Title: Laney LX35 - 110 v to 220 ?
Post by: walrus123 on March 17, 2010, 09:07:57 AM
Hi there,

I just bought a Laney LX35 (30 watt amp). I got it in the US, but I'm goint to use it on South America, where the voltage is 220v.

I've read here that I can probably open it and change some simple wiring of the transformer to make it 220v compliant. also I read that I should somehow change the fuse.

I have Ok soldering skills but close to none electronic knowledge, could someone give me a hand with this? Will be vary grateful... I've got a gig tonite and it would be great to find a simple and easy way to fix this.


thanks!

Short answer: you can't.
Your chinese transformer only has a 120V primary.
