Guitar heads

Mesa Boogie Walkabout head

This little brother to the M-Pulse 360 delivers all the same great tone at a size and weight that fits the demands of any bass player who's traveling light and still needs huge sound.

Using Simul-State, Boogie's hybrid tube-driven MOS FET circuitry, this 300 watt power section has all the nuance, definition and punch of the larger M-Pulse formats. And with almost the same headroom as its larger brother, the Walkabout has plenty of power to fill small clubs or coffee-house type venues. It's also fitted with a toneful Balanced Out that's great for grab-n-go studio sessions or for feeding the house board with your live stage sound.

Using the same soulful tube pre-amp as the 360/600, the Walkabout's tried-and- true rotary tone controls feature active Treble and Bass plus a sweet, passive Mid. The scaled-down three-band version of the Parametric Equalizer handles all the crucial frequencies with simple authority -it's everything you need and nothing more.

Weighing in at a mere 6 kilograms, with optionally available rack ears, this 300 watt cigar-box delivers tone that's taking the small-size world by storm. That's because the new Walkabout is the perfect combination of a supremely tuned all-tube pre-amp and a dynamic, hybrid power section at a price that won't weight you down.

Mesa Boogie Big Block

Answering your demands for a rig bad enough to anchor our Recto's wall of gain, here is 750 watts of crushing fundamental. Pure and Mean.

Simplicity rules this front panel. No high-tech overkill between you and fast, fat tone. Straight-ahead circuitry delivers instant attack with massive authority. Just the brutal, potent truth, served up with mighty attitude. Boogie's exclusive Simul-State, technology provides all-tube performance from Input jack right up to the dual MOS-FET power blocks. A classic all-tube tone stack is augmented by an additional Active Mid with a sweepable Frequency control. This lets you zero in on the precise region of attack to let you drive the band where it needs to go.

Big Block features dual MID controls. A wide band PASSIVE MID takes care of overall midrange blend while the semi-parametric ACTIVE MID lets you focus in on specific regions.

A footswitchable all-tube Overdrive, sporting its own dedicated Drive and Master controls, adds a menacing growl to your sound, sinking teeth into the mix. All Tube Overdrive circuit allows a warm range of distortion, from subtle fur to a rebellious grind. Overdrive MASTER gives you a separate volume level for the Overdrive mode. Twin fans cool the dual power blocks arrayed with no less than 20 custom matched MOS-FET output devices. Even these power units are directly driven by one of the 8 tube stages in the Big Block 750. This is Simul-State. Tight and focused, warm and musical. M-Pulse All-Tube Preamp guarantees musical warmth all the way through the tube driver stage. Dual power blocks with dual cooling fans house a battery of 20 custom mosfets! Massive toroidial transformer produces stunning current while reducing noise. For convenience, Tuner outputs are provided front and rear. Rear panel features also include a series Effects Loop and a Slave Out with its own dedicated Level control. Handy Front and Rear Panel Tuner Outputs with Footswitchable Mute Function allows silent tuning during performances. A balanced XLR Direct Out is switchable between Pre and Post and includes a separate Level control and Ground Lift. Quarter inch and Speak-On jacks deliver this massive horsepower to the cabinet(s) of your choice. The massive power of Big Block calls for Heavy Duty 'Speak-On' XLR speaker outputs. Current this big likes a wide road to travel on. Standard ¼ inch are also provided for compatibility with any cabinet.

The heritage of rock bass has been built on vacuum tube tone. The Big Block 750 elevates today's bass performance while paying homage to that great tradition. Here is a menacing new amp that's infused with the percussion, warmth and feel of an all-tube classic while providing double or even triple the output power and at a fraction of the weight.
