| Greetings!
Coming up on 3 years of monthly newsletters. It's about
time I took a moment to shout out a big THANK YOU to all those
who take time out of their day to contribute - and do so
for nothing more that an occasional THANK YOU. Why? Because
they share the same crazy passion for weird guitars and wacky
amps that you and I do. So, PLEASE take a moment to send
them a message and your own personal THANK YOU.
Joey
Leone, Michael Wright, Rob
Roberge, Don
Mackrill and Kirk
Lorange.
We are always looking for new contributors, so if you have
something that you would like to share, drop
me a line. Enjoy the newsletter!

This month's column will feature some of my favorite
vintage pedals and effects. These choices will be from my
point of view and experience, and as I cannot with expertise
speak about effects that I cannot use in the type of music I
play (which is blues, old school country, classic rock and
50's and 60's R&B). I again welcome all suggestions for
your favorite effects.

Travel with us now Back to the - no, not the Future, but -
the 1970s! Back to nature. Long hair. Deer-hide jackets with
fringe. Back when the taste for things au naturale began to
show up in guitars. Back when clearcoat finishes began to
reveal alternating laminates of light and dark wood, often
maple and mahogany or walnut. Back to a time when Martin built
this 1979 Martin EM-

The Jimmy Page Factor...
Just a few years ago, some of the great bargains on the
vintage amp market were the Valco-made Supro amps of the 50's
and 60's. While their price has gone up for many reasons (the
most justifiable one being a lot of them are GREAT sounding
amps), the primary reason seems to be the Jimmy Page
factor.

Class A tube guitar amps. Everyone's heard the term. It's
generally associated with higher-end amps in support of an amp
maker's claim that their product sounds "better". I'll leave
the debate as to which is better to others. What I want to
discuss is what Class A really means and, from the pet peeve
perspective, to debunk many amp manufacturers' claims that
their products are Class A when clearly they're not! You may
be surprised at how many amp makers falsely claim Class A
operation. So, let's review, in practical terms, what Class A
really is and learn a simple rule of thumb you can use to spot
operating class BS!

One of the 36,000 or so members at my other site Guitar for
Beginners and Beyond recently pointed me to a Gary Moore
YouTube video of him playing 'Still got the Blues for You'.
What a great player and what a great tune. I started fiddling
around with the chord progression in my office on the nylon
and my girlfriend asked if I was playing Lionel Richie's
'Hello'. A bit later on a friend dropped around and asked if
it was Santana's 'Europa'.
