Focus- Hocus Pocus (live ‘73) – I wanted to stay away from another oldie video this week, but I found this one and I just remembered it from when I was a kid. Little did I know how ahead of his time this guy was in terms of chops. The video is pretty funny but man does he just scream lick after lick. Great faces by the keyboardist, seems to get faster as the song gets going ! Click On the Picture and watch the video RIGHT HERE !

The REGAL is an original Victoria design loosely based on the amplifiers manufactured by the Valco Co. in the 50’s and 60’s. It is powered by one 6L6 in single ended class A operation. The Regal’s controls are Volume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Speed and Intensity. The single 6L6 is perfect for discriminating tube swappers allowing for many hours of spirited conversation in the differences in tonal character of the many different brands and vintages of this workhorse of a power tube.

I picked up a CD by athana who is a customer and forumite and put it in the car. I LOVE IT ! Song 4 A-AA is more Beck than Beck, its everything Jeff Beck wish’s he was in his latter life. Alf Hana creates a landscape of sounds on this record that EVERY guitar player would love ! Goto his website www.athana.no

Retro Sonic 808 – The Eight-0-Eight Overdrive is a faithful recreation of the original TS-808 Tube Screamer circuit and features the JRC4558D op-amp. Its overdrive circuit provides the same tone as a vintage ‘808, noted to provide tube like overdrive effects while retaining the guitars original tone. Being a ground up build rather than a modified pedal has allowed us to provide some feature benefits up front. GotoRetro Sonic Eight-0-Eight Overdrive !
