I have some noise problems at home, would a power conditioner make it go away?
I use the same.I use a Furman SS-6B Power Strip / Surge Protector. Filters out some EMI and RFI noise but I use it more for the surge protection than anything else.
Bad power would cause my old G-System to do some crazy stuff.I'm interested in some kind of voltage regulator as I've had spontaneous reboots in a couple clubs.
I'm thinking its from low voltage/brown out type situations but anything that would protect from that start in the $500 range.
Anybody have experience with this?
I had a few reboots, and also had to deal with low voltage a few times, and always felt better running a power conditioner.I'm interested in some kind of voltage regulator as I've had spontaneous reboots in a couple clubs.

I never used! No problems!
What you're referring to in your scenario is a voltage regulator and yes, good ones start in the $500.00 range. The OP is asking about power conditioners, which the $30 Furman I referenced will do (EMI and RFI noise reduction) as well as offer surge protection. Point being is you don't have to spend a lot of money to reduce the potential for noise and offer basic protection for your gear which makes it rather foolish to go without it.The questions are :
What do you want to protect against ?
What are you willing to pay ?
Living in Europe with a 230V system a voltage drop to 100V would most likely stop a lot of things but not the AX8. That's different in the US where a drop by 20V already exceeds the AX8 operational limits. To cover that sort of thing you need to spend more than 30$. Surge protection again is different, it's a lot cheaper and yes, I would agree it's a no brainer when playing festivals and outdoor gigs where things like lightning strike do happen. Then there's the EMI filter discussion. Has anyone ever the popped the hood and checked if the AX8 already has an EMI filter ?
