transient

I've been wondering this for a long time. Most of us know that impedance effects power output and sometimes volume but what other effects does impedance have on tone? Theoretically lower impedance should increase damping. What about transient response? What audible difference other than volume...

I've always been a fingerstyle player (been playing nearly 30 years), but I've recently fallen in love with picking - the attack and the transient response are so prominent, and picking brings out the presence of my instrument in ways I just can't duplicate with my fingers. When I play guitar...
