Those things look and sound unholy as hell! That's not a sound you're gonna find at any NAAM show.
Some time back I worked on several sessions w/ Ry Cooder. I asked if there was anything he needed...he said " 20 gallon galvanized trash can". I said, OK fine figuring he was planning on generating a lot of trash. (With Ry you never know.) We got the trash can, he shoved it up against his amp, taped down the handles, took the mics we had carefully placed on the amp, and pointed them about 2 inches from the center of the (now lying on its side) trash can and began to play. I'm here to tell you it was a ragged ass thing of beauty, like a harmongus resonator. No digital effect can make that sound and none can match those cigar box jobbies either!
