How can Tech use this amp without death ( please help )

[Techdeth]

I’m told it’s the widomaker amp design . I played it once . But someone told me it will kil me . How can use it safely without fucking with it ?
I can’t remember the name of the amp . But it does a cool Jack white thing for recording I’d think .

I'd take that thing over to your neighbors house and plug it in first

I take my "widowmaker" amps to a local tech who will install a 3-prong plug, install a fuse and will go through it and bias it.
Not too much money and the amps always sound great when i get them back. YMMV

I guess there is a tool you can buy, that can discharge capacitors. I've never done it, i have a buddy who has. He's still alive so i guess he did it right lol.

Toaster in the bathtub scenario averted! Rigtalk saves lives!

My tech told me to build one of these when testing these old amps.

This was the simplest picture i found without looking very hard. You can also chop an extension cord in half, attach both black wires to either side of a lamp, then reconnect white to white, green to green. Plug it into a gfci on your first attempt incase you screwed something up... 150watt incandescent gives a dim glo when everything is working fine, lower wattage bulbs will glow brighter sooner. You can also use this as a compression effect with lower wattage bulbs.

Hell, I just plug em in.
