Converting Voltage for American Guitar amp to Europe. HELP!?

Question

I have an Orange Crush 30R guitar amp and I need to take it to play shows in Europe in 2 weeks and cannot get a straight answer on what I will need to convert the power. There is no switch on the back of the amp (that i can see) but it does make a reference on the back to 0.68@115 Vac and 0.34@ 230 Vac. It also says elsewhere 115 Vac (60 Hz)/ 250 V T2a. Does anyone know what this means? Or know what kind of converter I will need. I would obviously like to avoid buying a transformer box if I don't need one. Thanks ;)

Answer 1

I would call Orange Crush first. From the writing on the back there is a possibility it has a "universal power supply." What this means is the amp will run on any voltage listed without any change. This is very particular to the amp and should not be assumed without checking. Short of that, http://www.magellans.com/ and search the word transformer. They have the adapter you need, 100 watt.

Answer 2

you do no longer say how plenty present day you prefer on the single thousand volts. Or do you advise the equivalent of 5x12=60 watts? that would desire to be 60/one thousand = 60 mA at one thousand volts, and taking under consideration losses in poorly designed kit, 30 mA. Or might you be happy with a million mA at one thousand volts, plenty extra handy. Assuming the 1st, you prefer a chopper circuit able to coping with 60 watts. i might use a pair of push-pull skill transistors on a warmth sink. power them with a 60 Hz source. Now you would be able to desire to wind your man or woman skill transformer, with 24 volts middle tapped because of the fact the widely used and one thousand volts (or extra) on the secondary. It desires to be rated at a minimum of 60 VA. i will help on the circuitry, yet transformer layout is complicated. edit, re the transformer, i might hit upon a transformer with 24VCT as a secondary, and eliminate the widely used, counting the turns. placed on a clean substitute winding of 12 situations as many turns of finer twine.
