Mike Martin’s Notes

Hey Guys,I’ve been a bit lazy when it comes to learning everyting that there is to know about amplifiers, voltage, resistance, etc. I’ve lived, worked (and played!) by the “Keep It Simple Stupid!” rule. So I only use matched Ohms on cabinets if I pair 2 of them with a single head that allows for switching the Ohm rating coming out of the amp. I have only been in a few situations where the need for pairing mismatched Ohms has raised the question of how not to blow up my amp! One of those days is today. So I decided to use the internet (a very popular source of information!) and learn the rule (at least as far as it concern guitar amps and cabs) once and for all. I discovered the following website and I have to say that I’m impressed with their ability to get a dummy like me to understand it! So I wanted to pass this along for anyone here who might have run up on this question themselves.http://www.legendarytones.com/ohms.html Now go play some guitar!
