You’re saying a wall voltage that swings between 116 - 125 does not result in any perceivable or audible changes in tone, as long as the bias is set at an average value? I’m paraphrasing of course, but trying to understand. Apologies I am so dumb.
Either Tripp-Lite or Juice Goose should have something in that price range.

Where? I scrolled through all the products on Markertek, then all their products on both of their sites. I emailed both of them asking about it.
Actually, they don’t! They referred me to a company called Sola. He said I need a “constant voltage transformer.” All the Sola products I saw were for 120 volts, but they say “+/- 3 VAC.” Which could either mean the output is adjustable, or it’s not a steady output. I can’t find an email for Sola so I’ll have to call them when I’m done working nights.
But my wall voltage does vary, every few seconds… I have a few variacs, but I’d need to tweak em constantly to get anything steady. Ah well.
Right, I wasn’t suggesting a VVA for the 'regulate' question. And I’m under the same impression as you — a lockdown regulator is expensive. It may not help, but have you talked to your power company? Maybe even a home electrician? Is it possible your neighbor or even your home is running a big load that switches on and off?
Thanks for the thoughts! I have spoken with Sola who makes constant voltage transformers, and they’re not crazy expensive, a 6.25 amp one is $1700. My thought was I’d put a variac after that and dial it in. However, the specs say “+/- 3 VAC” which funnily enough would be the exact amount of swing my wall provides haha!
