It seems counter-intuitive to have a flow geater then your pressure. I always assumed that when you make a super conductor your volts would equal your amps as you have 0 resistance. But from what I calculated the only way to get higher amps then volts is to have fractional resistance which doesnt make much [...]

Without any complex wiring or anything involved, what if I simply stuck a couple of cables through my guitar, two pactice amps, and a special cable connector thing (which overall is allowing me to follow through with this experiment)? Would it blow up?
No. It shouldn’t.
