Just wow.

Okay, so I'm an idiot and put this in the wrong forum. So, uh, technical merits of solder-free tube amps. I can't think of any.

Just remember to lick your finger ends before grabbing those colorful banana jacks kids...

i dont understand this whole 'crowdfunding' thing.... could somebody explain with the use of an analogy? preferably one that doesnt help? umm its like a banana; go!

where do i plug in the hose? im so confused, i thought amps were like water, i dont see no water?! im giving a negative donation..... NERD SQUIGGLES!!!! im halfway through and thoroughly pissed!!

sounds like shit! what a terrible recording of an awful idea..... fitting i guess

you pissed me off first thing in the morning, before coffee even.... TGIF

Too bad Gerry didn't get to the part of the discussion about the safety or the importance of lead dress.

Looks like a nice grab and glow amp!

I am dumbfounded that anyone here helped this POS!

Rewards: The Banana Jack Key Ring + The Life-Size Banana Jack Annotated Schematic (suitable for framing) + All of our entertaining educational materials (including Kenn's delightful book and our step-by-step assembly manual that explains the workings of a guitar amp in the same simple terms) + The Original Banana Jack Amp Kit (speaker not included)

Note the manual he is offering for a reward.

This is how Kickstarter works:

That Rube Goldberg contraption is dangerous.

Dammit, if you unplug those banana jacks in the wrong order, and touch the exposed ends, filter caps zap you.

What the hell.

Never mind the likelihood of wires tearing out of plugs, accidentally or intentionally unplugging while it's turned on, etc.

+1 for sentiment.

+10 for presentation.

He's going to need separate crowdfunding for a legal defense fund to handle all the product liability claims. Can you imagine what UL or CE would say about this?

[Reeltarded]

^^ that is exactly what the man in my head told me.

[briane]

But tube amp kits cost a lot, they're hard to put together, and nobody but nerds can understand them.

hmm - thinky old parole officer might disagree with 'nerd' a bit

ok, maybe Im a nerd, but a cool butt kicking old a$$hole of a nerd.

I think he's admitting he doesnt understand tube amps....

[armillary]

Swapping the order of the building blocks will no doubt result in a one-of-a-kind custom sound! It's just made for experimenting!

[gui_tarzan]

I wonder if anyone ever mentioned that you only need to be hanging onto one wire if you're grounded...

Hopefully a lawyer looking for investment opportunities will see it and tell him about all of the lawsuits he's looking at if he takes this to market.

[Reeltarded]

But, is it safe?

Is it?

Is it safe?
