I agree with Greg and would add that you will likely get dinged for import tax. Add that to the cost of a converter (which would probably need to be pretty hefty) and you probably won't save any money.
One possibility might be to have an amp tech swap out the transformer for you - that should be relatively easy if they could source the proper European transformer, but again, you probably won't save anything by the time you have done that. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Try to find second-hand one in Sweden, they are probably a bit cheaper then in stores, and they should be in good condition. These amps are pretty solid.

amps seem to add a lot to price when passing the Atlantic. So, getting a Marshall or an Orange here in Europe would be more economic than getting a Mesa. And to me Orange and Marshall seem overpriced in the US. Like getting a Marshall JVM410 in the US for $2000 then add VAT and tax + shipping and you made yourself a really bad deal compared to getting in from the UK/Germany or Sweden.
It could be worth a lot to you if you compare prices between USA/Sweden/UK/Germany. Just imagine the worth of each brand in each country. Being a fan of Marshall or Orange can be quite pricy living in the US. Same being a Mesa fan living in Sweden. What is it worth is up to the buyer. Still worth noticing that the same product can have odd values depending on where it's sold. -------------------- My bands homepage

Not sure, but if you are ready to pay at least half of that price, there are numerous amps at your disposal. If you want hi-gain metal tone, check out Peavey 6505+ or EVH 5105, these are really good amps.

What about the ENGL amps? They seem to be great and you have them closer (Germany).
