The DB-EAST offers unprecedented flexibility with two separate inputs and outputs.
"I've waited 40 years for this!" Nathan East.
"Every amp only has one input—why? I'll never know. But this has two and two separate outputs so that the front-of-house engineer or anyone mixing the room can have each instrument separately."
The DB-EAST features 2 LA·IR equipped DI outs. Each input is routed through the preamp to its own dedicated DI out. The DI out is switched automatically when you switch the DB-EAST's input.
This gives you complete flexibility when it comes to using multiple basses.
Building on Laney's DIGBETH legacy, the DB-EAST features a unique preamp section that allows players to mix TUBE warmth with FET clarity.
"This thing is so musical. When I'm on stage playing, it doesn't feel like an electronic piece of gear or a set of tubes." - Nathan East
The amp boasts a 3-band EQ with a parametric mid-section and Laney's innovative Tilt function.
East explains,
"Let's start with the funk setting—where I like to scoop the mids. This is sort of the setting I use when it comes to a little bit of funk."
LA·IR technology allows you to have two IRs stored on the DB-EAST, one for each DI out. You have access to more than that in the free LA·IR APP, but two on the device.
Each IR can have independent parametric EQs per IR. So, if you have an IR that you really like, but you need to tweak for a particular application you can, to make it perfect for a particular venue or for a particular recording scenario. It's very powerful.
The DB-EAST features a socket compatible with USB-C™ for connecting to the LA·IR APP, but it also supports audio in/out, so you can use it directly into your favourite DAW, making it super convenient for recording silently.
"We now have twice the power, twice the inputs, twice the magic!" - Nathan East.
With 1,000W of power and dual 500W speakON compatible outputs, the DB-EAST is built for any stage, from intimate jazz clubs to massive stadiums.
