![]() I've been using a Furman AR-1215 AC voltage regulator for close to 20 years now, they work fine. ![]() If you want a stable voltage/current source, you need an AC voltage regulator. Dan said he actually adjusts vintage tube amps to be better matched for 120V. He had some great thoughts and suggestions but I guess I'm a little surprised that these devices aren't more of a norm seeing as musicians are so often performing in venues that don't have good power. I had a good discussion with Dan Lurie about this stuff the other day. Btw, I think Mike Butler signs every post with "play music!" To my ear, crappy power affects tone (and possibly the well being of my expensive vintage equipment) much more than what type of cable or volume pedal I'm using, and we'll discuss those things all day. I agree with your comment about placing the concern on playing music but unfortunately there are so many other factors that make it all happen. ![]() We went back a couple weeks later (with amps we don't care as much about) and it was the same story. That particular venue is an older ski lodge. That device you provided a link to looks like a good affordable option, thanks.ĪJM, I didn't measure the voltage from the wall but I asked the bass player and other guitar player in the band if they had their amps turned up more than normal and both said they were turned up way more than they should be. ![]() Good to know that the Brown Box wouldn't allow me to raise the voltage, I wasn't sure about that. Mike, ideally the device would tell me what is coming from the wall and then allow me to correct it by bringing the voltage up or down, even dialing it in to wherever the sweet spot for the amp is. ![]()
