hi,
can I use the 4 and 8 ohms secondaries at the same time, running two different caps? this is with a fenderish ot. thanks?

I believe it would make the secondary impedance about 2.6 ohms if you were to combine those two taps (4 &

.
And when you said caps, I assume you mean cabs?

You can, but you want to use an 8ohm and a 16ohm cab on the 4ohm and 8ohm taps respectively to do this and retain the correct impedance matching.
This is effectively the same as running 2 16ohm cabs off the 8ohm tap or 2 8ohm cabs off the 4ohm tap.
