Laney Digbeth DB500H head

With the EQ on the DB500H set flat, the amp provides a clean and powerful response, with a solid bottom end. The throaty character of the passive basses is projected well, with the 2x12 speaker format conveying a fine mix of lows and mids. The highs are a little restrained until the horn is brought into play, which gives a more articulate display in the upper register. The mid-EQ presets on the amp are very useful, offering a defined character with each setting. Five-string bass demonstrates how well the FET stage conveys the low-end performance, particularly when entering the extended range of the low B string.
