[arumrunner]

Fwels..the tonz in the shoe lace

[Tremolux59]

Oh jeez, shades of the infamous Dr. Stereo.

[ManMartin]

This is not a guitar tube amp, this is really an overdrive pedal with all the mods that you can find in internet on it ;)

[KokasIsland]

Looks like a Hack Job. MOLESTED FENDER.

[jreid9001]

I think that material is heatshrink sleeving that hasn't been shrunk for some reason.

Also, WTF on those capacitors.

[ChrisVGuitarist]

@jreid9001 it was fabric tho... you light it and it'd catch fire! I think he wanted a "vintage cover" but went over board. Really stupid with the caps by the way, yea!

[the666bud]

i love it you live in my shoes i see things that make you want to smoke weed or drank just like you lol lol can't stop it hurts

[RuXTaR]

Fender must sue the guy!

[mrfutara]

I'll bet it got Homeland Security's attention!

[UdderPunch6]

@mrfutara LOL. Classic.

[Georgeathens]

Great! That's a real bomb!!

[kaferere]

There are some amazing stories to be told by electronics engineers and call-out repair men. Please believe me when I say that unless you have spent some time doing service calls to people in the home, you have no idea how bizarre the public really is, and I include doctors, lawyers, surgeons etc. There should be a forum dedicated to engineers stories.How about a surgeon using a WEM Copicat footswitch to switch 240v on a wet operating room floor? You don't believe me? Thanks for posting.

[dbbigdaddy]

I'll answer everyones question about how it sounded...like a three alarm fire waiting to happen. shoelaces are made of cotton which is not an insulator! all those wires are touching,he has four five and six caps soldered together in a feeble attempt to gain the correct value...bad news. hopefully the breaker would have blown !!

[BayouBluesMan]

the guy at the back that keep interupting is a HUGE STINK HOLE ABUSER and an idiot

[PhilipPorter]

Dudes! You found my Amp!!!

I can explain everything...

[this1smyne]

i got nothing good for christmas, but this video made it all better. HILARIOUS!

[OrangeCountyCarl]

It was probably "modded" by TAG.....TAG knows tone !!

[PRCpower]

I saw this kind of stuff in Hi-Fi world but this is hilarious :D

This guy was probably some hi-fi freak seeking out of the holy grail sound.

Probably Kirk Hammett paid some guru to put this one together after meditating for couple of decades and realizing he sounds like full throttle washing machine stuffed with LSD-d cats.

[Monkeypumper420]

Meth + Amp repair = this video....

Meth is bad umkaayyy....

[BionicSam]

Did you ever try the amp out with these extreme engineering implementations? You know it reminds me of the Back to the Future Car when I saw the bank of oversized (second hand?) caps. That part of the complex design may be part of his flux capacitor an attempt to time travel when 120decibels are reached. If you decide you have the nerves and life insurance to power up and slam a power cord, pls video it watch chngs 2 your space time continiuum,no paradox! take extra strings so you can get back.

[jmcinvale]

I hope to hell it had a solid state rectifier otherwise he would have been replacing rectifier tubes every time he flipped the power switch on.

[bl8tmate]

that is the coolest!!

[pegasomarcelo]

Nice video !!!

SEE THIS:

Turn Radio into Guitar Amp:

[nicholassmth1]

I agree with these guys and also what was the guy smoking or thinking when he did this thing. All i can say is i'm freaking speechless and to think i have seen everything that can be done yet.

[dannycookson]

who cares why the crazy guy did what he did...

the real question, is what does it sound like??!?!

[DrummingEvil]

@dannycookson no:... will it blend?

[navdave]

HOLY SHIT I SAW MEL GIBSON ROCKING THAT AMP ON A MAD MAX MOVIE!!!

SOME ONE CALL MACGYVER QUICK!!!!!!!!!!

[schrojo40]

Now we know where the lost dryer socks go...

[darkerthebetter]

This is legend. The power cable is just incredible ! thats at least 20-30 amps per core, soldered to the back of a plastic switch rated at 5 total

WTF is that tray full of coke can size caps ?!

You guys made this up surely ?

[ManMartin]

@darkerthebetter the caps are actually to power the rest of the band.

[jesse2952]

why didnt they play on it? I dont even know if id wanna turn it on myself haha.!!

[69superlead]

how did it sound??LOL

[Linqua2112]

that is amazing.

[SwampAshSpecial]

holy fuck!!

[ibanezman007]

I am suprised that this amp hasnt caught on fire and melted itself.

[yungskiz]

im interested in this stuff, mods, how sound works ect, i have a basic understanding, but this just baffles me, wtf happened !?!?!?!

[comanchehotspot]

this "machine" did not create the magical tone of a lifetime. It changed his hearing and sound perception. a brain tumor awaits him.

[damrak1969]

Legend has it that the owner of this amp achieved the sweetest, most trancendent, magical and heavenly tone from this amp for approximately 27 seconds before it blew up. It was the tone of the Gods, the sound guitarists have sought for decades. Then, even after years of experimentation - he was never able to create the sound again. It was a staggering and heartbreaking loss for guitarists everywhere....so he took it to the shop to make it a crappy Fender amp again.

[tinyosborne]

How does it sound???????

[86108610]

ahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha­hahahahahahahaahhahahaahahhaah­ahahahahahhaahahahahahhaahhaah­ahahaaaaaaaaaaaa the oil caps

[MattiasOfTheMetal]

I know what they were trying to do..

They were trying to make a bomb.

haha

Honestly, I'm kinda curious as to how it sounded.

[BlueBarrier782]

LOLOLOL

[dompascarella]

this is just insane

[guitarcapo]

I really can't laugh until I hear how it sounds.

[TKDWolf]

It looks like the same guy who 'restored' my brother's RX-7 modded this amp.

[ausguitarist]

good but who the fuck is that annoying guy in the back that is always talking over the guy explaining it

[marshallplexi3]

@ausguitarist

LOL!!!! tell that little peckerhead to shut the hell up!!

[darthinfurnus]

@ausguitarist

Yeah, that high pitched bastard needs a cock in his mouth. Maybe that'll teach him a lesson. When grown ups are talking...shut the fuck up!

[waxandwires]

@ausguitarist Who let Steve Buscemi in the shop?

[Ashadowtotheworld]

bah..the silly person in the video obviously doesnt get it...its clearly a time travel machine

[SICKPUP32]

what does it sound like.......good/ bad???????may look like shit but does it sound good????

[glenfenderman]

Honestly, that looks like something that was done by someone on a bad drug trip.

[SpiralDivinity]

ahahhahahahahaha

CLIPS DUDE! WE NEED CLIPS!

[thok101]

we NEED CLIPS

man, that thing is horrifying.

[amberience]

wtf!

[CosmicNed]

Just goes to show a little knowledge can be a VERY dangerous thing- don't do that at home kids...ever...unless you want to go out like Spinal Tap's drummer(s)....

[MYTUBEISAPUSSY]

just simply UNfucking BE-lievable - or better be leavable.....

crack-smokin hifi-tweaks on dirty-bad street-meth or who ever this might have been doin:

now i understand why they invented houses for the lunatics !!!

[mytimeconsumed]

That's fricken awesome... I wish you would've called me so I could have checked it out. I'm still trippin on the cloth jackets. Was that supposed to be like heat shielding like they use on thermocouples and heating elements? The cap bank is fricken cool. I bet that was to get Tigre and Bunny exited.

[veeshead]

It's funny to imagine the person who did this "work" somehow seeing this video.dan

[famouspogs]

please oh god you have to give a sound clip. i will die so incredibley happy if i fucking hear that amp. please i swear i really mean it message me if you upload a clip of it i will do anything

[emanarias]

The cloth covered cable must make this amp sound amazing! I did the same thing to a blender I own. Purest, most organic taste ever in my Jackfruit smoothies. Definitely recommended in Jackerville!

[lastwinj]

wow. that's one major fire waiting to happen. reason behind slitting the ribbon cable, was to further iisolate the conductors to reduce interaction is my guess. kinda dumb in practice, just replace with real wire..... doH!!!!

[patfurlan]

I don't know ... but the 10ga wire

external capacitor bank and all that stuff

are car audio "mojo"

[patfurlan]

modded by a car hi fi installer

who's used to doing expert work on Hondas

LOL

[tnycrmb]

How did you know that? Were you just guessing?

[tnycrmb]

It's a shame you couldn't see the mods to the cab & speakers, they're just as crazy.

[SearcySW]

I hear you all laughing but 10ga power supply wire is what Eddie uses to get the "Brown Sound".

[boyertron]

lol!

[demonufo]

@SearcySW

What the hell are you talking about. Eddie talked so much crap in interviews to deliberately mislead. I can't believe you actually bought that crap.

[SearcySW]

@demonufo Are you sure? No... wait... I think you might be right. How could I have been such a fool... My family is forever shamed. Thank you so much kind citizen for showing me the error of my ways. Now I shall toil to redeem myself. Please... Please continue on your righteous journey spreading truth and shining your cleansing light of knowledge upon the unwashed masses. God Bless You Sir!

[martyfriedman86]

@SearcySW. That's just one way. Black tolex works for me.

[satelliteamps]

Done and done. Thanks for filming O.
