The Laney Digbeth DB500H lets you tilt your bass tone with a single Tilt control
A compact bass amp head with room for different tonal characters: the Laney Digbeth DB500H combines 500 watts RMS with straightforward controls. Within the Digbeth series, this head brings together vintage-inspired bass tones with practical connections for a modern setup. You can use the FET and Tube tone sections to find your own balance, with separate controls that help you match the settings. This makes the DB500H an attractive starting point for bassists who like to shape their sound themselves, without relying on a collection of digital presets.
The Tilt control is one of the most direct ways to change the character. To the left, you emphasize the lows and low mids; to the right, the emphasis shifts to the highs and upper mids. This allows you to quickly compare whether your part needs more foundation or more clarity. The three-band EQ also offers targeted tone control. With Tube Drive, you can explore a fuller tonal character, while FET Volume and Tube Volume help set the different sections. This invites you to tune your amp to both your instrument and the role of your bassline.
The DB500H delivers 500 watts RMS at 4 ohms. The controls consist of a three-band EQ, FET Volume, Tube Drive, Tube Volume, and Tilt, supplemented by Tube/FET and Run/Mute switches. Connections include a balanced DI output, headphone jack, AUX input, send/return, tuner output, and remote connection. The speaker connector is suitable for Speakon and jack speaker cables; always choose a suitable speaker cabinet and correct connection. With dimensions of 205 x 420 x 220 mm, in the order of height, width, and depth, and a weight of 7.1 kg, the head remains compact. A speaker cabinet is part of the required setup.
Are you looking for a bass amp head that lets you quickly move from a full foundation to more emphasis on your attack? The Laney Digbeth DB500H gives you both direct tone control and extensive connection options. Discover which balance makes your bass part speak.
