fretmeister Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Anyone know if the mains transformer on an LM2 is a simple internal switch job - or would I need a whole new transformer to swap from US to UK? ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 and secondary question... Is the amp part of a MB combo really just an LM2 - can it be swapped out with any other LM2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If memory servers there is no switch internally, its a little more convoluted, but search on talkbass for the answer (thats where I saw the question posed) The amp is the same in the combos but again IIRC the combo version casing doesnt have a lid, so if you whip it out you will expose its innards to the beer swilling morons.....

Uncle Balsamic Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) They have a jumper on the ICE Power 125ASX2 to switch from 115V to 230V. edit: Found a pic. It even has an ovelayed diagram - wonderful! [url="http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z187/UncleBalsamic/?action=view¤t=MARKBASSLMIIPOWERAMPJUMPERDETAILS.jpg"][/url] So, I think that's how it works, but I don't even own one of these. Please point out my mistakes if I'm wrong. Edited June 10, 2009 by Uncle Balsamic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disputing it wont work but that has different knobs, is a different colour and different outputs on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember where I got that pic and without an LMII I couldn't check. That talkbass thread looks very useful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
