Don't leave home without surge protection!! - 08/22/18 09:55 AM
Just came home from a morning gig at a fire hall breakfast. Set up and ready to play, and no power at outlets. All circuit breakers were reset, and still no power.
An extension chord was run from another room. I turned on my equipment and flash, bam, alakazam, equipment went out and smelled a burning smell. I told the organizer my surge protector went out and I will not chance another incident. He agreed, and payed me, and offered to cover any damage to the equipment.
I had a Belkin Surge protector that burned out, but when I checked out my Tyros at home it was OK.
Based on Donny's past recommendation I am buying this unit as a replacement.

I was lucky. Make sure your equipment is protected.
