I have an electrical question and hope someone could help because I know nothing about this sort of thing.
I'm a professional guitarist and one of my main pieces of gear died, an old 70s tape-echo. Anyway, they were made in the UK and mine was one of the export models made for the US so it runs on normal US 110v power.
Anyway, since mine died, I had to find a replacement but the only one that I found that was in mint shape was a UK 220-240V model. I bought it anyway.
I also purchased a 500watt step up-step down transformer. My question is, will using it to power my British-made device be too much and trip the breaker? I can't afford to be tripping breakers at every gig because of my equipment.
I must admit I'm a little afraid to try it when it arrives because I don't want to ruin the machine or worse, electrocute myself. Any help would be much appreciated.
