Making The Vintage Amp Safe

Made the new Gibson safe with a 3 prong grounded plug yesterday. I talked with a buddy of mine who is a vintage tube amp guru and he suggested very highly that I get a grounded plug on this thing pronto and also remove the 'death cap' as well.

I did a bunch of research on how to get that done and went to work.

The cord is a 15 foot extension cord from Home Depot with the end cut off. I then made the necessary mods to the inside of the amp and installed the cord. That allowed me to also desolder the death cap at the same time.

The results are very good. Less buzz and a safe amp at the same time!
