Dumb question...

[eupharies]

Bought an amp head, kettle lead has a european plug and i live in the UK..so need a british one!

So....

Is a kettle lead just a kettle lead or.. do i need to buy some special type for an amp etc...

This is probably a really stupid question but... id rather be safe then ruin my beautiful GK mb 500

As long as the voltage is right, you can just use a standard lead. But not a kettle lead, check a kettle and they have a lug to stop you using the standard lead (which aren't made to cope with the heat).

lol i appreciate your response but now im more confused haha

I would suggest you go to the amp maker's website to get the manual for your amp... The chances are very good that it has the answer you need. If not, you should at least tell us what the amp is so we can use the google for you to find the answer

GK MB 500 , thing is at practise i just borrow a kettle lead from another amp but...

By kettle lead, do you mean the IEC cable? I'm not familiar with the term kettle lead, apparently from being on the wrong side of the pond

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Manual says that it's configured the same for either eu or uk power, just a different IEC cable. So I would think that you jsut need to go to your local radio shack equivalent and purchase your IEC cable for the equivalent of $5... To transfer the equivalent power... Ok, I'm done.

That's funny, I have borrowed an actual kettle cord plenty of times.

 

[JimWasHere]

An IEC cord found in a kettle.
