BUT, as most amps are mass-made for international markets I imagine it'd be ok for UK voltage. So, you may as well put a uk plug on it (meaning you have ground and fuse).
However!!!!! It will cancel your warranty, so if you want to keep your warranty/guarantee, use an adapter
they're both 230v 50 hz so i might just get some adapters...
Cut the plugs off, put on proper UK ones. Green/yellow(earth) to the top, blue(neutral) to the left, and brown(live) to the right, when looking down inside the plug with the top off. If that isn't clear, then the brown wire goes to the fuse.
if they're european aren't they likely not to have an earth and just live and neutral?
