Out of curiosity, would this thing have an affect on modern amps, like a DRRI, if you dropped the line voltage t0 115VAC? The DRRIs can have an ice-picky quality. Would dropping the voltage warm it up any? Also, is there any danger in using it with modern amps if you run it at 115?

Also, could this be used to "replicate" a dying battery sound on a stomp box?

I asked the same questions, and was told to go ahead and try it, that 115 volts shouldn't hurt anything. I haven't tested my Fender Stage 112SE or any pedals yet. I will test that amp down to 110 volts and some pedals down to maybe 105 as soon as I can, and get back to you.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

Anything new with a UL sticker can be assumed to handle a +/- 10% variation in input voltage. I wouldn't suspect an analog amp to have difficulties until you got down below 80v. Digital gear otoh would probably just shut off at about 90v

Pedals with switch-mode (basically anything from the last 8 years because of California Green law) wall wart power supplies and now generally rated 90-240v. The wall wart is self regulating.
