Turn it on.... Plug in a guitar... Play.
Yeah. There is no product that would be covered by lightning strike. This is what contents insurance is for.Not surprising at all. It's the customer's responsibility to protect the unit from any kind of external damage.
Totally unnecessary if you have a surge protector or a Furman type power conditioner.After reading this forum I always make sure it's completely unplugged when thunder is possibility

That sucks!!A friend once tried to recover damages against a policy that claimed to cover lightning strikes and was denied because there was no "physical evidence" (i.e. melting, charring, scorching). :\
All that stuff is on the same UPS. I'm good.Not necessarily. Your rack power conditioner will only protect surges that come from mains power. If you've got USB, audio, MIDI, or other cables connected to other devices like PC's, audio interfaces, etc. that are on different outlets and may not be as protected, the surge can still make its way to your rack. Many PC's have been fried while on quality surge protectors because their network or modem (old school ) connections were not surge protected. Any cable connection is a potential path.
Surge protector is a good idea...quality one's could save you from a lightning strike...it's the same as a computer
Surge protector will not protect you from a brown out which is probably more common. Lost an ADA MP2 one time...AC line volt regulation much better but much more expensive
In some cases yeah .... What we are talking about is reducing risk not completely eliminating it. Some one grabbing a surge protector (various levels of quality there also) is way better than nothing.
