When it comes to bass there is no one more respected than Nathan East!
We were excited to release out first NE signature product, the DE-EAST in 2025.
Nathan is a busy bass player – continuously in demand! So, for Nathan to have a compact portable solution to get his ‘BIG RIG’ DB-EAST sound but in a small, portable package is amazing.
The DB-EAST-PRE is everything you have come to expect from DIGBETH feature wise. A switchable & blend-able FET and TUBE sound input stages. A tube channel that now has selectable gain characteristics along with a RANGE control for adjusting the level of low-end signal pre distortion letting you tighten up the distorted low end. Along with a powerful 3 band EQ with selectable mid PRE-SHAPES and the mighty TILT function PLUS a new MASTER VOLUME.
The DB-EAST-PRE features LA·IR equipped DI outs. Each input is routed through the preamp to its own dedicated DI out which is configured in the LA·IR app – which comes pre-loaded with high quality IR’S of Nathans favourite DBV212 & DBV210 cabinets. The IR from the DI out is switched automatically when you switch the DB-EAST-PRE’s input. This gives you complete flexibility when it comes to using multiple basses.
