Usually, the drive transducer has a low impedance and the output transducer has
a high impedance. Usually you can just measure the ohm values to see which is
which.

Consider something like PAIA HOT SPRINGS or NEURAL AGONIZER.

I got a Neural Agonizer for two of my spring-reverbs. I have not really
completed that part of the project, since other parts where not completed
either, but the upswing in my musical hobby side forces me to improve on the
state of things on that and many other things... which is a nice reason to fool
around in the lab, ain't it? ;O)

Cheers,
Magnus - who just realized that the new computers audio out is not hooked up!
