Title: OT - Modding SS Amps
Post by: amonte on November 28, 2005, 05:30:54 PM
How do I make a SS amp "safe" to work on?  Is it the same as working on a tube amp (discharge the power caps)?

Basically, yes. Although the power supply caps are somewhat "safer", you should still ground them and it should be ready for slaughtering.
