Clarky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 [quote name='Beedster' post='824688' date='May 1 2010, 11:22 AM']LOL, fair point mate! It's got a bit stupid recently as the band I joined and upgraded to didn't work out so I'm left with gear that's too loud and too big! As you'd expect, there's a new thread in Amps and Cabs For Sale! I was going to buy this when Pete first listed it about 2 months back but I'd just auditioned for the loud band and I had serious concerns as to whether it would keep up. It's probably worked out a little expensive all things considered, but I think I've got there in the end. Am I correct in thinking your combo/extension cab is 4ohm? Does the head run OK at 2?

Clarky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Oops, hamfisted there. No problems running at 2 with extension cab. WoT said that on the Mesa site this has been discussed and noone has had any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may use a cabinet (s) of a higher rating safely (8 Ohm) with no degradation in tone, however the amplifi er will not produce its full rated wattage. [b]Minimum load rating is 2 Ohms and while the WalkAbout will handle this lower load condition - and in fact produce more than its rated power, it is not recommended. Prolonged use of a 2 Ohm load will cause the power mosfets to run hot causing the protection circuit to trigger and mute the output signal until such time as the mosfets can return to a safe operating temperature. Avoid using 2 Ohm loads whenever possible.[/b][/quote] However, on TB people always seem to say the 2 ohms is fine - just don't run it flat out for hours at 2 ohms.

I really would like to take it off your hands - unfortunately I need to (1) raise the cash and (2) find an excuse for Mrs ET. (1) is not necessarily impossible but (2) is affected by the phrase 'No More' which occurred when I arrived home with Chris's 62P. Mind you, the US Deluxe P has since left the building. It's made worse by my son also having four guitars, a mandolin, a banjo, and a Laney combo. Mrs ET says there is no room for her shoes. Unfortunately, she's correct.
