Ohm question on Marshall VS8100 !!!

[Heabow]

What's up?

I just bought a Valvestate 8100 and realized that it has two 4ohm outputs only. I work with a load box and IRs and I have to use 8ohm output. As a perfect noob regarding ohm stuff, I'd like to get confirmation from experts...

If I use only ONE output, it's in 8ohm, right?
It's in 4ohm only if I use TWO outputs?

Can't wait to play on this Marshall again!

You're safe running it's 4 ohm out into 4/8/16 ohm cabs. Just don't run it into 2 ohm.

Ok. So in other words, I can plug one of the 4ohm outputs into my loadbox that needs an 8ohm amp output? Sorry but I'm a little bit afraid about this shit, don't want to destroy anything.

It'll be fine.

Thank you man!!

You don't have to use a loadbox with it, just run it straight from the fx loop send to your interface and you'll be fine because it's solid state, I do it all the time with my 8100

A solid state amplifier is fine with no load attached.
