Electrical Question

I normally disconnect my power cords from the wall on my amps when not home or not using. I now have a amp where access to the outlet is not easily accessable. I assume the local amp on/off switch will protect from power surges etc., but what about lightning strikes ? . Will the on/off switch protect the amp ? . Can lightning "jump" the switch and cause damage ? ...... I do not like to use power conditioners/surge protectors with my amps....
