Batometer -
Allows you to quickly and easily check the condition of the battery inside your guitar, bass, or effects pedal. Tired of removing pickguard screws or pedal screws to test the battery? Find yourself changing the battery perhaps needlessly "just to be safe"? The Batometer solves the problem. Just connect the Batometer cable to any digital multimeter, select the DC voltage scale on the meter, and plug the 1/4" phone plug into your guitar or instrument jack of your pedal. The battery voltage is immediately displayed on the meter. Using the
guidelines included with the Batometer, you'll know immediately if it's time for a new battery. (Meter and guitar not included!)

Tube Amplifier Safe Voltage
Discharge Cable SVDC-2
This cable is designed to help you work safely inside your tube amplifier. The first step, of course, is to always unplug the amplifier from the AC supply. It's also a good idea to let the amp "rest" for a period of time before removing the chassis, in order to let the high voltage bleed off.
This discharge cable will help ensure that you minimize the possibility of getting shocked by stored voltage in the amplifier. The clip connects to a chassis ground. The probe allows you to discharge high voltage points in the amp safely through a fixed 10K - 2 Watt resistor embedded in the cable lead. This is much preferred to using a direct short to discharge capacitors ... it's safer, avoids sudden arcs and loud pops, and avoids a sudden discharge shock to the filter capacitors.
Instructions included. |
