Laney DBV410

Just looking for opinions on the vertical Digbeth 410 cab really.

I’ve one boxed up in my studio right now along with the 2x12. I’ve submitted my video review ready for release. 
 

I’ve had plenty of Laney gear over the years and none of it let me down; the fit and finish of the Digbeth kit suggests more of the same. I think the vertical arrangement is so much better as a 1 cab solution than DBV’s two by two version available, but I agree that the latter would look better stacked.

In use, the DBV gear has lots going on throughout the mids, but you can still dial in punchy lows - and they don’t get ‘flubby’ with bass control boosted a tad. I had a nice surprise when I mixed my recorded audio, the blended DI and Mic’d tone solo’d with my old P bass was absolutely delicious. Both cabinets take drive well again, especially in the mids where we want it.
We’re talking chunky cabinets and ceramic speakers for those who want to get back to those vintage vibes, and with that comes a reminder that they aren’t helium filled. But, along with the really nice overall stylings comes good quality handles, rear mounted wheels, a kick plate, skids and a top mounted handle to make manoeuvrability a nicer experience.

I've used one of these at Glastonbury last year and to be brutally honest I was very underwhelmed by it.

 

Seemed to lack a lot of punch and definition. I could hear bass but just not with any clarity. It looked cool but I think there's probably a lot of better cabs out there!

It looks like Dan's review is out now. I love my Digbeth head. Would love the matching 810 if it wouldn't cause some marital issues!
