Mesa boogie Mpulse

[Necronomiconor]

Hi guys!
First time posting here, recently picked myself up a Mesa Mpulse 600! Can't wait to play it, only problem is my country (Ireland) is still in lockdown due to the covid pandemic and I have no access to my cabinet. Can I play this head without a cabinet connected to it without causing damage? I know the preamp has 2 tubes and I read online that it is safe to play without it being connect to a cab but I don't want to take the risk and damage it.
Thanks!

Welcome to TB!
The M-Pulse line are hybrid amplifiers, with a tube preamp and a solid state power section. All solid state amps are safe to operate without a speaker attached.
But this amp doesn't have a headphone output so how are you going to hear it without a speaker?

it will be fine without a cabinet. I had one a number of years ago and it was a very nice amp with some cool features. Solo control is nice, the built in Comp is very high quality and the DI sounded great.

enjoy!
