New Amp Day!
Thanks to @tomgibson3783 I have just added the latest (and dare I say greatest?) pillar to ToneHenge™:
1966 @traynor_amps#YGA1#Signature amp. Basically #Traynor's famous #YBA1, but for guitar.
Even more that it's age, rarity, and complete originality, the most exciting thing for me about this amp is its provenance: it's a one-owner amp from a keyboard player who used it to drive a Leslie speaker (so the original 15" RSC speaker has literally never been used!). After 4 years of gigging, he put it in storage...and it has been there for FIFTY TWO YEARS! 😳
A few months ago I saw this amp come up on Reverb, and I immediately said to my pals Tom and @michaelsegui how much I wanted it. But it was a bit expensive and about a 2 hour drive from my place yada yada. Over the last few months I watched the price coming steadily down, until at last it was at half of the original price! So I again bugged the guys with it, saying "holy f*ck this is an incredible bargain...if only it wasn't a two hour drive to the middle of nowhere in winter" yada yada yada...
Next thing I know, Tom has contacted the seller, bought the damned thing, AND PICKED IT UP for me! Can you believe it?? Man, it is good to have friends!!!
Needless to say, since it has not run in 50 years, I certainly will NOT be powering it up. I am taking it to my amp tech @marshalllespaulfan ASAP for a thorough servicing before he gradually and safely powers it up on his VARIAC. I fully expect a complete re-capping will be necessary, but even if the transformers need replacing, it will still be a super cool amp, and my favourite in my whole collection! I cannot thank my buddy Tom enough for making this happen!
Oh, also: although it is in great shape, it is FILTHY from 50 years of being in storage...as soon as summer rolls around (and I can turn a hose on it), it will be getting a thorough cleaning! 😉

Tube amp guru Dave Friedman has revealed that legendary modder José Arredondo built a custom amp for Eddie Van Halen that has disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Speaking to the Final Resonance TV YouTube channel, Friedman says he once ran into Arredondo at a NAMM show, who proceeded to show him a guitar amp that was built for Eddie, potentially some kind of signature model. But following Arredondo’s death in 1994, no-one knows where it is.
“I didn’t see Ed at that point, but they were trying to shop their amp that José had made,” says Friedman. “The amp that no-one knows whatever happened to. I saw it. I saw it at a shop. No-one knows whatever happened to this amp. It’s a mystery where it went. Ed didn’t know what happened to it. No-one knew what happened to it. José died and no-one knows where it went.”
Cataloging the electric guitar gear behind the Van Halen sound has been an archival project readily taken on by legions of EVH fans online. It is not always easy. Eddie would share some secrets, but he would also actively participate in the mythology. He would experiment and try new things.
We can hunt the Brown Sound, but which Brown Sound? The common denominator that links modded Marshall amps, variac transformers, orange-box phaser pedals and the rest of it is Eddie’s playing. Friedman, who has built rigs for Eddie, says as much in the interview.
youtube
But that doesn’t invalidate the search for ‘Holy Grail’ missing pieces, as this Arredondo-designed amp would definitely be. Sadly, even Friedman didn’t even get to hear it. He did get a look at it, though.
“I remember seeing it,” he says. “It had two channels, and it had one channel that was covered – it was huge. The amp was like the size of an SVT. José showed it to me. He didn’t play through it – he just showed me. ‘Yeah, that’s the amp we’re working on with Ed.’ And Ed sunk a bunch of money into it, and no-one, no-one knew what happened to it.”
In many respects, this amp shares a similar reputation to Arredondo, whose biography remains shrouded in mystery. His work, however, and his reputation, have become the stuff of legend.
In 2010, Guitar World ran a feature on the legendary amp wizards, among whom was Arredondo. One of his clients, Bryan Jay, of Keel, had a Marshall modded by Arredondo, and recalled how hard it was to find him at the time.
youtube
“You had to know somebody that knew somebody that knew him to get a hold of him,” he said. “Thinking back, [my mod] was kind of difficult to get.”
Arredondo was suitably discrete about his clients. Jay says he didn’t give up his secrets easily, and wouldn’t comment on who else’s Marshall was sitting in the garage awaiting transformation. But he sure did a heck of a job, adding an extra preamp tube and a pull function that bottomed out the volume while keeping the gain.
“What I basically wanted was that kind of that first Van Halen album sound, and he seemed to know exactly what I wanted,” said Jay. “We’d put up different amps in our rehearsal studio, play through this one, switch to that one, and the Jose always blew everything away. It was unbelievable how good it sounded. When you pulled the knob out, it dropped the volume, but you still had all this gain. It sounded like it was on 10.”
youtube
Jay claims that Peavey based the design of its VTM series on his Arredondo-modded Marshall. If Arredondo’s client list was hush-hush and on the Q.T., we do know that players such as John Sykes, George Lynch and Steve Vai were on it. Jay says Yngwie Malmsteen was a client, too.
James Hetfield was another client. He has Arredondo to thank for why his rhythm guitar tone sounds so good on Metallica’s latest album, 72 Seasons. Speaking to Total Guitar, producer Greg Fidelman said that Hetfield used the legendary amp on almost every track.
“James has always had one of the legendary José Arredondo-modded Marshalls, a late-’60s/early-’70s Superlead head,” said Fidelman. “When we did Hardwired... [To Self Destruct in 2016] it wasn’t working very well. When we started this album, I had a re-invigorated interest in this head.”
“I was talking with Dave Friedman, who is very familiar with those old José mods, and he fixed it. When I got it back, I told James I thought it sounded insane, and he got really excited about it. It ended up on every song. I think that’s what you’re hearing.”
youtube
Which brings us nicely back to Dave Friedman, and our mystery amp. Where is it? He has no idea. It might be gone for good.
“It’s a mystery where it went. It would be amazing if it turned up one day,” says Friedman. “But I don’t think it’s going to turn up. I think it was probably trashed at some point in time – when, I don’t know. Maybe his family has it. I have no idea. It’s a mystery. You’d think it would come up already by now.”

so our brand new 1960’s/early 70’s Staco variac quit working correctly… take it apart and notice that it’s physically not moving across all of the autotransformer windings… it seems how you install the Voltage knob can act as a physical voltage limiter 😹
but a power meter shunt wire fell off so we soldered that on… i cant believe this old test equipment only has the transformer leads and power outlets soldered — the needle meters are all on crimped wires like they were trying to do a tribute to Lucas automotive electronics

The Future of Special Transformers: Advancements in Technology and Their Impact on Power Systems
A special transformer is a type of electrical transformer that is designed for specific applications, such as in industrial or scientific settings. These transformers are designed to provide specific voltage and current levels, and may also have additional features such as isolation, regulation, or protection.
There are several types of special transformers, including power transformers, instrument transformers, isolation transformers, autotransformers, and variable transformers. Power transformers are used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits, while instrument transformers are used to measure electrical quantities such as voltage and current. Isolation transformers are used to provide electrical isolation between circuits, while autotransformers are used to step up or step down voltage levels. Variable transformers are used to control voltage levels and may also be known as variacs.
Special transformers are used in a wide range of applications, including in power generation and transmission, industrial equipment, medical equipment, and scientific research. They may also be used in audio equipment, such as in guitar amplifiers, to provide specific impedance levels.

A variable transformer is utilized when it is vital that output voltages be modified with a continuous sinusoidal wave shape. Ravielectrical variable transformers produce no interference or harmonics and are hence ideal for use in test facilities or research centers where high frequency interference might change the result.

Everything You Should Know About High Voltage Equipment
As technology advances, different equipment is being used for making ease of operation and enhancing the comfort of the entire mankind. In such a list, high voltage equipment holds the most significant place. As electricity is important for every building like houses, offices, industries, schools, colleges, etc the needs of it are growing high. The level of electricity required for different buildings and equipment are different. So, a transformer is used as the point as the junction for the electricity distribution.
A transformer is the most important part of the electricity transfer system for different buildings. Without the transformer, it is not possible to have a safe and constant distribution of power to different places. However, when you need to enjoy the complete benefits of this equipment, it is a must to know about some of the important aspects of it. Continue reading to know them.
What is High Voltage Equipment?
Most people are afraid when hearing in the words “high voltage” considering the danger behind it. Yes! It is something to be dangerous when it is not handled properly. Generally, the home requires only 110 to 120. This range might exceed 220 volts when you are using some dryer and electric stove. When the voltage is low it will give you shock and when it is high, it will hold you to it and continue through your body for a longer time.
Safety Concerns
When you are working with any form of electricity and equipment related to it, it is more important to follow the safety rules. Electricity will help in making all the work much easier, but when you are mishandling, it might even kill you. Primary safety is turning off the power sources when you are working with it. Do not touch the equipment unless you ensure it is fine to touch it. You can also wear some safety gloves, slippers, etc. In particular, you should maintain equipment like a variac transformer exporter and other huge voltage electric equipment.
The variac transformer uses only one winding simultaneously as the primary and secondary ones in the process. So, both the input and output are electrically and magnetically connected by the self-induction process. The electrical connections have some risk of removing the isolation between the windings, but as it is single winding offers more benefits.
Maintenance of the High Voltage Equipment
Avoid breakage and outage by cleaning it regularly to ensure safety by the professionals. Change certain parts of it periodically in some huge machines.
When you are housing large equipment, some professionals who have enough knowledge regarding it should be employed in the company.
When you need to paint the equipment or completely check it, you can look for the variac transformer India professionals and seek help from them.
When there are any signs for some wear or tear, should look for professional testing. When you are careless, it might lead to leakage of electricity, increase cost, consume more time for even some small works.
The Bottom Line
Any equipment that is the resultant of the technology is great and beneficial when you know about it and handle it properly. When it fails with it at any part, it will lead to great dangers. So, you might have now got some idea on the high voltage types of equipment, make use of it, and enjoy the benefits without any harm.

Uses OF Variac Transformer:
Variac transformer has lots of various applications. These sorts of transformers can be utilized to accelerate and hinder electric engines, make lights more brilliant or dimmer or to reproduce explicit conditions with the goal that different testing systems can be done. Variable transformers, because of their control handles, have the nature of taking into consideration a smooth and consistent minor departure from voltage. This makes them uniquely not quite the same as carefully controlled gadgets, which go up or down regarding yield dependent on a particular interim.
Variac Transformers are used in the following places:
1) Auditoriums 2) Hotels 3) Conference Hall 4) Laboratories 5) Colleges and Universities 6) Factories 7) Industrial Units
Application of Variac Transformer:
• Measuring & Testing equipment • Servo stabilizer • Anodizing as well as electroplating industries • Control panels
Find Reviews about Variac Transformer

Got a question today about the equipment I use on my bench. Tried to reply to it, but if I wanted to do more than just list names of devices, I ran out of letters. :)
Thanks to @clarencerutherford for the question!
On the off chance that more than one of you are curious about the equipment I use to do my restorations, I decided to do a quick post about my workbench. So... here are a few pics of the bench... going from left to right on the upper shelf we have:
Eico RF generator, which creates RF signals across a wide range and is primarily used to align radios for best reception. Next to that is a Heathkit signal tracer which is used to follow signals through a circuit. Below those is a Leeds/Norhrup resistor substitution box. I don’t use it very much, but it has cool dials on it and is potentially useful, so I keep it around.
Next to those is an HP oscilloscope, and above that is an HP benchtop multi-meter. Next to the scope is an early HP audio generator which isn’t working right now. I have all the parts to fix it, but just haven’t gotten around to it. On top of the audio generator is a B&K frequency counter which I use to double-check my analog RF generator when doing radio alignments. At the top of that stack is a Heathkit wave generator. It creates sine, square and sawtooth waves for troubleshooting circuits.
On the lower shelf, again left to right are:
Agilent DC power supply. This was something that my work was getting rid of because it was broken. Took it home and after some troubleshooting with a friend got it working again. Mostly I’ve used this for a tube filament supply for battery radios when I’m testing them.
On top of that power supply are a few analog multi-meters. Next to that is an RCA isolation transformer which is important for working on old equipment and reducing potential shock hazards. Then there’s my HP variac, which I use for slowly powering up the radios and equipment I work on. Then there’s my Heathkit VTVM (Vacuum Tube Volt Meter) which is also helpful for aligning radios and generally taking voltage and resistance measurements.
Next to the VTVM is a Weston Electric decibel meter which I’ve never used, but purchased long ago because I like old meters. Above that is my Heathkit audio generator. I’ve restored it, so that’s the one I use when I need to create an audio signal. Lastly is my Hickock tube tester. Got this for free cause it was in really rough shape. The box it came in was pretty shot, so I built a new one, restored it electrically and now use it as my primary tube tester.
Most of this stuff I picked up for cheap because it was broken. This meant for a long time, my bench was largely ornamental. It’s only recently that I’ve actually fixed most of the equipment you see here. I’ve got more pieces of test gear stashed away in my shop. These will be future projects for sure!
Stay tuned for other things...

Here's a few photos of my shop. I have done a fair bit of work to make it a more functional space over the past few years. I've been feeling pretty good about it the last while and updating this blog while I have had some extraordinary access to the internet has been a nice trip down memory lane and a good reminder that learning electronics is a marathon not a sprint.
I should mention that this shop is directly outside of our bedroom door, meaning my wife has to walk through it to get to our bedroom every night and from our bedroom every morning. She is incredibly patient and understanding. Way to go Ashley. Thanks honey.
Some of the things that have made this space very functional have been the set up of french cleats on the wall surrounding the bench. This allows me to move the bookshelves, parts trays, white board, bulletin board, dim bulb, guitar hanger and wire rack anywhere at all very easily.
All of the jigs I have made for using the signal generator, dummy load, and variAC are all at hand as well as all my different multimeter leads. This has lead to things getting done in a much more efficient manner. My notes, schematics, and reference books are all easily accessible as well.
So what are the things that I'm not 100% happy with now? Well, I'd like a better storage situation for on-going projects. I might build some shelving to accommodate this on on the wall behind the bench. I'd also like to find some bigger parts bins for storing the guts of amp or whatever I'm working on and also stuff that I'm salvaging from other equipment like spare transformers, speakers, etc.
As far as ergonomics go, I'm finding it difficult to use the oscilloscope from where it is located. I'm not entirely sure what the fix is here whether it's longer leads or just moving it closer. I have also considered finding a small stand for it that is on wheels that I can pull over next to me when I require it. I've seen dudelinger from D-Lab Electronics on the youtube use a nice little cart like that. He's good, I like his videos and have learned a lot from them the past few years. Also another multimeter would be super helpful. Only having the one has proved annoying from time to time. A bench meter would be nice, but I would just as soon have another handheld meter.
Also I could use a little help for Mary Poppins now and again to keep the bench clean. It gets a little messy from time to time. I have had a few projects that I've been tinkering at for a number of years that I really just need to finish and get out of the door and out of the way. Maybe sell a few things to purchase some parts for a fresh design and build I'm cooking up. More about that later.

Building guitar rigs at Nice Rack Canada is an enjoyable way to spend every work day, but occasionally things get dialled up a notch, or 3.
A fantastic client recently came to our shop with a few boxes full of his favourite audio tools, wanting them built into a comprehensive guitar rig that could answer any of his creative urges.
The client gave us carte blanche to devise the signal flow and make hardware choices as we deemed fit for the task.
The criteria for the rig was;
Pristine Dry Tones
Lush, Warm & Deep Effects
Homages to the client’s musical heroes
Instant Accessibility to every function & favourite presets
Forward Flexibility
We developed this Wet / Dry / Wet system to capitalize on the client’s extensive collection of Marshalls and Marshall clones. Although the client is a dedicated Jimmy Page fan, he does not like the aesthetic of three of Page’s “secret weapons”, Supros, the AC30 & Whammy pedal. Hence we added the Fractal Audio Axe FX II XL+ to cover the Supro, AC30 & Whammy Pedal tones.
Starting right from the beginning of the signal chain at the guitar we spec’d the Shure Axient UHF system. Switching the input frequencies was the first homage to a hero, the Mike Hill Input Switcher as used by Angus Young.
Sharp eyes may notice that the 3x Furman units are seeing different input voltages. Here’s why. The primary Furman is the P1800AR which regulates output to 120VAC from the 105 to 125VAC input range, this unit powers the Effects Rack & the secondary Furman (PL-8) in the UHF Rack. The PL-8 supplies power to the UHF system, switcher, battery chargers & VariAC. The output of the VariAC supplies the 3rd Furman (PL-8) , which supplies “browned” 110VAC to the Amplifiers.
Continuing the homage to heroes a Solo Dallas Shaffer Replica Boost was installed in the system. The companding effect of this boost is truly it’s own unique flavour that must be played through to understand the simple beauty of this tool that helped shape the history of rock n roll.
Also visible in this photo is a custom system mixer for Delay & Reverb “Spillover”, with switchable Phase Inversion for the Wet signal. Also in the box are Switchable Phase Inverters & Ground Isolation Transformers for each amp feed
A 2nd homage can be seen in this photo, a pair of Tape Echoes in stereo. We had pushed for original Maestros, but based on availability had to settle for units pictured made by some jerk in California. As with any product made by the Trumpian pedal cloner who hates Canada, we’ll discount the labour time involved in substituting any of his pieces in any system build. Once we can find the right Tape Echoes in mint condition, the Tape Echoes by Asshat will be gone.
To fully exploit the potential of the Axe FX II XL+’s signal routing capabilities, we have engineered a switching solution using the RJM Music Effect Gizmos to be able to place the Axe FX “pre” connections before or after the collection of analog Boosts, OD’s & Fuzzes.
The “post” connections of the Axe FX on a per preset basis can be routed into the analog Left & Right Wet Amps for effects only presets, or into the FRFR cabinets with Amp & Cabinet simulations in use.
The TC Electronic G Major 2 was chosen for the system to cover the myriad of classic TC Electronic Effects flavours in the most compact & MIDI integrated unit that TC manufactures.
In Drawer #1 we have some modern classics by Strymon, the Big Sky, TimeLine & Deco. The Deco has been modded to accept MIDi control via an RJM Music Mini Amp Gizmo to engage the Saturation, Double & Favourite Functions.
The Analogman Chorus has a unique flavour about it that the client loves and it stands out from the other Choruses in the rig by Fractal, TC Electronic & Strymon.
The MXR Phaser has been owned by the client since it was brand new. To honour it’s history we replaced the bottom plate with a modified version that allows for connections to a regulated & isolated power supply without devaluing the enclosure.
In Drawer #2 things get a lot hairier, and a little smoother.
The Tone Bender comes with a little modern rock history having been acquired from Mike Turner of Our Lady Peace.
Stuart Castledine’s beautifully crafted Olympic Fuzz takes the harmonics a little hotter. For convenience and ethics, we replaced the bottom plate with a modified version that allows for connections to a regulated & isolated power supply, while allowing battery source materials to be used to power the economy of the future.
Chicago Iron’s take on the Octavio cranks the harmonic stacking into “hang on for the ride” territory, with all the bliss you can imagine that the ride would bring.
Each of the Fuzz pedals has a custom Nice Rack Canada “Fuzz Buffer” in line before the pedal to optimize the input impedance to match the output of the client’s favourite Les Paul.
Regardless of which effect may be in the signal path before the fuzz, the fuzz pedal “breaks up” as it would with the Les Paul plugged directly into the fuzz.
Robert Keeley’s modern perfect take on a classic compressor provides the smooth. Just enough sponge to dig into without it getting annoying, and a super low noise floor. Keeley is setting the standard for independent brands making analog effects.
In Drawer #3, we’ve got a plethora of harmonic stacking devices from mild to wild. This drawer is wonderful snapshot of current guitar technology by some of the brightest minds of our time. Mad Professor, Lovepedal, Skreddy, Catalinbread, Barber, Friedman, J Rockett & Xotic, all competently demonstrating why they populate the rigs of pros who know and tone junkies that crave the good stuff.
In Drawer #4 sounds wobble so pleasantly, they punch and they get creamy.
Stuart Castledine’s Supra Vibe will get you right into “Machine Gun” mode and we mean that in the most reverent way possible.
The Strymon Mobius provides a wide array of modulations with distinct flavours to separate it from the TC Electronic & Fractal Audio modulations.
The Xotic EP boost is used in unity setting to widen the bandwidth of the signal when desired.
The Lovepedal COT50 provides a nice punch to the front of the amp to take it from clean to breaking when pushed.
The Klon Centaur provides the creamy smooth breakup that has spawned a legion of follow on designs.
As you can see in each drawer, we used the often imitated & never duplicated power supplies by the legendary Voodoo Lab.
Tucked in next to the Solo Dallas Shaffer replica and the RJM Music Mini Amp Gizmo is the “secret sauce”, The Chase Tone Secret PreAmp.
The controller board for the rig features a Castledine Wah, TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Mini, modified Boss FV500 expression pedal and the last word in MIDI controllers.
When building a rig of this magnitude the only acceptable controller for the job is the RJM Music MasterMind GT-22.
We’ve been proud to be installed the MasterMind series of controllers dating back to serial # Beta 1 of the GT series, and serial #1 of the LT/7 & PBC controllers as well. RJM Music’s contribution to guitar rig technology and the music industry is a unheralded accomplishment. RJM Music has made many things possible for guitar players that were but a dream a decade ago.
While RJM Music is a little over a decade old there is compelling testimony to say that they are setting standards that leave the competition far behind. Check out their pro users list and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
Regardless of what the criteria is for your rig, Nice Rack Canada can embrace it and expand it’s capabilities beyond your imagination’s limits.

What Is A Transformer?
A Transformer is an electrical device, which offers electrical isolation, impedance, and is responsible for transferring the voltage between the primary and secondary circuit. The Alternating current (AC) is applied on one side of the transformer, and it provides the alternating current to the other side on the required voltage. The current flowing in the transformer wire creates the magnetic field in the surrounding.
