INTRODUCTION

When it comes to bass there is no one more respected than Nathan East.

Nathan East is without doubt, one of the most prolific bass players of all time, recording and playing with artists such as Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Toto, Daft Punk, Chick Corea …. the list goes on.
We were excited when Nathan joined the Laney DIGBETH family a few years back. Since the very beginning we have been working closely with Nathan to develop a new amplifier, designed to meet the varied requirements of his touring and playing life, without compromise.

We are very proud to announce, in collaboration with the one and only Nathan East, a new addition to the DIGBETH FAMILY – the DB-EAST.
Nathan fell in love with the sound of DIGBETH the moment he heard it, so we knew we had the right sound, we just needed to make it more flexible. So, we started with dual inputs.

The DB-EAST features a pair of inputs that allows you to connect two instruments at the same time. These could be an acoustic bass and an electric bass as in Nathan’s case, or it could be a 4 string and a five string, or an active and a passive bass. Whatever you choose. This makes swapping from one bass to another as simple as the flick of a switch. Both inputs have the same tonal characteristics, with input 2 featuring a trim pot allowing you to match basses of different output levels, either acoustic, active or passive.
Simply switch from one input to the other via the front panel or connecting to the footswitch socket on the back.

The DB-EAST pre-amp is everything you have come to expect from DIGBETH. With FET and TUBE input stages that are switchable & blend-able, powerful 3 band EQ with a switchable mid voicing options and the mighty TILT function, plus a MASTER VOLUME. The DB-EAST panel also features new low reflectivity knobs which make the unit easy to read under stage lights and give it a very seductive look.
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, giving you complete flexibility when it comes to using multiple basses.

Dual switchable inputs and LA·IR equipped DI outs makes it possible to supply the FOH with a dedicated output for each instrument which can be EQ’d independently at the desk. Rather than having to share a channel and compromise between one bass and then the other.
The inclusion of LA·IR technology on the DI outs means you can add exactly the right cabinet IR and EQ exactly as you want to get the perfect bass sound every time via the free LA·IR APP.

LA·IR technology allows you to have two IRs stored on the DIGBETH-EAST, one for each DI out however you can have access to more than that in the free LA·IR APP, Each IR can have independent 8-band parametric EQs per
IR, So should you need to tweak for a particular application, you have the ability to make it perfect for a particular venue or recording scenario. It’s very powerful. The DB-EAST is shipped with a set of IRs from Nathans favourite cabs – the DBV410 on channel 1 and the DBV212 on channel 2.

The DB-EAST features a USB C socket for connecting to the LA·IR APP, and it also supports audio in/out, so you can use it directly into your favourite DAW, making it super convenient for recording silently.
The DIGBETH-EAST features dual speakON® compatible outputs. Each output connects to an independent 500- Watt monoblock amplifier, giving you plenty of power to distribute across the stage.

The DB-EAST has become Nathans go to amp for his wide and varied gigs due to its tone and versatility

In the words of the great bass player himself, “It’s a game changer”.

CONTROLS

FRONT PANEL

INPUT STAGE
Two 6.35mm jack sockets available for user flexibility. Both inputs accept a wide signal level range and as a result are suitable for both passive and active bass guitars. Note: Only one Input can used at a time. The adjacent toggle switch selects the ‘live’ input with the led’s (red for Input 1 and blue for Input 2) making selection status easily visible at a glance. The channel select can also be switched remotely.
The TRIM control is used to balance the signal level between the two inputs applying the level shift to Input 2. This could be used to balance the signal level between two different passive bass guitars or a passive and an active guitar for example. Alternatively, two guitars with a similar output level could be made intentionally different
FET VOLUME
Controls the level of the FET channel. This channel offers a clean, fast response which is articulate and punchy in the low end.
FET/TUBE
Changes the selected channel between FET & TUBE channels. With the SWITCH set to TUBE and the TUBE VOLUME in the PULL position, MIX mode is enabled. This will provide a blend between FET and TUBE channels. The FET/TUBE can also be switched remotely.
TUBE DRIVE
Sets the amount of pre-gain to the TUBE channel. At low settings the TUBE channel will have subtle amount of overdrive adding a characteristic warm sound. At higher settings the TUBE channel is pushed harder, giving you more growl and distortion.
TUBE VOLUME
Controls the post-gain level of the TUBE channel. Use it in conjunction with the TUBE drive control to get the perfect overdrive tone at the right volume. The TUBE VOLUME control can also be pulled to combine both the TUBE & FET channel. This allows blending of the sonic benefits of both channels. Great for a clean tone with a small bit of grit or a distorted tone with super punchy bass!
EQ
BASS – Increasing this control adds more low frequencies to the sound, great for increasing the sub. Decreasing this control cuts back low frequencies, useful to help reign in low end feedback or clean up a muddy sound.
MID MODE – A 4-position rotary switch – each position applies a different pre-shaped EQ sound.
The position selected works in conjunction with the MID LEVEL CONTROL.
- Position 1 – A narrow lower mid cut which is great for giving more definition to your bass when playing with a drummer. Pull it back to give space to the kick & snare, bring it up to push your bass in front of the drums.
- Position 2 – A wider mid-range control brings out the growl of you bass, very useful to give more bite to your distorted tones, or for cutting back and increasing mid-range clarity.
- Position 3 – A narrow mid-range setting, like position 2, though more refined and less aggressive, good for scooping out your bass for a slap tone or increasing definition when playing distorted guitars.
- Position 4 – A upper mid setting, great for homing in on the pop of a bass or to cut back on fret noise.
  MID LEVEL
  This control works in conjunction with the MID MODE control and is used to boost or cut the MID band.
  TREBLE
  Boost the higher frequencies giving more top end clarity to the sound. Decrease the control to remove higher frequencies, good for a subby mellow sound.
TILT
Works like an overall balance control of the tone. Turning clockwise toward the treble clef will decrease lower frequencies and boost higher frequencies. Turning anticlockwise towards the bass clef does the opposite. This control is perfect for fine tuning your overall tone and making sure your tone works in any situation.
MASTER VOLUME
Allows for the quick adjustment of the overall output level whilst maintaining the tone and colouration achieved in the input and EQ stages.

STANDBY/RUN SWITCH
Quicky and easily mute the amplifier output stage. In Run mode, the jewel light will be continuously illuminated, and in standby mode it will pulse. In STANDBY the loudspeaker outputs will be muted, but signal will still be present at the PHONES, FX-SEND, DI and TUNER Outputs.

REAR PANEL

POWER
A universal power input via an IEC C14 socket. An AC supply from 110V-240V is acceptable and voltage selection or adjustment on the DB-EAST amplifier is not required. The power switch provides complete power isolation in the off position.

USB C PORT
Connect to a Windows or MacOS computer (via the included USB C cable) to connect your DB-EAST to our LA·IR app. Update the onboard IRs and modify their EQ individually with the easy to use 8-band EQ graph. The USB C port also supports AUDIO IN/OUT. Audio IN goes only to the speaker outputs and not to the DIOUTPUTS. Audio OUT to your DAW follows whatever DI out is currently selected. See APP for more information.
REMOTE SOCKETS
Two 6.35mm jack sockets to connect footswitches, providing access to amplifier functionality. The top socket tip connection allows the user to select the input source, either INPUT 1 or INPUT 2. For the remote to work, the front panel toggle switch must be set to INPUT 2.
The bottom socket provides FET/TUBE channel switch on the tip connection (with front panel toggle switch in the TUBE position) and AMP MUTE on the ring connection, with the front panel toggle set to MUTE. LANEY FS1-MINI & FS2-MINI footswitch remotes are recommended (not included)
DI OUTPUTS
Two balanced XLR outputs are available with OUTPUT 1 sourced from INPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 from INPUT 2. Both have independent MODE switches allowing the user to choose the signal source point. The DB-EAST head is shipped with 2 independent IR’s, of Nathans favourite Laney Digbeth cabinets. On DI-OUTPUT 1 is an IR of the DBV410 cabinet and on DI-OUTPUT 2 is an IR of the DBV212 cabinet. Each of these IR’s can be accessed, EQ’d, adjusted and saved to the DB-EAST via the LA·IR app. The LA·IR APP also allows you to import your own IR’s.
PRE – Signal sourced from the front stage of the amplifier. Before FET/Tube channels and any EQ.
POST – Post FET/Tube gains and EQ controls. Also includes aux input.
LA·IR – Same as POST but includes the voicing of the saved IR. The LA·IR can be different for each DI
OUT with alternatives being available to the user via the LA·IR app.
Note: The Input 2 TRIM control won’t affect the signal output level from DI 2 in PRE but will in POST and
LA·IR modes.
GROUND LINK switches are independently available for each DI outputs and are used to prevent or reduce audio hum induced by earth loops when connecting to other equipment.

PHONES
A 3.5mm jack with an independent VOLUME control for monitoring or silent practice. The PHONES output is subject to the DI mode selection of the currently selected input – PRE, POST or LA·IR.
AUX
A 3.5mm jack with VOLUME control for connecting an external sound source. Useful for jamming along with audio tracks. The Aux signal is routed to the amplifier outputs, but only to the DI/Phones outputs in POST/ LA·IR modes.
FX LOOP
These sockets are used for connecting external effects device to your amplifier. Connect the send jack to the input of your external device and the return socket to the output. The FX loop (alongside the aux in) goes via the master volume straight to the amplifier.
A switch is provided with three settings:
BYPASS will skip anything connected to the FX loop. -10dB, 0dB provide a level shift depending on the outboard gear used. Generally speaking, the FX loop should be set to -10 if FX pedals are used, and the 0dB setting for rack gear or if distortion is heard.

TUNER OUT
Plug your external tuning device in here. The pure input signal is routed to the TUNER socket even when the DB-EAST is in MUTE mode allowing silent tuning. Follows the input switch setting.
DUAL LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS
Two speakON compatible combo outputs producing up to 500W RMS into 4 Ohm minimum loudspeakers. Suitable for either 6.3mm Jacks or the higher power rated NL2 speakON type connectors. Recommend using the NL2 connectors for most applications. Both loudspeaker outputs work independently and are internally coupled to separate amplifier blocks.

Ensure the total impedance connected to each socket is 4 Ohms or greater to avoid unnecessary stress on the DB-EAST.
Leaving the speaker outputs unconnected is perfectly fine, and will not result in damage to the DB-East amplifier.

CONNECTIONS

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTION
Laney recommends our Digbeth series cabinets to compliment the DB-EAST amplifier. Currently available as DBV212, DBV410 and DBV810 options all in 4 ohms for maximum power.

Both speaker outputs work independently, and it is perfectly acceptable to have different cabinets attached to each output or to have one or both outputs unconnected.

APP

Through the purchase of your DB-EAST, you have access to Laney’s LAPIR app. The app allows you to expand the sound of your DB-EAST even further by switching out the preloaded IRs with your own as well as offering an 8-band parametric EQ for each DI output.
All this can be done on the fly during practice, so you can hear the change in your sound as you go.

The app runs on Windows 10/11 and Mac OS.

DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION
To receive your software, first register your product via the Laney warranty page. On submission of your registration, you will be provided with a download link for the installer – MAC or WINDOWS. A link to download the software will also be forwarded to your email.

WINDOWS
Once downloaded, run the Setup-LAIR_x64.exe found in the downloads folder in file explorer. Follow the installers instructions, accepting the EULA and choosing a suitable location for the install, then press Install to complete.

MAC
Once the .dmg file has been downloaded, drag this into the applications folder to complete the install. Launch the LAPIR app from this folder location from now on.

LA·IR UPDATE
The app will automatically prompt you for an update upon startup should a new version be released. We recommend accepting any updates as they may include new features or bug fixes.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
Similarly, with your DB-EAST connected and powered on, you will be notified if any firmware updates are available. Again, we recommend allowing any updates that come through so as to improve your user experience.

Minor updates may not show as a pop-up so be sure to check the update panel from time to time, where these can be accessed.

USING THE APP

CONNECTING THE DB-EAST
Connecting the DB-EAST is easily done via the included USB C cable. Plug one end into the USB C socket on the back of the head and the other into your computer that has the app downloaded. If your computer only has USB A sockets, don’t worry we’ve included a USB A to C adaptor too.

CHANGING THE IRs
Aside from the two preloaded IRs, the app can be used to swap these out for any of your own IRs. To load your own User IR, click the drop-down box under either cab A/B and select “Import IR” – only .wav files can be used and you should ensure they are 48kHz sample rate. The app will convert your IR into the .Lair file format used internally. Do not worry, your original .wav file will not be deleted. Two of Laney’s own DBV410 and DBV212 cab IRs are also included with the app.

It is possible to edit the name of User IRs as well as delete them from the amplifier and the app. To do so, right click on any IRs under the “User” section and press “EDIT” or “DELETE”. The default System IRs cannot be deleted.

WARNING: Deleting a User IR is permanent and cannot be reversed. The only way to get the IR back is to re-import the original .wav file

CHANGING THE GAIN
The gain of each cabinet IR can also be changed individually via the radial control on the right-hand side, should they be too loud/quiet. This gain will be saved to the IR’s .Lair file so will remain when using the amplifier without the app.

Simply drag the slider, or alternatively use your mouse scroll wheel or double click and manually type the gain you want (in dB). Ranges from -40dB to +6dB.

CHANGING THE EQ
The LAPIR app also comes with an 8-band parametric EQ for each DI. 5 different filters are available, paired with easy-to-use controls allowing you to change the gain, frequency and Q factor depending on the filter applied.

WARNING: Any EQ changes will be permanently lost if the app is closed/disconnected without saving

EQ TOGGLE
Turn on and off the EQ for both DI’s, useful for dry/wet testing.
A+B LINK
Link the DI 1+2 EQs to be the same. This will follow the EQ for DI 1 when pressed. Unlinking will revert DI 2 to its previous state.
DI CAB SELECT
Choose which DI you want to edit the EQ for. Selected DI is highlighted in black.

BAND CONTROLS
The main controls for each EQ band are found here. Turn the band on and off and change the filter you want to apply from the drop-down menu. Choose from peaking, high/low pass, and high/low shelf. Additionally, 3 radial sliders are available to change the gain, centre frequency and Q factor of the filter. The value of each slider can be changed by dragging, using your mouse scroll wheel, or double clicking the number and manually typing in your desired value. Depending on the filter selected, 1or multiple of these controls will be available.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE GRAPH
This graph displays the resultant frequency response of all the EQ bands. View your changes live to easily see how your sound will be affected. Additionally, each band is colour coded so you can see which filter is doing what.
BAND NODE
The graph also shows a numbered node representing each band currently active. Showing the current centre frequency and gain, these are draggable to allow for quick and easy changes. For more precise changes we recommend using the band controls (4).

SAVE
Press this to save any unsaved changes to the EQs (both A and B), so they can be stored on the pedal and used without the app. Should any unsaved changes be present, this will be visible to alert you that closing the app (or disconnecting the pedal) will lose these changes.

SETTINGS PANEL

LANGUAGE
Change the language of the LAPIR app to your preferred language.
RESET DEVICE
This will reset all EQ and gain changes as well as return the IRs back to the default Nathan East ones. This cannot be undone and all changes from the default will be lost.
ERASING THE USER IRS
Delete all user IRs from the app. These are impossible to get back unless you have the original .wav file to import again so be sure you want to do this. A pop-up warning will show before deleting.

OPEN USER IR FOLDER
Open the folder where all your imported IRs are stored.
