I bought a brand new Little Dot I+ from a Chinese seller, but the seller mistakenly shipped me a 220 V version. Because the return shipping is very expensive, so the seller arranged a deal for me to keep it. I was thinking to buy an 110V to 220V adapter, but now I am not sure if it is a good idea. I also heard that the amp can be slightly modified to match the 110V outlet here in US. I can solder but not sure how to do it. Can anyone give me some suggestions here? Thanks.

You could get a step up transformer for the amp. It would make it function fine from our mains because it converts the 120V signal to 220V. 
 
Here's one you could use > http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Travel-Voltage-Converter-Adapter/dp/B001AHTEEU
 
Here's another one that's a bit more robust > http://www.amazon.com/Power-Bright-VC100W-Voltage-Transformer/dp/B000MWAKVU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331081067&sr=1-2

Thanks a lot! I will definitely go for a high quality one.

that sucks man, is LD giving you any compensation for the mix up?

It depends on which dealer he brought the amp from

I would offer to buy it from you, as I have one of these transformers and plan on moving to a 220v country in the near future.
 
But buying a voltage transformer would solve your problem.  The only problem is that a good one can cost as much as that amp.

The dealer did give me a partial refund.

That is good news.  It sounds like that the refund will cover the cost of the step-up transformer.

TBH, it's stuff like this why I'll always recommend dealing with DavidZheZhe instead of a third party. He'll honor his own warranty, which includes return shipping within 3 months. Sure, you'd be without an amp for another month, but at least you won't have to get a shady travel adapter for daily operation.

why didn't you just get it from David?
