Question:
Coverting power for US Guitar amp in Europe?
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 ;)

Thanks for the answer. So I assume that if US is 110 and europe is 240 then 115-230 won't work? And what is a line conditioner? Thanks again.
Answers:
0.68@115 Vac and 0.34@ 230 Vac means it will work within that range of voltages. It would be a good idea to get a line conditioner to iliminate any possible humm. The backline guys should have that.
