Yeah,
Im in Adelaide, so that works out well :) Cheers.
I got a wiring diagram from Brent Averill - looks like a soldering job - I really should learn one of these days.

Thanks guys.

crikey you got a wiring diagram from a manufacturer! Unheard of service these days. ( sorry...i'm just a bit cynical today after repairing a digi 192, with that manufacturer not willing or able to provide any info at all )

swing past and assuming there is an dual primary transformer in there, the swap to 230V should be a snack

Hey Rob,

Squire?

I also spoke to Evan about it - we are recording half our album with him at Broadcast -
Brent Averill were quite helpful - replied straight away - you wouldn't think considering I didn't buy a brand new one - nice them I guess. They just shot me through a wiring diagram.

I ended up getting a guy at my work to do it (he works on whitegoods etc...) pretty easy soldering job. He also put a switch on it as well so i don't have to turn it off at the wall.

All working lovely - although the rack is looking lonely with just a purple biz.

Cheers mate.

Yep - we did drums and guitars and bass and piano there with EV - we did vocals, strings through my mates JLM's - think they are 1073 clones - sound pretty warm!

Going back to mix soon. It's sounding really nice
