Mesa Boogie Subway D-350
Mesa Boogie · amplifier
The Mesa Boogie Subway D-350 is an ultra-compact, 350-watt Class D bass amp head weighing just over three pounds, making it one of the lightest bass heads Mesa has ever built. It pairs a solid-state preamp with a lightweight Class D power amp and switch-mode power supply, and includes a Bright switch for tonal shaping, but omits the cooling fan found on the larger D-800, relying on passive cooling given its lower power draw.
