Mesa Boogie D-180 - help !

Hello everyone
I have Mesa Boogie D-180 bass amp 200W and it is only for 120V/60Hz voltage. The problem is, that I´m living in Europe - Czech Republic and we have 230, 240V/50Hz. So I want to buy stepdown converter from 240, 230V/50Hz to 120V/60Hz. How wattage is requirement for Mesa Boogie D-180 Amp? Help me search this equipment. Thank you everyone for ideas and help and sorry my horrible "czech" english; -))
 
My early production Mesa D-180 has factory labeling that states 600 watt/110 volt power consumption, (next to the power cord) and also states its corect fuse is rated for 6-1/4 amps. These numbers are both giving you the info you need for getting the right converter.

Just make sure your 110 volt step down converter's Wattage and/or Amperage specifications are at least equal to, or preferably a bit higher than the specifications printed on your amp.

Some amps can be internally converted for use with 220-240 voltage. I'm not sure if yours can or not.

(edit) I found some info on converting Mesa's to 220-240 volt:
