    "You can always have a higher resistance (16 ohms, for example)
    without damaging results, but too low of a resistance will likely cause problems.
    MIS-MATCHING: When running a higher resistance (for example: 8 ohm output into 16 ohm cabinet), a slightly different feel and
    response will be eminent. A slight mismatch can provide a darker smoother tone with a little less output and attack. This response is
    a result of the amplifier running a bit cooler"
