Dear All,
I am happy to join the Boogie Family.
I own the TC-50 head purchased in the US. Now I am living abroad where 220V is needed. I would like to know if I could replace the main transformer with the adequate one for Europe and Asia ? Anyone could suggest where to look at ? Is Mercury Magnetic could help me out for that ? I am currently in Italy and most of the time based in Thailand. If anyone was in this situation with this Amp, I will be more than happy to have your input.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Re: Transformer for the TC-50
Being such a new amp I would think it would be very hard to find an aftermarket export power transformer.WickedToneProduction wrote:Dear All,

Have you checked the product listing at Mercury Magnetics? If they make it, they will list it.
You could also look at step-down transformers, which would lower the source voltage to 120V for the amp. Just stay away from very cheap units designed for solid state equipment.
