Kikusui PCR4000M Power Supply
Kikusui · other
The Kikusui PCR4000M is a programmable AC power supply, professional lab and studio equipment used to deliver precisely regulated, adjustable AC voltage rather than relying on a venue's often inconsistent mains power. Angus Young keeps one as part of AC/DC's touring backline, ensuring his amplifiers receive stable, correctly regulated power regardless of the electrical quality at any given venue around the world, a genuinely practical rather than tone-shaping piece of gear. Unlike his guitars or amps, the PCR4000M doesn't contribute any audible character to his sound directly; its job is purely to keep the rest of his rig running consistently and safely night after night across wildly different touring conditions.
