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

I used to play a 2-prong Pro Reverb all the time. After I got zapped a few times, I put a foam windscreen on the mic.
The reverse switch WOULD solve the lip-zap problem.
Another test I got in the habit of doing: hold the guitar by WOOD ONLY, and bring the string up to the mic. If it was ready to zap, you'd hear a sizzling crackle, even before the strings actually touched the metal.
Recently, I got a Hum-X for ground loop hum issues. Not sure how this thing works; can't find a real explanation anywhere. Somewhere I got it in my head that it's an electronic form of ground lift. Don't know if that would help with shocks or not...
