Members separanets Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have a Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Recording and on its rear panel it says 230V, while here we use 220V power supply. I need to know how much it will affect the tubes (filament and plate voltages) if I plug it into 220V. Or I still need a 220/230 step up transformer. Thanks.

Members Duesentrieb Posted April 19, 2011 Members Share Posted April 19, 2011 You will have less volts on the plates and filaments. Nothing to worry about though, volts go up and down all the time in a range of 5%, so you're within this range with a 230V transformer and a 220V supply.

Members separanets Posted April 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thank you VH4. I bought it cause it was new and (which is odd) was on sale in the store with warranty and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be it has been sitting in the shop forever. There was a single rectifier in a shop where I live for half the price since it had been sitting there for years.
