Does anyone have an experience with running American Amplifier in India ?

As the topic implies, I am looking for suggestions to run a US made amplifier in India.

Amp's Rating = 110v/60hz . Fuse 1 A SLO BLO

Any information is appreciated.

 

american amps have a different volt and amp configuration....U can't use them in India as India has different hertz and volts configuration....

For using an american amp in India u've to buy a stepdown transformer of suitable range....u might have to change ur fuse too

Cheers

 

Thank you Chirag. I do understand that I would probably need a step down transformer. But I was not aware that I would need to change the fuse. Why would you think that a fuse change is required when the transformer would be supplying the correct voltage and current? It looks like most folks from here have not tried it.

 

see nik changing the fuse is also essential cuz..as I said US has higher volts and hz current compared to India....so they have higher rating fuses too....more higher rated the fuse is,the more heating it causes.....n if by any case therz any short curcit dn ur amp may be permanently get damaged and worse it may catch fire and destroy all other amps,mics,guitar pickups etc connected to the same curcit..so i advise u to change the fuse too....
Whats the use of fuse if it doesn't go off during a short curcit.#if u knw wat i mean

Cheers

 

nd btw electronic music items especially guitars,amps,mixers,footpedals and mics are delicate.....some more or less current would sink(damage) their ICs.....and they maybe gone forever..

 

I think you mean lower volts and higher hz.But Thanks for the info Chirag. Appreciate it. I guess I ll find out soon enough. I do have a couple of pedals which i got from US. They do run OK as long as the correct rating is sent to them. Just came to this forum to find if anyone had first hand experience.
