Is the transformer in the Greer Royal Velvet really going to help?

As I've mentioned here before I've built a few Broadcast pedals without the transformer and struggle to hear any meaningful difference. Now I see that the Greer Royal Velvet (British Royalty OD) is using the exact same transformer at the very end of the circuit. Apparently they have found a way to alter the feel of it by changing the “loading” of the transformer. This seems to be by flipping the ground on each side of the transformer. I imagine that if you were to do this in a mixer with many transformers you might hear a difference if one is flipped but will using a 1:1 transformer really do anything here?
