Teach your children well
Kids, don't plug speaker outs into other amplifier inputs or someone will have to call Randall Smith.

Re: Teach your children well
Why, has the boy genius patented this too? Heck I do it all the time. Others have too. Back to the 60's. Prior art y'know, if you want to call it art.Reeltarded wrote:Kids, don't plug speaker outs into other amplifier inputs or someone will have to call Randall Smith.
Thanks for the headsup Miles.

Re: Teach your children well
I have this amp sitting here that used to belong to a famous guy but the OT wasn't the right transformer to get line level, apparently.
Everything should have a BIG RED PLACARD THAT SAYS DON'T

It smells like if we could launch it high enough we could repair up to 50% ozone damage. It works for a few seconds at a time then makes all kind of "hey! stop that!" noise.

Re: Teach your children well
When you started out I thought it had to do with using (usually small) amps as signal boosters. Say a Champ run into another amp. And the Champ loaded with proper dummy resistor.  Seen it done with a Peavey Rage too (no resistor required as Rage is solid snake.) And Trower was reported to have used a Champ-size Selmer as a boost in his Procol days.
BUT this is different. Oooh that smell...
So what famous person did this? Inquiring minds want to know. It's Friday evening & almost time for an adult beverage.

Re: Teach your children well
Someone's kid did it. Ooopsy! 
I once ran a 50 Marshall through sets of headphones for a solo. Mass headphone extinction event. I bet we spent 12 Celestions on that record.
Does MB have crap like this laying around? Do they still make this horken fiber chunk? I guess I need to google asshole transformers.

Isn't that what Randy Bachmann did? That's how the Garnet Herzog came about.

Then there was that awful day some "helpful" person plugged the cans I had on, into the output of a Marshall turning out a full power test 1 KHz sine wave. Not only did the headphones go up in smoke, I couldn't hear for a day (L side only) and still have a deep "ditch" in my L ear response @ 6 to 9.5KHz. Same helpful person at a later date blew up his house (trying to emulate Richard Pryor) and that was the end of him. Despite his tricks he really was a good guy & I wish he sorted out his powdered-goods problems & could be alive n well today.
MB have lots of Oatey-OT's. Likely do have the one you need. Fair prices even. Give 'em a call Monday, but never on a Friday - they're all out surfin'.

Will call Booger on Monday. This amp is kind of pretty. No idea if this was a standard way of covering them.

MB have made some eye candy amps. Ear candy, maybe not so much. Beats looking at black or cream tolex.Reeltarded wrote:This amp is kind of pretty. No idea if this was a standard way of covering them.
Lefty, what's the Garnet Herzog? They put a l'il amp in the front end sorta? Garnet's one brand that's never crossed my workbench. Though somone threatened to bring one in a couple years ago. Gotta give 'em credit for naming an amp after a movie director.
