Nord Lead 2X 115v to 220v conversion

Egad, so many people ask about this!
This should be in the FAQs! A small table with models and fuse size according to voltages.

BTW, following on mjbrands details, the "slow-blow" fuses are also called "anti-surge" or "time delay" and should be labelled with a "T" in the metal cap. Make sure you buy one of that type. Otherwise you will be changing fuses more often, but for the wrong reason.

The existing fuse is a 6x32mm. The normal power is 25 Watts, according to the sticker on the back of the Nord.

The only place I could find that has the 150mA 6x32mm fuse is here - http://au.element14.com/littelfuse/0313 ... dp/1596726 - they're $2.99ea min order 10 (+GST & shipping from Singapore)
They've also got the 125mA 6x32mm fuse, but $6.78ea min order 10 http://au.element14.com/littelfuse/0313 ... dp/1596725

Austronics (http://computercables.com.au/) in Auburn (NSW Australia) apparently have 125mA fuses in stock $2.10ea.. so I think I'll go with that.. Can't be bothered paying at least $35 for more fuses than I need!

Thanks for the replies, WoutBlommers, mjbrands & Mr_-G-! Hopefully this thread will appear on Google & help anyone with similar queries.

Hello, I'm new here and it's been about 15years since I've had the great pleasure to play a Nord. I am in the opposite position as I have a European rack 2 yet live in the U.S. The link in the beginning of this subject is no longer working, yet from what I'm reading there is a switch inside which I can simply change the voltage? Then I'll then just need a new fuse too yes? Thnx for any help...

Hi! What a trip down memory lane to get an email notification of a reply to this post, it's been almost 10 years since I played the Nord & posted here!

It looks like the forum linked has been updated breaking old links. New link: https://electro-music.com/forum/topic-29716.html

If the forum link breaks again and anyone else comes across this post in 10 years, hopefully the archive.org link below still works

Hope that helps & have fun playing the Nord
