Mesa TT800

My Mesa Subway rig (D800+,1x15 cab + 2x10 cab).

I have a D800+ and I think it sounds fantastic for classic rock and funk (I don't play country so I can't comment on that). I also have a TT800, and I think the D800+ has more lows/low mids and less mids/high mids, a quicker response and a better slap tone, if that matters to you. BTW, If you...

Check out the Eich BC212. You can hear it in this video (5:20):

I've got a cool idea for a new Subway cab: My idea is a cab that looks like the Roland CUBE Street EX in the picture above, but with a flat top so you can put an amp on it. A cab like this can be perfect for home practice, small gigs/ big gigs when you just need a good sounding stage monitor...

I also think about ordering the footswitch. Does it need batteries to operate?

There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, many professional studios record bass this way.

I see a lot of people here want a Boogie channel only head, but the main reason I'm considering buying this amp is that it has two channels. I think there are many uses for two channels (OD/clean, vintage/modern, DB/EB, etc), and I hope to see more multi-channel bass amps from Mesa in the future.

Most of the time I keep mine between 8:00 and 9:00 (I usually use a Subway 210+115 or 210+2x115 stack).

I own a Mesa D800+ and I absolutely love it. That's being said, it sounds to me like you prefer the "Ampeg signature tone". I have a kemper profiler and the Ampeg profiles sound very different than my D800+ no matter how I tweak it. Personally, I prefer the tone of my Mesa (which is darker and...

Yep, this is exactly like the Subway 210+115. The 115 gives heft to your tone and the 2x10 adds more punch and clarity.

I own 3 Subway cabs - 210 and 2x115, and the D800+ head. When I use 2 cabs I prefer the combination of 210+115 over 2x115. Don't get me wrong, 2x115 sounds great, but 210+115 gives my tone more "bite" and clarity which I really like.

I think the HPF and the bright switch are worth the higher price tag. I almost always use the HPF on my 800+ to some extent.

My D800+ and Subway 1x15 sounds great with any OD and distortion pedals.
