At least that's what it appears...
In the old days these timers had a relay, but I know the new ones
have no mechanical moving parts.
The amp in question is "smart." When it receives an audio signal
the LED on the on/off button changes from green to red.
The amp is supposed to have power to it only for certain hours
each
day, controlled by this timer. But during the off cycle, the LED
still
glows red! I would expect it to be totally off when the timer so
indicates.
The bottom line is that I don't know if the amp is actually off. I
seem to remember that one side of a connection is all some LED
circuits need to operate, but don't know if this applies in this
case.
I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Plug a table lamp into the timer instead. See if it goes on and off.
