Dumb Question

If I am pluged into my speaker cab, is it OK to unplug the speaker in my amp and just run the speakers in the cab?

As long as you retain the same impedence match that your amp normally sees,you'll be ok...Just don't mismatch the impedence and especially don't let your amp see a lower impedence...

Thanks Buddy

I have two 8ohms in sequense so that is supposed to be 16ohms. I just tried it Wow it sounds so much smoother without that Blue Marvel amazing with and without your pedal.

Cool Lou..

Remember this Lou...2 speakers in series doubles the impedence...So two 8 ohm speakers gives you a total 16 ohm load...

2 speakers in parallel is half the total of both speakers..If we use the two 8 own speakers again,then you now have 4 ohms load...

You can allow your amp to see a larger impedence load(And mismatch) but you never want your amp to see less load than what it's rated for...In other words,if your amp's lowest impedence is rated for 4 ohms,be sure to retain 4 ohms or more...The more difference or mismatch you put between your amp and your speakers,the more output you lose and also an overall loss in tone..It's always best to match the amp and speakers the same though...You already know all this Lou,but maybe others can benefit from this info.. :burnout:

There's also series/parallel but we won't talk about that right now because it's not needed..
