Looking to buy one an SF-2 that is in very good condition. I have the money for the right price. Thanks....

Hi there;  
I have an SF-2 in excellent condition that I'm willing to sell or swap direct for an F2-B. I'm in the UK so there would be extra costs though I would have to get a quote on exactly how much. The dollar's not brilliant against the pound just now if I let it go for ?350 that's the equivalent of $580 and that's ?100 or $160 less than what I payed!  
Let me know if you're interested, you can email me direct if you wish ratbull6@gmail.com
Best,
Rob.

Is the SF-2 voltage switchable?
Or would modifications have to be made for it to run on 110-120V?

I am interested, and ready to buy, but that is a very good question. Thank you Bill!!!!

A quick google turned up this quote from Mica:
 
You need to get an external wall wart power supply for the proper voltage in your country that matches the power rating (10.5-17.5 VDC) and the polarity (center contact positive) for the SF-2.

So does that mean crazyboy had to use the wall wart and that its already set to go for the states?

If it does not have a wall wart compatible with US power standards you would need buy one yourself as the one for the UK would not be compatible.

I got it..I am ignorant with these matters...I apologize.

Hi there: just to make matters worse I bought the SF-2 from a friend of mine in Portugal so the power supply is for EU! However, don't know how this affects the voltage (I'm not that technical myself...)  
I do know that a simple mains socket adapter solves the plug issue and I use this for both EU and US products I've bought, I haven't had any issues but in terms of the US products that amounts to a compressor pedal, an iPhone charger and the Mrs' hair dryer... However, as always, I would defer to the wisdom of Mica and Alembic for the final word...

This is what it says on the back (see photo), I've posted a couple of the front as well, I know they're not brilliant but rushed off the iPhone just to give you an idea...

sonicus

I know , I have owned the product for a while .

crazyboy

Apologies Craig, file sizes too big so I've just emailed them instead.
For the benefit of recent posts the back panel at the power socket reads: 10.5-19.5 VDC and the diagram indicates: centre contact positive.  
Phew, complicated! I'll just stick to playing bass...

Here is the pic from crazycowboy of the back, hope the folks that know can shed some light.
