Laney - DB-EAST-PRE
Nathan east signatureWhen it comes to bass there is no one more respected than Nathan East! Laney proudly released their first Nathan East signature product, the DB-EAST in 2025, Nathan is a busy bass player – continuously in demand! So, for Nathan to have a compact portable solution to get his ‘BIG RIG’ sound but in a small, portable package is amazing. Introducing the DB-EAST-PRE, ours and Nathan’s first signature bass pre-amplifier.
The Black Country Customs team has evolved and refined the sound expanding on the beloved FET and TUBE channels, adding more articulation and control. The DB-EAST-PRE enhanced tube channel now features selectable gain characteristics. Giving the player 3 different gain options to choose from. Ranging from (i) Mild gain with light asymmetric clipping, to (II) with more asymmetrical clipping available and finally (III) a more aggressive distortion generating more pronounced odd harmonics, giving it a more aggressive modern sound. The RANGE control works in conjunction with the GAIN setting and allows you to dial in the level of low-end signal pre distortion, which determines how punchy or extended the low-end response is.
