Okay, here's a related question for you guys:
I have a pair of old mono tube amps with metal chassis that were serviced and a grounded cable added to them for safety purposes. But... I want to plug these in via the switched, non-grounded outlets on my pre-amp. The power switch for the amps is the treble tone control, and it is known to fail through regular use. The switched outlets would prevent that from happening. Of course, I do not want to lose the grounding.
I've thought about getting an extension cord and routing the grounding tab on cheater plugs to the hacked up extension cord, cutting off the live portion of the extension cord's plug. But is there something similar commercially available, perhaps with plastic prongs in place of the metal ones?
