This is useful on most vacuum tube amps from China. Most are rated 220V even though they state can be used on 240V UK. Measure your internal heater voltage and it will be typically 6.8v for regular tubes and if you are running something like 845's much higher. This shortens the life of the tube a lot and stresses the other components leading to failure.
This was made for a 845 china made amp to drop the UK voltage 20V. It is suitable for any pre-amp and even the big 300B/ 845 power amps etc. It works different to a step down isolation transformer so don't let the size fool you. You can make your own quite easy if you have a suitable transformer. UK plug and regular iec on the end.
