RE: A new guitar amp build, part 2
The choice of the fuse holder is mostly because that's what you typically see on most tube type guitar amps. I guess it's what I'm familiar with. I've see those all in one power jacks with the fuse and switch, but that kind of seems too modern for a tube amp. :-)
The main reason that I use a removable power cord is because figuring out what to do with an attached cord is a pain when you're not using the amp.
The attachment of a power cord is SUCH A PAIN, that even designing things for large scale manufacturing, it is cheaper to use a removable power cord.
Now, they are so ubiquitous that getting a computer cord is cheaper than getting one with tinned pigtails.
Save money AND make manufacturing easier.
Yep, that's how I see it also. :-)
