Laney Black Country Customs Nathan East Signature Bass Preamp Pedal

Overview

The Laney Black Country Customs BCC-DB-EAST-PRE is a professional bass preamp pedal developed in close collaboration with legendary bassist Nathan East. Designed to condense the "big rig" tone of his signature DB-EAST head into a pedalboard-friendly format, this unit offers two distinct, blendable signal paths: a "FET" channel for clean, high-headroom punch, and a "Tube" channel that introduces warmth and grit with adjustable drive and volume. This dual-channel architecture allows players to craft complex textures that sit perfectly in any mix, from pristine pop lines to growling rock bass.

Equipped with a comprehensive EQ section, the pedal features a 4-band equalizer with a sweepable low-mid frequency and Laney’s innovative "Tilt" control for instant global tonal balancing. It excels as a studio and stage hub, boasting dual inputs for seamless instrument switching and a transformer-isolated DI output with Laney's Advanced Impulse Response (LA·IR) technology. This system comes pre-loaded with Nathan East’s favorite cabinet simulations (DBV410 and DBV212), ensuring studio-grade consistency directly to the FOH or recording interface via USB-C.
