Advanced LA-IR Technology for Superior D.I. Tone

Laney's LA-IR technology sets the DB-EAST apart, offering dual D.I. outputs equipped with cabinet impulse responses for studio-grade sound. Each input is routed to its own D.I., allowing individual EQ adjustments for each instrument at the mixing desk. The amp includes two onboard IRs—Nathan East's favorite DBV410 and DBV212 cabinets—with the ability to load and tweak additional IRs via the free LA-IR app. A USB-C connection further enhances usability by supporting audio in/out for direct recording into a DAW. This cutting-edge D.I. functionality ensures perfect tone reproduction for every performance or recording scenario.

Blendable FET and Tube Preamp for Dynamic Tone

The DB-EAST incorporates Laney's dual-stage preamp, offering blendable FET and tube input stages to craft your ideal tone. The FET stage delivers clean, punchy response, while the tube stage adds warmth and harmonic richness.

Coupled with the newly added master volume, players can shape their sound with exceptional control while maintaining optimal output levels. This preamp design ensures versatility in achieving both modern and vintage bass tones with ease.
