Overview

Get 1,000W of stage-ready power, plus some great studio-focused features.

The NEXUS-SL: Studio or Live. Sleek, powerful, portable. Unparalleled bass tones and a huge selection of features in a simple 2U rackmount format.

The ultimate in big bass tone, the NEXUS range represents Laney’s dedication to cutting-edge, great-sounding bass backline.

BRITISH DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
The NEXUS-SL was designed and conceived with the simple goal of making the best bass amplifier on the market. Hear it and believe!

CLASS D TUBE HYBRID
The NEXUS-SL’s power amplifier section combines the power and portability of cutting-edge Class D technology with the natural warmth, compression and dynamic range that only a tube can give: A high voltage ECC83 tube sits between the preamplifier and the 1,000W RMS power section. A pioneering design solution to give the very best of both worlds.

SIMPLE WITH HIDDEN DEPTHS
The ergonomic front panel design allows great bass tone to be found easily. The bottom row of control knobs houses tone shaping: Keep it simple and set everything to 12 o’clock or work through the EQ options to find the sweet spot. Head to the top row to instantly dial in bass-sympathetic digital fx : Space (Reverb or Chorus) and Interval (Octaves or 5ths).

TILT AND TOUCH
Laney developed two unique functions to control the NEXUS-SL power stage. Tilt is an instant EQ seesaw – turn right to cut through, turn left to for a rounder sound. ‘Touch’ adjusts output response – turn right to add touch sensitivity, turn left for a tighter, faster response.

T-USB
The back panel houses Laney’s T-USB interface allowing connection direct into a DAW and simultaneous recording of both dry signal and amped tone. The original dry signal recording can then be RE-AMPED through the NEXUS-SL to find the exact recorded tone desired for the mix.

STUDIO SPEC DI
NEXUS-SL has a studio spec DI with a variety of signal path options for PRE, POST or OUTPUT send.

EXTRAS INCLUDED
The NEXUS-SL is supplied with a dedicated FS4-NSL footswitch, rack-mounting kit and a gig ready carry -case.
