Aren't we done with this hillbilly electrician stuff yet? If you can't wire up a 220 outlet by now, better sell the amp and tear up your ticket.

Guy's
It all has to do with "getting used to something". This is a VERY dangerous
practice. I am myself working with systems including 24VDC, 110VAC, 220VAC,
450VAC and 6600VAC, all onboard the same ship, and if I should start the
practice of sticking my fingers in 110/220, then that special day when
Murphy is present, 6.6KV might be the next. There are VERY few people who
have had a jolt from 6.6KV that can tell you about it. Treat the electricity
with outmost respect. What you got away with in the youth, will probably
kill you when the ticker gets older.

Hal, it's done all the time. I knew an (old) electrician who told me he
tested 120 vac any day of the week with his fingers, tested 240 vac on a
dry day, but never messed with 440.

Like I say, he was pretty old.
