- I suck, but nobody really notices
I got mine yesterday too, upon seeing this thread. Already have the GK MB200, but this I can leave in my upright gig bag.
This little amp costs less than the bag it will be kept in!

When I found the amp on their site, I read through the whole page and didn't see anything about voltage. They had the amp for half what I had seen it anywhere else. When I got the amp, it was 240V. When I reached out to them, they said I could return it, but I would have to pay shipping. Shipping back to them was more than I paid for the amp in the first place, so I kept it as a paperweight...as getting a voltage converter for it was nuts to me as it defeats the purpose of the portability of it...why buy a 4 pound voltage converter for a 1 pound amp?
It is what it is, and lesson learned. Because of how they handled it, I won't buy anything from them ever again. I sent them a screen shot of the product page and it not showing voltage on it anywhere. Their response back to me was something along the lines of "Thank you for pointing that out. We have updated the page." They weren't real interested in keeping me as a customer, and that's fine, but that was my first and only purchase from them. <shrug>

Mine arrived today, I played about 90 minutes with it, and I posted a review. I encourage anyone else who got one of these off of Amazon to add their own pics and review to this thread:

I didn't need one anyways. I've got my Gnome I.
Y'all need to stop buying these so I can get my second one for my crazy loud electronic noise project. 
Played on and off for about 5 hrs. NO MAGIC SMOKE!
Sounds reallygood thru my RS2X12.
Got mine. Definitely a great catch. Now, may its service life be measured in years and not months.
I received mine and used it on upright at a gypsy jazz gig last night. Pairing it with an 8 ohm Darkglass 1x12 it was decent but not great. I wasn't getting much volume out of it and had to set the gain and master both past noon to keep up with all of the guitars. It definitely got hot by the end of 3 hours but didn't shut off or anything. I'll use it later this week on an electric jazz jam with the same cab, I think it will probably work better for that purpose. I think I'd like it better if it could push 200w at 8 ohms or I had a small 4 ohm cab (uncommon, I know). All in all I'm happy with it for a backup amp or something to throw in the gig bag for quieter rehearsals. I doubt I'll try to gig with it again.
