Laney Digbeth DB500H and DBV212-4 Demo

[@MrDaleAsmith]

I’m amazed so few people have heard of Laney. The company has a great history going back to the 70’s. Fairly sure Hendrix used Laney at some point. I’m looking at this cab. Glad it sounded good.

[@fraserwatson-cave4546]

It’s crazy that this video came out a couple hours after me buying this exact head and cab and now I’m just more excited to play out of it thanks for the great review

[@grifofunk]

Hi, after some use what can you say about this head? Is it loud enough compared to other 500 Watt heads in your experience?

[@semajsemajsemaj99]

​@@grifofunkdon't think he heard you . Great company.

[@ampthebassplayer]

I made a joke in a video once about nobody using Laney, but after this video, I think that's gonna change. Great sounds!

[@luismancilla7815]

I did the same 😂😂

[@Guitar_Smasher]

I've got the Digbeth bass preamp pedal. I absolutely love it! It's got headphones out, aux in and an effects loop. A ton of features!

[@omniobadiahmee1989]

I like the overdrive on the preamp

[@johnkay2923]

I bought the same head and cab last December and it's a great set up. Recommended.

[@matisanchez3470]

I loved that 2x12! Thanks for your review

[@richshields6692]

Sounds great and looks great too !

[@madbassskillz]

Thanks for using a Warwick on the demo!!

[@scottm7720]

Great review on an amp I had no interest in until seeing this video. I can’t believe it doesn’t have tubes, wow.

[@Sheltada]

It has a tube preamp in one channel

[@christopherstorrier5560]

A great sounding retro looking bass amp head,it is solid state class D but the tube channel sounds very tube like...i like it that much i've just bought the 500w head...bought the pre-amp DI Digbeth pedal last year, really good sound quality & features...decent price's as well,impressed....well demo'd

[@nbl95]

That Lounge Act was spot on, makes me wonder if Krist actually played Laney bass amps

[@fernandoalonso9867]

Great vid guys!! sounds awsome! But the tube thing, i´ve done some research, in a live streaming when this came out the people of laney said that doesen´t have any tubes. In the webpage they said "tube circuit or tube channel", same thing in the manual schematics. A little tricky IMHO, but sounds great.

[@SPMID87]

Sounds incredible, and a great video...thanks! Nice to see a good ol' Bri'ish company from the Midlands getting some love.

[@kevmac1230]

That's a good sounding amp, I'd have no problem with that tone.Laney has a good rep from what I've seen.

[@eaglebauer944]

Sounds great. I'm not exactly in the market for a new amp, but I have an eye on their vertical 410.

[@jonsidell3338]

I really wish more 4x10 cabs were oriented like Laney does. It just makes sense. I’m with you, I don’t need one but I’d like one!

[@AlexDevineMusic]

Sounds great! Never used a Laney before, but I might have to check one out after watching this :)

[@BassRacerx]

heck yes! 4 ohm cabinet. good job Laney!

[@mitchcutting]

That outro jam ripps!

[@velascaux]

I love Laney, the RB3 was my amp a decade ago. You should try it.

[@jamescoderre9595]

Great Sounding Amp, Nice dial in options on the head. the amp sounded like it had tubes to my ear, greqt job if it doesn't

[@arcane02]

shoutout to digbeth, that’s in my hometown

[@Thomas.harding]

Yam yam

[@l8sk8r86]

Laney Digbeth DB500H PreAmp: Dual, FET + Tube.

[@pwokaren]

This Amp sounds amazing. That does it,…I’m going to buy one ! It will go great with my MusicMan Cutlass and G&L L-2000. 🎶⭐️😎🇦🇺

[@pwokaren]

I’ve now gone down to Mega Music in Wangara and bought this cabinet and amp. Nathan East uses Laney as well. 🎶👏🏻💯🎆

[@albundy2239]

I think Aaran from While She Sleeps plays this amp with the according 8x10. Seems to be a much more versatile amp than I would have initially thought.

[@tomrobinson4781]

Aye! lovely

[@Kevtron9000]

Sick !

[@DimebagDarrenLowe]

Thanks Man

[@pjfields2382]

How does this compare to other amps? Such as Orange terror...Th 500...etc....I have good earphones but what do you think this compares to? Since this is a review it would be nice to see what you think vs some of the other offerings out there.

[@stephenhookings1985]

I use a Laney Cub 12r valve 15w max amp to feed a Hartke 4x10 XL. Even at 1w it is freaking loud. The basses seem to sound great thru this too - so I won't be looking for a bass head for a while

[@jonsidell3338]

Sounds good! When you demo the DI would you please send the pedal’s signal to the effects return of the Digbeth amp so we can have a more direct comparison of the 2? Should be pretty easy to A/B as all you would have to do is plug/unplug a 1/4 inch cable. Thanks!

[@wharrgarblstudios]

I think companies are at the point where they can almost perfectly replicate tube tone using solid state circuitry or software, but my question is does it ‘feel’ like a tube amp to the player? For me that’s where the magic of tubes still lies. Assuming there are no tubes in it, would you say the Digbeth gets close?

[@jonrarmey1220]

I dig the tones coming out of these amps, But how is the quality control & long term reliability? I still have a Hartke HA7000 from 1994-95 gigged all over with it for years, maybe not the best stand alone amp without a nice pre in front of it, but it’s still solid as a rock & never broke down once...

[@Oistrout]

Ive had the 500 for less than a year and the power section failed was still under warranty so it was fixed. No explanation why it failed.

[@beaulieumickael2190]

I have a question, can you use the xlr out without the cab for recording ? I think yes (as it's not tube) but in case...

[@gitarnick]

I'm looking for 2x12 cab right now. If you can tell me yor feelings about digbeth 212 vs darkglass 212 you tested not so long ago

[@Elwooddudes]

I wonder if these are a bit more repairable than my Terror bass 500 head?

[@theeleven42]

This or Tone Hammer 500 for someone who plays fender basses in a psych rock band but also loves classic 60s and 70s tones?

[@grabslide]

Is it also 500w using just tube with no drive at full volume?

[@eoin474]

Hey can you guys do the Hartke HD410 Hydrive and the HL-1000?

[@markbass354]

I NEED MORE BASS PLAY BASS MARC

[@marksmith830]

What about eden bass amps

[@coryrich5514]

Would it be fine to use a darkglass 212 with it. It is a 4 ohm cab with a power rating of 1000 watts

[@MadMagicPaul]

Yes.

[@marksmith830]

Laney is good bass amp can that laney throw a heavy metal mix

[@pjfields2382]

I hate these reviews in a way because they won't compare it or say whats bad....one of the only guys that actually does has a claw hand.

[@goosegaskins]

Lobsty rules!

[@spencermarszalek2552]

Sounds great. I personally really like the orange 1x12, not my favorite, but I do like the mid range character of them, especially with overdrive. That being said, I like my OBC4x10 a lot more.

[@LowEnd-DropC]

What about the Boss Bass amp? Have you reviewed this one yet? Is it any good?

[@russiangoose7053]

Someone plug a guitar into one of these and make a demo of it and crank the gain and blast some doom riffs 🤣

[@Pepper-cd9yr]

Currently selling one of these in the states for $600, like new in the box. Just don’t need it anymore, great amp though. Reply if you’re interested!

[@evenmoreevil]

Still have it for sale?

[@doomkeeper67]

i wanna be in one of your videos. how can i do that? aslo wanna crash on my sofa for a few nights bro?

[@PALongknife]

The Laney Digbeth and Darkglass Exponent are the two classiest-looking bass heads in the entire industry-- and their tone & aesthetics are exact opposites!

[@PALongknife]

I mean-- salt-&-pepper grill cloth, white piping... this thing looks classy as mother-f#ck ("AMF"? LOL)!

[@kosmonument2682]

There's no tubes. It's doing tube modeling.

[@ooinvsaoo]

As only a slight maniac, I’d like to suggest making a video of your production method, so when the real maniacs complain about it, you can post a link, and I don’t have to listen to it in video im watching 😂🤣

[@TheBassChannel]

Ha! I’ve thought about doing that

[@AJbassist]

reamping you cant play to the gear....... ? you just play out of the gear . idea came from that pedal show js .... which does have a point

[@truthisthevictory9278]

Laney is made in China.

[@derekthrash9643]

Seriously? Lol Sounds about right
