Looking at a Peavey VTM120 ground switch....

With a functioning 3 prong cord is there any reason NOT to disconnect the switch and remove the caps?

Re: Peavey Ground Switch
The current wisdom is - it's useless to have the "shocker" cap installed if your amp chassis is grounded.
In fact I can't think of a reason to have it even if the chassis isn't grounded, except one switch position might result in less buzz noise. Murphy's law says that's the position that delivers the shock.

down technical blind alleys . . .
