So if you're at all like me, sometimes you don't pay attention and order 1/2 watt resistors. Well my collection seems to be growing. What can I do with these big ol resistors?

Make a boost or an overdrive, and post it over at TGP stating how these resistors give increased headroom.

If the board isn't tightly packed, you can just use them as standing resistors.

Most of the resistors in the preamp of a tube amp are 1/2-watt.

I guess you'll just have to build a tube amp.  With a built in phaser.
