Yet another dumb question...

Then what?
Mount it below the IEC receptacle?

Isn't the E style a standard IEC format?

What about this: 562-857-03/47

Built into the IEC socket but the contacts are on top rather than directly opposite the prongs on the outside. Appears to have pretty similar specs, and the circuit inside is the same.

Same issue as the 1A unit that I have: size is too large for the opening. It would work, lengthwise, if you wanted to increase the opening by a few millimeters, but you would have a gap above or below the connector.

Yes, mount the modular unit below the power inlet, then solder leads as needed. The E style would work, but again I think it ends up being just a bit too large for the opening, and on my build at least the length would interfere with the rectifier board.

Here's another possibility. Instead of trying to mount one of these units inside the amp chassis, you could make a power strip with 1-2 of the outlets filtered so the amp and effects unit could have filtered supplies.

The question is this: is the length of power cord between the power strip and the amp enough to make it necessary to mount a filter as close as possible to the power transformer?

[benoit]

Is there such a thing as a filter built into a cord?

It looks to me like Furman offers many different versions of them, ranging from power strips to rackmount. But they're all pretty pricey. Assuming that a length of power cord doesn't collect much noise, this (filtered power strip or cord) is too obvious an idea for someone else not to be doing it, but I don't know who.
