Like a classic Plexi, this is really a single-channel guitar amp with no channel switching although you can jumper the bright and normal channels together via the bright/low and normal/high inputs to blend them together (Image credit: Suhr)(Image credit: Suhr)Three mini toggle switches located above the control expand the amp’s tonal and textural range The Fat-Cap switch is inspired by a secret mod that John Suhr saw on a legendary artist’s Plexi amp that came through his shop in the mid-’90s that adds body to the bottom-end without making the overall tone more muddy or dense The difference between the Suhr SL68 MkII and most other clones is like the difference between a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru Burgundy and a mass-produced USA Pinot Noir The Mid Boost switch pumps up the gain to midrange frequencies to make the tone more notably aggressive but also more focused and prominent The Bright switch provides three different settings that go from off (original Suhr SL slightly rolled back brightness) in-between (a subtle brightness boost) and vintage (the full brightness of a vintage Plexi) Unlike typical full/half and triode/pentode modes found on many modern amps the SL68 features Hi (full 100-watt) and Lo (Variac mode) settings accessible via the power switch The most impressive feature of the SL68 MkII is the sensation of déjà vu experienced while playing it Using the guitar’s volume knob as a “channel switcher,” all the sounds you could ever want from a Plexi from Eddie and Angus thru Jimi and Jimmy to Yngwie and Uli The crushed glass harmonic crunch is world class as are its viciously aggressive overdrive punch and sweetly singing solo tones The Bright channel’s clarity and definition are pristine delivering treble with brilliant zing and bass with muscular brawn Chris GillChris is the co-author of Eruption - Conversations with Eddie Van Halen He is a 40-year music industry veteran who started at Boardwalk Entertainment (Joan Jett Night Ranger) and Roland US before becoming a guitar journalist in 1991 written more than 1,400 product reviews and contributed to Jeff Beck’s Beck 01: Hot Rods and Rock & Roll and Eric Clapton’s Six String Stories “The world’s most convenient all-tube amp head”: Steve Vai-backed firm Synergy has unveiled a tiny amp head that lets you swap in tones from some of the world’s biggest amp builders “Modified connects us with a long-standing tradition of modifying Marshall amps that dates back to the 1970s”: Marshall unveils factory modded takes on the 1959 Plexi and JCM800 – tipping its cap to the amp wizards of rock’s golden era “Smashing Pumpkins taught me that music doesn’t have to fit neatly into a box… it’s not as easy as pie It’s pie with a side of metal!” Billy Corgan asked Jenna Fournier to go back to bass MADISON, Wis. (WRJN) – Four Wisconsin broadcasters have been named 2024 WBA Local Broadcast Legends including a beloved Racine radio personality who left a major mark on the community Gary Suhr, who passed away in 2020, was the voice of Racine for over three decades at WRJN radio. From 1962 to 1998, Suhr brought local sports to life, broadcasting more than 2,100 games including high school football, basketball, and Racine Raiders semi-pro football. Suhr’s dedication to his craft earned him numerous accolades. The press box at Horlick Athletic Field bears his name, and he was inducted into both the Racine Raiders Hall of Fame and the American Football Hall of Fame. In 2017, the Racine County Sports Hall of Fame honored him with the “Deep Roots” Award. Beyond sports, Suhr was a committed journalist covering local news and hosting educational programs. His contributions to the community extended well past his retirement, as he continued to mentor and volunteer in various capacities. The WBA Local Broadcast Legends Award, established in 2015, recognizes individuals who exemplify localism and commitment to their communities. This year’s honorees will be celebrated at the WBA Summer Conference on June 19, 2025, in La Crosse. Want More Local News?We've got you. Scan it to get it.

Cognitive impairment impacts our ability to conduct daily activities, especially those related to our ability to live independently," says Julie Suhr, Director of Clinical Training and Professor of Psychology, who is a researcher at the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute Just like keeping an eye on your blood pressure figuring out whether cognitive changes are normal changes associated with aging can be tricky it’s important to tell the difference between what’s typical for different ages and what might indicate a decline associated with disease which rely on efficient communication between brain cells “Skills like processing speed and working memory start shifting earlier than many realize with subtle changes appearing even in our 20s,” says Suhr One noticeable difference often emerges in midlife—the struggle to recall names or words that seem just out of reach Known as the "tip-of-the-tongue" phenomenon this is a common experience and doesn’t necessarily indicate serious cognitive decline especially when it comes to remembering names but it’s important to recognize that these changes might be a normal part of cognitive aging That is why it can be important to have regular cognitive screening in order to determine what is expected for your age and what might indicate a decline in need of intervention.” Understanding these natural shifts can motivate proactive steps toward maintaining cognitive health throughout life There’s nothing more cognitively stimulating than having to engage with other people Research published in Lancet, a prominent peer-reviewed medical journal, identifies 14 risk factors that could lead to a 45% reduction in dementia cases worldwide This reduction can mean either preventing dementia or delaying its onset allowing individuals to enjoy more productive years Director of Clinical Training and Professor of Psychology Engage in new and challenging cognitive activities One of the most effective ways to preserve cognitive health is by keeping your brain active with new and stimulating activities “Engaging in cognitively stimulating hobbies and activities lowers the risk for dementia.” This doesn’t just mean doing the daily crossword puzzle it’s important to engage in new and novel things,” she says or even taking a class can help keep your mind sharp and build cognitive reserve Physical health is directly connected to brain health “Your brain takes a disproportionate amount of the oxygenated blood from every heartbeat to maintain good functioning.” Suhr points out “So keeping that heart healthy by lowering risk for or effective treatment for things like high cholesterol Maintaining a strong social network is another essential factor in cognitive health Engaging with others can help stimulate the mind and prevent cognitive decline “There’s nothing more cognitively stimulating than having to engage with other people,” says Suhr social interaction can help keep your mind active and connected to the world around you and depression can take a toll on cognitive health over time Maintaining emotional balance is critical to preserving mental sharpness as we age “Taking care of your mental health is important,” Suhr advises or therapy can help manage stress and promote long-term cognitive well-being Another crucial way to safeguard cognitive health is by preventing brain injuries “Protect yourself from traumatic brain injury by wearing helmets and preventing falls,” Suhr suggests Avoiding accidents that could lead to head injuries—such as by using safety equipment and removing tripping hazards in your home—can help prevent cognitive decline in the long run If you find yourself struggling with memory or thinking skills that seem unusual or more pronounced than what you’ve experienced in the past, it might be time to consider neurocognitive screening “Having neurocognitive screening can establish a baseline where your scores are compared to individuals most like you in age Regular follow-up screenings can help identify changes early providing insight into whether your cognitive abilities are shifting more rapidly than expected it’s a smart way to stay informed about your cognitive health over time involve the progressive degeneration of the nervous system This deterioration can hinder daily activities and affect independence Maintaining cognitive health is crucial for reducing the risk of these diseases. It not only keeps your brain functioning well but also enhances cognitive reserve—the ability to cope with brain changes while maintaining daily functioning “Cognitive reserve helps explain why some individuals may show brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease yet continue to function well in their daily lives,” says Suhr “It’s like they have a reserve that allows them to keep functioning cognitively even when their brains exhibit signs of decline.” taking care of your brain doesn’t have to be overwhelming everyday choices can make a big difference over time the better it will serve you in the years to come Just be mindful—if something feels off or you notice significant changes © 2025 Ohio University October 22, 2021 | 2 comments WI passed away peacefully into heaven on October 18th and great-grandfather to a large family who will miss him dearly Victor was born on the family farm in Cochrane Vic spent his youth working on the farm where he learned the value of a strong work ethic that he carried throughout his entire life There was never a more committed employee which he exemplified in his work in the welding and medical gas filling business among other various jobs Vic retired from Mississippi Welders of Winona MN in 2015 after nearly 30 combined years with the company at the age of 83 Vic asked a beautiful young lady how she was going to get home “with you.” So began a beautiful love story as they were married on May 3 1957 and raised eight children in the Cochrane-Fountain City area Victor led a devoted life to Christ and shared this love by remaining active in the church and teaching Sunday school Victor loved many activities including painting ceramics attending fairs to see old tractors and steam engines watching and monitoring the weather and tinkering with just about anything he could fix He especially enjoyed fishing on the lakes in Hayward WI where he spent many summer vacations with his family He taught his children the value of a hard day’s work and how to share his riches with those he loved Vic would never pass up the chance to help anyone in need in any way he possibly could He had the strength of a lion with the heart of a lamb and his family will be forever grateful for his generosity Vic often attended family gatherings bringing with him the best-ever potato salad It was not an official event without that amazing side dish and his heartfelt blessing of the meal Music was another love which was often Christian or gospel;
