Default Guitar amp input socket replacement

If it`s too low, rather than file the front panel, mount it on short

up with lengths of flexible wire - making sure to connect the correct
pins - they are on the opposite side when the socket is inverted[1]

[1] does that make sense?


Yes thank you Ron; that's very helpful. 2-pole it is then. How critical is
the gauge of the copper wire or flexible wire? I have a short length of twin
core and earth still attached to a discarded light switch - at about 1mm is
the bare earth thick enough? It seems sturdy enough.

Not critical at all, the copper cores out of twin and earth is probably
ideal.
