DBF30 – Digbeth Foundry Bass Amplifier

The DBF30 is part of the Digbeth Foundry series, combining heritage, innovation, and affordability in one outstanding package. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for reliable gigging gear, these amplifiers provide everything you need to make your mark in music. Now everyone can experience a new standard in bass amplification.

At Laney, we care about music and musicians. Digbeth Foundry amplifiers are designed by experts, not committees. Our amps are built to be played, not just sold. The Digbeth Foundry series blends heritage, innovation, and value into one uncompromising package—giving players the tools they need to develop their own voice.

The DBF30 features a 30-watt output section, providing enough power for home practice or small gigs. It’s an ideal choice for beginners or players looking for a portable practice amplifier without sacrificing tone.

Dual Sound Options

The DBF30 features both Clean and Drive modes. Many modern bass tones rely on a touch of drive to add punch and character across a wide range of contemporary styles. The tube-style drive circuit switch adds warmth and fullness, enhancing dynamic playing.

Preshape

The DBF30 includes a switchable Preshape control. Engaging the Preshape applies an EQ curve that scoops the midrange, boosts the lows, and enhances the highs. This creates a powerful, modern tone that works especially well for slap bass or rock styles.

3-Band EQ

A powerful 3-band EQ allows you to dial in exactly the bass tone you want, providing flexible tone shaping for a wide range of playing styles.

Tilt Control

The Tilt control is a dynamic, powerful see-saw EQ. The control has a central neutral position.

• Turning it clockwise boosts mid and high frequencies while reducing low frequencies, adding presence and helping your bass cut through in live band situations.

• Turning it counter-clockwise reduces mids and highs while increasing the low end, producing a fuller, rounder overall tone.

AUX Input & Headphones

A 3.5 mm AUX input allows connection of an external audio source, making it easy to jam along with backing tracks. A 3.5 mm headphone output is also included for monitoring or silent practice.

HH Professional Woofer

The DBF30 is equipped with an 8" HH AUDIO Blue professional woofer, delivering powerful bass tones with clarity. The amp also features a removable front grille, making it a great option as a recording amplifier.

Designed to Inspire

The Digbeth Foundry series fuels your creativity with features suited to every playing style. From clean tones to raw overdrive, these amplifiers provide the tools you need to shape your unique sound. Join the growing community of Digbeth artists who are redefining modern bass tone.

Artist Quote

Charles Berthoud

“Digbeth Foundry amps have incredible power and versatility for their size. The DBF30 delivers huge bass response for something so compact and affordable. Rear-panel options like DI Out and FX Loop on the DBF50 and above are exactly what you need. Any of these amps can easily handle sessions or gigs—not to mention practice and rehearsals.”
