I don't dare plug an amp into the wall where I live, where there can be sudden powerful thunderstorms. About a month ago, the Monster surge protector I plug into took a big surge, and I quickly got up and turned everything off. Later, I turned everything on again and all was well for a few weeks. Then suddenly, the Monster unit just up and died one me about a week ago, some sort of weird delayed reaction I guess. I have been told that this sometimes happens (that a unit keeps working a few weeks after a spike), but it's the first time I have experienced it. It certainly did it's job, I guess. But it also confirmed that I will NEVER plug an amp directly into the wall.
