Can I zap myself biasing my tube amp??

I just got a VTL ST-85. The biasing is done with the juice off , correct? So there should be no way to zap myself. If some biasing has to be done with the juice on, is there really any chance of shock? Maybe I will need to wear my thick rubber soled boots.....thanks...Mark

mythtrip... i just got the VTL IT 85, and wasn't sure about biasing either. it wasn't a big deal! i just read the directions a couple of times, and went to radio shack with the catalog numbers they referenced in the manual. i got a little plastic screwdriver at radio shack too. total cost was about $35. got home, easily took off the cage, and everything was clearly labeled on that map of the inside of the amp.... it was really easier than i thought.

good luck..
