Mesa/Boogie Walk About Bass Amplifier Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
OVERVIEW:
Congratulations on your choice of the
M-Pulse WalkAbout
Bass Amplifier! This compact and powerful little brother to the
M-Pulse
600
and
360
delivers all the tone and most of the features in a package thats bound for the open road.
At the heart of this giant killer is a robust 300 watt
Simul-State
power section that will handle most clubs and smaller venues with
surprising headroom. This tube driven mosfet design combines the best qualities of both tube and solid state technology to achieve a
lightweight, reliable platform that is supremely musical. This toneful power is metered out with the MASTER control, and can be used
to drive any two speaker cabinets via the two SPEAKER OUTPUT jacks, with a combined overall load of 4 Ohms being the preferred
impedance. Should you find yourself in larger venues, an XLR Balanced Direct output with a convenient Front Panel DI LEVEL control
enables you to send your choice of pre or post signals to the board for Front Of House reinforcement.
The
WalkAbout
Preamp is a four stage, all-tube, finely-tuned instrument of shaping power for bass. The signal path begins with the
Input jacks and both ACTIVE and PASSIVE instruments have been provided for with a dedicated jack. The front end GAIN control
determines the amount and color of preamp signal and/or drive you wish to push through the rotary Tone Controls. Active shelving
