Taking 2 tubes out / output Ohms question

Post by Emetal »

OK I just wanna clarify something here. If I have a 4 output tubes amp, and I take 2 tubes out, then the output jacks on the back of the amp will be as follows:
- 4 Ohms jack is becoming 8 Ohms
- 8 Ohms jack is becoming 16 Ohms
- 16 Ohms jack is becoming 32 Ohms

Basically my 8 Ohms cabinet needs to be plugged into 4 Ohms output jack on back of the amp.

Is this correct?
