[sdiy] Dumbest Mistakes with Synths Contest Anyone?

Anyone care to join me in entering a contest for the dumbest things
done with synths?

Here's my contest entry from a couple of days ago: by accident, I
plugged the output, doh!, of Boss OD-3 guitar overdrive box into the
output of my Juno-60, thus doing some damage to Juno-60.  :-( I
haven't pinpointed exactly where the damage has occurred, but I suspect
that I damaged the chorus circuitry since there's now no difference
between what one hears with chorus I or II; in addition, with some
patches, some of the tuning seems a little off and there's some fuzzy
distortion of an unpleasant variety---worse with the lower notes.
Take for example some of the nice bass from the original (I think)
patches numbers 11 and 12.  I also had a patch I'd created which had
some great bass, which can be heard at the URL given below---now I can
no longer recreate sound that after this synth damage. :-(

Has anyone made a similar mistake with a Juno-60?  Something simple to
fix with easily obtainable parts?  Looking at the schematics, I see
that the chorus circuitry is right before the outputs.  

Here's the URL for the short aforementioned piece of music if anyone's
interested:

The story behind that strange little piece of music is a little long
and involved, but, in essence, it's a short piece of music
representing three people involved in the NAIS "discussing"
depopulation of livestock, followed by the horrific chaos of the mass
killing of all livestock within a 10km radius taking place.
