Can anyone tell me why there is no polarity switch on a Nashville 112? I love the amp,I've had two of them, I just don't understand the reasoning behind the ommission of a polarity switch. It couldn't cost THAT much more to use a 3way switch. Also: Is it feasible to install one?

I would think that if the amp utilizes a three wire system, and properly grounded, a polarity switch has no purpose.  |

I don't think UL will approve a polarity switch anymore.

I keep a non-grounded adaptor in my seat for this purpose. I have filed off the ridge on the wider blade of the plug so that I can flip it around if I need to. Actually, I think that running these amps ungrounded is probably a good thing, from a hum perspective. I'm sure people will jump all over me about this...but I've never had an issue running ungrounded and I figure it is a simple way to avoid ground loops and having a microphone hot relative to my steel, etc.
