Great, the fifty watt version is fine. I just like running my gear as designed. I've been playing guitar for over 45 years and have tried a lot of things, including impedance mismatching, using different brand speakers in cabinets and even pulling two power tubes on my 76 100 watt Twin Reverb to try and cut the power in half. All I wound up with a Twin that was slightly less loud, but not enough to help and it didn't sound as good either. The mismatch gave me less power and a gritty tone that I didn't like very much. I've been using the Z-Matcher for a few years and it's been great. I have a couple of 16 ohm Egnater cabs loaded with 12" Celestion Elite 80's and a 8 ohm trasher cab I got from EBay for eighty bucks loaded with a Jenson Mod 12"speaker. I can run them with any amp I own in any combination with the Z-Matcher.

I wouldn't call it hoodoo. Weber doesn't make money by selling information. Max, you can go with a slight mismatch. Personally I don't like the way it sounds. But I wouldn't dismiss the caution from Weber. On my amps builds I use Classic Tone transformers. I contacted them with the same questions, and they recommend running at the proper load that was designed for the amps transformer. On a 8 ohm load, either a 16 or 8 will work and you'll be fine. I would feel bette using a 16 ohm load. Personally, I use a Weber Z-Matcher because I always want my amp to run the proper load regardless of the cabinet I use. I don't care who says it's fine. This is a hot topic on this forum and I get tired of arguing the topic. It boils down to let you conscience be your guide, but keep the warnings in mind. Like I said, I don't like the way an impedance mismatch sounds, you might like it. YMMV



Sorry I didn't get the Z-Weber Impedance Matcher part here. That was actually the solution I was looking for after getting all the advise on not mismatching impedances. Thanks!



FINAL UPDATE: I got the Z-Weber Impedance Matcher. I've been playing with both, amp+cabinet without any troubles. Coupling them gives you a significant increase in bass and presence. Very sweet if you want to play heavier rock.
