Has anyone experienced a electrical problem with the Champion line. Our Rhythm guitar player had a low volume issue and we started checking A B and C. At C I took my guitar and plugged into his Champion 100... after about 5 seconds it discharged and lit me up. I after that we turned it off and back on ( I made sure HE was plugged in this time )and it worked fine for the first song the had a volume drop again but no discharge. Off and on again fixed it and it did well for the rest of the set. Any ideas ?? I read the post on the one that "blew up but still worked" No sparks or fire during this incident.. Thanks in advance.

Hi sgtjet210,

Is the ground pin intact on all of your electrical plugs, and plugged into a verified grounded outlet? If anyone's amp/equipment has a bad ground, or improperly using a two-prong adapter, it could shock anyone that touches it.

Thanks shimmilou for your reply. All plugs seem to be in working order. We were going to put a surge protector in line. We play on a carpeted stage in a church and the static is bad on days. Thanks again for the info. !
