Step Down Transformer Question

[schweigc]

Hello, Sorry if this has been asked before. I am on my way to Korea from the US. Can the Crack + Speedball wired for 120VAC be used with a plug in step down transformer? And if so what would be the ideal wattage?

When I thought I was going to Korea a couple of years ago, I considered rewiring with 240 but I am only going to be there a year or so and I am reluctant to anything to change the sound I have come to rely on.

Thanks,
Chris

Transformers are rated in Volt-Amps.  Or kVA, thousand Volt-Amps.  You will need about 0.5 kVA for crack.  You want a 240V/120V transformer.  If you buy a transformer with no plugs or jacks on it you don't need to worry, a 2:1 transformer will do.

If you don't understand that, just ignore it.

0.050 kVA will do (50VA), 100VA will be a bit more versatile.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I can't wait to put "Crack" and "Speedball" on my customs declaration.
