Hi guys,
I am a new Mesa Boogie amp owner.
The Mark V 25 is an outstanding amp - really love it.
I have a question regarding the user manual.
I read the manual and couldn't understand why it is stated that: "If you have one 4 Ohm cabinet, connect it to the 4 Ohm
SPEAKER Output. This will be a proper impedance match, but you may experience a slightly softer attack characteristic than you
would using a single 8 Ohm Cabinet." - while a couple of sentences before that the manual states that if you have two 8 Ohm cabinets you can daisy chain them (in parallel) and plug them into the 4 Ohm tap.
I mean - daisy chaining two 8 Ohm cabs in parallel is exactly like plugging one 4 Ohm cab to the 4 Ohm tap - so why does the manual states
that in the latter situation there will be a slightly softer attack?
I have a cab loaded with two 8 Ohm V30 which I personally wired in parallel (4 Ohms total) -
would plugging my cab to the 4 Ohm tap result in a softer attack?
Why?
Your interpretation to the user manual will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help here.
