Voltage converters to take from US to England for Gigs

[Darhgo]

Hello!

My vocal group is going to be heading off to England here soon for some shows, and we have 4 line 6 floor effects pedal units we use in our show.

I need to convert the voltages, obviously.

can i just use any travel converter, or will those introduce noise into the system? if not, what would you recommend?

Thanks!

Charlie

You can get something like this transformer. It has selectable 110/220 inputs and puts out 110 and 220.

Look up the voltage, total current draw + switched mode power supply or SMPS and see what you can find! For 9V I recommend the One Spot.

thanks guys, we are using m9s. our onsite engineer suggested that anything that is rated for a laptop should work.

that first link definitely looks heavy duty though! i'm going to check that out!

this is our first foray into international shows, and we're indie, so it's been a bit of a logistical challenge.

If its just the effects - they don't draw much current... you can use a standard travel converter without a struggle. If your travel converter can handle a hair dryer it'll be able to handle your effects units without breaking a sweat.

Yes, it is just the effects.
