Title: Impedence Selector Switch - Line Impedence Values?
Post by: Tbone55 on April 13, 2019, 08:30:34 pm

I hope this isn't a dumb question but what are the impedance values for each line output for the impedance selector switch that Doug carries? I clicked on the link for it but it just says Line 1, Line 2, Line 3. I don't want to assume that Line 1 is 4ohms, Line 2 is 8ohms and Line 3 is 16ohms.

Thanks.

The dumb switch doesn't know what impedance taps you connect to which lug. You have total control.

you mean to tell me it's a dumb switch, and all this time I thought it was a smart impedance converter switch for a single output xfmer.  :laugh:
