Curious what your tech/electrician's offer for advice as to when to use this feature.

What he told me was you plug your amp in and if it hums you reverse the plug or the polarity to get rid of the hum then it should also be right with the wireing. Of course then the other folks amps and PA has to be taken into consideration too. Since most new PAs have the 3 prong plugs there is no reversing the cord or do they have a polarity switch. I wonder if a meter between the strings of your guitar and the mic stand or mic would tell you by taking a reading each way?
