Skezza Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) If you buy a Markbass amp in the states can you have it reset to uk voltage when you come over here skez Edited December 19, 2011 by Skezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Yep, there's a jumper, (helpfully marked 110/240) on the board. Well, you can on a LMIII, anyway - I've done it on that one. Takes about 5 mins, and most of that is getting the cover on and off. Don't forget to change the fuse, too. It's a bum-clenching moment switching it on for the first time, tho...

stingrayPete1977 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Im not sure why the Mark Bass requires a fuse change? The Genz doesn't. I should know this as a sparky Im trying to calculate it in my head but the Genz at pulls a maximum of 3.63 amps at 110V (I presume the MB will be similar?) which works out as 1.73 at 230V. I cant get my head around the fuses characteristics at different voltages or if an amp is an amp as far as the fuse is concerned so a T5A fuse (which is fitted) would be fine for both if a little high for the UK market? Any experts out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
