got a gibson goldtone ga-15rv i6 ohmn output, have a marshall 2x12 8 ohmn mono or 16 ohmn stereo, i a have heard you can ususally go either up or down 1 time with ohmns, 8 to 16, or 16 to 8, any truth to this or will i fry my amp? thanks
Depends on the amp. Old fender amps are/were pretty tolerant of a 100% mismatch. IE...8 seeing 4 or 16. But your gibson mileage may vary. In any case...best to get it correct and be safe. Then you can hook up and :dance: around and do the :banana: thing too and not worry about your amp giving you :fing25: and blowing up making you go:smack: and :yell: .
