It's true that reducing power can extend transformer response. However, transformers designed for musical instrument use - especially guitar - are unlikely to have sufficient inductance to produce hi-fi quality lows. They're designed to reproduce the lowest note of a six-string, which is 82 Hz. That's two octaves above 20Hz, much too far to expect hi-fi performance at any power level. You can try it, but I think you'll be very disappointed.
