My axe fx just blew up.

It's probably the 220 volt power overseas.

That's not it. Check out the specs in the manual.

230v in Singapore, pretty clean too. Nevertheless it is not unheard of that a spike can shoot down the line and wipe you out. You never know when someone's going to put a backhoe through an underground power line...

Thailand power is dirty as hell - we get blackouts, brownouts and a constantly fluctuating line voltage. Highly recommend Furman PL C 8 E (or the plus model if you like seeing how bad the line voltage is)

Is this power supply from Mouser exactly the same as the OEM ? LPT42 Emerson / Astec Power | Mouser

For $45.00 I may order one as a backup.

@Teddis, spot on. That's the power supply I bought.

@Garbagetruckdriver, haha there's quite a bit of work going on now since there are several new MRT lines being built, fingers crossed that no such accidents will happen!

Still, I guess a good power conditioner is kinda like buying insurance. Never know what might happen!

j_m_s - glad you got your Axe-FX up and running again!

Very nice.

Looks like we got more than a couple of Singaporeans on this board, perhaps we should do an AxeFest Singapore (or SEA )

I'm all for that - it is actually cheaper for me to fly to Singapore from where I am, rather that go to Sydney/Melbourne etc. Go figure!
