I need an 880 watt load box so I can re-amp...er SLAVE this thing at 72dB with this:

That might have made sense in 1968 when PA’s sucked, but what a stupid waste of time in 2026.

FYI, the thing he mentioned about feeling off after playing it is something I have experienced with subwoofers and very low frequencies. I wonder if they are allowing enough very low frequencies through to get the same effect.

A solid 98% of stuff we discuss around here is a stupid waste of time. Generously.

It is so ridiculous that it’s kind of cool someone did it.

Point taken, but I think a lot of work went into building that thing, custom iron etc, and it really is pretty much pointless other than as a “look how absurd this thing is” subject for a YouTube video.

Now if it had a touch screen and could load NAM files…

I feel like that was the whole point. It’s kind of a gimmick for the internet and social media that they know they’ll sell a few of just because of the novelty of it.

Their website says they’ll make a few and it will be special order only. Also mention wanting to talk to potential buyers to make sure they understand what they’re buying, haha

Cool.

And...maybe because it seemed fun?

Is the chicken local though?

I'll hold out for the v2 when they add the extra 120w.
