MESA/Boogie has introduced a compact, full‑featured follow‑up to its highly acclaimed first‑generation Subway bass preamp pedals. Consolidating the strengths of the original two preamp models into a single, streamlined unit, the Subway+ Bass DI‑Preamp II adds smart refinements that give bassists all the tone‑shaping tools they need to capture the sound, feel, and response that have made the Subway Series market leaders in premium bass tone.
Building on the foundation laid by the celebrated Subway® D‑800™, Subway® D‑800+, and Subway® D‑350 preamps, the new model delivers world‑class MESA bass tone in a format that is approximately 40% smaller than previous Subway+ design. The result is a road‑ready, studio‑savvy preamp that’s equally at home on a tight pedalboard, a desktop, or riding along as a micro‑sized gig-bag solution.
Designed for power without complexity, the Subway+ Bass DI‑Preamp II features an extended‑range J‑FET preamp that plays beautifully with both active and passive instruments, plus an Input Mute footswitch for silent tuning. A Deep switch adds roundness and low‑end weight, while a Bright switch lends bite and top‑end sparkle. MESA’s award‑winning variable Hi‑Pass Filter (30 Hz–150 Hz) removes headroom‑robbing sub‑sonic content so players can precisely tune their low end to the musical style, ensemble, or venue.
The new Subway+ Bass DI‑Preamp II is now available worldwide at authorized MESA/Boogie dealers, at Gibson Garage locations, and at the MESA/Boogie online store.
