@DrGonz78 the adapter looks cool but unfortunately i don't think the sockets around here suit it

@Loudthud i live in vietnam and it's 220v and it's always been 2 pin sockets here since i was born

@Roly

i guess i'll try the alligator clip thing to see how it goes. anyway thanks a lot guys for the help, really appreciate it!

hi Enzo, thanks for the reply

the model is Yamaha GA-10

there's just the basic ON-OFF power switch

btw i should add to the question that basically what i want to do is to find an elegant way to ground the 3rd pin (which is wired to the chassis) so that it works even when i carry my amp around to practices or gigs. it's 2 pins everywhere here!

my best idea so far is to wire the chassis to an alligator clip and just improvise with the venue - find a metal pole that's connected to ground and clip it there, i guess

please enlighten me further, thanks a lot

hi guys! i'm new here - and new to electronics as well

i got an old yamaha solid state amp which has 3 pins, but the power supply where i live only has 2 pin sockets. what's a good way to ground it? i've had zaps on my fingers after playing long sessions on this amp.

i suppose i can connect the chassis to a grounding metal object? this seems a little awkward though and i wonder if there's a more elegant way

thanks a lot!
