Thanks for another great review, Ivan. If only this had a variable high-pass filter, too! You could plug your tuner into the through output jack. This box needs a foot-operated mute switch.

Thanks, Paul! If size isn’t a problem, then getting the “+” version for a bit of extra cash is definitely worth it, in my opinion! You get the variable HPF and Mid section, plus a serial loop and some other extra features 💪🏽

Great video Ivan. I first became interested in this pedal after watching your unboxing video. Curious to know if you have used an octave pedal with this DI. It seems that with all of the EQ controls that the Mesa offers, that it would provide a very clear tone for an octave pedal. Thanks!

Thanks, Steven! I haven’t tried this DI with an octave pedal, yet, but I used to own the Mesa D-800+, which is pretty much the same preamp section and I used my Boss OC-2 quite a lot with it! It always sounded great!

Very well laid out examples of what the controls do. I wish more videos were this methodic and helpful. IMHO this thing would be perfect if it had phantom power and a built-in tuner. Then it would be all you'd need for 90% of your gigs

Hey Ivan! Thanks for the video. What are your thoughts about the lack of a cab sim on this pedal? Can you get by without it?

@IvanBassist

4 жыл бұрын

There was no cab sim applied to the signal during mixing and it sounds pretty neat l, if i may say so. A lot of DI’s/preamps don’t have that either, therefore I don’t see it as a problem...unless you use a lot of overdrive/distortion. Then you could put a HPF/LPF or cab sim pedal in front of it to reduce the harshness

Do you need a polarity reversal adapter if running this from an mxr iso brick or something similar?

I would love to own the amp version of the subway. Great stuff

I'm considering buying this wonder. Would this be okay with a practice amp? I have a Fender Rumble 40. Just worrying that the Subway would be too hot and fry my speaker

Hello Ivan can you tell me if this preamp can be pushed to give a tube sounding overdrive. I'm just looking for that little bit of added hair as an overall shaping tool. Love your playing and your informative vids! Thank you!!

The entire industry has supply chain issues, which then cause delivery issues. Add on top that Gibson bought Mesa and the shipping and dealer network still need to be sorted out.
