can anyone varify if this is true? i know my bandmaster is 4ohm output, which is why i wired my cab in parallel (2 x 8ohm) to reduce it from 16 to 4 to match it. however this week i'm picking up a second head and can't afford another cab right away. but if i could rewire it back to 16ohm i could use both heads safely?
