Step down transformer from ebay (obvb down to 110V)....

I have one for my Peavey Classic 50/50 Poweramp (US volatage) but because it's a 500w poweramp I needed a transformer of at least 500w, pref more - so my transformer is a hefty 850w capacity.

So firstly, determine the maximum power consumption of the amp (in Watts) and then find on eBay a transformer of at least 100w more than this...

My transformer is quite large, and weighs a massive 8Kg.... so you aren't looking at little plug adapters here!

Price wise you are looking at £40-£80 for the transformer and weight of 4-8kg. These are annoying to take with your amp - mine isn't because I have the poweramp rack mounted and the transformer shelf mounted on the rack below it - it's pretty heavy though!!

Hope that helps....
