The Subway Rocket is a compact Mesa/Boogie combo from the 1990s, about 20 watts, sold alongside the Subway Blues. Rhythm and Lead channels share one treble, middle and bass stack; Rhythm has its own gain and master, while Lead adds an extra 12AX7 gain stage with Lead Gain and its own master. A footswitchable EQ Contour circuit, an effects loop with mix, a record/headphone output and a presence control complete it, driving two fixed-bias EL84s.
