Merton Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Looks interesting. An 800W amp would be the dream…: https://www.laney.co.uk/digbeth-bass-2021-06 Edited June 25, 2021 by Merton Spelling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 oooh! Best I have a chat to get these reviewed ASAP then! I always thought the Laney SL kit was rather good - interested in these for a spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 The preamp pedal looks great and at under £150 is a superb price. Could rival my love for the Ashdown OriginAL preamp 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The offset 410 cab looks to me to be a great design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say “how very dare he” until I looked at the spec, I may well have to try one out myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 The pedal is really intriguing, @eude and I are hatching a plan to go check them out as soon as Andertons has stock. The 500W head was intriguing too, until I realised it’s 4cm wider than the Barefaced One10 in its horizontal config. Can’t be doing with overhang 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakester Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Why *is* it called Digbeth? I mean, there's been a few good venues and a couple of notable gigs, but it's not like it's really a massively influential part of the music scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz39 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The Custard Factory's in Digbeth I think, that's rather trendy thesedays. And the coach station. The rest is roads innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I like Laney - something understated about them. The rigs look cool as! I used to have the Nexus tube (had to sell due to lockdown) and the N410 cab. They also made really lightweight 810s in the past (around 30-40kg). Any ideas on price at the moment?

la bam Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Is the 500 head a solid state head, not a class D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The pre-amp pedal looks very interesting - it'll be good to hear some proper demos when people get their hands on one. 7kg for the head seems a lot when the pre-amp's only 750g. Must be some big iron in there... imagine the heft! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The 500w head does look interesting. Historically I haven't had the best experience with Laney. That's because I moved from a Trace Elliot combo to a similarly spec'd Laney one and, well, you know, Trace Watts and all that. But that's a singular situation and many years ago - I don't use it to measure the entire brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The videos I've seen so far, tend to be saying these are not class d but proper old fashioned solid state transistor amps. It's not clear yet. I heard GK are ready to launch a small compact, but full solid state, versions of their old classics. So maybe this is the new trend?

Lozz196 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) £149 for the pedal looks good, be interested to hear how these perform. The staggered 410 also looks interesting. Edited June 26, 2021 by Lozz196 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
