Laney DB-EAST Nathan East Preamp
Product information "Laney DB-EAST Nathan East Preamp"
The DB-EAST preamp from Laney's Black Country Customs series was developed in collaboration with bass legend Nathan East. There are two channels: Tube and FET, which can also be used together. On board is a 4-band EQ with 3 switchable mid pre-shapes and the Tilt control known from the Digbeth preamp, which allows you to continuously change the frequency balance of the fundamental sound between bass and treble. Nathan East often uses a combination of acoustic and electric bass — the DB-EAST preamp provides two parallel inputs for this. The tube section offers three different tube drive voicings, and the Tube and FET channels can be activated via footswitch. The balanced XLR line out can be switched pre or post, or operated with internal Nathan East IRs (you can also load IRs from third-party providers). Features include a USB-C audio interface, an AUX in and a headphone output.

The manufacturer Laney has stood for outstanding quality and unmistakable British sound since 1967. Laney was founded in the heart of England and quickly made a name for itself with its guitar and bass amplifiers. When Lyndon Laney needed an amplifier for his band in 1966, he had no idea that this would be the beginning of a long journey – a journey that would span more than 50 years and all continents. With a clear vision and a passion for excellent sound he began developing amplifiers that are not only robust and reliable, but also sonically impressive.
Laney is known for its distinctive British sound, ranging from warm clean tones to punchy overdrives. This tonal palette is ideal for various musical styles, from blues and rock to metal. The British company relies on innovative technologies to deliver the best sound. Models like the Ironheart or the Lionheart offer modern features such as USB ports, headphone output and digital effects, without losing the classic valve tone.
Laney is proud to be a family-run company dedicated to supporting musicians. Amps are developed by musicians for musicians. The passion and understanding of musicians' needs is reflected in every product. From aspiring amateurs to professional musicians – Laney products are award-winning and are used on the biggest stages around the world.
