Well I'm forcibly retard

Have ever considered working on vintage equipment like guitar amps and such?
Funny you should mention that. My former super is doing just that. In his "misdirected yute" he played in a band around the local area, and has picked a guitar in some way ever since. He is a hell of a tech, about my age (around 70) and knows what a guitar amp should sound like.

Guitar amps are a special breed. They are intentionally not hif fidelity. They intentionally use distortion to introduce the "sound" you want

He is also working on a couple of designs of his own, and if anyone can do it, I bet he can.
