Hello everyone,
I am from Argentina, here we have 220/240 volts electricity. I have a Fishman Artist wire for 120 volts, I purchased new in the USA. Here in Argentina it works perfect with a step down converter. There is a power board that can be rewired with a jumper wire to switch voltage and change the fuse to 1amp, My question is, Is that all it needs to be done to work in 240 volts? Or It needs other electronics to be change? Did someone did this?

I live in the USA and I have the exact same amplifier that I bought when I was living in Belgium. Mine is wired for 240 V and I am trying to achieve the exact opposite of what you are doing. Here is what my transformer looks like. My question is, what order are your wires in at the harness/connectors? And what position are the blue brown black and white wires at the bottom of your transformer located? I think between my pictures and your pictures we can simply copy what we have and I can wire mine for 120 V and you can wire yours for 240 V!

OlDubya,
Yours has a 240V link in place, while juaneduardo's has the 120V link. The last image you've posted makes it very clear.
Looks to me like you could cut/remove the 240V link and join the 120V link and you'll be good to go.

Absolutely and thank you very much!
But, look at the difference in wiring positions from my transformer to the positions on his transformer.
Wouldn’t I have to reposition my wires in to the positions that are in his photo?

Update: it works! For the Fishman Loudbox Artist to work in 100v 120v or 240v operation, all that needs to be done is to remove the link and relocate and re-solder in the correct location and change the fuse to the correct value.
Mine was 240v from factory with the T1AL 250v fuse and I changed it to the T2AL 250v and moved the link to the 120v position and it works and sounds beautifully!
Thank you guys for your input and hope this helps!
