The TTVJ Milletts portable amp I bought doesn't come with a 240V charging unit so I bought a 240V ---> 110V AC-AC convertor. It's a Sunpower UK Ltd MW2PO45 230V 50Hz to AC110V 45W output.

It runs very warm though. Is this a safe option to use with the original 110V charger?

The portable TTVJ amp runs on 6V 1Amp current. Thinking the above wasn't a great (safe) idea after all, I bought an unregulated variable 4.5V - 10V 1Amp output adapter.

It seems to work okay and doesn't run hot when charging my portable amp.

But does the 'unregulated' bit mean danger or something?

I'm starting to think, both options are bad ones

That's what happens when a numptie tries to make a solution work for a 240V country for an amp designed in a 110V one.

Help?!
