Subway D-800+ Bass Amps with Subway Cabinets
COMPACT POWER - From the 5.5 lb., 800 Watt SUBWAY D-800 or the enhanced SUBWAY D-800+ to the SUBWAY DI Preamp, the SUBWAY Series gives you every opportunity to command any venue from small club to large concert stage...from the pocket of your gig bag! Ultra-Lite cabinets in 1x12, 1x15, 2x10, 2x12, 2x15 and 4x10 stackable formats provide the other half of the SUBWAY Line's magic and musicality.

The SUBWAY D-800 addresses the player who wants enhanced frequency control and an interface for outboard signal processing. The upscale D-800+ preamp features expand upon the acclaimed D-800 by including a comprehensive EQ section with Semi-Parametric sweep-able LOW and HIGH MID Bands, the addition of a BRIGHT switch, an adjustable HIGH-PASS Filter with control from 30Hz to 150 Hz, and on the Rear Panel, a Series Effects Loop, Tuner Output and 1/4" MUTE footswitch jack.

The D-800+ upgrades include an adjustable HIGH-PASS Filter that allows control over the sub-lows in your mix from 30Hz to 150 Hz to achieve the tightest response, most detailed articulation and maximum headroom in an ensemble scenario or large venue application.

Either way you get there, the straight ahead and beautifully simple D-800 or the upscale, fully featured D-800+, the SUBWAYS deliver nuance-rich Tone, stunning power and headroom and a blend of flexibility and portability that would be any Bassist's dream ride to musical inspiration.
