If your amp gives you electrical shocks, you probably have leakage of AC voltage to the chassis, either accidentally or by design. ... If your amplifier HAS a three wire cord and still shocks you, there is more than one fault in operation, possibly including mis-wiring of the building's AC power outlets - it does happen.

Can you get electrocuted by amplifier?
One way guitar-microphone electrocution can occur is if the guitar amplifier is plugged into an electrical outlet that's on the stage, but the main sound console, to which the mic is grounded, is plugged into a different outlet in another part of the venue.
Can an amp shock you?
In fact, its voltage will be high enough to overcome your skin's resistance. It can pass through your skin into your blood vessels. If the level of amps is high enough, it can do some serious damage to your body tissues. It could even kill you!
Is getting a shock from an electrical outlet static electricity?
There are usually two main types of shock from light switches, static or electric. The static shock is due to electricity build up on the skin. Electric shock is due to electrical leakage from the switch. Static shocks are harmless while electric shocks can be fatal.
What causes electric shock voltage?
Electric shock is the sufficient amount of current flowing through human body which the person could feel. But, this doesn't mean that shock is not caused by Voltage. Of course, it depends upon voltage which is given by Ohm's law.
