Dampening sound was done and damping gravity was a thing, but Wade's
amplifier was an entirely new use of those technologies. Jen and Wade
could make music but were novices controlling the networked amp, Lucky
was expert at both playing the music, and controlling the amp though his
infection. Stand's to reason: Lucky, had been infected the longest out
of their crew, and pre-infection had carried an implanted for years. In
fact, Wade and Jen had known Lucky for all their lives, and could not
remember him not having an implant. I, on the other hand know the
specific time and date he was first logged in. Prior to that, I can
only glean the memories of mom, dad, Ted, and of course Lucky. From
what I can gather, the one thing that he was good at during his isolated
years, was playing music. After his first log in, it became clear that
his visceral musical ability translated to a masterful command of the
network, and when infected, the synergy between Lucky and the network
was a force to behold. Un or fortunately Wade was the only person to
realise this aptitude of his and built a suite of technology around it,
Lucky's favorite is the amplifier, and is a master of it. He work's his
bass guitar in conjunction with the amp's damping field's, commandeers
the beat and channel's it to Jen and Wade. Controlling your self and
playing along with Lucky, is like lucid dreaming, if you know it's a
dream it's hard not to break the spell and wake up
