Clarky Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I got a Euphonic Audio amp this week from BassDirect and the manufacturers had supplied a US kettle lead in the box I can obviously swap from another amp but this is a pain and also a recipe for disater if I turn up to a gig or rehearsal having forgotten to swap over. So does anyone know where I could buy a standard UK kettle lead for an amp? Muchos gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Clarky are you trying to upset all the purists on here? Wait for the slightly angry post, telling you that it is NOT called a kettle lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Only so everyone can find them in a search… is 99% of people call them Kettle leads and you actually want to sell some then calling them 'kettle' leads on the website is a pretty good call!

BigRedX Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) But... If you bought one of these leads to actually use to plug in your old-style kettle you'd be mightily disappointed because it wouldn't fit.
