Hi, I have a walrus audio aetos power supply that operates at 230v. Would it be possible to modify or install a new transformer so the power supply operates off of a 120v circuit?

Any recommendations on where to start?
I’ve built a few pedals and an amp from a kit so I have some basic electronics knowledge.

Thanks!

If it's transformer has separate primary tap for 120, then yes.
Otherwise - nope.

I am in a 240V location, and have bought several devices from the US that have 110V supplies. The cheapest and easiest Way forward I found was to get a 240V to 110V transformer with a US plug output and just plug the US supply in to it. I am guessing there are equivalents that go the other way.
