Re: 120/240V switch?
Mine is now about 4 years old and came with both 120 and 240 Vac power cords (no switch).

Re: 120/240V switch?
Both of you guys are right.
There is no switch on older units (May, 2020 for mine) and just as Jerry said, two power cables came with the amp, one for 240 and one for 120.
