Mesa Subway D-350!

Seems like a good/smart Idea: if you need DI volume better if amp had separate volume control for DI

My experience is that a nominal mic and line level switch works out better in practice. No DI out complaints often can be traced back to di level controls turned all the way down.

Good advice on the 9v adapter - thanks! You get what you pay for in this case (looking at you, Amazon).

Will order, but first it's time for grilling. The meat's already smoked.

I hear you; once I went to play and turned volume up no sound; started troubleshooting then noticed I was turning up DI Level control not Master

But having DI post Master should be a nightmare for FOH Engineer is what I was expressing Pre Master is the smart good Idea

Generally most post eq DI’s are pre-master volume. Yes, there are exceptions but fortunately not many at the pro level where it matters most.

Hello! Been hunting for a head to use with my PJB C8 for a bit now and have been considering the 350. I'm wondering if anyone has any clips with the amp set to overdrive. All the demos I can find on YT are with the input set to 50% or below and I've yet to see that o/d light turn on. I play my Traynor SB115 with a Bass BB Pre set to a hint of grit. Wondering if this can get me into that territory?

Thanks.

I feel the D-350 operates really well at 4 Ohm load.
Wasn't crazy about it with a single C4, but maybe I needed to do more knob twisting or add a second C4. PJB isn't my go to for distortion, but the D-350 has a nice bit of grit available.

Can the feet on the D-350 be removed? I don’t know what they are screwed to inside the steel case.

I would like to use Velcro to mount it flat on a pedalboard.

Yes. Put the feet and screws in a plastic bag so you don’t lose them

Always thinking ahead. I like that in a pilot.

But what to put the plastic bag in so as not to lose IT?

As a joke I was gonna say open up the amp and put the bag in it, but on second thought that's probably not something to say without making it clear that it's only a joke and not what anybody should actually do.

You could exercise some OCD and buy a plastic pill box for misc screws, etc. Keep these in "M" for Mesa ?

They worked wonders keeping organized while dis/re-assembling laptops.

I usually put stuff like that in the side pouch/spare compartment of the amp's carry case/bag.

I prefer to put it in a place so clever and original that not even I can find it.

When I'm good about things like this (which, historically, has not been often), I'll put for-now unused parts in a ziplock bag with a note ("spare mounting bracket - Flux Capacitor") and put that bag in a drawer dedicated to such stuff.

I prefer to put it in a place so clever and original that not even I can find it.

This, though, is my usual approach.

 

[ardgedee]

Since I frequently keep the original boxes for electronics (either because they might be resold someday, or in case they have to be shipped for warranty work), I usually store unused items in a baggie in there.

Your simple question prompted me to launch a discussion thread:

As a long-time Chef's admirer and FB friend, I had to get this amp.

Playing only through headphones tonight. But I like how easy and quick it is to get a good tone out of this tiny head.
Good design and engineering!

Every time you use that bright switch, remember to give a little nod to Chef!
