Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue - Power Transformer Q...

Post by cadsy48 »

Hi everyone :)

First post so nice to be here! Was hoping someone might be able to answer a question.

I live in Australia and have a USA spec (110v) blues deluxe reissue. I want to swap the power transformers over to our 240v spec, but does anyone know if its as simple as removing one and putting in the other, or are the circuits slightly different on export models making things more complicated?? Also, is it difficult to change the power cord to an Australian spec one? ( I know i can buy a converter plug, but I'd like to know anyway :P )

Any info is appreciated cheers :)

As long as the secondary voltages are within spec to the amp I wouldn't think you have to change anything else, maybe the pilot light depending what kind it uses.

I'm not sure but you might want to check first if your power supply is domestic or export. If you're lucky it'll be export and you can reconfigure it easily. The domestic power supply part is 0036958000 and the export is 0047395000. I'll check on my own amp later on.
