soz outta my price league but where did you get the amp converted to uk voltage?

 

[Random Hero]

I'll answer for him since he doesn't seem to be around. The amp used to be mine, and the guy I got it from had the conversion done.

 

[mesanomad100]

how much do you guys rekon a mesa tech would charge for this conversion to be done over here in the uk

 

[treelifeUK]

I need to know the very same thing (leeds) Come back with the info please.

 

[Random Hero]

No idea, £50?

The transformer itself would be £200-£300 i'd presume.

 

[mesanomad100]

Random hero,do you think £50 for his time and skill,sounds reasonable but approx. £200-£300 for a transformer,thats a heck of a lot of money,I may just sell her and buy a crate gx2x12" hahaha,could get one of those tone blasting babies,(hint of sarcasm)

hehehe

cheers I know a local guy called Dennis Marshall,he is absolutly amazing,does all the mesa tech for westside distribution,the distributor for mesa,he also has his own array of pro amps
emerson williams is his company,he has been in the us a bit recently had a stall at namm,go check these bad boys out

 

[Random Hero]

I wouldn't say £50 is extortionate, but I wouldn't really know. The transformer is expensive - you could just get a Step Down Transformer if you plan on buying a US amp?

 

[mesanomad100]

I already bought a new dual rec(in purple suede) from the US,I then bought a step down transformer from Maplin,it isnt any good because as I turned the amp up to say about 4 on the master volume the amps fuse blew,so I think it is because the transformer is rubbish,Im gonna buy a really decent one by a company called newmarket,its a 2000watt one so that should take care of ALL my boogiein needs,they cost about £80,should run great but now all I have to track down is the huge 4amp sloblow american fuse,do you know where I could get them....online

cheers Random Hero

You bought it off someone who didn't know what it was worth and got lucky then...even if you converted that to $USD at the worst rate this year (almost 2:1)....at $900 you'd only find a handul of those deals here in the US...and the US is much cheaper than the UK for Dual Rectos....supply more plentiful here too.

You got an absolute steal! Pics and proof please

Got this from Newmarket transformers. 01271 879360
This is for running a US model in the UK. A step down transformer.

"When choosing a transformer you need to know the wattage of the
equipment that you want to use it with. The transformer must be of a
higher wattage than the equipment. It does not matter how low the
wattage of the item is as long as the transformer is higher. You could
use a 2000 watt transformer for a variety of houshold items including
say a radio rated as low as 15 watts. When running two items
simultaneously you need to ensure that their combined wattage does not
exceed the wattage of the transformer." the 2000 watt model (overkill, really) is around £70.00
