While trying to come up with good names for amps or reverb units or whatever i built or rebuilt, i also got to know bad names for circuits that wouldn't cut it but made their dent in history or fortunately did not. So i am asking you to post names given or better given to circuits that do or better do not exist. Like the Sound Shitty i got to know meself or the Humming Bird, i built meself. Fire at will, please.

I never wanted to know anything about a car stereo company called Sparkomatic...that just sounds like one of nature's warning signs primates should avoid (except maybe Jungle Book's King Louie). That was just wrong in my mind.
That is reason #1 to deter me from naming an amp 'Sparkomatic' or 'Sparky'. Being someone's trademark or similar is reason #2.
I have used the prefixes Abomino- & Franken- for a variety of electronic and photographic 'things' that worked. Especially if ugly and functional.

those were some quality amps, K-mart $9.99
I had a 20W plus a 5 band EQ, made it through 2 cars, although my cars back then lasted 3-6mths! You could find a runner for $50 and the scrapyard would give you $30 for anything that had 4 tires with air

I had a vision of the car stereo dragging behind the car, attached (just corrected mistyped attacked) by wires, banging and sparking like empty cans behind a wedding car.
