Adding a chassis ground where none existed in previous design is always controversial.
On the back of the IEC socket the L and N terminals should be marked. If the amp currently has a polarized plug then the wire going to the narrow blade should go to the L terminal and the wire on the wide blade should go to the N terminal.
If it is currently non polarized then, generally, you'd want any sort of switch and fuse to be connected to the L terminal.
There can be other twists too, with caps from L to chassis or N to chassis, etc.
