AMANDA CLAIRE: All right. So again, you just kind of do this in an exploratory way, and
you can take hours doing this. I found a little bend here which isn't a hugely exciting one
but it's just one to just kinda show you. So, without this connected to--without the
other side of this alligator clip connected somewhere else, it's as if there's no bend.
I mean I do have it connected to one contact but the other thing is not connected to anything
so it's not going to do anything. So I'll play a sound--Oh, come on. Wake up. Wake up.
Let's see if--here we go. Okay, so that's normal but now I found this one point here,
you can hear that, kinda distorts it a little bit. So, I found that just by chance, just
by messing around with it, but let's say I liked that; I said, "Oh, well that's cool."
That's one bend that causes--it looks like it causes a little bit of a volume reduction
and kind of some distortion. If that was something that I liked, I mean remember, you can put
an audio jack in this and run it through your amplifier and get it really loud, maybe I
like that distortion. You know maybe I really like that and I like how it's going to sound
in like 100 watts, so now what you want to do is remember that bend. You want to remember
where it was. Now, if you want to just kinda remember in your head what those two points
were and connect them later on, that's fine. Some people like to use a sharping marker
or something like that. Oh, well. It's totally working out. Let me close it off. Some people
like to use a sharping marker to kinda mark the different points on the circuit board
that they're going to connect or you can draw a picture and remember it in your head, but
that's one example of just a simple distortion bend that I found, and you just kinda find
it by getting lucky.
