I too leave my stuff set up most of the time also, (Boss GT-6), and use a surge protector, and have never had a problem. I do get alittle paranoid during thunder storms, and un-plug everything just to be safe. I used to work in an appliance store, and we would get a bunch of TV's & stereo equipment in for repair right after big storms, and the repair man would always tell the customers to make sure they un-plug any electrical equipment, even if using surge protectors, during big storms.

Anyway, I've noticed that my Hot Rod has some residual power (capacitors?) in it after I turn it off cause I get buzzing from it for a few seconds if I touch the instrument lead/plug after pulling it from my Strat. The only reason I take the cable from my strat and amp is so the strat can go on the stand and the dust cover can go on the HRD. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-166525 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-166505 Sat, 18 Mar 2006 00:44:40 +0000
You might want to add an EQ pedal to that chain. An EQ does wonders for your sound.

BTW, I love your avatar! Funny stuff!

the only power in an amp which is turned off is found in the capcitors.
they store a massive ampount of power. so be careful when poking your finger in the back of an amp.
if you touch the cap to earth(ground) you wil have spikey hair and a ride to emergency.

when I want to work on my amp I take an insulate screw driver, touch the cap and the metal chassis of the amp. a huge spark is emitted and a loud pop. the pop always scares me.
now the cap is discharged and is safe to poke around.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-166500 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-166492 Sat, 18 Mar 2006 00:03:02 +0000
Since you are turning off the surge supressor, then no power can get to your amp (or anything else) so it can't draw any power, 'cause there's none to draw.

Beyond that, the only possible harm that I can think of in leaving everything set up, it that you might cause a tripping hazard.

Many gigging pros mount all their pedals on a board (either a commercial product, or a chunk of plywood) and leave everything wired together, then just toss the whole she-bang into a case (the fancy ones have a lid that latches on). Get to the next gig, pull out the board, hook up one "in" one "out" and one power connection and you're good to go.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-166492 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/keeping-your-rig-set-up/#post-16339 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 23:34:58 +0000
