I haven an old electric guitar amp, and it's missing the ground. When plugged into the wall, it sometimes shocks me. Would this stop that?

I'm pretty sure that it would NOT... You should re'establish the original (or some) ground path FROM the device To the power source. Otherwise the device will remain ungrounded.

No, just an electric guitar amp. I'd recommend getting a small, inexpensive amp. After you play a while and get a feel for it you can get something bigger and better.

Yes that us the input voltage not the output . the output voltage is multiplied in the amp so the input voltage can stay low. If their is a direct short then it will pop the fuse instead of amp

They could help in that circumstance. I tried for guitar with direct connect to floor pedal and amp. They distorted the sound too much.

You do hook it up like you would a stomp box, but you don't turn it on and off. It's your power amp, so it should be at the end of any chain of stomp boxes, otherwise you could fry your stomp boxes. This would be between any effects and your cabinet. You could go straight from your guitar, into this, and then to the cabinet, but you'd then have no way to shape your sound. Just think of this as a plain power amp, nothing else.

The speaker dictates the power your amp puts out not the other way around. The speaker draws the power. So just wire it normal and all will be fine.

I wouldn't recommend sending an amplified signal into the Apogee. Designed to plug guitar in directly.

Not necessarily. Sometimes it may seem that you lose some bottom end but, not really "tone". Not that I'VE noticed anyways. I read somewhere that when mic'ing an amp, sometimes the floor can have an adverse effect on the sound. I'm guessing it's a matter of taste.

Serge, are you sure you are connecting the stereo side of your cable to a stereo system or instrument? If it is connected to a monaural device, the red lead may be short-circuited and your amp may be at risk!

no i have bought to different boss amps and they both have a bad ground problem. i hooked up a name brand amp and i did not have any problems. but that's just my opinion

Blown fuse, wiring. Check fuses first (easiest) then look at wiring. Could've blown amp if wiring/ground bad.

There's also a switch on the guitar input jack. So if you haven't got a guitar lead plugged in it won't power on. Also remember to pull the guitar lead out when you're not using it or it won't be really swithed off (even though the LED is off) and your batter will go flat

Also, if possible only use equipment with a grounded 3 prong plug. Without the third ground connector on the power cord the equipment can't be properly grounded and so ground loop hum will be harder to avoid ...

I use it without grounding and no problem. It is a general rule for any electrical equipments tp avoid shock in case an electrical leak to the metal parts.

yes, it should allow you to keep your system. I would dis connect the positive from the battery first though to ensure you don't fry your amp.

If your not changing the amp stick with the same ohm. Otherwise it might sound like crap or worse and blow something.

The amp has a transformer which is plugged into an AC outlet. When I unplugged it, I did not get signal.
