I read up on the Express manual and scoured the search results, but I haven't found a definitive answer. I was wondering if someone on the board can help me out.
I have an Express 5:50 Plus combo (1x12). I want to run a 4 ohm expansion cabinet (two 8 ohm speakers running in parallel) along with the 8 ohm combo speaker.
When I hook up the 4 ohm expansion cabinet to either of the 4 ohm speaker jacks along with the combo speaker the tone becomes noticeably darker and bass-ier. From what I've read, this is due to the amp running cooler and not pushing as hard.
"Mis-matching - When running a higher resistance (for example: 8 ohm output into 16 ohm cabinet), a slightly different feel and response may be noticed. A slight mismatch can provide a darker smoother tone with a little less output and attack. This response is a result of the amplifier running a bit cooler. "
Is it possible to connect both a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm load onto the amp at the same time while avoiding the issue of the darker tone?
