Going retro, that’s been a trend in guitar amps for a few years. Small, all-tube amps that capture the vintage mojo. For example, take a look at the new Peavey Valveking Royal 8…
The thing is though, you got to sell retro to the kids and that requires some slick wordsmithing…
Perfect for rehearsing, the Royal 8 combo amp features the simple interface of a single tone control, dual inputs, and master volume and gain controls that can be adjusted for either class A “breakup” power amp tones achieved by reducing the gain and increasing the master volume, or preamp distortion, which you can access by reducing the master volume and cranking the gain.
“simple interface”… now, that tickles me!
Take a look at the “interface” on this old Gibson…
The big story, the unavoidable news, the water cooler talk is, of course; our President gave the Queen an iPod.
The Royal iPod…is it a re-gift?…should you give the Queen something you get at BestBuy?…what’s on the iPod?…isn’t it an insult to give a loaded iPod (dead give-away old-person gift)?…and on and on…
if you haven’t seen these yet, they are the best commentary I’ve seen or heard…
