Frequently asked questions
Can the AH60 work as a bass amp?
The AH60 is designed as a keyboard and multi-instrument combo amp with full-range 65 Hz to 18 kHz response, so it can reproduce bass signals, but it is not voiced specifically for bass guitar performance like the DIGBETH.
Is the DIGBETH suitable for practice without an amp?
Yes, the DIGBETH includes a 3.5mm stereo headphone output and USB-C audio interface for silent practice and recording, making it ideal for headphone-only sessions.
What is the skill-level difference?
The AH60 suits beginners through advanced players across multiple instruments. The DIGBETH is targeted at intermediate, advanced, and professional bass players who need sophisticated tone control and studio integration.
Can either unit feed a live PA system?
The AH60 includes a balanced XLR DI output for PA integration. The DIGBETH is specifically designed as a DI source with switchable preamp modes (pre, post, LA-IR) for console-ready signals in live settings.
