Wouldnt the high impedance make less power if B+ is the same? maybe that gets you to clipping sooner too.

Different impedances of primary have different suggested Va (B+) values but most are lower than the supply voltages that most guitar amps have. My question is that given that the supply voltages are adequate for full power for either transformer what is the possible tone difference?
