What should I do with my crappy solid state head?

Lets hear the ideas guys!
Its a Crate GT1200H, I have no love for the thing, but I think it might be a cool platform to do some nutty circuit bending or some other BS to.

I'd try to trade/sell it for something wacky. Not trying to be a debbie downer, I love crazy ideas like this, but I don't think circuit bending a high wattage amp would yield any cool results, and probably wouldn't be very safe.

Guitarr center trade bait?

Bummer, I was hoping you guys would fuel my B.U.D.S. syndrome.
Tried for a sale, no one would take it, even for $40.

Hook it up to tiny paper speakers and blast it full volume and see what happens? Maybe there could be some cool blown out sounds to be had without the electrocution risk of circuit bending it. And fwiw I would totally give you $40 for it if i was in your area.

why not find the schematic and see what can be done? I'm sure it could be turned into something better!

Taking a closer, and more realistic, look at the guts.. Circuit is not even close to being user friendly, and with no specific goal in mind modding seems kinda dumb.

Next goal is to rehouse it with plywood, shit in the garage. I'll post pics whenever.

is it 120w?
get a shitty 15" or 18"
split of your board somewhere
maybe put some minus octave in there
put it in the corner and forget about it
just always pumpin lowlow
well maybe not pumpin
like groaning

It'd be cool to pull the guts out of it and turn it into something like a drink dispenser. Or you could hack it up and make a little cooler or something out of it.
