Note that Miss Massy is using the light bulb to create distortion, which I suppose we could consider non-linear attenuation, but not exactly the same as the more typical "power soak" kind of thing. I tend to think a fluorescent bulb would act like a diode, so that in series it will create crossover distortion, and in parallel it will provide clipping/clamping, but I've never really looked that far into it nor tried it.
I just saw on today a joke post from the Behringer facebook account with a picture of a TRS > 3 prong plug and the caption "don't try this at home". If the plug is an outy, it's definitely a horrible idea, but if it's an inny, I don't think it can hurt much.
EXCEPT you'd kind of want to be careful about impedances. As we know, tube amps can fail catastrophically when the load is way off from what it expects. Solid state amps are usually a bit better at handling "fault" conditions, but you'd still want to be careful with any amp you actually care about.

Oh hey I fixed it!
Opened up my Donner Verb Square, poked around with the free end of a big cap alligator clipped to the cable until I figured out about where the signals were getting mixed. Took a pic with my phone so I could zoom in far enough to see the smd components and the traces on the board. Poked around some more and narrowed it down to one of two resistors. Shorting one end of one of them killed the dry signal while allowing the wet through. I’m sure scraping it off with a nail is not the way you’d be taught in school, but I got rid of that one R without ruining everything else, and... didn’t help. The second R didn’t respond to the nail treatment, but wire snipper did the job, and so...
It’s 100% wet forever! Exactly what I need from it.

Am I too late to the party? My favorite pedal: Oh come on, you know the thread's title was just asking for it! But I do admit that I'm a bit mystified as to why gumbo didn't beat me to it.

Sir sumgai, reTrEaD chose a non-guitar pedal… not a bicycle, but it does provide wheeled transportation as well. 👍😶🌫️ what’s your favorite pedal? This one: 🤣

sumgai - When I was a kid, the pedals to have were the “bear trap” style. You never had to worry about your shoe slipping off, though they super sucked for riding barefoot.

Also had the extender-levers on the handbrakes. I got the white finish 'cause that got you the cool black decals and handlebar tape- all the other colors came with white letters and tape.
