Running incorrect Ohms question
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2018 6:59 pm
So I understand that running a 16 ohm head into an 8 ohm cab is a bad idea. But what about running a 16 ohm head on the 8 ohm option into a 16 ohm cab?

It was more just a theoretical question. I noticed the inputs and thought, would that harm it? I couldn't find any results on any forums that asked that question.
