Oops, forgot about that bit. Anyway there's a 110v version too, it's called Playtech GPA-100, but maybe it's a bit more expensive.
And I seem to recall a discussion (on tgp maybe) where someone said there's a switch inside to convert the harley benton to 110-120v... Maybe @pipelineaudio can tell you a bit more

Got a pre-amp pedal from Russia, an incoming modeler from the Ukraine, my picks and EQ pedal are from England, my strap Italy, got a spare guitar from Sweden, and my last modeler was from Finland.
I just wanted a simple little pedal amp for the rig.......

I was emailing with the dealer and he confirmed it'd need a converter for the US so we cancelled the order. In planning for it I figured out how to free up an extra rack shelf anyway so it's all good. Thanks again.

Open it up, there's a set of solder pads. There's one that says 120v, do a solder bridge or wire between the two pads and it works with US power. I think its been more than a year now, working great.
It was incredibly frustrating for HB who seems to sort of pretend they made this product not to know this when I emailed them.

Why would anyone create anything that cannot accept universal power in this day and age I wonder. It’s not as though the cost to the manufacturer would be hugely different. Could it be they want people to have to buy two units?

They did, its just that when HB rebranded it, they didn't bother to even read the literature the original manufacturer provided.Why would anyone create anything that cannot accept universal power in this day and age I wonder.

I guess I meant I think global power requirement needs should be fulfilled without requiring people to solder anything or potentially void their guarantee (warranty) to enable this.

That makes sense! I think with the regular Ice Power stuff (which I think someone from this forum found that this particular amp is) its usually the solder pads. But I've seen some products where this was accomplished with a switch, not sure how much more that would cost
