AndyTravis Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I’m at a point where I’m looking at rigs - I love my orange OBC112’s - but they’ve no Horn and now I’ve got 2 bands on the go, one really needs that tweeter “click”. Has anyone got experience of the Digbeth gear? I see the 500w heads kicking about at £250 ish and they intrigue me. but also the cabs… will they do slappy stuff as well as indie/rock… I’ve been using Ashdown ABM cabs with rootmaster heads at one rehearsal space - and all the cabs at the room a knackered but having used RM heads before, I know they’re pretty capable. not sure what to do - I’m in a position where I’ll have to sell current rig to buy another… Quote
MichaelDean Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I love my Digbeth head. It'll do everything. It's so easy to get a good sound out of it. The tilt control is the secret sauce. You can make it darker or brighter with that while keeping the same base tone. I'm confident you'd be able to get a good slap sound from the amp. Not tried the cabs though, so can't comment there. @Dood had them in for review. 4 1 Quote

Dood Posted Monday at 21:05 Posted Monday at 21:05 @AndyTravis, thank you. It’s all too easy to say “it means a lot”, but genuinely, I really appreciate feedback, of course positive on my videos. I do everything myself (except for edits to my final renders by the digital guy); I’m still learning how to create and edit videos, even if I have spent the last 30+ years obsessing over everything bass and technology. Obsessing really wouldn’t be an overstatement. I have issues 🤣 I just want to create the kind of videos I want to see. I’m far from perfect in delivery, but I’m getting there. Many a time I’ve nearly given up on it as there’s a real apathy or lack of engagement - maybe that’s my fault, but it’s really hard to capture enough people’s interest. I’m not pretty and showing a bit of flesh isn’t an option, which for many seems to be the way to go in the absence of any real quality material, so losing a battle from the off when people would rather “engage” with something that requires less investment. So, I’d really appreciate if anyone watching my videos can at least give them a like to show your appreciation. Better still a supportive comment. Following my socials and the magazine channel would really give me a boost.

BassmanPaul Posted Monday at 21:33 Posted Monday at 21:33 Why not just add a bright box to your existing system. It would cost far less than a new speaker system. Quote

la bam Posted Monday at 23:20 Posted Monday at 23:20 I had the Digbeth head and 4x10 vertical cab. Great amps. All the cabs are different though (410v) (410 box) (212) so check out what's best for you. Great heads, I'd buy one again definitely. 1 Quote
MichaelDean Posted Tuesday at 11:00 Posted Tuesday at 11:00 You could also give the plugin a free trial to get a flavour for it. It's pretty close to the real thing and they've got IRs for all of the cabs. https://auroradsp.com/plugins/laney-digbeth-db500 1 Quote

stewblack Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I have played through the Digbeth at last year's SW Bass Bash and it's really sweet. Incredibly versatile and simple. I'm skint these days so settled for the preamp pedal, fed into the effects return of any amp it does the job. Highly recommended. However the best cabs I've played through without doubt are the LFSys built by our very own @stevie specifically because of the way they handle the high end. 2 Quote
