Having owned a Dual Recto for almost 20 years, to this day, it surprises me the tones you can get from it. I'd love to get a nice boogie bass amp in the studio just for their tone shaping alone. You'll have a never ending journey of new tonal discoveries.

I agree. You might want to look at their pre-amp boxes as a lower cost option. I've played through those as well and they're nearly equal to the task.

This kits sounding amazing through my crappy little phone speaker . Must be magic standing in front of it .

Fantastic demo, Uriah.

imagine a blend knob to blend both channels.. full blown fuzz or distortion with a tight clean tone.. booooommm!

I like when there's tightness in a big bottom end.

I know I'm late to the party on this one...I watched the video several times, and I still don't understand symmetrical/asymmetrical clipping section. Don't you have to drive the output stage hard enough to get it into clipping before that knob has any effect? Or is the clipping in reference to the input stage clipping instead? In the video, the master volume knobs are barely on..

F😒😒k..... I just got a D800+ why do you do this to me Mesa I’m going to go broke because of you. I need to get me one. Mesa if you ever need to give one away for what ever reason I’d be happy to help you with that lol ( maybe a subway 115 as well). Thank you for the demo. Stay safe guys.

Awesome, now make an all tube version and I'm in!

Exactly, they need to reissue their 80s tube stuff, and start making them handwired with quality parts back here in the usa, idc if they would end up being $1650 for a d180, I'd buy that in 321... as long as it's done right with no ch*nese crap.

How do I connect this to my cabinet….

Can it jump pres? So use both simultaneously to use one as a pre and boost the other?

Great demo. I'm about to order a Subway rig incl TT800 witha 210 & 115 cabs but i do like the look of the 215 cab but cant make my mind up. Not really heard the TT800 with a 215 cab.

Does Mesa offer a bass amp head with ONLY the Boogie channel? I love the sound of the Boogie channel but not the Subway.

Love to get one. Very nice!👍🏻

Great Demo brutha!!!

Love this tone

What everyone is riding off the Nakamoto Kelley Empire bs ha ha I love 💘 it

Looks cool 🤘😎

OMG. Bass 400+ one one channel, Subway D-800+ on the other?? Now I think I want this ever more than the WD-800! Screw it, give me both!!

Definitely going to get either this or the WD-800, but have to A/B them and not sure when that's going to be possible :s

WD sounds a bit sterile

This class d stuff is great, but re release those REAL 1980's tube heads like the d 180 or the bass 400, these class d units sound great, but nothing will compare to those classic tube ones.... make them in the usa, call them the heritage series, use nothing but the best components... no ch*nese capacitors, all United chemicon and spurge caps like you used to use back in the day... Ill gladly fork over $1,500 to $2,550 for a new handwired usa made full tube d180 that looks and sounds exactly like the original or even better. It appears you still use united chemicons for your filter caps in your class d stuff, thats a good sign, though this is no fully blown vintage mesa tube amp, it's still better then 95 percent of whats out there. That's for sure. I still might go for it as its the next best thing.

Anyone thinking this amp will sound like the 400+ will be disappointed. But what's nice is out of the same amp, you can get amp with a fast attack and clarity plus a slower attack rounder sound. Now that they added some preamp tubes to the Subway channel this should helps put a little roundness into this channel as well but not as significant as the Boogie channel. I absolutely loved my 400+, but it was so heavy. As I am getting 20 years older, I just don't want to lug something that heavy around anymore. But I agree it's one of the best sounding amps on the planet

Who else thought of Spinal Tap when he said "Big Bottom?"

The interactive EQ gives you a "warmer, fuller, more bloomy sound". I hoped, by now we'd be over that kind of buzz-word BS. Apparently not. The amp sounds killer though.

Bloom is what happens when amp compression has kicked in upon initial attack, and starts to return to the release point causing notes to expand with character and even a bit of volume as the compression unclamps. It's an actual aural descriptor with a well known meaning among those who are aware of such things.

My buddy just bought a Mesa bass amp head, I told him something new was on the horizon!

Me ensina esse slap ?? 🥺😂

Would love to see that Boogie Channel 01 dropped into its own chassis.

Why all the hate? If you don't like it, click a thumbs down and watch another video. How can you slam the tone based on one (1) video when everyone knows demo videos never really sound that great. You can't write off an amp without playing it yourself.

Disagree. First, they sell like crazy. I love them but I don't like grind either First if you've every played bass through a large enough system, the foh engineer is applying HPF to you bass and its probaby doing thorugh class D. If you like to push alot of 60-80hz this hpf can help you create an asymmetric filters and save the speaker. . My d800+ has way more heft than my other amps, but at the end of the day these are just stage monitors.

@GPR100

If HPF is a gimmick, why is it built into the vast majority of bass amps? Not knowing it's there in other amps due to a lack of variable control doesn't make it a gimmick. And if you use one in a room, you understand how useful it is. Also, these are far from GB clones - coming from someone who has played both. In any case, sounds like you should stop whining and find another brand if the product development makes you this upset.
