This would be an extensive mod and would be expensive. It may even require a custom wound transformer. Another option is to get an export power transformer from Peavey and have it installed before you make the trip. The easiest and cheapest thing would be to use a step down transformer to knock the foreign power down to our voltage. Jerry

Hey Jerry what would I notice with just the mercury and choke upgrade vs getting the whole mod. I am asking because overall I really like the tone of the jsx its just missing something.

From the FAQ section of my site: Jerry
What does the output transformer upgrade do for my tone? In most cases an upgraded output transformer will improve clarity and definition. It will help balance out all the frequencies so the low end doesn't become too loose and turn to mud.
What will adding a choke do for my tone? Adding a choke will beef up the amps power supply helping it keep up with the demands of heavy playing. A choke will improve the power filtering which in turn helps improve noise levels, sustain, and lessen sag. Some guys have complained that their tone seems to get muddy by the second set during a gig, a choke will sometimes help this and keep your tone consistent throughout the gig.
