nbaird Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I really like being able to use the Variax without batteries and this kit is perfect for that but there is some risk with it. One night I inadvertently plugged the TRS cable for the Variax into my Acoustic/Electric guitar and it fried the electronics. It doesn't have a way to sense if it's plugged into the Variax before it pulses the voltage. If you get this kit be cautious to not plug it into anything but the Variax.

nbaird Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Indeed, If you have a habit of forking 120V outlets for that pleasurable tingle but then you try it on that identical looking one someone wired to 50kV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkerm Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Agreed nbaird. The variax TRS prevents inadvertent insertion into non-compatible jacks much the same way a 120V outlet and a fork don't. It will take some thought to unwind that Adamsian twisted logic. If that was too obscure (I'm known for that) Google "much the way bricks don't" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
