I'm trying to find a sunn beta lead, I think that they are 4 ohm but not sure,I have a celestion packed 4 12 cabinet(RED BEAR) that is 16 0hm, I plan on using a big muff for distortion, and i have a epiphone-sg with and Iommi pickup. I was wondering if my impedance load would be doing my head any damage with this setup and if so what should I do, ie, re-wire my cab or whatnot....   :evil:  :? Thanks!

I think the Beta amps are rated at 100 watts into a 4 ohm load. The 16 ohm load won't hurt your Beta, but it will cut the amps output down to +/- 30 watts or so.

This may be one case where the cabinet can be rewired to 4 ohms. Check your speakers and how they are wired.
