a technical question

[nudedragon]

Hello,

I live in Europe and as you know we are using 220 Volts to power these monsters. I bought a mark V combo from US that uses 110 Volts and I am using an external adaptor . Is there a way to switch my onboard power supply to 220 Volts.

any succestions?


thank you very much.

I believe this would require an output transformer swap

Probably a power transformer, no?

Im sure you could get a 220v power supply, maybe even from Mesa though this wouldnt be essential, and get it replaced in your amp, either that or maybe an aftermarket one with witchabe voltages and get that fitted, cant see it being an issue but it will be expensive!

Not obvious.. Some companies make replacement for the Output transformer but I would bet that none have produce an input transfo specially with the feature allowing to switch to FULL or VARIAC. Not sure that MESA would have that for 220V. I'd say just buy a 220V to 110V stepdown transformer.

Mesa makes export versions of their amps. Give them a call, I'm sure they will be willing to help, their customer service is excellent.

I'm sure the export power transformer will require installation by a Mesa certified tech in your area.

Would a variac work?
