I use this stuff live through a PA all the time. You get some peaks here and there, but if you start with the levels at a reasonable volume it isn't much on an issue.
if you were to bring some of this stuff **untested** into the studio or into church, we would freak.
As a professional sound guy for almost 30 years, if you were to bring some of this stuff **untested** into the studio or into church, we would freak. Additionally, I have a friend who works in TV/radio and he freaks over anything below professional grade, no matter how hi-fi. Would imagine that if you even hinted at something lo-fi, not sure I would want to be there to clean up that mess. ::)
For starters, wanting to learn how to do it right and not blow something up. Maybe learn a little about how safe they can be, so as to overcome those fears. Probably more, but that might suffice for now. ;DAs a professional sound guy for almost 30 years, if you were to bring some of this stuff **untested** into the studio or into church, we would freak.

I wonder what you're doing here if amateurishly modified devices freak you out so much :)
Most of the time your issue is a complete non-issue though. Professional gear isn't any more sensitive than, say, standard hifi amps are, on the contrary, mostly the ins and outs are better protected. If you are a professional you should know that. Now, if a modified device never made any problems at the bender's home, you can expect it to be safe as everything else. Every half-experienced bender who knows what he's doing will end up with 100% electrically safe devices.
Oh, don't get me wrong, once the thing has been tested and made sure it safe, it is fine for me.

Again what kind of testing are we talking about here ? Voltage spikes and the like ? I don't really know anything about producing so I'm sorry if it's an obvious answer...
