Laney DIGBETH DB500H

Not even loud enough for practice, huh? The stack looks killer, though!

So if the DB 500 at 8 ohms, which would be putting out 250-300 watts, isn't loud enough to do anything, I guess the DB 200, even at 4 ohms, is pretty much useless. That seems to be what people are saying.

In my case I wouldn't do it because even if it was loud enough, I would loose the acoustic coupling of both speakers and I would then try to compensate for that with EQ which would then be pushing the cab even more and still not sound the same. So IMHO two cabs always to give me the tone I want, the volume I want and the safety I want.

The Digbeth 200 may be great at 4 ohms because of the extra speakers. More speakers is always better than more wattage for more volume.

I got my Digbeth 500h today, and it's plenty loud with my single Orange OBC112 for practice. In Tube mode with these settings it was loud as hell with the volume on 6.

Yep, the Digbeth is a seriously loud amp and when you blend both channels together it gets even louder. I would still worry a little bit about pushing one OBC112 with that amp, but if it works, great.

Congratulations.

I wrote to Laney, and they said it would be fine.

I leave each of my Bergantino heads at their respective rehearsal spots. I also run my MOOG Taurus pedals through another bass rig with a Quilter head at practice. That meant I had no amp at the house. Came across a DB500H on local FB Marketplace. Grabbed it at a great price. Really digging it so far! Plus, it fits on my Bergantino cabs. I hate a "muffin top" amp setup!
