14. Important Safety information

TheGigRig pro-14 is a low voltage device and so it is completely
electrically safe; however, this is not true for some older guitar
amplifiers.
Do not use old two pin mains plug amplifiers.
Your amplifiers must have an earth connection! If you intend to use a
vintage amplifier with a two-pin mains plug DON'T. Take your amp to be
serviced by a qualified technician. In most cases a new 3-wire mains lead
can be fitted for just a few pennies. Products now exist to safely solve
hum problems associated with your amps. See our website.
Amplifiers fitted with a ground switch.
Under no circumstances should the GigRig be used with this type of
amplifier.
Some vintage amplifiers where fitted with a Ground switch to break
earth loops and reduce hum. This switch is now commonly known as the
DEATH switch. If your amplifier has such a switch, GET IT SERVICED
NOW!

Do not use your Pro-14 in wet conditions. If it accidentally gets wet, it
should be left in a warm dry place for 24 hours before it is used or
stored.
