Hi everyone, I have a Marshall Valvestate 8080 bought in England that I have now in the US. I've been using a voltage converter with it but it made the amp really noisy (hum and such) before it blew up.
Now I'm trying to find out if it's possible to rewire the power transformer to make it work here properly without any external stuff.
I found a pic of the same amp that shows the transformer of a canadian unit and the wiring is different from mine.
On the board I can read where I should solder the different cables according to their color, but on the back of the board they seem to be connected to other colors, I don't think this is clear enough, maybe with the pics...
My question is, will it work if I just wire it as the canadian one and change the fuse to match the voltage?
What bothers me is seeing that in the back of the board the purple and yellow are connected in between them, and the same thing with the orange and red.
Thanks so much!!!!
