Features: I bought this amp used from a friend of mine because I needed a bigger amp to perform. The Crate has 2 footswitchable channels with the onboard effects footswitchable as well. The 2 channels share a 3 band EQ and have 2 seperate volume controls. There are 2 gain settings along with a "shape" control that affects the overall tone of the distortion. Effects include 3 types of reverb, 3 types of delay, 2 flangers, 2 choruses, retry (a sort of vibrato), octave, 2 auto wahs, and a doubler. All effects can be activated with the footswitch. This may be a solid state amp but it provides a very good distortion without the hassle of tube replacement. The amp has 2 12" speakers (thus the moniker 212) that get loud. // 8 Sound: I use an Ibanez GAX70 (otherwise known as a piece of crap) but I've run a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser and an American Fender Strat through it.
A deep love of music
Heading out on yet another European tour, rock band Deep Purple show no signs of stopping. But despite more than a decade playing with the band, guitarist Steve Morse tells Claire Hill why he's still the new boy THE pre-tour checklist for Deep Purple's lead guitarist sounds pretty strange to many people. 1.

Millions of people with BlackBerry wireless devices in North America found themselves unable to connect to the Internet during a service interruption that began Tuesday night and extended into this morning. Research in Motion (RIM) Ltd., which is based on Waterloo, Ontario, said its BlackBerry wireless service suffered a "service interruption." Service for some users was restored earlier this morning. The company said it is investigating the cause of the problem, which affected most of the company's 8 million customers. "Once there's been a service outage of this proportion, RIM's challenge is to turn service back up to its users incrementally to allow the probably hundreds of millions of clogged emails in their servers to disperse gradually. Otherwise, they would just cause another major service outage," said Carmi Levy, senior research analyst with Info-Tech Research Group, a Canadian company.
Clare Coulson: Dyslexia - spelling it out
I am a writer. I am a linguist. I am dyslexic. The first two go hand in hand, but the third may seem paradoxical. I do not think so. To be a writer one must be creative, incisive and observant, have an inquiring mind. A compelling story hinges on pace and plot, vivid images and insight. Perfect spelling can come later. I am a "compensated dyslexic", which means my natural cognitive strengths have compensated for the cluster of cognitive weaknesses that characterise dyslexia. People who meet me can hardly believe I am dyslexic. Such is the lack of understanding that they think dyslexics merely jumble their letters and are poor readers. As far as they know, I am a very good speller and I love reading, therefore I couldn't possibly be dyslexic. Yet my dyslexia is real and is something I have struggled with throughout my life, from the frustration of learning my times tables and how to spell, to the despair of lengthy university booklists that would take me years to read, and the lifeless French and Spanish grammar exercises that held little meaning, because I think in pictures and I feel words.
