Electrical faults can kill you .
In the music world, the most common form of electrical shock
occurs when the musician forms a path for an electrical current
between two different circuits where one of them is faulty. Usually
this is caused by holding a guitar plugged into one circuit and
touching a microphone which is plugged into a different circuit. If
one of the circuits (or a piece of equipment in the path) is faulty,
there is a real danger of electrical shock.
gig-fx pedals offer the possibility of working in stereo using two
amplifiers. If one of your amplifiers is connected to a different
electrical circuit from the other, you need to make sure that both
circuits are wired correctly. Use a “mains tester” from an electrical
or hardware store to test the mains outlets. It should indicate that
the “Live” (Hot), Neutral and Ground are all present on the correct
pins.
