It is the belief among some Big B fans that he is doing a lot of "Circuit-Bending" on many of his songs.....I want to try this. You guys ever experimented with this? Here's a quote from some dude on the Bucketboard:

"
I have bent over 24 childrens toys that i have bought from thrift stores, and i have also bend cheap guitar pedals. If you saw bucketheasd this most recent tour,then you would've seen him using circuit bent toys.look up Circuit bent in Google.comLook it up on EBayThis is not bullshit.This is real.People are bending drum machines, telephones.Any thing with a circuit board. You might accidentally fry what you are working on, but thats the price for something so unique.You take a kids toy and open it up. There is usually some sort of circuit board inside connected to a battery and a speaker. Taking a small 20 gauge wire and short circuit the board by randomly connecting two points on the back of the board while activatling the toy. You can get crazy distorted 8 bit sounds, or a long low LFO's. then you solder those two connections with a potentiomoter and an on off switch, and you've bent your first boardIts that easy.Try looking up your FACTS ravefromthegra ve.Electroenge nneering degree or PHD or not. This is real. I call you on your stupidity."

You know how many times I've been zapped working on amps? Enough...
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

That sounds believable to me. Years ago, we'd  do similar
tricks to radio equipment to alter frequency oscillators for
various reasons.( that I can't go into detail here) :smt071
Audio circuits would be just as susceptable to such mods.
I wouldn't recommend hacking into your new amp. But if
you could find a battery operated keyboard or game at a
flea market or yard sale for cheap, have at it !

I've been reading a little into it and think I'll give it a shot with some dollar store pocket poker game or something....a pparently people have been doing it for decades.

....whoever thinks I'm going to cut open my amp is one crazy ass crackah.

Take the bucket off your head, fill with water and then stand in it when you do it.

I'll write that down. Last night I tried to "bend" a bug zapper in the bathtub. I'll never walk right again.
