Is it ok to buy an amp from a country that uses different power outlet voltage and then plug in using a travel adapter? Will this work ok?

I'm not sure about every amp, but on mine there is a voltage selector which can choose the voltage of the power outlet, and you could always use a transformer. Someone correct me if I am wrong

Nope, a travel adapter is only meant to fit your country's power plug's pins into another country's. It doesn't change the voltage at all.

What you need is a step-down transformer.. If your buying from the U.S that is..
