Found an amp that says 240 volts!
It didnt have a power cord, and I guess I see why. Its a Fender, but back by the cord jack it says 240 volts!
Can I run this using normal 110 voltage? It powers on but I am scared to play it! Any info would be great! Can I play it? Its a 30 watt Solid State amp!

Don't plug it into a 110 volt supply unless there is a power adjustment on the amp to change voltages and you have changed it to 110~120 volts.

What model amp? Some were made to be run on multiple voltages, but you migh have to go inside the amp to change it.

If you bought it stateside I'm guessing it has already been modified for 120Vac. I don't believe you can damage a solid state amplifier by running at half-voltage. If you hear switching distortion on the output while playing, which sounds like fuzziness at low volume, that'll tell you it is still wired for 240Vac.

It turns out, it was already converted for 110v!
It is a Fender Champion 30! And it actually sounds pretty darn good for SS!
