Since I can't find any evidence of [b]anyone in the world [/b]doing It, I am tempted to fit one of these:-

Into my Littlemark800 tube - just to see what happens. The scientist in me wants to record the difference(?) for posterity. Does anyone have any suggestions for tests? - I don't mean take it to a gig. I mean something more measurable.

Record a bit of your bass playing, clean, and straight into the desk (no amp, or anything). Play it back through the head and record the result. Then make the change, and play the original recording through it again, all settings the same and you can analyze the results.

Some people just play the same bassline twice, but then the inconsistencies in the two performances make analysis harder.

Not to hijack my own thread, but ...yeah. I can see that there is a cost issue involved in fitting an audio transformer as standard, but it would be cheaper than making a completely new circuit board. I also have a teensy concern about how well the circuit board stays in place inside the amp in a rock and roll world. but that's part of the investigation I suppose. ( just spent today drop-testing electronic equipment). :yarr:

Polarity flip one result and overlay them, then you can isolate the difference part. That's always interesting.
