What will happen if the switch arcs internally to the chassis? If you're lucky, the house breaker will blow quickly. If not, the internal green earth wire might open and you get electrocuted the next time you touch the amp. Or, maybe the earth wire stays good long enough for the wiring in the amp to catch on fire. Or the wiring in your house. Take a look at any UL equipment and you'll see that NOTHING precedes the fuse. This is what's required to protect users from defects and most mishaps.
