Tip o' the week - Internet Nonsense #2

"If you connect your 8 ohm amp up to a 4 ohm cabinet, you will blow your amp up!"
Not true..... A speaker impedance mismatch of up to 100% (up or down) will not hurt a quality tube amp, so relax and experiment a little. Try two 8-ohm speakers with your Deluxe, or run that tweed Champ through an old 8 ohm P12R and be amazed! I know some pros who deliberately mismatch the speaker/amp impedance because they prefer the tone.
