The Tone Kings – Portland, Maine has always been a breeding ground for northern New England’s finest musicians. The ToneKings fell together after 20 some odd years of playing together in different bands, jamming or sharing club and festival stages. The idea was to play and create the music they love-R&B, soul & funk. Their newly released CD, The ToneKings, was recorded with Dan Merrill at Studio 19 in Portland. This is a great GROOVE Band, Great Classic Sound, Great Production..CD is $10 BUY ONE ! Check it out HERE ! – Music Noyz.com Charts CLICK

Dunlop and Edward Van Halen have collaborated to bring back the classic tone of the MXR Flanger that powered timeless Van Halen tunes like “Unchained” and “And the Cradle Will Rock.” The result of their effort is the MXR EVH 117 Flanger, a stompbox with the same bucket-brigade technology that provided the sweeping, whooshing magic of the original. This updated model comes with the EVH Switch, which instantly calls up Eddie’s “Unchained” sound with the exact settings used to get the original guitar tone. On top of that, it comes painted with the cool striped graphics Eddie used to customize his guitars. GotoMXR EVH Flanger

The Yardbirds – Incredibly interesting documentary on the history of The Yardbirds. The first part goes thru Eric Clapton entrance and exit and the recruitment of Jimmy Page. What I find interesting is that its not glossed over in anyway, lots of the members trash Clapton for leaving the group! Also let’s not forget Jeff Beck’s involvement in the band, noted as the prodigy band of guitar players in the 60s! Click on the picture and watch the video RIGHT HERE !

The Box of Rock is Z. Vex Efx first “distortion” pedal, highly specialized to simulate the “everything of 10″ sound of a classic Marshall JTM45 non-master-volume amplifier. You may use the BOR effectively with many different amplifiers, but to get the sound I heard when I designed it, try it through a Marshall at least once. You may use your guitar’s volume control to adjust for the exact amount of distortion you need, all the way down to very clean and clear with most drive settings. GotoZvex Box of Rox
