Hello everyone!
I am currently trying to convert this Fishman Loudbox Artist from 240 V to 120 V. So far I have removed the jumper on the power circuit from the 240 V section to the 120 V section.
Does anyone know if I need to change any wiring on the transformer or if I am OK to go ahead and send power to the amplifier?
Does anyone have a schematic specific to the Loudbox Artist?
Has anyone successfully converted theirs from 120 V to 240 V? Or vice versa, as I am trying to do?
On my old Fishman Loudbox 100, there was simply a switch on the back that could run voltages from different grids depending on where you were in the world. This is why I am thinking I do not need to rewire the transformer!

I believe that is correct. Don't forget to change the fuse to specified value for 120V operation.
Hi! I have just bought a Loudbox Mini which operates on 120v and I change it to 240v . Do you think this is the same process but reversed ?
Remove W2 and install W1 be sure to install the correct type and value of fuse. (Should be in the manual) Be careful, follow good electrical safety protocols and remember you do so at your own risk.
Thanks for replying ... I did not open the amp yet so I was not sure if the mini had the same PCB as the Artist. From the schematics someone added to this forum it looks like there is a spst but maybe it'is just that jumper wire configuration.
It might be different so disregard my comment which was aimed at the Artist not the mini. You'll have to open it up to know for sure that it can be changed.
It looks like the same circuit so same solution should work. For soldering the jumper wire I will requiere technical expertise so I am going to take the amp to a proper technician.
Thanks for the help.
