Andre S Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 After accidently breaking the pickup ground on my Lace Sensor....I unplugged my Super Champ XD, to find that the ground prong broke inside the outlet. I got it out, but can I use any power cord that matches the outlet? Or find a Fender replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Any IEC power cord will do for the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your bad luck streak doesn't get into electrocution territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 You have two options: 1. Cut off just the connector and replace it with something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202039721/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 2. Take your amp into an amp tech and have them replace the entire power cord. Outside of that you take your chances with an ungrounded amp and get zapped from time to time. I did the first option on an old Roland keyboard amp and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namvet Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If you have another amp with the same type plug ins for the power cord, you can probably use it on the Super Champ. Just make sure the wire guages are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the wire guages are the same. I do, but I use all of them, because I play my amps together....switching back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I don't think that cord will work... It should be black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namvet Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think color would be irrelevant. The important things are the plug that goes into the amp and the gauge of the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Its all going to be the same, similar to a computer cable, heck a computer cable would even work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagekun Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I replaced my amp's power cord with the one for my printer. They had the same specifications and looked exactly the same. Worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Like Riverside said, if the cord disconnects from the amp, any IEC cord will work. They are about $8 at Radio Shack, or any old PC or amp power cord will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
