So, exactly how many "tuck 'n roll" Kustom amps can you plug into one light bulb socket ?

This takes me back a bit as it was in the 80's, but we plugged in a Peavey 1960's 900 Watt powered mixer, two 120 watt guitar amps, 3 keyboards (pre-wall wart), and several effects units into the one plug. At the time I played bass and keys in that band and and all my gear ran through the powered mixer which we nicknamed "big power". Now that I've done the math we didn't exceed 15 amps with all of that wattage, but we were right at the limit. I think we had more UL violations with the age and quality of our gear than we did with the NEC.

Being honest, we were dumb and we were lucky. The moral of the story is that our trains don't draw nearly that kind of power.
