I know how to use the two 8ohm jacks for double 16ohm inputs, but is there any way I can run the 16ohm and 8ohm simultaneously?

DSL 100 into EVH 4X12 16ohm and Friedman 2x12 8ohm possible?

The 8ohm cab goes into the 4ohm output, this is 1/2 load for the output transformer. The 16ohm cab goes into one of the 8ohm outputs, another 1/2 load. Gives you the right impedance match. This is how I'm running my DSL40CR with the internal speaker into the 8ohm output and the external 2x12 8ohm cab into the 4ohm output. It's well documented on marshallforum.

Running as such you can expect a slightly darker tone and softer attack than you would get running an evenly matched setup. (if all the settings were exactly the same both ways)

Yes, the manual for my Mesa states that the amp isn't harmed at all by mismatched impedance.Administrator of the SDUGF

Mincer Mesas are fine with mismatched impedances, but that is different than using multiple taps off the output transformer. Some Fender heads just had High, Medium, and Low instead of actual impedances on the speaker out settings.
