Speaker output to use on DR with 2 power tubes pulled?

[jschiestel]

I have pulled the 2 centre power tubes and one of the rectifier tubes in my Dual Recto. I thought I read on here that you should use different speaker outputs than you would if all tubes were there, but the manual doesn't say anything about it.

I am using a Standard Recto cab. Should I be using the 8 ohm jack? Or should I be using a different one because I'm running at half power?

You should plug your 8 ohm cabinet into the 4 ohm jack with 2 tubes pulled.

Will playing with the cab hooked up to the 8 ohm jack do any harm to the amp or speakers? I think this is how I've had it hooked up for the last couple band practices (we just moved to a new practice space, and I couldn't remember how it was hooked up before.)

Dom has it right. I wouldn't continue playing it until you make the proper configuration change.
