hello, i am looking to get a marshall class 5 combo amp and want to use it live. the only problem is it has a 16 ohm output and i want to use an 8 ohm cab. is there a way to change the marshalls output impedance so i can use an 8 ohm cab? thank you
It would probably be easier to re-wire the speaker cabinet to be 16 ohm, than to modify the amp.
Do you already have a speaker cab that you plan to use with the Marshal? What is it?
I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
So I looked like I was deep
no i dont, i just wanted to rewire it to 8 ohm because my other amp has an 8 ohm out put as well. 16 ohm cabinets are harder to find in the 300-400 price range than 8 ohm also

How are you with a soldering iron, electronic component schematics, and output transformer swaps?
it would probably save time, effort, and money to simply trade in the 8 ohm cab for a 16 ohm cab. Plus , you wouldn't void the warranty on your new amp.
Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
