The socket on mine has cracked, tried gluing but no joy. There are a ton of replacements but haven’t found one like this in the google searches. Anyone know if Fender uses a certain socket on its newer amps? Thanks!

Post a close-up pic. It's the IEC socket that's cracked, right?

I don’t have this photo thing down yet but here are the links. I melted the crack some with a soldering iron and taped it to make it usable for now. The part in my previous link looks like it, just never heard of the vendor. Will keep looking at other potential sites also.

Good pics! It's the type with the little fuse holder. What's the jack's center-to-center mounting screw hole distance? Looks a bit like this one. www.don-audio.com/IEC-iec-power-jack-chassis-mount-with-10a-fuse-holder-DF-ScrewYour Parts is Parts link is the same one. I've bought from them in the past; they're good. Note: Make sure to use the proper rated fuse for the amp. Some of these jacks come with a fuse already installed that will be way over the amp's current requirement. If things go awry, an over-rated fuse will not protect the circuit. So make sure to check the fuse.

I got one in there and all is well. I was a little confused at first because the socket I received didn’t have the pull out tray for the fuse (nor made to work with one) but had the fuse sockets so just popped one in and the GDEC is back up and running.
