12. Important Safety information
TheGigRig Pro-8 is a low voltage device and so it is completely electrically safe;
however, this is not true for some older guitar amplifiers.
The GigRig is NOT for use with old two pin mains plug amplifiers.
Your amplifier must have an earth connection. If you intend to use a vintage
amplifier with a two-pin mains plug
DON’T.
Take your amp to be serviced by a
qualified technician. In most cases a new 3-wire mains lead can be fitted for just a
few pennies.
Amplifiers fitted with a ground switch.
Under no circumstances should the GigRig be used with this type of amplifier.
Some vintage amplifiers where fitted with a Ground switch to reduce earth loops
and reduce hum. This switch is now commonly known as the
DEATH
switch. If your
amplifier has such a switch, GET IT SERVICED NOW! The switch will be removed and
an earth lead will be added with a three-pin plug.

Do not use your GigRig in wet conditions. If TheGigRig Pro-8 accidentally gets wet, it
should be left in a warm dry place for 24 hours before it is used or stored. (Remove
the lid to aid drying.)
