You could crank everything up as high as it goes and throw a booster in front to push the speaker past its limits. That would get some nasty distortion in it and probably wreck the thing. Truthfully, I think that you'd be happier getting something like a Dwarfcraft Shiva/TGD or a Devi Ever White Spider, Rocket, or Shoegazer. Then again, you could just try slicing the thing up some more to your liking.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

Perhaps you have an strangely designed cone, I got drunk last night and listened to music so loud that my speakers have blown and distort now ( :facepalm: ) so if that can do it, i'm sure some cuts must have some affect... maybe you've heard fuzz so much it now sounds clean, or you have it on a low enough volume that the cone isn't moving, you do need to crank it really for the affect.

I think this started because Hendrix and the Who would do this in the 60's. But like a lot of the fashion of the 60's, this is something that should be left in the past. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, just had a quick look on google for some back up info and look what came up as the top link
I Love Fuzz • View topic - Cutting Speakers
www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=5846

But this method has been performed by Dave Davies of the kinks and prior to him Link Wray, pencils and razors are the way forward, no specific cuts really but go for the furthest part out of the cone as that is gunna vibrate the most effectively, go to town on it though as I think letting your 'Artistic' anger out on it will get you further.

I think we need Randal smith to invent an amp that changes from an unbroken speaker channel to a broken one.
