So I have been looking for a Subway+ Preamp but all the online retailers ive lokked at (Sweetwater, Zzounds, Guitar Center) all show as no longer available. Has this been discontinued??

Yes, they have both been discontinued but they are still in stock at some of our retailers.

I've been waiting for availability in Europe but now I may never be able to get one. Is there a replacement pedal in the works?
..begs the question why...in a "normal" world, disappointing sales or an imminent replacement would be the logical answers, but in '22 I can't help but wonder if parts are scarce and better used by Mesa to build their integrated heads??
What drove that decision? The preamp pedal is/was pretty great!

Wow, I’m thankful I bought mine just a few months ago. My Subway + is the best preamp I’ve ever owned by a mile.

Not necessarily, so far Gibson has been a significant positive IMO.
That stinks. I picked up a subway + di for my big board. Might grab a subway di for my small board. Best preamp pedal I've used to date.
The plus is a really well thought out preamp pedal. The feature set, easy power requirements and overall sound quality were all impressive, and at a price point that is quite reasonable.
My only complaint was I would’ve liked if the gain control would’ve ventured into some mild overdrive.
A night owl Edison in front was my solution, yum.
Hope they have something new in the works.

I'm sure the Subway preamp pedal was great-- but I'd bet a preamp pedal version of the WD or TT amps would fly!
If they made a TT preamp, they’d have my money immediately.
Interesting decision by Mesa but if they are working on TT800 Pedal Pre well......
Seems like some top notch company's are now offering 'Pedal Sized' preamps for many reason's. Almost flooding the Market.
Bergantino, Aguliar, Ashdown, Orange, Markbass, Trickfish, Genzler [sort of] along with usual suspects
Nobel, Origin, Arkham, Radial, Darkglass, Broughton, Sansamp and a few more I can't think of at this moment.
I am sure there is a reason[lack of interest?] but it is perplexing were not seeing more quality 'Active' Powered[not just powered] Bass Cabinets from popular manufacture's
Maybe add active/passive switch
