    Mesa Boogie Subway Rocket 1x12 ComboPublished on 01/30/08 at 09:22
    Tube amplification of around 20 watts
    10" speaker
    All possible connections: 2 speaker outputs at 4 and 8 ohms
    Headphones output, effects loop with volume level
    Reverb or presence
    Bass, middle, treble

    UTILIZATION

    Many tone possibilities
    The bass, middle, treble controls are "interactive" and each affects the volume of the other two
    It's easy to get sounds out of it

    SOUNDS

    The 10" speaker renders a mids-heavy sound, obviously
    It's impossible to get the roundness and warmth of an amp with a 12" speaker.
    Nevertheless, the speaker is fine and reproduces your playing very faithfully

    Nevertheless, the speaker is fine and reproduces your playing very faithfully
    Rock sounds mainly
    The distortion channel is very good, so the 10" speaker is less of a worry there
    And finally, the boost (only on the distortion channel) is very melodious.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The subway rocket is a very good compromise for a home-studio thanks to its multiple possibilities and all the connections.
    It's a bit light for rehearsals, especially the clean sound
    For live gigs, it needs a PA system
    The 10" speaker lacks roundness, as I've said before.
    You can find it for about $650-$800, which is OK.
    Personally, I'm not a big fan of its basic sound.
    I use it as a second amp mostly, to complete its basic sound.
