Mesa Boogie Subway D-800+ Head Reviews

Pretty Good!

I play in cover bands, rock and pop and some funk. I use it through 2 x Barefaced big baby II cabs.

It sounds good, especially in the rock setting. The bright switch is useful and the deep switch can be useful. The EQ section is powerful due to 2 x semiparametric midrange controls.

It's rated at 800 watts at 4 Ohms - Though it is loud, I am limiting against a loud rock drummer. I cab on its own (400watts at 8 Ohms) leaves it struggling against a loud guitarist. My Gallien Krueger MB800 fusion is way louder and does not seem to run out of headroom.

The soft case it comes with is pretty flimsy and not worth using.

I like it, it sounds good but I would say it needs to be run at 4 Ohms to compete with your average (i.e. Loud ) guitarist/drummers.
