I'm not exactly sure how your recommendations would work in my specific circumstance. .... Any help figuring my problem out is much appreciated.

Buy a new timer.

 

I just checked a cheapo, square-shaped timer I have and its single outlet is polarized, so they are available and about $6. They also sell a 2 outlet version for about $12. Check the big name hardware stores' web sites and you'll find them.

Update: From forum member Bubo's recommendation, I sought out an APC 15A G5 Rack Power Filter. I found used one on eBay for $98 shipped, tax included, which I thought was a fair price. It does exactly what I need; primarily it replaced my power strip which was tucked away in the cabinet and cumbersome to turn on/off. Now, one button turns on my amp, then my tuner. Secondarily, it protects my equipment. Lastly, it looks cool with the display and all the LED's!

 

Thanks for the suggestion!
