Ever heard of Eddie Van Halen and wondered how on earth he got his blistering guitar distortion tone with NO - yes NO fuzz, distortion or overdrive foot pedals? Well - he used a variac - a power transformer and voltage regulator to lower the power into his 100W Marshall guitar amp so that he could turn it up to full volume without blowing out his ear drums but get all the creamy and heavy distortion that we all know and love! Try as guitar foot pedal makers do to emulate his power-tube distortion with a small stomp-box, there is no better distortion sound than Eddies over-driven power tubes. Check out this variac and see others. You may want to research them first but we selected this one as a popular model.

• 2000VA variable voltage regulator input voltage: 110VAC / 60Hz. It is a contact voltage regulator with wide voltage range (0-130V).
• The autotransformer with a exquisite rotating handle,comfortable grip and flexible operation, easy to control output voltage what you need.
• The auto transformer is built-in good quality material copper coil, and with thermal grid design is more easy let the machine cool, more secure and durable.
• This 2KW autotransformer be widely used in motor speed control, label printing machine, EE labs, test for railroad switching, power supplies, satellite, equipment, telecommunication equipment.
• Please note that most device have surge (when first turn on) much higher than operating amp rating. E.g, motor with 10 amp rating may have over 20 amp surge, and you will need 20 amp transformer.
