Members Angry Grimace Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have pretty "dirty" voltage in my house. It goes up and down a lot...you can see it in the incandescant bulbs in the house. Would there be any benefit in sticking my DLP, computer and electronics into a Voltage Regulator...APC makes them for fairly cheap. I don't really need "surge" protection, but I would like to keep the voltage at a "clean" steady level? Anyone know anything about them? I don't know that they'd be useful in a guitar amp...

I have one for my guitar amps. I wondered why some nights at rehearsal my amps sounded great, other nights, dog doo. We rehearsed in an industrial area near a huge water treatment plant. When it was humming I'd guess maybe 100 volts was coming from the wall and the amps sounded like {censored}. Got the regulator, and every night after that I had the sound I was expecting. I NEVER gig without it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dreamspace Posted June 17, 2008 Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 We used to play/rehearse at this old school, were ALL amps sounded like {censored}. but of course, I didn't find out that it was the place, and not amps before I'd gone through 3 amps...man, I remember the first time we gigged, and I used a Mesa Quad (that usually sounded like thin {censored} in the school), and it sounded GODLY when I plugged it it. it makes all the difference, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
