OK want to put a 3 prong plug in and have a look at my new '68 silver face champ. SO, dont want to die, Thus want to make sure how to drain the power out of it:
Wile playing with amp on and turned up, unplug and keep on until sound is gone, then turn it off and:
1-make wire with gater clips on both ends, 10 watt 25 ohm resister someplace between the clips (insulated).
2-hook one end to amp chassis as ground
3-hook the other end to A) pin 1 on preamp tube, or B) positive out on cap, or C) jump both ends of the cap
4-check cap with meter to make sure juice is out.
Correct? Thoughts?
I also know: one hand only other in pocket, safety glasses, shoes on, no distractions or beer, leave jumper wire one wile performing any work,
My experience level; built my 5E3 and 10 stomp boxes and a 'strat', plus years of working on cars.
Thanks,
