uk voltage question about a european amp

Well, today I've just played with the amp using a European cable and a UK adapter and it works. Based on this, I think that I can use a UK cable of the sane type !

uk voltage question about a european amp

Thanks , I had read somewhere that the US version of this amp is built for 120 Volt. In mainland Europe, I've never used a transformer for this amp, just the black cable to plug it in to some electricity outlet. (picture above) My reasoning is that if bot the UK and EUrope have the same...

SOrry! It's the kind without lamps in, so yes it's transistor. (I thought that valve was transistor)

Maybe I'd be better off buying a European cable and just putting on an adapter for UK sockets in the wall. I can't believe that musicians have their amps rewired every time they tour in Europe. Or do they?

Ah that makes sense! It doesn't have a voltage selector, just a ground polarity switch: 0 + -

uk voltage question about a european amp

If we look at the picture, I know that the part of the cable with the 3 holes will fit into the amp. It's the right shape. Of course, 2 pins won't fit into a UK plug. I have bought a few cables like this off ebay and I hope the amp will switch on. If the voltage is the same in the UK as in...

Yes they make some that work on 120 volts, but those would be american. Mine is for the European market. I've used it in Europe for 10 years. In fact, I think that the real question is the difference between UK and Europe. Can I buy a UK lead (cable) and plug it into the amp? I've posted a...
