Welcome to what happens when you stop settling for compromise. Designed in collaboration with Billy Corgan, the SUPERGRACE LOUDPEDAL brings together two decades of amplifier innovation. You’ve got the modern, high-gain mastery of the Carstens GRACE. You’ve got the legendary raw power of the Laney SUPERGROUP. And now they’re both here, engineered into a single, portable 60-watt platform. This is the professional-grade tone that defined stadiums, built for every player who refuses to accept second best.

Two Worlds, One Sound The SUPERGRACE unites two completely different tonal universes without asking you to sacrifice anything. Footswitch between the crystalline articulation and massive modern gain of the GRACE channel, the one born from Billy Corgan’s refusal to compromise on extreme gain and note definition at saturation levels, and the unfiltered British aggression of the SUPERGROUP, a circuit so powerful it shaped early heavy metal, influencing Billy and every generation since it’s first release in the late 60s. These aren’t approximations. These aren’t digital models trying their best. They’re faithful sonic translations of their heritage amplifiers, built into one compact floor unit.

Nathan East has played on more hit records than any other bass player in history. Over 50 years, his tone has shaped the sound of modern music. Now that tone comes to you in a compact preamp handcrafted in our Birmingham workshop. This is the DB-EAST-PRE. This is what happens when you design gear around real-world demands instead of marketing benchmarks.

The Most Recorded Bass Player in the World, Now a Partner Nathan East has been there from the beginning. He played on “Get Lucky” with Daft Punk. He’s been the bass player on tour with Eric Clapton. He’s recorded with Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Elton John and thousands of other artists. His CV isn’t just impressive. It’s
a masterclass in what working bass players actually need. In 2023, Nathan found something special in Laney’s DB500H amplifier. As he pushed it across his solo gigs and his tours with Clapton, we listened. Really listened. That collaboration became the DIGBETH-EAST bass head. Now we’ve taken that philosophyfurther with the DB-EAST-PRE, a signature preamp built for working musicians who refuse to compromise on tone.
