Good day everyone... I am moving to the UK for a few years and want to take my GDec with me... Will my GDec work in the UK or do (can) I get another power supply for it? Thanks Felix

Felix,

According to the G-Dec 30 Manual I looked at the power supply is only good for 120v, 60 Hz. The UK model is listed at 230v, 50 Hz. Check your manual or look near where the power cord plugs in for power requirements. If your G-Dec only supports 120v, 60 Hz don't plug it in (can you spell smoke/flames).

It looks like you have three options unless you are compatible:

A) As you said, get another power supply. This may not be possible as some of the power supply components may be mounted on the same circuit board as the rest of the electronics.

B) Buy a power converter once you get to England. Note that you need to
convert both the voltage (230v ==> 120v) and the frequency (50Hz ==> 60Hz). Be sure that the converter provides enough power (expressed in watts) to run the G-Dec. If you plan to power more than one device at a time you may want to take an AC strip or two with you.

C) Since you'll be there for a while you might consider selling the amp here and buying a new one once you relocate.

Good Luck - Doug
