How's that for a thread title? Anyway ...
Let's say a hypothetical good-looking man was busy building a cigar box amplifier, and was so distracted that he accidentally drilled two input jack holes instead of one. (Of course, this would never happen in real life!)
But if this did happen, how should said builder go about making the best of a bad situation? Should he just add another input jack in a straightforward way, or should he add an input jack that would somehow be somewhat different from the "normal" one? Like a "hi-gain" and a "lo-gain"? Or something completely different?
Let's further suppose that the poor hypothetical dimwit had limited knowledge of wiring and circuitry in general. Is there an easy option that would pass for, say, doing something on purpose?

I agree with Silent Jim . Make the 'extra" hole an input jack . I think you can wire one jack to the amp and wire the other jack to the jack wired to the amp .
Lots of great solutions. I gotta say, the dry ice trick has to top the list! Course I just love playing with dry ice anyway and everybody knows stuff stuff just sounds better with effects!
That is an awesome instrument! What I'm building, though, is an amplifier.
Great idea; I'm just not sure how to add the second input...
Gargling Jack - see, just named yer amp for ya.;-)
I might enlarge it some so you could snuggly fit a length of end capped 3/4" copper pipe to it from the inside. Before preforming your best song for friends, drop small chunks of dry ice along with a 1/4 shot of Bourbon into the hole for your impressive special effects grand finale.
Now that's a smokin amp!
Just make sure you put it on the right hole otherwise your amp will squeel and never forgive you......
