No if you are playing on an open air stage with the amp cooking
anything else in between a risk
Yes but you should change the amp impedance setting to 16 Ohms if you can. If not it will probably be ok at 8R.
N.B Not all 4 OPV amps allow you to run with 2, almost none of the Blackstars do and you void the warranty if you try it with the one 100 watter that will (not that it would really care!) Note too that some '50W' amps will kick out considerably more than that. The Stage 60 easily hits 80W and I dare say a lot more if you ran one into serious distortion...See, 50 watt amps DON'T have 100 watt amp power supplies! If mains V hops up to an allowed 250, Whaa-HEY!

If you use the Tremoverb and pull 2 output Tubes it would output around 100W at full power, but due to Celestion ratings being rather conservative, you might be safe.
Yes.
Bold/diode is 100W
Bold/tube is about 80W
Spongy/diode is about 70W
Spongy/tube is about 60W
(Not exact but close enough for your purposes.)
Anything other than bold/diode should be safe, if you aren't cranking the amp - if you can still get a clean sound on the orange channel at the volume you're playing, and don't go any louder than that on the red channel, you're safe.

If you want to switch the other functions you just need more of the same - if you use an LED in the tremolo switch it pulses in time with the effect!

"No, 4 ohms ." I stand corrected IC. I was mixing up SPEAKER load and turns ration with the doubled VALVE load (but I am getting on you know!)
The B's WOULD be safe, just that the heaters are in series!
