Do the Webb amps have variable voltage ? I am in Australia where everything runs off 240v . Does the Webb run only at 110v ? |

Brendan, Des Heatherington has a Webb 614 over here in NZ so I will check with him to see if it's a 240v version, or whether he has to use a step-up transformer. _________________ 14'Zumsteel Hybrid D10 9+9

Hi Brendon. My Webb 614E has no external power transformer in it, it just plugs straight in to a 240volt 3 pin power socket, we run on the same voltage here in NZ. someone has added a switch on the back of mine , dont ask me what it dose cause i havnt figured it out yet, lol but its a old style chicken head knob that clicks between 25/50/100. mabe its a voltage regulator im not sure i just leave it 100, The Webb is a fantasic sounding amp, Hope this is of some help to you,, Cheers, Des Hetherington _________________ Rains SD10 4 pedals 5 Levers, webb 614E,Goodrich Vol |

I have one of the new Bradshaw Webb amps which runs at 110 volts. I have been using an external voltage converter transformer for the amp to use the UK 240 volts. However, I am fixing to get my amp's internal transformer changed to one that runs on 240 volts.
As Des Hetherington has attested, the Webb amp is just a wonderful piece of kit - particularly the new Bradshaw version. _________________ Show Pro D10 - amber (8+6), MSA D10 Legend XL Signature - redburst (9+6), Sho-Bud Pro 111 Custom (8+6), Emmons black Push-Pull D10 (8+5), Zum D10 (8x8), Hudson pedal resonator.

although my Webb 614E is an original webb with the open back, it still sounds fabulous, Im not familiar with the new Bradshaw Webbs with the losed cabinet, but i presume they are as good.. cheers b Des Hetherington. _________________ Rains SD10 4 pedals 5 Levers, webb 614E,Goodrich Vol |
