Back in the 80's, I used to have a this thing in the shape of a cassette. It had a magnetic head where the tape would normally be. You put it into the cassette player in your car and then plugged the other end into the headphone jack of a clamshell CD player and now you had
a CD player in your car! Magnet to magnet. That's what this reminds me of.
I think one of the hardware tape sim boxes works this way as well.

Here is some frequency analysis via Span, a free plugin by Voxengo. Green is the raw signal, puke salmon is reamped through the pickup, and bilious green-brown is where they overlap.
puke salmon is my favorite color.

Better than what? Do you mean it removed the resonance problem you had with the original DI signal? Or do you mean you just prefer the new rolled-off EQ curve?
