A classic graphic EQ, with 10 bands of +/- 12dB gain, proportional Q and VU meters. Enhanced with an additional drive module for vintage saturation.

### 5/5 — So Powerful

*2026-01-29*

Amazing sound quality always and aesthetics one of my favorite bass sound design  plugin with pedals.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-01-04*

I’m only reviewing to hopefully stop Ableton asking for a Digbeth review on each startup :) but it’s worth it, meaty plugin with a lot of scope for bassists or bass-focused music production.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Fantastic

*2024-12-20*

Having used the Laney Digbeth Preamp pedal as well as the Black Country Custom pedals for my bass setup I was intrigued to hear about this app version of them and have been blown away by how amazing it sounds and looks. Aurora DSP deserve a medal for how well they have produced this app as it sounds a spitting image to the physical pedal setup and it has made my bass recording setup a lot more simpler and convenient. I can’t wait to try the Laney Ironheart for my guitar.
