USA MarkIVb in Italy: voltage/current converter?

[blastomorpha]

I scored a MarkIVb on eBay from USA last week, thanks to the infamous volcano ashes covering north EU skyes I have still to wait some days before playing it. So, here in Italy we have voltage at 220V@50Hz while in USA they have 110V@... don't know.
Sure I have to buy an external voltage converter or something, but i only know that MarkIVb (mine is one from the first rev.b batch, a "transitional") power output is about 85W right?
What more do I need to know?








I want my Mark soon...

Yes, the natural disaster delay. I saw that. Makes the wait just a little longer.
The Mark IV is rated at 117v.
Small world isn't it. I sold you that amp.

85w is the output power. you need to check the power that your amp absorbs when in use. i think you should go for a 500w step down transformer.

I liv in Denmark and we have the same voltage as in Italy.

I called up the boogie dealer and had a talk , basicly my c+ draws around 300 volts max when pushed hard so a 500 watt step down will be just fine.

I also have a mk4 simul sat amp that uses the same tranny as your mk4 , and another 500 w step down for that one and the sound is HUGE and powerfull.

As long as the step down have enourgh juice its just as good as with a us outlet.
