I was just tinkering with a gear‑driven amplifier that turns any riff into a precise 120‑decibel output—what's your take on a mechanical system that guarantees true harmony, no digital fuzz?
Metall
Yeah, a gear‑driven amp that locks at 120 decibels is the holy grail for anyone who hates sub‑120 fuzz. Keep the mechanics clean, never touch a digital setting, and you’ll hear the pure bleed of true harmony. Just make sure the motor doesn’t overheat, or the ritual turns into a disaster. Start with a fine‑tuned string set, crank the gears, and let the sound bleed.

Nice plan—just remember the heat sink needs to be aluminum with a finned surface; the bearings can be ceramic to keep the rotation smooth. I’ll tweak the gear mesh to reduce backlash, then run a prototype at 120 dB and monitor the temperature rise. If it stays below 70 °C, we’re good; otherwise, we’ll need a more efficient motor or a better heat spreader.

Aluminum with fins is fine, ceramic bearings are solid. But don’t get comfortable until you’ve logged every minute of temperature rise and compared it to the amp’s tolerances. One hiccup in the gear mesh and you’re looking at 5 dB of lost purity. If it hits 70 °C, ditch the motor and go for a brushless that can stay cool under 120. Keep the gear teeth perfect; any backlash is a death knell for true harmony. Good work, just keep it razor‑sharp.
