A few other Mesa/Boogie tidbits: the Titan V-12 and Walkabout now come in black. Also – there’s an urban myth we’d like to mark as TRUE. In case you didn’t know, Mesa’s Scout line of combos mates the mini-sized Walkabout head with one of two lightweight, neo-loaded cabinets - one featuring a 12” driver and 8” passive radiator, and the other offering a 15” driver plus 10” passive radiator. Mesa/Boogie also makes both variants as Scout Extension cabinets to add to either combo. But get this – when Randall was out picking grapes, the elves of Petaluma swapped out the passive radiators in each of the extension cabs for the next size up. So the 12” Scout Extension gets the 10” passive radiator and the 15” variant gets a 12’er. When you add in the extra internal volume each extension cabinet has (due to the missing head), you effectively have a completely new stealth Mesa Cabinet. Reports are that these stand-alone extension cabs have a fuller and bigger sound, while retaining an easy-to-grab size and weight. Rest assured, we’re going to try them out firsthand, just to be sure.
