FWIW: I used to own a US made spring reverb that was designed for 110 
volts but some bozo had just switched the plug for a european one and it 
still kept going. It wasn't rewired inside but seemed to cook the 
components beyond their limits so I chose to run it through a step-down 
converter.

WT has changed from 110 to 220 in a few. Let's see what he has to say. I 
have removed the black plates on mine too to rack fit it so if you don't 
get any luck from other members, drop me a line...
