In my workshop it’s obvious when the chassis is on the bench with the open side facing upwards, since I’ve got a fluorescent strip light over it - there’s always a lot of buzz.
So a head with no shielding could be a problem if there’s a strip light in the room below.

Yes, if a head was stood on some sensitive electronics or alternatively something chucking out **** you need the screening. BTW don't cheap out on chuck foil! Get some 20g ally or better, tinplate and make sure the front and rear edges are well stuck to the base, otherwise they can catch in the chassis and make it a bugger to get out!

Fender and many other amp companies actually use foil not much thicker than that too.

Yes IC, I can see that from the point of a service job the punter is not going to spring for extra metal! Good that SOME form of screening is used. My comment was tainted because of struggles I had with one particular chassis...Yes! One of theirs! (there is also a trick to removing the chassis from the Series One 45 combo)

Intentionally 'service proof'?

Yes IC, I can see that from the point
I’ve only worked on the combos before so it was something of a surprise to find it in a head where it’s not necessary at all. I’ve stripped it all off since it didn’t come away cleanly anyway...
