if i order an amp from thomann will it have an irish plug or a german one?

feylya · 19-03-2005 1:01am

German.

well thats a bit annoying. at least the amp is 100 euro cheaper then buying it in town

feylya · 19-03-2005 1:15am

Take one of those euro you saved and just get a plug. Chop the end off the power cable, screw the new plug on. You've saved €99.

i just stuck a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter on mine ... or you could just get a new power cable.. or do what feylya said.

I hope your coverter allows for earth passthrough.

At my school, We had an incodent where a belgan student plugged his amp into a socket via a european extension lead that wasn't earthed...Cable melted shorted. No fuse to blow, Down wen't the 3phase fuse for the whole school. Plus all his pedal psu...The all got melted from the heat...Since i've sorted him out with some irish plugs...

Which is why I suggest changing the plug. Not hard to do at all as long as you're not a complete moron plus it removes the danger of using converters.

This guy is. He intends on screeming into mics as loud as he can. Coz he claims thats what your men't to do in heavy metal...It really only wrecks speakers etc etc...

Eh... wtf? Even doing the 'Harsh' style of vocal takes a hell of a lot more than screaming as loud as he can, and he's going to **** his voice up entirely if he even attempts to scream for an hour and a half.

Yeah. Ask Maynard James Keenan about recording Lateralus.

thanks. I was just wondering about about the lead. and seeing that i'm a trained electrician i shouldn't have that much trouble changing a plug
