With all the new amps coming out, I start lusting for them. Then I remember that I have a Walkabout and move onto something else.

More or less "the holy grail" for that model....

|  | Registered User | | | | | Speaking of knobs, the black face amps with the J bass style knobs will not work on the silver face amps. In fact I couldn't find any knobs that I liked that would fit due to the shortish pot shaft exposure.
I carefully put a drop of flourescent orange paint on the tiny little indentations so that one could actually SEE the stupid settings. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: NY/NJ Metro Area | | | Hey guys - what other Mesa head sounds the closest to the Walkabout but with more power? Looking for something to with more power/headroom, but the same overall tone.
Thanks!
EDIT - or better question, major differences between the Mpulse 600 and 750 Big Block ?

And definitely, I have found this amp to be much more P than J voiced, though I confess I'm still pretty new to semi-para EQs.
Everytime I flip the power switch on this amp I can't help but smile.
