HT type shocks are particularly painful: yes been there. Hurt more that a mains jolt if I remember correctly.

Can't say I've ever had the cap go short either, of course that doesn't mean one never will do, more likely to short if the speaker is disconnected or goes open and the volume is high.
DC shocks are nasty but the control should have a knob on it and remember the shaft is at chassis potential so the risk is tiny.
