How do you get the smoke back in the amp?

What...no resistance?

I'm not so sure the OP did *really* notice it was a joke.
Just in case, I offered a straight , useful answer.
FWIW, I have found people *far* more clueless than him and always tried to help anyway.

Forum Bully has spoken,

So okay... The smoke thing is not real, but what about the fire? And my entire house!!! How do you get them back? All cuz I wanted to be in a 80's rock cover band and use pyrotechnics that shot out the amps... Nothing like jamming my Dean lightning V guitar with smoke coming out of that thing!!!

JM you are right, we may have all been being unkind.
I have a close friend for whom I was technical guru. I had a Motorola razor mobile 'phone which I liked because it sat nicely in my breast pocket.
I kept it on vibrate a lot of the time for meetings and such like, and the next setting was 'vibrate before ring'.
My 'phone would vibrate in my pocket, and I would fumble for it and bring it out just as it was ringing. He always used to say "how do you do that?", and the answer always got lost in me answering and usually absenting myself to take the call.
This went on for several years, and he never admitted not knowing.
Sigh!
Is it just the fact that we've all been caught by the charged capacitor that makes us astute?
Or is the name Birchwood synonymous with smoke, and fire, and none of the one without the other?
I notice he hasn't come back to us......

There's 2 main ways that I am aware of:
1. Borrow Hermonie's time turner neklace.

2. Borrow Ferdinand Magellane's astrolabe from warehouse 13.

I always try to help people who want to travel back in time. No problem, thank me later.

Shades of UK Vox controlled heater warmup. Just for the record, "brimistor" is an outdated term for a thermistor.

OK, here's another one - a NORBIT.........(and don't come back with NIRBOT)

I remember brimistors !
Not my area, but they were used in those series connected filament TVs (P series tubes or Philip's "A" technology) , I guess to smooth somewhat the turn on.
Otherwise some of them would "flash" and maybe last less.
