Hi there

I bought an X2 in UK.

If I went to USA, would it work there? Could I use just a travel plug UK to USA?

Or do I need something else?

Regards
friendl

A transformer to step down from 230 to 120V.

It's an amp. A high powered device built for a different mains power. I don't think you can treat it the same as a hairdryer and just swap plugs.

We can't use US built amps in Aus without buying a proper transformer - not a plug. Our voltage is the same as yours.

A step down transformer should be all you need but bear in mind that the UK also uses 50Hz rather than 60Hz so its well worth checking.
