Laney · amplifier
The Laney Digbeth Foundry DBF50 is a bass combo from Laney's Digbeth series, launched in 2021 and named after the Birmingham district where the company has its roots. The Digbeth range celebrates Laney's bass heritage and is built around valve and FET preamp stages feeding efficient power sections, giving valve character with modern weight and reliability. As a combo the DBF50 is a single-piece amplifier aimed at rehearsal and small-venue use rather than large stages. Laney has built amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967. It suits bassists who want British-built amplification with valve-flavoured preamp character in a portable format.
