Your vintage guitar amplifier is trying to kill you.

Today the Tone Priest shares a public service announcement regarding the safe care and feeding of vintage vacuum tube amplifiers that have separate upper and lower chassis. Huge shout out to Terry from D-lab Electronics for sharing his wisdom and experience to help keep us all safe. Watch his video on the subject linked below:

This and all Tone Priest videos are for edu-tainment purposes only. Vacuum tube amplifiers can have lethal voltages in excess of 700 volts. Capacitors can retain a deadly charge even when an amplifier is turned off and unplugged. Videos are not instructional nor do they advocate anyone doing any kind of repairs on their gear. Nobody should do electrical work on anything for any reason ever. Keep your hands and belongings inside the car at all times.
