Hey guys!
So I was planning to buy that smoken Super-Sonic, but there's that little thing. I live in Europe and our voltage is totally different over here. It says Super-Sonic's voltage is 120V, and here it's like over 200V, so I'm wondering if it would affect my amp in any way and if, is there any way to prevent that?
Cheers, Marcin

If you're referring to the Super Sonic 22 combo, you'll need Fender P/N 2160006000 (black) or P/N 2160006400 (blonde) for use with 230V/50Hz European line voltage.

Yeh! don't be silly. You will possibly (most likely) damage your amp running the incorrect mains Voltage and Hz. I had the same issue when looking to buy the SuperSonic Twin from the US (and I live in South Africa). My solution was to fork out a little extra cash and buy from a country that uses the same/simmilar Mains ratings as me. Hence I imported my SS from the UK. Now I am certain I won't be damaging my amp. Fender supplies these amps to Europe with the correct transformers installed, but I guess you are trying to bypass the high prices in Europe by importing from US. If you buy one from the US the only solution I see would be to iether buy the correct Transformer for your region or to have a step down transformer made up to supply the one inside the amp. But both will be costly.

Its the part number of the amp you need to buy with the correct transformer for your part of the world and the colors it is available in.
