Ouch. I'm sure you guys know this but don't ever touch the soldered parts of your amp when it's on. I just did and WOAH my first big electric shock. Note to self: don't do things you know you shouldn't with 240v amps.

My hair didn't stand up though, that's disappointing!! :x

E.D.

They always say Ït's the amps that kills". Not the voltage.

Tube amps have enough electricity stored in the capacitators to kill you even if the amp is off. Don`t be sticking your hands where they don`t belong or we`ll be seeing a post with RIP Echo Delta.

Always keep one hand in your pocket and use wooden chop sticks to probe around. :wink:
