Do Orange TB 500 amps come in different variants for 230 and 240V?

[eyvindwa]

The Orange Terror Bass have the following squares on the outside of the box it comes in, of which one is checked/ticked: 110V, 115V, 230V, 240V. Are there really different variants of the amp for all of these voltages? Specifically, I'm interested in if there is a real difference between the 230V and 240V marked versions. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I doubt there's much difference except for some wiring and the type of fuse, it seems it's also possible to change voltage easily. Orange Amps Forum • View topic - Terror bass 500 - 110v to 220v power supply

Yes, I am aware of that. However, none of the existing posts seem to address the 230V / 240V question.

There is a slight difference.... but it probably doesn't matter.

My understanding is that mains voltage is not precise and constant so appliances are designed to work within a range of voltages around the marked voltage.

In the USA, 220V has a different plug from the 110V outlets on the wall. I can't say for sure, but the wall outlet for 230V may be different from the 240V outlet in the type of plug used.

10V isn't a problem at all.
I remember the times we had 220V, and one day they raised it up to 230V - not the slightest problem with any kind of electric device.

I have a Furman Power Conditioner in my rack (where I can see the voltage) and I had gigs with something under 220V and once even 240... No problem there.

10V doesn't really matter. In my place we have 230V and I used 240V amps that I got from UK with no problems.
