No, generally they use their own native power supplys, but the stage crew
runs either generators or heavy-duty poer transformers.
But what about all

The best way to do this is if you're touring, specify in your contract
rider that you need adequate voltage convertors for your equipment (after
all, without the power, you can't play!). Either that, or leave your gear

always sys-Ex transfer your patches with a laptop computer or a hardware
sequencer.
