Laney · amplifier
The Laney Digbeth Foundry DBF200H is a two-channel 200-watt bass amplifier head from Laney's Digbeth series, launched in 2021 and named after the Birmingham district where the company originated. The Digbeth range is built around valve and FET preamp stages feeding efficient power amplification, delivering valve-flavoured character with the weight and reliability of modern designs. Its two channels give distinct voicings that can be switched rather than set as a compromise, and at 200 watts it has genuine stage output. Laney has built amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967. It suits gigging bassists who want British-built amplification with switchable preamp voices.
