Reamp without a box

No, it's not just a matter of sticking a low to high Z transformer on and calling it a day. There are issues of level change and optimal impedance to be considered, and getting the tone to be translated accurately. The volume knobs are not exactly volume knobs -- they are also matching impedance as well. Check out the Little Labs website for more insight: www.littlelabs.com

Has anyone actually tried it--I hate to take the word of littlelabs who want me to spend 600 bucks to convert low z to high z.

I mean many people convert high z mics to low z with a 10 dollar transformer since cain

Anyone tried this?

Yes, in 1969 when we first got a 16 track. I found using a headphone feed worked better.

Has anyone tried to do this after 1969?

It'll work... the question will be more of the tone of the transformer's character than anything else... there are a whole lot more shitty sounding transformers out there than good sounding transformers.

BTW... I don't know where you got the $600- number for a Littlelabs tool... most of them are way less expensive than that.

Thanks,

you know what I was thinking...I think it is called Direct injecter or something that was $599 or so. I got the 2 mixed up--I think the Little labs was around 200
