list of amps that have easily switched power 220/240 - 115/120

[pfschim]

So, other than some of the Eden amps and the Phil Jones stuff, can anyone here help me make a list of amps that are equipped with a simple voltage switch to go from US voltage 115/120 to Euro voltage 220/240 ?

I'll start

Eden
Phil Jones
and .......

[gmarcus]

Genz Benz Shutle

[agedhorse]

All Genz Benz amps are end user switchable.

[Stereo Joe]

Acoustic Image.

[Jerrold Tiers]

Ampeg SVT-8PRO...... You do nothing but find a plug that fits the wall. Universal input. Ditto for the little Crate and Ampeg class-D combos and head (not Porta-Bass). There are others, also.

Little Giant 1000 by Ashdown super cheap at Thomann in Germany. I know you are not a simple lightweight solid state head kinda guy though.

euphonic audio Micro550

ha! no, I am not, and I am going to get a US Walkabout converted to euro voltage (220-240) for my upcoming 2 year sojourn to Europe. But in the process of looking at amps that would work anywhere, I thought I'd ask, and I am not disappointed !

So the list of amps with easily switchable voltage reads:
(in no particular order)

• Eden (not sure that all models are capable)
• Phil Jones
• Orange
• Euphonic Audio Micro550
• Walter Woods
• Ashdown Little Giant 1000
• Ampeg SVT-8PRO (and some other ampeg units)
• Genz Benz (all models according to agedhorse, who should know )
• Acoutic Image

any others you want to add ?

TC Electronics heads switch automatically, too, maybe something to look at with your tonal preferences.

[KJung]

TecAmp Puma line of amps.

Just do yourself a favor and give a Genz Benz Shuttlemax a whirl! U might just fall in love!!!!!!

Ampeg B3 / B328 / B3158 combos are kinda plug and play, you just need to replace the fuse.

Manual says:
*FOR 100-120VAC, 50/60Hz: T5A, 250V
*FOR 220-240VAC, 50/60Hz: T2.5A, 250V

Careful there... not sure it works like that.

The Hartke LH500 and the LH1000 (possibly others models as well).

The current list of amps that have switchable voltage

• Eden (not sure that all models are capable)
• Phil Jones
• Orange
• Euphonic Audio Micro550
• Walter Woods
• Ashdown Little Giant 1000
• Ampeg SVT-8PRO (and some other ampeg units)

I hope you have a good lawyer, if this is what you are recommending.

My bad, look what it says under the AC socket:

"check you user manual for the correct voltage"

And just below that a sticker that says:

"230v"

I failed.
