    Yes.  Their analog output is metric there.

    You'll need to bring your own electricity, we had some in the '80's but we used it all up making Spotted Faggots.

    American guitars sell via a $ per £ conversion. It seems to be an unwritten rule.

    I often wonder if they let JB run that particular department

    Don't you guys have some sort of VAT (Valium Added Tax)?  

    We have an Automatically Redundant Sales Excise tax.

    OK, but it doesn't make for such a good acronym.

    There isn't such a thing (and, no, I'm not open to debate on THAT issue).

    Hi,

    England uses the 220V standard like Europe, right?

    Dang ... no wonder you guys like Tangerine Dream over there and here no one gives a cabbooodle because we use a much lower voltage! Meaning the music is worse!

    Professor Goofie said so!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    Ya, but it's the 220V Live one that Moshkaie is referring to so at least it's a double!
