bnwitt	Re: Variac Darcy, are you sure it's not the room mechanics or the quality of the beer that is effecting your amp's sound from place to place? It's hard to believe that with today's modern power grid controls you are getting that much variance in house voltage output from club to club. I would get myself a good meter and start logging that variable from place to place to see if it really has anything to do with line voltage variance before I subjected a favorite amp to the potential downside of the variac.
