Default Power Transfer

Impedance matching is all about power transfer. When matched maximum power is transferred.

In the extreme the power line coming into your house has a extremely low impedance. If you were to match the same impedance with your toaster it would consume all the power the power company has to offer. One huge flash bulb. Plus the existing power lines would also vaporize. That is the extreme. In reality your toaster has a impedance many orders of magnitude higher than the power line so it just toasts your bread.

In general low impedance power source (your guitar) into a high impedance input ( your amp ). is good. the other way around not so good.

With all that said try whatever you want if you like the "sound" keep it.
