Laney DB500H Bass Amplifier Head

Compact bass amplifier head designed to deliver a vintage tone with the flexibility of modern technology. With 500 watts of Class D power, this head is lightweight enough for easy transport without sacrificing power or sonic clarity. Its hybrid preamp circuit combines an ECC83 tube with a solid-state stage, providing a warm, articulate dynamic range that suits both classic and contemporary styles. The visual design follows the retro-industrial aesthetic characteristic of the DIGBETH series, featuring metal details and intuitive controls.

Beyond its power, the DB500H stands out for its tonal versatility. It offers two switchable channels—one clean and one with tube emulation—along with a 3-band semi-parametric EQ, allowing precise sound shaping. It includes handy features such as a DI output with speaker simulation, effects loop, auxiliary input, and headphone output, making it ideal for stage, home practice, or studio recording. Overall, the DB500H is a solid choice for bassists seeking power, portability, and tone with character.
