Description
Laney Digbeth Bass HEAD 200W RMS
The Laney Digbeth is a compact, lightweight bass amplifier head that delivers serious power without the bulk or heat. At 5.8 kg, it's built for bass players moving between venues regularly, and its Class D amplification with passive convection cooling runs completely silent—no fan noise to color your tone or muddy the room mix. The dual-channel architecture gives you real flexibility: blend FET and Tube channels to dial in anything from punchy modern articulation to warm, natural sustain that cuts through a live band.
Power & Cooling Performance
200 watts RMS at 400W continuous output provides ample headroom for most gigging situations, with enough reserve for dynamic peaks when you dig in. The Class D amplifier design combined with fully passive convection cooling means zero fan noise during performance, keeping your signal chain clean and letting you focus on locking in with drums and keys without unwanted artifacts bleeding into monitors or the PA feed.
Signal Path & Flexibility
Comprehensive I/O includes 6.3 mm instrument input, 3.5 mm stereo aux input, FX send and return jacks, and a balanced XLR D.I. output (pre-EQ) for direct connection to mixing consoles and live sound rigs. The 1MΩ input impedance ensures optimal interaction with passive and active basses alike, while the Speakon-compatible combi jack output accommodates standard speaker cables without adaptors, keeping your rig roadworthy and trouble-free.
