Because your reverb unit is "plugged in" to your amp w/ an instrument
cord, it is grounded by amp wall plug anyway...that is, unless you
live in my building which isn't properly grounded because it's old
(S.F.) I pick up every mexican radio station in CA on my reverb unit
and it has (3) plugs. I have yet to find an inexpensive solution to
this problem. Plus I'm in the haight within close proximity to Sutro
Towers...any ideas?
