The replica amp is not only fitted with realistic looking knobs, a grille, handle, speaker, switches, power cords and foot switches, but also has similar internal wiring to match. But because all of this was constructed using Lego parts, the amplifier doesn't actually work. That's ok though—since it's not being held together using glue or any other sort of adhesives, if someone were to actually rock out on this amp, it'd fall to pieces. [Fender via CrunchGear]

His barn/garage, filled with vintage sports cars like a 1969 Camaro and modern Aston Martin, is also home to over 6,000W of sound. You see, Whitworth likes to listen to his music for hours on end at volumes of 120dB, or louder than a "loud" rock concert, about 5dB away from pain and right in the range of hearing loss. I said, right in the range of hearing loss!!

So his barn is filled with six JBL Pro concert models (not consumer grade stuff, which would just break on him), two 18-inch subs and two more "half-fridge-size" Velodyne Digital Drive 1812 Signature Edition subwoofers, which each contain hardware for both upper and lower bass response. Of course, there's 6400W of amplification to support all that speaker power, but even still, this rig is technically only a stereo. There's no surround sound processing.

Because while guns aren't officially part of the Holy Trinity that is sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, just like leather jackets and the propensity to not wash one's hair, they do go hand-in-hand with the lifestyle.

Of course you don't need the Pistol Instrument Cable to rock. But if you find yourself standing on stage with an equally talented, equally drugged and equally attractive rocker, you'll be glad to have the boost. $25. [Core One via Nerd Approved]

To the un-rock'n'roll like me, the object above looks like a TV cabinet, or a disco oven - but, like I said, I've never had much of a fever for cowbell. This is the Stratos from Hovland, an amp that was 20 years in the making. And this is the price: $50,000. More on what it has and what it does (and doesn't) after the jump.

400W of power into 8 ohms, 625W into 4 ohms and 800W into 2 ohms.
Measurements are 356mm x 244mm x 476mm
Weighs in at a hefty 41kg per channel.
Will give you more cowbell (probably), grief from your other half (definitely), but no 11 on the volume. Shame. – Ad Dugdale

Well, the Boostaroo Revolution looks nice (only $50, too), but do people actually need their headphones' volume to be boosted that high? Aren't you afraid that you'll damage your hearing? – Nicholas Deleon
