When I hook up to 16 ohm cabs to an OR120 do I keep the ohm selector at 16 or switch it to 8?

Here's one, how would you hook up a 8 ohm cab and a 16 ohm cab if the output on the back only had 8 or 16?

Ha-ha! Nice!

I used to have that combination hooked up to my 70s OD120. You use the 8ohm or 4ohm selection; whichever sounds best. The problem is you'll have more signal coming out of the 8ohm cab than the 16 ohm cab. Some people would consider that undesired operation.
