Hi,

No, it is absolutely not the same, because now you would have two transformers (the original Fat Head and the Lundahl) in the signal path. Also, not all transformers are the same. In fact, there will be radical differences depending on the application the transformer was designed for. A Lundahl transformer used in a preamp or an equalizer is very different from a ribbon microphone transformer.

Hope this helps!

Hi Julian,
thank you very much. Yes, your words really help me.
Actually all the concepts you explained were in my suspects but now I see it's confirmed. Thank you!
