This may be a stupid question.

If I was to buy a Boss pedal(for example) in america would I be able to use it back home in England or would I have to have it fiddled with to make it usable?

The same question applies to the Electo Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man pedal would this be in need of being changed.

thanks

    I beleive if you use the right adapter (correct voltage and amperage, along with correct plug for whatever country) it doesn't matter where you use them. If you use a battery, then hell you could use it on the moon if you wanted.
    Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference. I'm not trying to make a difference. I'll stop trying to make a difference. No way!

    Pretty much all electric guitar gear is universal, the only thing different between different locales is AC power supply. If you wanted an AC adapter for FX bought in the States, you'd have to find an adapter that would use the same plug and same voltage you get at home.

    Or you could get a power supply that has interchangable plugs and volt-ratings, like the Dunlop Power Brick.

    Besides that, it's all just 1/4-inch plugs (dunno what that is in mm.) and 9-volt batteries.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
