I’ve been running my AD15 at 8ohms!!

:oops: :oops: :oops:

Just went to plug an extension speaker into my AD15 (16ohm cab w/2x12 V30) and discovered in horror I accidentally had the internal 16ohm V30 plugged into the 8ohm ext cab socket! (The AD15 has two unlabelled speaker sockets that require some contortion to access. One is 16ohm for the stock speaker and the other, for an extension cab, is 8.) I’ve obviously been running it this way since the last time I mucked around with an extension cab, probably a month or two ago. :oops:

What damage, if any, was I doing to the transformer?

If it still works and sounds normal, you’re most likely fine.
