It was created to provide a safe range of voltage reduction levels for vintage tube amplifier designs. The same, era-correct voltage levels that the amps were designed around.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThe dynamics of a vintage amp supplied with the proper line voltage are optimized and will sound and respond as originally intended, revealing the circuits true harmonic content. This is the starting point, the basis of the signal chain, and where serious musicians begin creating a signature tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eMost vintage tube amps respond more harmonically and touch sensitive with optimized voltage .
