{"product_id":"mesa-boogie-subway-bass-di","title":"Mesa Boogie Subway+ Bass DI-Preamp II","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Interstellar Tone Traveler knows that great bass tone doesn't live in size — it lives in architecture, and Mesa Boogie has been building some of the finest tonal architecture in the known universe for decades. The Subway+ Bass DI-Preamp II is the culmination of everything Mesa learned engineering the legendary Subway D-800, D-800+, and D-350 bass amplifiers, distilled into their most compact preamp format yet — 35% smaller than the original Subway pedals, and somehow packing even more firepower into the frame. A J-FET preamp handles active and passive basses with equal authority, while the fully active 4-band Baxandall EQ — with sweepable Low-Mid and High-Mid frequency controls — gives you the kind of surgical tone shaping typically reserved for full rack systems. The Variable Voicing control alone is worth the price of admission, sweeping from a flat, modern response all the way to a vintage scoop character with a single knob. Add the Variable Hi-Pass filter for precise sub-sonic control, Deep and Bright switches for instant low and high-end enhancement, and a footswitchable Boost with its own level control, and you have a complete professional preamp that fits in your gig bag's accessory pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat separates the Subway+ DI-Preamp II from the rest of the constellation is its total flexibility as a tool for any mission. At home it becomes a full practice station — plug in headphones, connect an Aux source, and play along without disturbing anyone in the surrounding galaxy. In the studio, the balanced XLR DI output with pre\/post EQ switching and ground lift sends iconic Mesa tone straight to the interface with zero compromise. On stage, the preamp outputs — switchable between unbalanced TS and balanced TRS — drive any professional amp to full output, while the Mute footswitch enables silent tuning between songs. It runs on 9-18V DC in either polarity, plays nicely with any standard pedalboard power supply, and delivers world-class Mesa tone wherever the mission takes you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWorld-class MESA tone and quality in our most compact Bass Preamp to date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePro tone-shaping features, yet simple, intuitive operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePreamp derived from the renowned Subway D-350, D-800, D-800+ Bass Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePreamp Features Include:\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInstrument Input (Active or Passive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInput Level Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBoost Footswitch with Variable Boost Level Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDeep Switch (enhances low-end)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBright Switch (enhances top-end)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVariable Voicing Control (Flat to Vintage Scoop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVariable Hi-Pass Filter Control (30Hz to 150Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFully Active 4-Band EQ Controls (+\/- 12dB of Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid \u0026amp; Treble) with Sweepable (variable) Low-Mid (150Hz-1800Hz) \u0026amp; High-Mid (300Hz-5000Hz) Frequency Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaster Output Level Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMute Footswitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAux Input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHeadphone Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLine Level Preamp Outputs (Unbalanced or Balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBalanced XLR Direct Mic Level Out with Pre\/Post \u0026amp; Ground Lift Switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePowered by DC, 9-18 volts, either polarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGreat for silent\/live practicing, recording sessions, and touring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompact size: 2.25\" (57mm) H x 6\" (152mm) W x 4.25\" (108mm) D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mesa\/Boogie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52450041725112,"sku":"FP.SBDI","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/MesaboogieSubwayplusbassdi-preampII_0000_FP.DI800PLUS-front.jpg?v=1776267200","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/mesa-boogie-subway-bass-di","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
