So, today I hooked up my amp and got this really heavy nasty distortion which I figured you guys might like .Here's how it all happened.

Now there's some things you need to know. It's a small practice amp, an EKO and I use one of thoose multi-pourpose conectros that can change the voltage and be used to power things that run off 9 volt batteries. That is conected to the wall with a 3-way conector because I have problems in connecting it to an extention cord.

I hooked up my amp, first mistake. Placed and old battery in the guitar (acoustic guitar so it as a piezo), second mistake. Put on the capo at the 3 fret, third mistake. Switched on the amp (the neighbours would say that was the first mistake). Played a chord. MAJOR UNHOLLY DISTORTION!

So I checked the eq on the guitar, the volume, the amp volume, the levels and distortion on the amp. Same thing.

Dumb-@$$ here thinks it might be the capo so I adjust it. Same thing but now it has some cracks, pops and then the sound dies out. SO I figure it was the battery and place a new one. Same thing.

I figure the amp is damaged. No biggie it was 30€ and had 20 years on it so it was bound to happen. But still try to unhook the 3-way adapter and move to a wall socket that doesn't require an extention cord.

The result was an added crackling sound but it didn't die as fast.

I figured it was totalled but tried to place the problem. Wasn't the piezo or the cable so it had to be the amp. I unhook everything and when I unhook the cable from the amp I notice it won't budge.

As I said before the power cord has an adpter to run things that need a 9 volt battery. Guess what? That thing was thrown into the inside of the amp and caught by the magnets in the speaker.

I removed it, hooked everything up again and proceeded to play as nothing happened. Well that was a lie, for a few minutes I pondered if what had hapend wasn't actually dangerous but then I figured I didn't want to worry myself at the time.

So here you go boys and girls if you want some nasty distortion just het a paperclip or something like that inside your amp and go for it... I suggest a vintage paperclip, but it might get a bit muddy...

I'm an idiot....

lol, you're the godfather of unholy metal distortion!

Maybe it's something for 'WITH_FULL_DISTORTION'?
