Amp power question

[Tihi]

Greetings!

I'm in a position to buy an Gallien-Krueger 700RB. But the problem is that it is an american amp (120 volts/60 Herz) and I live in Europe where we have 220v/50 Hz power.
How difficult would be to rearange the amp to our power?
Is it recommendable?

Thank you!
Tihi

Contact the manufacturer. There's a good chance it uses a dual primary transformer that can be reconfigured for 220. If it does not have this feature do not buy it, altering it will be a major/expensive job.

Thanks Bill!

I've send an Email to GK, waiting for a response.
The product manual says:

"Your new 700RB series amp has been factory configured for use with:
- 120 Volt/60 Hz 20 Amp circuit for USA & Canada.
- 230 Volt/50 Hz 10 Amp circuit for Europe & Australia.
- 100 Volt/50 Hz 20 Amp circuit for Japan.
- Proper AC circuit for all other countries.
..."

They don't say if that are different model of 700RB, or all in one Amp.
