Setting up from 110 volts 220 volts

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,
I live in Turkey. Markbass Little Mark Bass Amp Head Tube just bought from America. 110volt sold in the United States. In Turkey, the 220 ​​volts used. Is it possible to set the amplifier 220 volts? Waiting for who knows how to do this if you have comments. Thank you.

I don't think so after reading this from the manual:

Quote:
POWER REQUIREMENT 100V; 120V; 230V; 240V 50/60Hz

(Voltage is factory preset according to region of sale).

Markbass amps/combos are manufactured to be sold and used in the country of purchase, and are factory preset to that country’s voltage.

Due to homologation issues, the voltage may not be changed.
You are going to have to use a power converter to change the voltage from 220v to 110v.

There doesn't seem to be a switch you could use.

You could buy a Step Down Transformer for 220v to 110v, just make sure to get a good quality one and that is has a high enough capacity.

You could also see what Mark Bass suggest, but considering you can buy 220v models, I don't know what they'll say.

Just out of interest, why did you buy one for the USA? I think the prices are pretty similar between the US and Europe, especially seeing that MarkBass is an Italian company?
