The Subway Bass DI PreAmp is the Pre-Amp section from the hugely successful Subway D 800 Head built into a compact package that’s small enough to fit in the pouch of a Gig Bag or even on a pedal board.
It means that whether plugging direct into a recording desk, an existing bass rig or a live PA, Bass players never need to be without killer tone, warmth and dynamics again.
Carefully tuned and refined, the Subway Bass DI is the ultimate solution for anyone who doesn’t always need to use a full bass rig both in recording and live situations.
Just like the D800, all the practical features are there without sacrificing flexibility or adding too many controls.
Connectivity is taken care of with dual balanced XLR outputs and an unbalanced 6.35mm (¼”) jack. The Post/Pre EQ switch ensures maximum versatility and ground lifts for each balanced output keep your signal clean and pristine – free of any pesky ground hum.
Of course the DI section is a premium quality studio grade design which captures all of the nuances and tonality of the pre-amp and routes it to wherever you want it.
