Hi there Juan and welcome. I would not advise you to buy this amp. This amp has a complicated circuit design and uses tubes that are not readily available. From my point of view, as an old amp tech, the maintenance is an important consideration. I almost bought one of these myself, but after doing some research, decided against it. Given your location, I'd pick a more mainstream amp. The Fender Twin Reverb is good, but Peavey also makes high powered combo tube amps that are very solidly built. Art
