Laney Digbeth DB 200H - Bass Amplifier Head

Laney Digbeth DB 200H – compact bass amplifier head with FET and tube stages

The Laney Digbeth DB200H combines ultra-modern functionality with vintage character. This 200-watt bass amp head features both FET and tube preamp sections that can be used independently or blended, offering a wide tonal range and dynamic response in a compact, portable format.

Overview and features

The DB200H is designed for bass players who demand clarity, punch, and versatility on stage or in the studio. The unique TILT “EQ Seesaw” control acts as a dynamic EQ balance – turning it clockwise enhances mids and highs while reducing lows, and turning it counterclockwise increases bass response for a rounder, fuller sound.

Both FET and TUBE preamp sections can be footswitch-controlled or mixed together. A selectable MID EQ curve allows for fast tone shaping across different styles and environments.

FX loop and connectivity

The built-in FX loop places external effects between the preamp and output stage, ideal for using delay or reverb after distortion. The XLR DI output with Pre/Post switch enables direct connection to a mixer or interface, and the Ground Lift eliminates unwanted hum. A 3.5 mm headphone out and AUX in are also included for silent practice.

Construction and design

Featuring a durable metal chassis, compact size, and a weight of only 4.1 kg, the DB200H is easy to transport yet powerful enough for live performance. The balanced combo output (Tele/Speakon) ensures secure cabinet connection.
