Any difference using the Axe III in 50Hz vs 60Hz setting?

Noobie question: My axe III MK I just came and the frequency was set to 60Hz, i didn't noticed it and played for about 2 hours. I'm From Chile and the AC freq. Here is 50 Hz.

Is harmful for the unit if it worked @60Hz for that timespan?
Is there any difference on the performance? Is the lifespan of the unit lowered by this?

Also a Mark II is coming and i dont wanna make the same mistake.
 
The 50 Hz / 60 Hz setting doesn't impact the actual power operation of the unit. The setting is used by the Gate block (or the noise gate in the Input block) to filter out any AC hum. You should use your local value (50 Hz in your case) for optimal filtering performance, but otherwise there are no negative impacts to using the wrong setting.
