Guitar Effects Infographic History

An infographic detailing the history of guitar effects, starting all the way back to the 1930s with Rickenbacker’s Vibrola Spanish Guitar and progressing to the present day. 
 
Along the way, we’ll see iconic guitar-effect breakthroughs like gain and reverb in the 1940s to 1950s’ effects like fuzz (discovered by accidentally dropping a Fender Bass amp on a rainy street!) and distortion (the fortuitous discovery when Link Wray stabbed a hole in his amp’s speaker). 
 
The guitar effects hit their stride in the 1960s with the first transistor-powered guitar pedals, including the first wah-wah pedals  and the first octave effect pedal among glorious others.  The explosion of effects pedals in the 1970s reverberates today:  signal alterations, distortion, modulation, time-based effects, and filter effects. 
 
A timeline of all these effects along with the iconic musicians who used what—Bo Diddley’s Trem Trol 800 Tremolo, Jimi Hendrix’s Leslie rotating speaker, the Rolling Stones’ Maestro Fuzz Tone, etc. 
 

 

Aromatherapy for better sleep

Are you tossing and turning at night? Do you have a hard time relaxing and calming yourself when it’s time for bed? If so, aromatherapy maybe the answer.


Aromatherapy is the practice of using certain fragrances and oils that have been reputed to have some type of therapeutic effect or medicinal properties, and it has been used as both a primary treatment and a secondary auxiliary therapy.


One of the benefits of aromatherapy that has been extensively studied is the effectiveness of this type of therapy in terms of improving the quality and duration of one’s sleep, particularly in patients who suffer from hyper-anxiety disorders or insomnia.


It has been widely concluded, even by those who are skeptical of these types of alternative treatments, that regardless of whether or not aromatherapy proves effective, it certainly does no harm or has the potential for any ill effects at all.


Consider the following facts concerning aromatherapy and sleep:
A 2015 study in Turkey that involved using lavender essential oil via inhalation method on 60 ICU patients (the study was prompted because the patients in the ICU were having really terrible sleep issues, and the researchers wanted to try whatever they could to alleviate the insomnia for these patients and ICU patients everywhere).


The clinical finding (based on the patient’s responses to two separate standardized tests that determine sleep quality) that the 2% lavender essential oil solution delivered via inhalation absolutely had a positive, measurable, and marked effect on these patient’s ability to rest adequately, and furthermore, many of these patients were experiencing simultaneous cardiac issues which the anxiolytic effect of the lavender oil seemed to depreciate as well. By relieving some of the anxiety and stress from which these patients were suffering, the lavender oil improved their ability to rest and their conditions in general.


Although aromatherapy would not be recommended as the primary treatment for severe, chronic, medical sleep disorders, it most certainly should be considered as an adjunct or auxiliary treatment, and if no serious sleep disorder exists, then aromatherapy likely will be adequate in terms of alleviating mild cases of stress induced insomnia.

Enjoy Vegan CBD Edibles

This infographic explains how most CBD edibles contain animal products, so they are not suitable for vegans. To cater to the vegan market, there are now some manufacturers producing vegan CBD edibles. These treats do not contain any animal products at all. They are ideal for vegans who want to take advantage of the many therapeutic properties of CBD, without compromising their vegan diet.
 
Unlike other CBD edibles that use a lot of filler ingredients, vegan CBD edibles are gluten and dairy-free. They contain no artificial colors and only use natural sweeteners. The most premium hemp-derived edibles are created with premium full-spectrum CBD that is processed using clean CO2 extraction methods to retain quality.
 
If you are interested in taking vegan CBD edibles, it’s important that you know exactly what ingredients you are consuming. You should understand the difference between THC and CBD. One of the effects that THC has is that it causes the high that is associated with the recreational use of cannabis. CBD, on the other hand, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it will not get you high.
