The worlds smallest Tube Amp

by

The Nanohead from this company called ZVEX, is considered the smallest Tube amp in the world. For those of you tired of lugging those big heavy mothers up and down stairs, this puppy could very well save you from back problems later on in life (Ha, ha)!

This little baby comes in one colour, has a universal adapter for use in any country.

It has a tone(both high and low) control, a brightness control (only works @ low volume) and comes with a 1/4 inch plug for your external speaker hook up (8 or 16 Ohm cabinets only).

The thing that I got a laugh from the video is that it comes with an internal speaker. It has a self resetting fuse, which I like. There is a tiny little light that tells you that you’ve blown the fuse on it.

It has a 12 volt power supply and a mini fan to cool this hot little puppy down when your axe is pushing it to it’s limit!

A perfect little gift for all you camping rockers out there!

The Gibson Robot Guitar

by

The Gibson Robot guitar takes the hassle out of tuning your guitar. This new revolutionary technology seems like something right out a science fiction novel.

Imagine the freedom to have the ability to tune your guitar while playing live.This allows you to talk to the crowd without pauses. Now this is something that I just had to investigate further! This is what Gibson says!

The company that the license for this aspect of the Les Paul is called Tronical, a German company. This seems to be some very cool and yet, useful technology that can be used as a remedial tuning system that even my mom could use.

All you have to have are good eyes and know which tuning that you would need to be in to work. You simply have to turn the dial(TuneControl-MultiKnob) to the appropriate letter, indicating which tuning you need, and the the Powertune technology does the rest. It’s that easy. I’ve only heard of this lately and I’ve never seen or have used this, but to me it looks like a no-brainer!

The only drawback could be the price … about $2500.00 (Can).

If anyone out there has one of these beauty’s, can you please give us an insight into this new world of guitar innovation? We’re waiting to hear from you and your experiences very soon.

HUGE propane explosion in Toronto

by

There was a huge explosion early this morning in north/west Toronto. It originated from a company called Sunrise Propane. The person who first called 911 was an employee of the company, unfortunately he has not been seen since that call.

This pic was taken from the CP24 web site.

The blast was so massive that it was seen from as far away as Niagara on the lake, around 1 1/2 hour drive from the scene. CNN, CBC and CityPulse 24 has been working overtime on this story and it now seems to be under control. There has been only on fatality to date. The casualty was a fire fighter.

My wife’s site has a little more detail for you.

Please check out Flickr here for more pics.

Let’s pray for those who have been injured and lost their lives in this horrific event.
