Im in the UK and i just received a Mark IVB Short head for $900

So is that enough to run it?

It should be fine.If you consider you have a 3amp fuse for a 120v line,if the amp were to draw more than 360watts for more than a couple seconds the fuse will blow,so the 750watt step down is okay,it sounds like overkill,but doubling the watts capability is a good safety margin,it is likely the amp could draw more than 360watts briefly on initial start-up,that is why it uses a slo-blo fuse.

you can use the step down transformer,but it wont last long.

What stokes said.Twice the amp watts will be good.
