SH73 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hi, before I electrocute myself I thought I ask a question.i bought a rack effect American version runs on 110 v and of course american plug. Would any step do n adaptor, UK to USA 230v -110 v work like this one thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yes, if the wattage is enough. This one says 45 W which isn't a lot, only 400 mA. If the unit's consumption is low, that still may be enough. Check the effect's specs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suburban Man Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If you have a multimeter worth checking earth continuity from amp to bass through the fx unit. The step-down unit is double-insulated, which is fine, but obvs it doesn't provide an earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't know how it would benefit if I check my current amps fx outputs? Unless I misread what you meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, on consideration, its a daft remark by me! (Based on a memory of old American gear that used a cheap auto-transformer to drop the 230v to 110v) So please ignore. I'll go and have a nap... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
