need to ditch the Tranny!

[korovamilkdud]

So here's the d.o.-

My amp came with a 220 volt plug like they use in Europe. I use a step-down transformer to convert it to 110 volts.

Now I know this isn't ideal for powering guitar amplifiers. So what I want is a clue as to how to convert the plug, amp, cable, whatever; to 110 volts (like everything else here).

Anyone who knows how to do this please share, I'm tired of the stupid tranny.

Iīm assuming a tube amp??

In that case: take it to a tech and be prepared to lay down a 3 digit sum... this is by far not the smallest mod you can do .. the entire power transformer has to be replaced along with a few other tweaks that need to be done to accomodate for the different line frequency and such...

What kind of amp is it? (A longshot) But you may have a 110 tap on
the power tranny? I'd have to see a schematic. A Tech would just have to rewire it.

IF it has a 110 tap on the PT.. most Marshalls and Mesas for ex. donīt IIRC

Most amplifiers dont, you have to be damn luck to get one that does and does not advertise it as being switchable.
