LewisK1975 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Looks like it says 230v on the label. Would make sense as Portugal's standard electricity supply voltage is 220-240v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 So it can be used safely in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I'd say Yes, this is on their FAQ's: [url="http://www.markbass.it/support.php#panel6"]Can I use my Markbass amp in countries with different voltages?[/url] [color=#333333][font=Oswald, sans-serif][size=4]No! Your amp/combo was manufactured to be sold and used in the country of purchase, and is factory preset to that country's voltage. If you use it in a country with a different voltage without using a power converter, it will not work and may be seriously damaged.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Oswald, sans-serif][size=4][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]So the voltage would be the same, maybe ask MarkBass themselves via email? I don't know what their response time is like, mind you.[/font][/size][/size][/font][/color] Edited December 12, 2016 by LewisK1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) This query happens at least 4 times a year due to the MB disclaimer which is really only to stop UK/EU residents importing cheap MB stuff from the USA where the voltages are 'mark'edly different! In fact it is possible to even change a US voltage to UK, (see Youtube) but European voltages work right across Europe.... Obviously MB would rather their Importers to each Country got the sales rather than pan European or even transatlantic imports.
