I can only guess.

Maybe he wants more color and this particular transformer has a sound
that pleases him. Transformers can be a huge part of a warm sound. I'd
probably be looking at less neutral pres if I wanted color, but then
again, a neutral pre will pass the sound of that transformer quite
accurately, so maybe... Heck, why don't we ask him? Why the transformers?

By the way, Fred's gear rocks! I wish he'd make a mastering EQ. I just
keep saying this hoping that he'll get sick of hearing it and finally
make one to shut us all up. Pretty please?
