To clarify...

I live in the UK where the power supply is 240v.

I had a 110v to 240v adapter for a synth of mine.

The Xpander was set (switch at the back) to 110v. Then, instead of 
plugging in the 110v adapter, I (accidentallty) plugged in a 240v cable 
(mains voltage). Double the input voltage blew the fuse in the PSU. I 
got a new fuse - of the right variety - and it worked again.

Since then (2005), the fuse has blown twice more, just to surges rather 
than the wrong cable. Again, seemingly no problems tuning the voices.

Hope that's clearer now.

Jeremy.
