My bro-in-law purchased this gizmo, originally designed for tube guitar amps, to lower his line AC from 120VAC to 110VAC because his Chinese-made EL-34 based stereo amp was running very hot. It works like a charm. Because it is designed for use on the road by gigging rockers, it is sturdy and compact. Certainly a bargain compared to a real variac!

I think it would be excellent for anyone wishing to preserve a vintage Dynaco designed for the old 110 VAC standard without having to switch out power tranny, or for someone with line voltage above the "ideal" 117 for the VTA products. It has a long list of famous endorsees in the rock universe.
Effin' groovy.
