Last night at the gig the meter on my power conditioner was reading 130. The amp (VH4) was sounding great, did the extra juice do any damage that might show up later, like tonight when I'm gigging again?

Thanks sg guy. I posted this over at the Diezel forum and Peter said that the amp is only rated at 120 volts. Gigged again last night and the amp worked fine and sounded great. Voltage was high again but only 122 volts. Looks like a voltage regulator is in order, or do you think a variac would be a better choice to tame the voltage?

-I use a variac, but I also lower the voltage to 85-90v, both will do the job, but the variac is much more flexible-
