To run a 110-120V Tube Driver on 220-240V mains power, use a step-up voltage converter.

Conversely, if you plug a Tube Driver with a 220-240V transformer meant for the Eurpoean market into a 110-120v outlet, it will only draw 1/4 the power it needs and may not function properly. It will draw 4x the power it needs, causing it to overheat and damage the circuit. DO NOT plug a Tube Driver made with a 110-120V transformer into a 220-240V power outlet. Later some Tube Drivers and Real Tubes were made for the European market with transformers that ran on 220-240VAC. The original Tube Drivers were made with transformers that run on 110-120VAC for the North American market. TUBE DRIVER POWER REQUIREMENTS - Most Tube Drivers have an internal transformer that works with the mains voltage of the country it was made for. I have a very strong feeling that nothing is going to change about the fuzz/dist stomps in the future. Adding still more sarcasm: This in a company who haven't implemented more of the expression pedals functions, because they don't want to use a way that may look as if it is coming directly from the 80s. this might, however take a couple of years to dial in (as long as it took for the KPA family to come up with half a decent vibe tone). Let me be a bit sarcastic here: with the right combination of the KPA's fuzz or distortion boxes, a proper pre stomp and post stomp eq and a well chosen shaper stomp you can simulate almost any pedal there is on the market. Gilmour has 3 of these with him live and as a coinaisseur of tone he might do this because the pedal gives him something amps alone don't give him. Would like to see that in the Kemper, even though I understand that the Kemper may not be meant as an all-in-one box in the same way as Helix and other products.Ĭongrats. Helix seems to have this and even a Klon-model, which is one of the more popular types of pedal these days. Saw Gilmour in Royal Albert Hall last week, and now I'm wanting it even more.
