Laney Digbeth DB-PRE Bass Preamp Pedal
Portable Digbeth Bass Tone for Stage, Studio and Pedalboard Rigs
The Laney Digbeth DB-PRE is a professional bass preamp pedal designed to bring the distinctive Digbeth sound to virtually any setup. Compact yet highly flexible, it combines blendable FET and Tube signal paths with comprehensive EQ controls, giving bassists access to everything from tight modern clarity and clean low-end punch through to warm valve-inspired grit and harmonic richness.
Whether used as a standalone preamp, a front-end tone shaper or a direct recording solution, the DB-PRE delivers impressive versatility in a pedalboard-friendly format.
Powerful Tone Shaping with Extensive Connectivity
At the heart of the DB-PRE are independent FET Volume, Tube Drive and Tube Volume controls, allowing players to blend clean and driven tones with precision. The 3-band EQ section includes switchable low-mid frequency selection, helping bassists target one of the most critical frequency areas for live and studio performance. Laney’s unique TILT control acts as a tonal balance adjustment, making it easy to quickly brighten or darken the overall sound without dramatically altering its character.
A wide range of connectivity options ensures seamless integration into almost any rig, including active and passive inputs, a balanced DI output with pre/post switching, ground lift, FX loop, headphones output, auxiliary input and link output.
