Where could I buy a kettle lead for an amp?

[Clarky]

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

If you mean a bog standard Amp/PC mains lead - three pin, I've ended up with loads of them.
PM me your address and I'll ping you one over.

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.

Haha! My playing would upset all the purists on here too, or in fact anyone with any interest in music

Flat Eric has kindly agreed to send me a spare KETTLE lead and in return I am making a small donation to BC, so everyone happy

[JTUK]

if you still need one I'll send one.

All right! It's not a KETTLE lead.

[pantherairsoft]

Correct. Its a 3 pin IEC cable!

If whatever you get your hands is not long enough, the place I used to work do them from 1m - 10m and they are pretty damn cheap as well…

Well audiospares describe them as IEC UK Mains "Kettle" Leads, so they must be KETTLE leads

And what do they call them?

Put the kettle on, Clarky ...

[pantherairsoft]

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!

99% of the people can't be wrong

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.

Ampeg amps make the best cup of tea, no arguments

Better to have a kettle lead than a lead kettle.

My kettle doesn't use those leads...

[waynepunkdude]

Nor does mine

Then they shouldn't have called them kettle leads.

[wateroftyne]

Wow.. this thread is heavy going.

Anyone fancy a cuppa? I'll pop the IEC on.

[pantherairsoft]

You mean you'll pop the 3-pin IEC powered water boiler on?
