Hey look Yngwie. And all I can think about is doing PA at fenders Ballroom 1985, Yngwie shows up with4 Marshall full stacks and keyboard player shows up without any rig at all. So we pull one of Rat Trap 5 main PA speakers and replace it with a road case, wire it up to a spare BGW 1000 amp and build him a rig, all good. Show time finale serves a grandiose million note guitar solo into a dueling banjo's style followed by a million note keyboard solo, back and forth crescendo, Loud a s all can be when I notice plumes of smoke waiting from the rat trap keyboard rig. And then a red glow and just as I start my spring to stage, mid long tailed tux keyboard player on a note marathon, poof. Silence Those old BGW amps had a circuit breaker in the front as the power switch and it had had enough of trying to juice the now burning speaker. So I ran up on stage, dumped a beer on the burning cone, unplugged the amp input driving the bad speaker, and turned the amp back on and I can't recall what happened after that.
