Laney - DB EAST PRE Digbeth Signature Préampli basse

The Laney Digbeth DB-EAST-PRE asserts itself as a colossal control unit from the outset, propelling the organic grain of tubes and the nervousness of transistors towards your amplifiers or console. This signature bass preamp deploys a hybrid sound architecture in which independent FET and tube channels are superimposed to forge a tailor-made harmonic texture. Built-in LA-IR (Impulse Response) technology simulates legendary loudspeakers, such as the DBV410 and DBV212, with uncanny fidelity to stabilise your acoustic identity in all circumstances. Each press of the footswitchable bypass mute ensures total silence between songs, while status LEDs for channels and inputs ensure that settings can be read immediately under the stage lights.

The metal frame of this 1.1 kg case contains a comprehensive connectivity package, designed for the rigours of studio and touring. The Dual inputs switching remote system allows you to switch from one instrument to another without disconnecting, supported by an independent Input 2 trim to balance output levels between two active or passive basses. Frequency sculpting is based on rigorous bass, lo-mid, hi-mid and treble EQ, complemented by a selectable Mid Q to target the sweet spot with absolute rigour. A global Tilt EQ function lets you rebalance the brightness or warmth of the whole system with a single rotary movement, depending on the acoustics of the room. The ultra-transparent FX loop preserves the integrity of your modulation pedals without altering the dynamics of the original signal.

The Laney Digbeth DB-EAST-PRE becomes the nerve centre of your workflow thanks to its USB Type C 48kHz audio, transforming the device into a direct capture interface for your recording sessions. The balanced XLR DI output with switchable ground lift eliminates parasitic ground loops for a totally pure signal to the control room. Laney supplies a USB Type C cable and a USB A to C adapter for immediate updating via the LA-IR firmware application. A 3.5mm auxiliary input and dedicated tuner output complete this ecosystem, offering the possibility of practising in silence or tuning without polluting the main mix. Powered by 9-12V DC, this power pack slips into any pedalboard to become your portable sound signature.
