Here’s a first gig report with the Subway preamp DI 2. Pristine signal to FOH. No noise of any kind other than what you want to hear. The voicing knob is very handy for quick alterations to tone. I went from old school scoop sound to more modern (stronger mids) all night. This is a country gig...

My setup for tonight. Sounds killer through subs.

All the origin stuff is great. They are basically amp sims of SVT, B15 and Fender Bassman with the accompanying cab sim depending on what you choose.

Here it is on my board. It’s a pedalboard nano + if anyone is concerned with size.

I am new to Mesa gear as well. I just got in a d800 amp and this new preamp pedal. Previous I have been playing Ampeg and more recently MarkBass rigs. To me, the Mesa is way more punchy and forward and this is through a MarkBass cab. It’s feels like the notes are carrying more sonic...

That is much better. Thank you! Now I can really play around with it.

Ok new pedal and new amp are in! First of all, I absolutely love the d800. The mid EQ points feel just dead on what what I want to do with them. I played for a couple hours with a couple of p basses (flats/rounds) and with a stingray 5hh. I absolutely love everthing through this amp. The...

Ok so I lied. I had every intention of just getting the Mesa pre and using it for all my IEM gigs and not breaking down and buying an actual Mesa Subway amp, then I saw a great deal on a D800 so I have that coming now too. You guys are bad influences. Going to just run it with a MarkBass 102p...

I bought one through Access Cases on Black Friday for under $200. It’s a solid case with good padding. I don’t use it much because it’s heavy with 2 basses in it but it is convenient when I have to take 2 to a gig.

Great to hear Al! I should have it by the middle of this week and I have a gig this weekend to give it a workout.

Thank you for making this pedal. I have been Mesa curious for a while now but both bands I play with are fully silent stage/IEM. It was hard to justify buying a new bass amp and of course I would have to buy a matching cab, when I don’t actually use one for a majority of my playing. Just placed...

I also choose flatwounds mostly based on silk color and the color of my bass.

Love the gruv gear neo. Really helps with a hefty L-2500.

I just put a Nordstrand NP5FA in my Miami Blue P5 with maple. It has greatly improved the B string and opened up some string options for me. My favorite rounds are DR Lo Rider Nickels and my favorite flat are the Chromes. I’m waiting on the Chromes to break in a little more but it’s a great...

I sent a message to EMG asking about this earlier this week. I was informed that they now come with a 0.047 cap.
