I was reading through the Roadster manual and it occured to me that every manual for everything electronic I have since I can remember has always specified that you should use clean and well-grounded power. My question is, how bad is it if the power fluctuates and is poorly grounded?
I would assume the worst thing that could happen is you could get somehow electrocuted and die, which I think has happen to a few people on stage before when they touched their mics while holding an ungrounded guitar. After that, maybe your amp could be fried?
Do any of you have any personal horror stories you could share with respect to using dirty or ungrounded power?
I'm just wondering because the power at my house is pretty bad and I don't really trust power in clubs either. I'm sort of wondering if some of those furman power conditioners or w/e are more of a necessity than a luxury.
