Pro Amp 5C5, 5D5, 5E5, 5E5-A 1846 --- --- 8 ohms
Output impedances are nominal and frequency-dependent. Many amps work with either 4 or 8 ohm loads to allow for
extension speakers.
Some blackface Fender amps use an 8-ohm, center-tapped transformer. When a second speaker is plugged in, the
center-tap of the output coil is selected, halving the output impedance to 4 ohms.
