    What are you using now? Most pedals are ok on a onespot type, you could be best just picking up a 240v/110v capable one.

    A step-down transformer is what you need. They're about the size of a car battery and weigh almost as much as an SVT.

    Yeah, I'd be looking for a 220v 1-Spot or two, too ;)

    A stepdown big enough to drive an SVT would be that sort of size but one to drive a few pedals isn't a big deal.

    I have a Godlyke 9V supply which runs on anything from 100 to 240V but it hums on some of my pedals. Choose well.

    Thank You ... So basically purchase a Godlyke or 1-spot and naturally add and adapter to for the UK
