Just got electrocuted

perrito caliente

Just had a very severe current of electricity sent though my body. I was connecting a guitar to an audio interface and a bolt of electricity ran through my arm, really zapped me, felt like touching an electric fence on full blast, but here's the weird thing, I got an absolute full blown, hardcore, 'rager' of an erection for about five minutes from it. Baton was pumping and pounding so forcefully I though it might take off. Either that or shoot off a half pint of sticky ichy fish sauce. It's settled down now. Too scared to check if it is still functioning but quite painful down there.

Shocking

If you were electrocuted you'd be dead

Were you putting your knob the the audio interface again? That'll do it

Perhaps I too ... Should post sh*the to the internet.

Perfect opportunity for some AcDc lyrics....a sample from Hard As A Rock

[Chorus]
Hard as a rock
Well, it's harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Well, it's harder than a rock

[Verse 2]
The lightnin' rod strike it hot
It's gonna hit you like the Rushmore rock
No nicotine and no pipe dreams
So low and dirty, it's down right mean

Not true.
I remember as a teen working in as bar I had to screw in a lightbulb to an old wall mounted light and in the process of trying to locate the bulb blindly into the holder got a shock for about 0.5-1 seconds.

OPs heart probably reacted to the shock and blood pressure increased causing the hard on.

There’s something fücking seriously wrong if there’s that kind of current flowing through your guitar lead. I’d have a electrician check your gaff out ASAP. After the raging boner subsidies, of course.

Go to Doctor and get check up

If it started in your arm and went all the way down to the magic wand, and affected it for several minutes, you might want to get checked. There’s a good few things between your arm and your crotch that you need for living. Not to mention the pompatus of love itself.

It is true. Electrocution is to do die by electricity so he wasn't electrocuted. He had an electric shock.

Electrocute can mean either "put to death by means of an electric shock" or "to give an electric shock to". Both senses have been current since the 1890s.

What's going on with your computer that you got a shock from it? The voltages aren't high enough to shock, there must be something seriously wrong there.

Did you re-tune your guitar and your banjo string afterwards?

Your knob clearly has a small resistance. Even with a small voltage, it was able to draw a high current

An average light bulb draws 40-60w (old filament), about .2amps @ 230v and even that will give you a fair whack if it's turned on.

Yeah, but a guitar pickup only outputs about 100-500mV, (some high gain pickups might output a volt or so), so that's all that should be going through a guitar lead. You can hold onto the jack end of a guitar lead all day and you should feel absolutely nothing.

Rember, an electric guitar generates and outputs an electrical signal from the pickups (metal strings vibrating in a magnetic field) - it isn't "powered" by electricity in the sense that it has to be plugged in to a power source. Electricity is needed for the amplification of that very weak signal to generate audible sound, but that electricity shouldn't be going anywhere near the lead or the guitar.

If the OP got a shock from his lead plugging into an audio interface, it means that there's something seriously wrong with the audio interface or his house wiring.

Probes

The only thing I can think of happening here is that the guitar was plugged into a combi input on the interface and phantom power was switched on. Otherwise the voltages in computers shouldn't even be able to conduct through skin.

Phantom power for mics is between 12 and 48v DC, and limited to 7mA. You shouldn't get a shock from it if the equipment is working correctly.

It sounds like it's a mains powered audio interface with an electrical short.

Any permanent damage to your schlong, Peritto?

Folks back in the day used to thrill to wildman Jimi playing with his teeth and behind his back and stuff.

But times have moved on and audiences have new expectations I suppose. It is probably not for this old timer to judge.

Is the guitar for sale? I've been planning on teaching myself to be proficiently play an instrument

At least now you know what to do if you ever can't rise to the occasion.
