Probably my most-used Tube Screamer to-date - this gives you various additional options to take you well beyond the more typical standard Ibanez and Maxon varieties. The very originals had only 3 controls, while we have 5 knobs, 3 x 2-way toggle-switches and dual footswitches here. It's just a really cool super versatile all-rounder extended-range Tube Screamer that I really like the sound of. Where nowadays I'm actually more likely though to use the JHS Bonsai, Kuro Custom Audio P.h.A. and that cool Becos FX Mini Ziffer! The City does though still get the occasional airing alongside its Kingdom Combo Klone sibling.
Josh Scott's ingenious Multi-Drive pedal series - which includes the Bonsai, Muffuletta, and Packrat are all marvels of engineering with between 6 and 9 individual circuits onboard. The Bonsai has 9 key Screamer Flavours - including all the classics, a few cool oddities - where the Exar OD-1 is probably my favourite, and a couple of modded varieties. I would have liked to have had a 3-way Flat / Scooped / Full switch for added versatility. While each of those voicings are really very authentic in their output and control. I believe this is one of JHS's best-selling pedals of all time - a must have for Tube Screamer fans!
Brian Mena's Red Snapper is one of the kings of the Transparent / Minimal-Colouring Genre - and one that sits very happily alongside the Greer Lightspeed at the top of that category. Here it's allied with its slightly gainier and more compressed Blue Collar Sibling - for a superbly versatile 2-in-1 which I was very lucky to pick up in its first vertical edition. The two sides stack superbly and you get 6-degrees of saturation here right across the gears in combination and deployed individually. The Red Snapper is often overshadowed by the Lightspeed in terms of enduring popularity - while the Red Snapper is every bit as good - a classic for sure, and really handy in the dual vertical Fish Factory edition!
This is actually a really cool overdrive - based very specifically on the Allman Brothers Fillmore East Live Sound - as heard on legendary tracks like 'Whipping Post'. This overdrive recreates Duane Allman's exact playback tonality - where even though he used Marshal amps - this is not a typical MIAB. It has a very distinctive tone and timbre - and the sort of +5dB Dirty Boost Footswitch makes it work like a dual-channel affair really - particularly if you set the gain just right! This is a fantastic and unique sounding pedal that really cleverly captures that Fillmore East Live Sound - if you're into the Allman Brothers then it really is a must! Great sounding right through the dials even though the output is somewhat focused as such.
The Six Ma1s is one of just 6 limited editions featured here if you also count the discontinued Aphelion - also the Keeley Freak Fuzz Modded BD-2, the CKK SH-1N Scream Honey Gold, the Pettyjohn ODI with Mods, and Snouse BlackBox 2 Gold Hardware. It's a really unique overdrive even as standard as it excludes use of Capacitors - while the Ma1s edition feature rare NOS components. The Six essentially looks too capture the best of the Blues Breaker, Timmy, and King of Tone - via 6 smart individual voicings with a choice of two different headroom settings and dual EQ controls. It has a huge range of gain onboard, while it could possibly do with just one more EQ control to get maximum granularity out of it. Even then it's a really unique overdrive - especially in this enhanced limited edition, while the standard edition is pretty stellar too. Require a little due diligence on the EQ dial in.
We're very excited to offer a dual trigger shepherd's crook cornet in our Doubler's line! We spent a lot of time and iterations working with the factory to get these cornets just how we wanted them, and now these horns are definitely a keeper! Perfect with a short shank mouthpiece (the is pictured) this horn has a wonderfully rich sound and very smooth response. It has a .468 bore, a standard throat 4 3/4 inch bell, and dual triggers. This is a perfect option for the player who just signed up for Brass Band and doesn't want to spend 3-4K on a . Check this horn out!
On June 23, 2020, officials say a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado K150 truck was stolen from a residence within Asheville city limits and was later located in an unincorporated part of Buncombe County. An investigation identified several subjects in the larceny, as well as stolen property. The release notes that detectives with the sheriff's office located and recovered $18,000 of stolen audio equipment from inside of the truck.
The Keces P8 dual power unit will work fine. I run my 90 watt NUC8i7BEH and my network switch off of mine. You will never need 90 watts. My NUC pulls 3.0 amps for a split second during startup. The rest of the time it runs at 0.4-0.7 amps depending on if I am upsampling or importing files.
Modality of presentation refers to the sensor route for information processing, such as visual, auditory, or signed words (Penney, 1989; signed modality was not considered here). Determining the most efficient mode for text presentation (audio, visual text or both simultaneously) has been a subject of psychological and educational research (Wolpert, 1971; Green, 1981; Daniel and Woody, 2010); brain activation neuroimaging studies (Green, 1981; Buchweitz et al., 2009) and eye-tracking analysis (Gerbier et al., 2018; Conklin et al., 2020).
Regarding second language learning (L2), research indicates that reading-while-listening is helpful for comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary acquisition (Chang, 2009; Woodall, 2010; Chang and Millett, 2015). Concerning the effects of dual-modality in native languages, Penney (1989) reviewed a collection of memory experiments where sets of words presented in dual-modality produced enhanced memory recall in comparison to words presented in only one modality. Later, Montali and Lewandowski (1996) found that dual-modality benefited less-skilled students at reading social and science passages. In adults, recall after reading text has been reported to be superior to recall after just listening to text (Green, 1981; Dixon et al., 1982; Lund, 1991; Daniel and Woody, 2010). Daniel and Woody (2010) found a better understanding of texts presented for reading-only than listening and reading simultaneously, in young adults. Similarly, Moreno and Mayer (2002) found that adult students who read while listening showed a better comprehension than those who only listened or those whose text was shown with accompanying animations. On the contrary, several research reports have shown worse text comprehension in dual-modality in adults when reading passages of novels (Moyer, 2011; Rogowsky et al., 2016) multimedia narrations (Craig et al., 2002), or technical documents (Kalyuga et al., 2004).
Factors related to the effect of modality presentation are student diversity, age, executive functions performance, type of task, and variability of levels of difficulty (i.e., novels vs. science passages). For instance, possible benefits of a specific modality might be undetected with the presentation of too simple verbal information, not enough to challenge reading skills to a threshold. On the other hand, dual-modality could represent an excessive cognitive load (Kalyuga et al., 2004) and produce distractions when trying to understand very complex texts for which fluency might be interrupted by, for instance, the need to re-reading some parts.
The next step in the analyses was to examine the potential differences in text comprehension depending on the presentation modality (visual, auditory, and dual). Average of comprehension scores showed a non-significant enhancement of comprehension with dual-modality (F = 2.44, p = n.s.; Table 1 and Figure 1A). When groups were separated by sex, a striking improvement in text comprehension was revealed in boys with dual-modality (Figure 1B; F = 8.29, p < 0.000). Bonferroni multiple comparison tests showed that text comprehension differed among auditory and dual-modality groups (p < 0.005), and between visual and dual-modality groups (p < 0.005). On the contrary, not even a small tendency of improvement with dual-modality was found girls (F = 0.96, p = n.s.; Table 2 and Figure 1B).
Gender-specific language comprehension for different text presentation modalities. (A) Values represent the average score on text comprehension for each experimental group for all students. Error bars correspond to the standard error of the mean (n = 73, 74, and 68 for visual, auditory and dual groups). ANOVA analysis showed no significant differences among the groups (p = 0.0895). (B) Same analysis grouping boys and girls separately (**p < 0.01, Bonferroni among different modalities in boys).
Intriguingly, our results show that boys perform better in attentional tasks. In dual-modality they must cope with two levels of information at the same time (dual-task), and this might be related to their higher attentional scores reported here. Interestingly, results in bilingual processing indicate that attentional control processing is involved in switching linguistic tasks (Costa et al., 2006), although this tasks-switch was between languages, not between audio/visual versions of the same text.
Our results are clear regarding the lack of advantages of dual-modality in girls. However, more research needs to be done to determine whether dual-modality promotes any improvements in girls with low performance in their native language subjects. Nevertheless, even if dual-modality was only helpful for boys, its use in academics should be taken into account, considering the poorer performance of boys as compared to girls at some educational levels (Steinmayr and Spinath, 2008).
Dual-modality benefits are under some debate. In addition to the use of low difficulty texts, previously unnoticed sex-differences, and perhaps age-differences, could explain the controversy. Regarding the age, text comprehension in young adults, men or women, do not seem to be aided by dual-modality, however, interestingly, more complex processing evaluated by transfer tests (which requires the use of text information to solve questions in other contexts) is better with dual-modality in men and worse in women (Flores et al., 2010). This report, together with our results supports the idea that the benefit of dual-modality in boys but not girls depends on age. We have not detected age-related changes in language comprehension, surely because of the short-range of age in our sample. The fact that Flores et al. (2010) detected transfer gender-differences in older subjects suggests that learning and developmental changes compensate for reading difficulties in boys only to some extent.
