Nord User Forum

I didn't want to waste anyone's time so I searched everything I could find on this topic before posting.

Today, I just received an Electro 2 Rack unit from Guitar Center, purchased for a different purpose than my Electro 5D73, which is great. The shipment came in two boxes (?), a lighter one containing the Electro Rack unit, and a heavier one, with a honking big 10 pound voltage converter. Yup, Guitar Center strikes again. Unbeknownst to me this was a 230 volt European unit.

So, my first question is: would I need to solder connections like some early Nord's, or is there a switch inside the unit, as I expect, to change the voltage from 230v to 115v?

Any help would be appreciated about this and other stuff: like the necessary fuse and it's size, if a different fuse holder is needed, and especially how to open the unit up safely etc. I've opened up and serviced some basic problems with my other Electro's before, so I'm ok unless it requires soldering.

IMO, the early Nord's are still pretty cool.

there must be a selection switch inside the unit as it's all the same unit basically.
Did you open it already maybe?

About fuse, you should read the service manual maybe... I haven't changed it yet so..
