I don’t know how it is with the newer models, but at that time they were wired 100/120/240 Any newer information regarding power transformer wiring?

I think your best bet would be to contact Steve with the serial number of your amp, that way you'll know for sure. But the current UFO amps have options for 220, 230 and 240V. Just my opinion but using an amp designed for 240 at 220V will not damage it (running it at a higher voltage might) but you will not get the best sound. Can you get a step up transformer for 220 -> 240V?

In general principal I imagine going above your wired voltage would be dangerous, but running under voltage should not have harmed anything, in theory, if you had run it on 220 whilst it was wired for 240.
