AFAIK it has an external power-supply and should be easy replacable 
by a brasilian one. Or you can buy a transformator. What do you use 
in Brazil? 120V, 60Hz like in Amerika? Or 240, 50Hz like in Germany?

Wow...that´s a lot! 50% Why is that? So how much did you paid at the 
end for you AN1x?
Wouldn´t it then be cheaper for you, to save your money in the next 
time, then buy a round-trip to USA, make some holidays there and buy 
all the gear you want, then come back with it, as your personal 
stuff. Or you try to get a gig in Florida or something, so you can 
bring back your new musical instruments as "working tools" or 
something. The americans here, don´t they know some tricks?
