The other day I was wondering if it was possible to use compressed air to amplify sound, and after a few hours of fruitless brainstorming a friend found an extant technology that does exactly that: the auxetophone.

"Have you heard the auxetophone? It is to be hoped not. All Mr. Parsons' turbines will be wanted to take long-suffering humanity out of earshot of his diabolical invention"

Here's one of the few videos of it in operation, and it sounds... well.

I can't tell how much of the hiss and tinny quality is from the original phonograph recording versus from the auxetophone itself, but it clearly both 1) works and 2) sounds bad. It works very similarly to a tornado siren, the biggest difference being that the sheet of metal slats reciprocates irregularly (with the waveform to be amplified) rather than rotating continuously. And it's about as loud as a tornado siren, too.

I'm sure you could create a volume control that makes it more bearable, but electric amplification came out only a few years later and is so much better so there's not much reason to iterate on the auxetophone as an audio technology. Still, it's always sick as hell to do something modern without electricity!

Broke: Corrupted!Alina will help bring back Aleksander and they're going to evily rule the world together.

Woke: Mal will help bring back Aleksander, because he's the only one who can stop Corrupted!Alina and nobody else realizes she's fucked up except for Mal, who has been freed from her spell when he stopped being influenced by being an Amplfier.

Bespoke: The same as before, but Zoya is also the Dragon QueenTM and she and Alina are trying to run the world into the ground unquestioned because something something Saints can't do no wrong.

I have been using virtual amplifier simulations for the last years and they have served their purpose, but there’s always this mushiness to the edge of the sound that I find unsatisfying. There is also the factor that I need to have to keep different wires running from my guitar to my computer and then into my headphones to be able to use this simulations, and this can get to cumbersome for my liking, and add the fact of constantly having to open window after window in order to change settings even after having a part recorded. Having this option is as much a blessing as a curse. Ironically, I find the freedom to be limiting and a waste of time.

Recently, it has come to my attention that the chinese company Joyo manufactures what is known as “amp simulation pedals” which replicate the sound of a real amplifier in a tiny compact box, and I have been rather liking the sounds coming out of these tiny boxes. They are also sold by the European brand Harley Benton under its name, and they are quite inexpensive (about $30 apiece).

I hope to aquire one of such units for my testing and hopefully they sound as good in person as in the reviews I have seen.

Addendum: I would probably still end up running this pedal into my computer with all the pain that involves, but eliminating one piece of software from the signal chain frees up valuable processing power that can be spent on other tasks, such as being able to keep my other effects running at a higher quality setting than otherwise feasible. Or I would still keep using virtual amplifiers as the situation called. At the very least, I can still run these pedals for practice with my small, junk amplfier.
