Members Super_Donut_Man Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 For a Guild Thunderbass, does anybody know the impedance on them. The amp has 2 8417's on talk bass I get this: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-275008.html Got some conflicting stories, but from http://www.letstalkguild.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9247&p=96461&hilit=thunderbass+impedance#p96461 I get some other info, but I don't know if its what I am looking for... Hi Dick; the secondary impedance on both the 6L6 and 8417 models is 8 ohms; it's fixed, no extra or switchable output taps. Both versions have a nominal rating of 50 watts. Hope this helps. CJ ^^is this my answer? I think I remember seeing someone getting one a while back. Any and all help is welcomed. Also the dude selling it does not know the impedance.

Members misterhinkydink Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 It looks like no less than 8 ohm so 8-4-2 will be OK. 8-16-32 not OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members misterhinkydink Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 Ummm....in what universe is 4 or 2 not less than 8? In the load universe, 4 and 2 ohm loads are greater than an 8 ohm load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted December 28, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2009 In the load universe, 4 and 2 ohm loads are greater than an 8 ohm load. +1 Think of the output transformer as inverting the load: higher = lower and vice versa.
