I am planning on buying a Mesa Studio Preamp and running it into my JCM800 clone. Should I just plug the main out of the preamp into the input of the 800? The amp has no effects loop.

That will probably sound pretty bad. You really need an Effects Loop for it to work correctly...

Try it, I used an MP2 into a Fender Blues Deluxe for ages that way. Just make sure to go lightly on the volume at first. A low gain amp would be better for this, though.
That mesa preamp can be resold very quickly so there is no risk involved there.
