Laney Nathan EAST DIGBETH Series Signature Bass Amplifier Head
The Nathan EAST DIGBETH is a compact yet commanding bass amp head that balances professional studio-grade tone with genuine portability. At just 8.5 kg, this handcrafted UK-built unit delivers muscular power without the bulk, making it equally at home in the rehearsal room or on the road. The dual-channel architecture with integrated LA·IR impulse response technology gives you Nathan's signature sound straight out of the box.
Power & Stage Reliability
Twin 500W RMS outputs per channel (minimum 4 ohms) drive independent Speakon speaker connections, allowing flexible venue setup and full-frequency coverage. The FET and Tube channels with remote switchable mix control provide tonal range from punchy articulation to warm, compressed sustain without leaving your bass, keeping you locked in during live sets.
Tone Shaping & I/O
The passive tone stack (Bass, Middle with reshape voice select, Treble) plus Tilt control with independent ±level adjustment on each band gives surgical control over your midrange character and overall frequency balance. Complete I/O includes dual 1/4" instrument inputs with remote switching, 2 x XLR DI outputs equipped with LA·IR technology and ground lift for direct venue feeds, USB-C for silent DAW recording during soundcheck, and 3.5mm stereo headphone output with dedicated volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the FET and Tube channels?
The FET channel delivers punchy articulation and fast response, while the Tube channel provides warm, compressed sustain. Both are remote-switchable with integrated mix control, so you can blend or toggle between them on stage or in the studio without touching the amp.
Can I record silently to my DAW?
Yes. The amp includes USB-C connectivity and LA·IR impulse response technology loaded with Nathan's signature cabinet responses, allowing you to record directly to your computer without needing external speakers or microphones.
What speaker cabinets does this head work with?

Is this amp suitable for touring musicians?
Yes. At 8.5 kg in a compact UK-built chassis, it's designed for road use without sacrificing tone or power. The dual-channel architecture, remote switching, and studio-grade clarity make it equally reliable in the rehearsal room, on stage, or in the studio.
What EQ options are available?
The passive tone stack includes Bass, Middle with reshape voice select, and Treble controls, plus a Tilt control with independent ±level adjustment on each band. This gives surgical control over your midrange character and overall frequency balance.
