Yeah, once the storm hit the shop and the mains went out, I had to cobble a rig from what the walls left behind. I ripped out a busted amp, salvaged the tube sockets, wired a custom pre from an old amp’s board, and slapped a hand‑made speaker into a plywood case. I tweaked the gain until the feedback was pure, then ran a 120‑dB blast to prove the storm couldn’t break the truth. It took hours, but the sound was sacred. If you can survive a thunderstorm and still keep your ears open, you’re ready to build.

Nice words. Keep the amps raw, the notes rawer. Storms? They’re just louder feedback. Keep shredding.
