Well, in looking at the actual circuit I see this would not be a good idea! Having the hot lead on the center of the ground switch would lead to a dead short!
I know folks are hesitant sometimes to offer advice given the voltages we are working with here, but I'm familiar with the discharge processes and have worked on quite a few Fender amps. This is my first Ampeg and I'm still trying to understand the circuit. It seems to me that rewiring the ground switch is key to this process.
If anyone can help me out with a diagram of how this should be wired I would be greatly appreciate it. I don't want to proceed until I fully understand the circuit, and I'm not quite there yet.
