My question is the same as yours and I am not sure as to what Al is trying to acomplish.

Thx Jer, I'm a little confused too. But in forums like this it often comes to "tangents of misinterpretations".
I'm in no hurry - so we get it sort out, I think.

Hey folks, thanks for all the responses, helpful info going around here.

Like chrispenycate said, it's easy to build a simple DI with a transformer. I understand that, but the original post was about me having a transformer that is suited for something else, and I was wondering if I could manipulate it in any way so it would appear to the rest of the chain as a transformer of the appropriate type. So, the two solutions are going active to solve the impedance issue, or just get the right kind of transformer.

I think I'll do both actually, just cause it's gonna be fun. Thanks again everyone, I look forward to surfing the forum.
