Ok, I'll contact them & see what they say.

Sorry to be reviving this thread - but i'm in a similar position (currently living in Japan/100v, and may at somepoint move back to Europe/230v).

Did the jumper-switch work? did the amp function normally thereafter, or were there fireworks?

The labelling on the version I have is very adamantly saying "100V only operation", but the circuitboard looks the same, including the 115/230 jumper

Thanks in advance to anyone who could confirm

Dead easy. Moved the jumper as outlined above and works perfectly.

Thanks for this confirmation. I'll ping GK just in case, and will report back if/when I hear from them too

Reporting back after checking with GK tech support directly, in case someone else looks for the same info in the future.

The confirmedt that the Japanese version, like the US one, can be converted using just this jumper. The MB-500 can also be converted in a similar way.

Happy days
