Perfect for Guitarists Too!
My guitar rig is Stereo, so I always had at least three cables to run between my pedal board and the mixer. Usually, Left Output, Right Output and my Mic cable. When you are in a hurry, it takes an unbelievable amount of time to run just three cables from my performance area to the mixer or main snake box. So, I bought this 4-Channel Mic Snake Cable from eBay. It's one of the best purchases that I have ever made.
I soldered 1/4" plugs on both ends of two of the snake conductors and XLR connectors (male on one end, female on the other) of a third snake conductor. That left me with one unused snake wire that I will use for some other device or as a spare, in case one of the others go bad (break open or short). Now, I only need to run ONE cable from my pedal board to the mixer. The three connectors, on each end of the snake, take no time to plug up. I can wire up to the mixer or Snake Box in 1/3 the time it used to take.
So, why did it take so long to run only three cables? Well, anyone that has set stage, knows that you don't just throw wires across the floor. Sometimes, you need to route wires through other stage equipment or along the front (or rear) of the stage. There is equipment and/or people that are usually in your way. So, it would sometimes take me up to 15 minuites to run three separate wires to the board. Now, I only have ONE wire to run. Excellent.
This is top grade snake wire that is flexable, lies flat, doesn't kink up, and has absolutely NO hum or buzz through the PA. Great! Just what the doctor ordered. Also, I now have two less wires in my feet to get tangeled up in or trip over. If you have multiple guitar cables to run across the floor, for multiple outputs or separate FX units, get a Snake. You can get anywhere between 4-Channel and 32 Channels of this snake cable. This saves time and cleans up the stage floor too.

Great Sounding Tube, Perfect Replacement
The two EL34 tubes in this' 'Matched Pair' were very closely matched as specified. They went into a guitar amp that had Electro Harmonix tubes originally installed from the factory. This amp, a Randall RG50TC, has controls for biasing the two output tubes individually. When the idle currents for each tube were adjusted to the same values, the negative voltage on the control grids were only 0.2 volts different.
If you are an EL34 output tube fan, the Electro Harmonix brand is a winner. They have a very warm sound and will get 'bright' when you need them to. They are not 'boomy' or 'mushy' at all. Leads with distortion are very powerful and do not sound subdued or held back. They are also very clean if you adjust your amp for that Fender Twin Reverb sound.
All in all, I would recomend these Electro Harmonix EL34's for any amplifier, guitar and HiFi Stereo alike. I have not found anything 'bad' about these tubes to speak of. They are Top Notch tubes at a descent price and excellent quaility. I realize that the sound of tubes in an amplifier have a lot to do with personal preference and the amplifier circuit design. In this case, the Electro Harmonix sounded better than the NOS tubes and other NEW brands that I have tried in THIS amp, other amps that I own, and amps that I have repaired for my friends & customers. I trust them totally.

Another Use for an Alarm System Transformer
I have a Digitech Studio Quad multi-effects unit that a friend gave to me. He bought another unit with more features and didn't need this one anymore, so he gave it to me. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the power pack for this unit. It didn't take the usual Wall Wart. It used a Wall Wart 'looking' transformer rated at 9(VAC) at 2.2(A). Try finding that at the local Radio Shack! I couldn't find this type of transformer anywhere, Sellers on eBay sold the original Digitech wall transformer for $40.00 and up.
I did an eBay search for 9Vac 2.2A transformers and none came up. I used the formula to convert to VoltAmps(VA) to find the VA of the original transformer. So, VA = Volts X Amps = 9(VAC) X 2.2(A) = 19.8(VA). I did another eBay search for 9VAC 20VA Transformer, and this Ademco Power Supply came up. It was even rated slightly higher (25VA) which meant that it is rated at a higher current than the original. Perfect! The best part of this deal was that the Ademco Power Transformer was new and sold for $9.00 including shipping! Much Better. So, I bought it.
If you look at the wire connections on this transformer, it uses screw terminals. Just crimp and solder some spade lugs (solderless terminals) to the wire ends, and I'm good to go. Hmmm, what about the other end of the wire. Nope - the Digitech didn't use typical 2.5mm power connectors (like pedals have). It used a 4-pin DIN. I had plenty of 3-Pin and 5-Pin DINs (from my Commodore 64 repair days), but no 4-Pin DINs. Thank goodness for Digi-Key. They had just what I needed. I bought 10 of them (you know - spares) for $20.00.
I received the Ademco transformer and DIN connectors at about the same time. I soldered the DIN connector to the other end of my wire, screwed the spade lugs to the Ademco Transformer, plugged the DIN into the Digitech, and plugged the Ademco Transformer into the wall, pushed the Digitech power switch and . . . . presto! The Digitech lit right up. I plugged my guitar into input 1 (it has 4 ins and 4 outs) and output 1 to my amp. Works like a champ.
I let the Digitech Quad run all day, all night, and the next morning, I checked the transformer, and it was barely warm. Good Deal! So, this Ademco Honeywell Transformer served MY purposes perfectly, even though it isn't powering my alarm system.
