Is My Amp Ohm Setting Right For My Cab?

Checked the back of my Cabinet and got a bit confused with the Stereo and Mono settings. I only run one speaker cable from one of the amp poweramp outputs to the cabinet so I'm assuming the 8ohm setting on the amp head is correct for my cabinet and application? The stereo section of the text(2X16ohms) is confusing. Would this be if I had another cabinet and wanted to run two of them at the same time? Or if I set the cabinet to "Stereo" then I would need to set the amp output Ohms to 16? How would this work and what would the benefit of stereo over mono be if only using one cabinet? Thanks heaps in advance. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Use the 8 ohm for mono and 16 if you want stereo. Definitely find and read the manual. There will be more info available. I'll assume that if you use the stereo option in the single cab, you can get more of a dimensional sound with anything that's stereo in the fx loop.

At least that's how mine used to work You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I just wanted to make sure I don't damage anything QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ May 7 2021, 06:47 PM) If you want stereo, just switch the button to stereo and it should split the signal and give you stereo in one cab.
