Mesa Boogie Subway TT-800 Bass Amplifier Head - 800W

The Mesa Boogie Subway TT-800 Bass Amp Head is a professional-grade amplifier designed for bassists who need versatility, power, and premium tone in a compact and portable unit. Delivering 800 watts of Class D power, the TT-800 combines the warmth and character of a traditional all-tube preamp with the precision and reliability of modern amplifier technology. This amp head is built to meet the demands of studio recording, live performance, and touring musicians who need consistent tone and flexibility across different playing environments.

The TT-800 features two fully independent channels - Boogie and Subway - each offering distinct tonal characteristics. The Boogie channel recreates the classic sound of the iconic Bass 400+, known for its rich, full-bodied warmth and organic tube dynamics. Enhancements such as a semi-parametric mid control and a built-in high-pass filter make it even more adaptable to modern playing styles. The Subway channel delivers a clean, articulate, and fast response with tight low-end definition and crystal-clear highs, now complemented by its own tube preamp. Players can switch between channels using an optional footswitch, making it easy to alternate between vintage-inspired tones and modern precision during a performance.

Each channel includes its own effects loop, allowing bassists to apply independent signal processing or integrate external preamps and modellers. This design ensures maximum flexibility for both live and studio use, enabling unique setups such as blending two instruments through one amplifier or tailoring effects to specific tonal profiles.

The TT-800 also offers several tone-shaping tools that make it easy to adapt to different rooms, styles, and instruments. The DEEP and BRIGHT switches allow players to fine-tune low-end resonance and high-frequency presence, ideal for genres ranging from reggae to funk to modern rock. Global GAIN switching lets users control the amp’s overall headroom and response, from clean and open to aggressive and driven. The Overdrive SYMMETRY control further refines the harmonic character, offering tighter, more controlled tones or a looser, more tube-like overdrive as desired.

Compact, lightweight, and engineered for reliability, the Mesa Boogie Subway TT-800 delivers professional-grade sound and performance without compromise. Whether used on stage, in the studio, or on the road, it provides bass players with a complete tonal toolkit in one powerful, portable package.
