Him and his twin brother worked for Dave, eh? and co wrote songs? hmmm

[dirty dave]

thats joey hunting, his twin brother jamie hunting co wrote a song or 2 on 'your filthy little mouth' i know this info from my friend terry kilgore who wrote most of 'your filthy little mouth' and you can see the credit on the album list.

terry owned another variac given to him by eddie but it was a staco variac.

I have no idea but check out that faded Marshall head on the stage. That same amp from the show pictured in the Ebay auction later found it's way into Eddie's stage rig on the 5150 tour.

It's actually a 0-120 volt 6 amp bench variac. Radio Shack and such places used to sell them because they are used to slowly bring electronic equipment to working voltage. If something burns or shorts out, the knob can be dialed to zero in a hurry.

Those old variacs can be a shock hazzard because they aren't isolated from the line voltage and that one probably wasn't even grounded. No way in hell would I hook my amp into it without using an isolation transformer and a ground.

Are you saying you believe this ebay listing is genuine ?

I could dig out an old variac that cost me $50 and
claim that EVH used it on tour and ask for several
thousand bucks too !

[dirty dave]

go over to the metro amp forum and check the tread on this variac.

terry kilgore (aka tube tramp) responds about this variac.

eddie has a lot friends who wound up with some of his old gear and joey hunting is one of them.

apparently joey is a damn good eddie clone on guitar too (according to terry).

[Panamark]

Well Fuck...

You give this cred DD

I still wouldnt pay over $2k for an adjustable transformer,
even if Jesus used it on the Romans !!

I think the Fender Frankie replicas should be around this price range.

[dirty dave]

panamark bro, i agree about the price on this variac but hey you never know what some of eds gear will be worth some day either.

terry tells me eddie mainly used staco variacs and terry had one of his main ones for years (shit terry recorded at 5150 in 86,ed produced).

also agree on the frankie repros and i am hoping theres gonna be a much more affordable version of the frankenstein,but i want to see a white with black stripes version like on the 78 tour.

btw, eddie played a beautiful black strat with white stripes at the des moines show,single pickup.

[Panamark]

I love it when Ed plays strats. Its looks so much more classic
than the Wolfgangs..

Well, you obviously have some good connections dave,
welcome aboard and great to have you here !

[Coyote]

Anyone heard of Bad Cat's "Leash"?
