Just get a different wall wart. That's not an advantage. What if you can't find that special version of wall wart in the country you happen to be in when it breaks? How long will it take you to find it or special order it? It's fairly easy to design an internal power supply that supports all international power systems and put a standard IEC connector on it for the AC cable. Then when you travel you just need to find the commonly available IEC cable that matches that region. These are used on most computers and electronic gear, so it will be easy to find wherever you are. It's pretty normal for musicians to travel to other countries with their gear, so it should likewise be normal for the gear to be designed with traveling in mind. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
