trainreck on european voltages

Post by dmanzio »

Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and to the world of diy amps generally! I think of building a trainwreck and i would like to ask if i can make it work with 220 volts 50 hz here in Greece.
Thank you for yor time!

You need a power transformer that can be wired for 220/230V - 50 Hz.....
Some of the suggested X-formers for wrecks can be wired for 220 directly....
that's all there is to it - the rest is as pr original recipee...
