effects loop, and auxiliary input, a headphones output, and a link out.

The DB500H and DB200H bring many of those same features into amp form with the DB500H rated at 500 Watts RMS and the DB200H at 200 watts. The smaller amp pares down the three-band EQ to a selectable mid pre-shape EQ curves control set.

Each of the cabinets are loaded the company’s Black Label ceramic drivers plus a LaVoce compression driver that can be turned on, off, or half power. The DB200-210 combo puts the 200-watt amplifier into a 2×10” cabinet.

The Laney Amplification Digbeth Series is available now with prices ranging from $249.99 for the DB-PRE up to $1,399 for the DBV810-4.
