Mark V 8ohm Out into 4ohm split on Mesa Cab

[MesaGod666]

The roadies messed up by putting the output of the amp (8ohms) into the 4ohm split into the cab. Played the whole show (1.5 hours). Is this going to mess up my Mark V head?

Probably not.
Duct tape. You could:
A) Cover any holes designated for non-use
or
B) Hog-tie roadies before committing them to the freezer in the garage.

Everything I've read about Mesa's transformers is that they design them to not be too sensitive to cab impedance.

I use coloured tape on all my jacks with matching colours on the patch cables in an effort to make things as obvious as possible.

Thanks MrMarkIII and screamingdaisy! This isn't the first time this has happened. I will certainly take your advice. I was ready to go out and throw down some more cash on another Mark V just in case.

Another quick question, it wouldn't damage the speakers in the cab would it?

Don't worry.
