We bought a new guitar and amp pack for my son on e-bay and it shipped
with an amp rated at 230V, 50-60Hz and a European plug. Is this safe
to use in the UK and will it work in the same way?

Yes. It can be used in this country, just swop the european plug for a
suitable UK plug, or buy a European to UK convertor.

UK mains is 230 volt, 50 Hz.

Thanks - I always thought it was 240V.

It was made common with Europe a few year back.

Nothing changed!

The spec is now 230v +10% / -6%

So legally our supply can be anything between 226.2v and 253.0v




And even if its lower it can be a pig getting the electrical powers that
be to do anything about it!....
