关键词:through; with; it; that
1、through 是介词,在本短语中意思是,by doing (something)通过做…,以,凭借等。由介词through引导的这个介词短语作状语修饰主句谓语的动词短语“was playing”。
2、with也是介词,这里表伴随,意思是having (a particular characteristic, possession, etc.)具有;拥有;带有。其引导的介词短语在其紧随的名词、代词或名词短语等之后,通常作后置定语修饰其前面的名词成分,相当于having…
注:with介词短语(with引导的复合结构)作后置定语的公式其中有:“with+名词/代词/名词短语+现在分词(表主动,动作均未完成)/过去分词(表被动,动作多已完成)等(+介词)”。
3、it在这里指代"a small ramshackle amp",可以改下成:
…a small ramshackle amp with a pie plate [=had a pie plate that/which was] nailed to it…
4、that指代"a small ramshackle amp with a pie plate…"
相当于…and (with) a beer can [=had a beer can that/which was] dangling against that.
注:由现在分词dangling 引导的分词短语"dangling against that,作限制性定语(相当于上面的定语从句)修饰"a beer can"。

这个through引导的介词短语可以理解为:双重定语从句(其中又有两个嵌套式定语从句):…through a small ramshackle amp that had a pie plate that/which was nailed to it which had a beer can that/which was dangling against that.

参考译文(位于through介词短语中and后的"…a beer can dangling against that."):一支啤酒罐悬靠在这个钉着馅饼盘的扬声器/功放上(,随着大乔威廉姆森弹奏的曲子,一起发出有节奏的碰撞声)。
