Exclamation N.E.S. Amp Head?!?!?!

I was watching a video of Anamanaguchi performing Airbrushed live and I noticed the most epic amp head I have ever seen in my entire life. I want to know if such a thing would be possible to get my hands on, or to be able to make. Let me know what you think.

Airbrushed (Live, Acoustic) - Anamanaguchi:

That's not a head. It's an NES that they're using to get their synth sounds. You can see a small screen and a controller they are using with it, and they are running it through that ampeg combo (the guy is playing an acoustic bass unplugged).

But you could certainly modify a modern SS bass head and fit it into an NES case. You'd have to put sufficient venting in it though to keep it cool.

Even though using an actual nes to make music is spinemeltingly bawesome, putting an amp in a nes casing sounds like a really neat idea! I'm makin a mental note right now to try that! Should be no problem at all with a micro. Hell, maybe you could get a controller to adjust the amp controls!

Omg, thanks for the best brainfart this month! Now to buy a broken snes somewhere (because those are like nes'es, only, like, super, man)

Any recommendations on an amp small enough to put inside an NES?
