So last night I was unplugging the power cord for my AC30CC2 from the wall outlet when the ground prong broke off and remained in the outlet. This was late last night so I didn't have a chance to cut the power to that outlet to pull the prong out yet.
Couple of what are probably really stupid questions about the power cord:
(1) It looks like the ground prong just pulled out of the plug--that is, when I look inside the hole where it was it doesn't look like there is any remaining metal it broke free from; it just looks like all rubber/plastic/whatever the plug head is made of. Is that all the ground prong consists of? I am wondering if once I pull it out of the outlet I can just stick it back in the plug and be good to go.
(2) If I do need to get a new power cord for the amp, are all power cords the same? I have about a hundred of these three prong cords that fit the plug-in on the amp, from various musical devices (keyboards, rack units, other amps etc.) Do the cords have a certain amp rating that I would need to match with the original? Or are they all basically interchangeable?
There's a reason I don't work on electrical stuff...
