Hi, I just bought a TA-30 head which I love!
I already had a Marshall 1960a 4x12 cab and have decided to use this with the TA-30 for now.
I have no complaints about the tones I can get out the the Mesa - they are insane - and they sound amazing out of the Marshall cabinet too. What I'm curious about the the head --> cabinet OHM configuration. I'm going 4 OHM out of the amp into the cab at 4 OHM mono. From reading the TA-30 manual it sounds like I could possibly use the 8 OHM out into the 16 OHM mono input on the cab. Before trying this I'd like to know if (a) this is a bad idea, and (b) what the difference might be. According to the Marshall manual I should always match the impedance (eg. 4 to 4, not 8 to 16).
Can anyone enlighten me on on this? Thanks.
