Just do what I do, I touch the metal support of my rack before touching anything on it. This dissipates any static safely and instantly.
Static discharge when touching amp
Hello,
I live in southern california and it can get incredibly dry and windy down here during the winter months. It has happened about 2 or 3 times this winter that i get off the couch real quick or drag my feet on the carpet, when i do this and touch my Portal Panache real quick i get a wee little static shock. It does not translate to any sound through the speakers, and nothing funky happens to the amp.
I am now very careful to no drag my feet on dry days or to rub around on the couch...
Do you think this is causing damage to my amp? I have heard others who have had this problem, but they say it shuts off their equipment or can be heard through the speakers. My charge is definatly not this big.
