Laney Digbeth Bass combo 50W RMS, 10"
Description
Laney Digbeth Bass Combo 50W RMS, 10"
The Laney Digbeth is a compact, road-ready bass amplifier that delivers serious punch from a footprint small enough to fit in any venue or rehearsal space. Its Class D topology with passive convection cooling runs silently, letting the amplifier disappear and your bass tone take center stage. The dual-channel design—switchable between FET and Tube modes—gives you flexibility to dial in everything from tight, modern punch to warm, vintage character.
Power & Amplification
50 watts RMS output (100W continuous) drives the 1 x 10" HH Blue professional woofer with authority, producing 114 dB SPL continuous and 117 dB peak at 1 meter—enough headroom for small clubs, studios, and rehearsals. The Class D amplifier with fully passive convection cooling operates silently with zero fan noise, and the dual-channel architecture lets you toggle between FET and Tube modes with an optional footswitch for instant tonal variation.
Tone Shaping & Connectivity
A full complement of EQ tools—bass, middle, treble controls (±12dB each), plus tilt EQ—provides deep tone-shaping capability across the entire spectrum. Connections include a balanced XLR DI output (pre-EQ), FX loop, stereo headphone jack, and auxiliary input, making integration with mixing consoles, recording setups, and backing tracks seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between FET and Tube modes, and how do I switch between them?
FET mode delivers tight, modern punch with fast transient response, while Tube mode produces warm, vintage character. You can toggle between them instantly with an optional external footswitch or by using the front-panel controls.
Is 50 watts loud enough for gigging?
Yes—the Digbeth produces 114 dB continuous SPL and 117 dB peak at 1 meter, providing plenty of headroom for small clubs, rehearsals, and studio work. Its 10-inch HH Blue professional woofer delivers authority well beyond its compact footprint.
Can I use this for recording or streaming, and what outputs does it have?
Absolutely. It includes a balanced XLR DI output (pre-EQ) for direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces, plus an FX loop, stereo headphone jack, and auxiliary input for backing tracks or multitrack playback.
How heavy is it, and will it fit in a car or van?
The Digbeth weighs 10.9 kg (24 lbs) and measures 435 x 401 x 301 mm (17.1" x 15.8" x 11.9"), making it road-friendly and easy to transport. It has a steel-reinforced carry handle for secure handling.
Does the amplifier produce fan noise?
No—the Class D topology uses fully passive convection cooling (no fan), so it operates completely silently. This makes it ideal for studio recording and sensitive live environments where noise is a concern.
