Well there ya go. Obviously my search engine ain't worth a pinch of you know what.

My favorite feature which is on a few Subway Amps and the di's... is the voicing knob. What pedals have just this feature or type of feature?, I would love a Mesa voicing only pedal.

The Jad Freer Capo has a knob that blends between two different vibes.

That was one of my issues with the SBMMs: the roasted maple necks were "well done".

I love the dark roasted neck... have a Reverend guitar that has the same. Just need bright side dots on them...

I'm gigging this weekend and fighting off a bad cold, but I'm going to do a video same as the 112, but with the 115, then the 210....live through the air to the phone, same settings same gear, just to document each of the 3 cabs...thanks guys for listening..

So I've no doubt said this before but, as much as I enjoy the big sound I get out of my Mesa combo amp (yes I call it a combo amp )



I've been really enjoying the little sounds I can dial in that reminds me of this sort of stuff...



I like how with all the controls like HPF, damping, and passive mids I can get these old school low wattage tube amp, small speaker sounds out of it. Great recording tool!

That trio is my most used controls

Yup
I got the amp because of the tube front end and the 3 band mids cause the 3 band formats had been my jam. The damping and HPF intrigued me. I dig all of it but have been only using the 3 band as an alternative voice so not an always-on thing for a while and just using what's left as a natural basic voice. Something I didn't think I would do at first with this. Then the ohm switching deal that can augment the power amp response is a nice thing.

Real-world-wise, your "combo" can handle most situations! Any kids that get to start playing using these Subway rigs are luckier than most of them will ever realize. I'll never forget finally deciding to sell my Peavey Combo 300 to avoid an inevitable back injury.

I used the ole 300 combo with a black widow 15, that was a awesome amp, had the crossover out and great tone overall but my God i remember the weight on those 2am gigs on long island in the winter with ice on the paths..

I almost kept mine to modify, that was the decision struggle, the cabinet was built to easily accept the 400bh series Mark iii head with giant heat sinks and the graphic eq, just shorten the grill assembly mainly. That would have been the cool 300 combo mod using Peavey factory semi-era parts. That head has the toggles that closely match the original T40 bass toggles. Pic is five 15" cabs and the 300 combo but the camera distorted the dimensions.

Maybe someone else will build it someday, I've moved on to Mesa Subway.

I had a Peavey Databass. That rascal was heavy too. I am fortunate in that my back is okay. I had some really heavy gear years back. I used to love the Eden 210XLT but that cab was 58 pounds. Now my Aguilar GS112's are the heaviest I own and they are 42 pounds. I love the SW115's. Awesome cabs.

Peavey TnT 100 or 150 here!!

Yes
I've had to take 3 times the equipment to get just the volume of my Mesa rig. That's just for volume, the tone would still not be there as it is in the Subway gear.

That Data Bass seemed like the ultimate Peavey offering of a Combo in that general era, wanted to try one but never did, and now Mesa is it for me.

Been toying with the idea of building a WD800 Combo, still hoping Mesa does it instead, and spending time with the WD using a single SW112. While it's obvious for me that the SW115 is "THE CAB," the SW112 modified as a combo with the WD800 would serve for portability and stack nicely on other Subway cabs to cover additiional sonic territory.

Ditto! My usual TT-->1-15 + 1-15 rig is definitely the mouse that roared...

FYI. The WD800 fits inside a Scout combo cab with minimal modifications.

Just don't setup Combo you or Mesa where you have to turn it upside-down or get on your back on the floor with a Flashlight to hook in power cord, DI, tuner out and effects loop

Yup, would just add cabinetry on top of my current SW112 with the WD facing forward as usual, and to save time would likely part out another SW112 for the wood in order to achieve an accurate/fast follow through of the cabinetry, and then...

(Please pardon the pun: )As someone that ran their own upholstery shop, I believe I'd have the upholstery part of the program covered.

But wish Mesa would just sell these to us instead.
