Mesa Walkabout plus Power amp??

Yes, you can. You'd use the FX loop to send the preamp to an external power amp. How it would sound would depend on what power amp you'r using, but theoretically a power amp should be transparent.

Why do you think you need more power?

 

Honestly, the MOSFET power section is part of the tone to me. It doesn't "react" to your playing to the extent that tubes do, but it reacts quite a bit.

What kind of cabs are you playing through????

I have played mine through ONE Epifani UL410 and it kills small animals at close distances. What kind of volume do you need???

 

No, in this specific case it will not sound the same. There is a lot of mojo that happens in the WA power amp, it was never intended to be transparent and is in fact quite "voiced".

 

Do a search for the Walkabout head at 2 ohms. It is discussed at great length here. The original manual said it would do 2 and it was changed for later production runs. Mine is part of a Walkabout Scout stack that is two 4 ohm cabs (making it a 2 ohm load). I have run it that way for several years with zero issues. In my view, the Walkabout head KILLS at 2 ohms. It gets ridiculously loud.

This awful pic doesn't do it justice. It's a really sharp wine color and looks great on stage.

 

Lol they caught me with my pants down!

I should have been more specific, which is to say external power amps (such as the pro audio rack mount stuff) is supposed to be transparent.
