I suspect those sockets are for 1/4" jacks? You should be able to interpolate those to bananas, and get a feel of the size of this whole thing. :thumbup:

Amazon AU took over a week to not send me the spark despite saying they had stock… so ordered from the US instead, shipped the same day…

The original lunchbox amp. 100watt little monster.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
