Where can I get a 240 volt Soldano power transformer?

[PassionForFrets]

Hello everyone
I am the proud owner of a Soldano SLO all thanks to the guitardude5:BEER(freakin awesome bloke)
instead of running a stepdown transformer I wanted to find out what would be the best choice for the right type of 240 volt power transformer to replace the current DeYoung transformer?

Hello.
Shinrock made such irons, but beware: He is frauding me for 170 euros.
Other than that I don't know.
Ciao

Contact the UK distributor for Soldano, which I think is Sounds Great in Manchester.

thanks guys :)
have emailed those 2 companies and shall await my answer. Always wondered why these amps and other's were not made for 240 volts as well as the american standard....anyways thanks again.

They are, if you buy a European export version.

But since probably 90% of the company's market is North America and Japan (also 110/120V), it makes sense not to increase the cost of those amps by fitting a more expensive multi-tap transformer.
