alexclaber Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Might be a long shot since the sell-out but you could try emailing SWR to find out if that serial no. is for a US or European model. I do find it hard to believe that an amp that old could be in this country and not be a 230V model, unless someone immigrated with it and then left it in their attic for years.

If it works then it's a 110V model. If it doesn't then it's either a 240V model or dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A 240V model will probably also work on 110V, it'll just have less gain and only one quarter the maximum power output! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Aural Enhancer' didn't really do anything, and although the tone was always fine, I found it to be a tad woolly (mostly played a Stingray 2EQ through it) There were some differences to yours - mine did not have the SWR logo on the centre of the speaker, and the model was spelt 'Bassic Black' IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
