Devo Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 Hi folks, looking for some usefull URLs to get me started on changing my US carvin amp to UK power supply. Looking for any helpful URLs or hints from the amp builders amongst us. Im tired of lugging my 110v Transformer around... as if the amp wasnt heavy enough! Steve Quote
KeithHowell Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 Does your amp not have a switch internally to swith the transformer primary coil to 220v? If not you will have to change the transformer for a 220v primary version which is probably more trouble than it is worth. Keith Quote
ansil Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 no switch.. there is another way. either mount a secondary 1:1 transformer that will supply your amp. or mount it in a box. i got a nice 1:1 power transformer that was ridiculous. it was like a 10A at 240v or 5A at 120v either way. worked nice on my old amp i got it for free but it was marked at 50usd here but you can get them pretty cheap beats the 125usd that hammond wanted.
