Laney Digbeth Bass combo 100W RMS,12"
Description
Laney Digbeth Bass Combo 100W RMS 12"
The Laney Digbeth is a compact, road-ready bass amplifier that delivers serious punch from a remarkably portable footprint. Its Class D amplifier runs completely silent with passive convection cooling—no fan noise during quiet passages or between songs. The combo weighs just 13.2 kg (29.1 lbs) and measures a mere 18.7" × 16.4" × 13", making it genuinely practical for gigging musicians who refuse to compromise on tone or output.
Amplification & Tone Shaping
Dual channels—FET and Tube voicing—with independent mix control give you two complete tonal palettes in one unit, footswitchable via optional FS1-Mini footswitch. The EQ section includes Bass (±12dB), Middle with four switchable voicing options (±12dB), Treble (±12dB), and Tilt control, providing surgical precision across the frequency spectrum. Drive circuits on both channels add aggression when needed, while the Preshape switch tailors the preamp character before it hits the power amp.
Speaker & Stage Reliability
A professional-grade 1 × 12" HH Audio Blue woofer reproduces a wide 47 Hz–18 kHz frequency response and delivers 119 dB SPL continuous / 122 dB SPL peak output at 1 meter—more than sufficient for full-volume stage work or rehearsal rooms. Inputs include 6.3mm instrument jack, 3.5mm stereo aux, and 6.3mm FX return; outputs cover 3.5mm headphone, 6.3mm FX send, and balanced XLR DI for direct interface with mixing consoles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the FET and Tube channels?
The Digbeth offers two independent voicing palettes with separate mix and drive controls on each channel—FET for clean, punchy character and Tube for warmer, more aggressive tone. You can footswitch between them (with the optional FS1-Mini footswitch) or blend them together for hybrid textures.
Will this amp handle a full live gig or small venue?
Yes. The 12" woofer delivers 119 dB SPL continuous and 122 dB SPL peak output, which is sufficient for full-volume stage work and larger rehearsal rooms. At only 29 lbs, it's genuinely portable without compromising output or tone.
Why does it matter that this uses Class D with passive cooling?
Class D amplifiers run completely silent with no fan noise—critical for studio recording, quiet passages during live performance, and between-song breaks. Passive convection cooling eliminates fan hum entirely, letting your tone and the room breathe.
What outputs does it have for studio or live mixing?
The Digbeth includes a balanced XLR DI output for direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces, a 6.3mm FX send, 3.5mm headphone jack, and standard instrument input. The aux input (3.5mm stereo) lets you practice or rehearse with backing tracks.
How versatile is the EQ?
The three-band EQ includes Bass (±12dB), Treble (±12dB), and a Middle control with four switchable voicing options (±12dB each), plus a Tilt control and Preshape switch for additional character shaping. This combination provides surgical precision across the frequency spectrum.
