![]() ![]() Either way, it works fine! With the Lightspeed in front, in gives your tone that extra sparkle that you would require to add more colour into your playing. ![]() I did prefer it to be pushed by other pedals (like the Little Samson and Southland), rather than it doing the pushing, but that is down to personal preference of course. The Lightspeed stacks great with other pedals. Any higher than 4 o'clock would be the banshee territory, great for those wailing and screaming solos where you can match your faces of angst as you jam it out. Roll down the "Tone" to about 8-9 o'clock, and you get a nice warm tone, crank it to 1 o'clock, and you suddenly have a snarl to your tone. With the "Gain" knob at 1 o' clock, the Lightspeed starts to hit the glassy territory of light gain, and thereafter, twiddling the "Tone" & "Volume" gives you a different sets of sounds that you would not expect. Who doesn't love to make emotional/weird/funky/concentrated faces that correspond to whatever your are playing on the guitar? It allows you to actually focus on your playing dynamics, and deliver those crunchy sounds accordingly to how much you decide to dig in and grind it out on your guitar. The great thing about the Lightspeed, is definitely how it responds so well to your picking, which is something that all guitar players will probably appreciate. ![]() Rolling the "Gain" knob to 9 o' clock, and the volume to 2 o'clock, I was immediately greeted with a pleasant mild growl. Wide sweep probably sounds good for players who are looking to add versatile pedals into their arsenal. I found that it was pretty sharp when cranked fully, because of the wide sweep of the "Tone" knob. As the "Tone" knob gets rolled up, you start to hear more and more of your guitar blazing through, eventually giving it real bite beyond the 2 o' clock range. Rolling the "Tone" knob all the way down kinda snuffs out the highs of your guitar, perhaps giving you a tone more suited for jazz or jazzy blues. The mids get pushed, but barely, giving it a very unique sound as compared to other light gain overdrives. The Lightspeed is neutral frequency-wise, not cutting the bass, and altering the highs through the "Tone" knob. One thing to take note of though, is how the "Tone" knob does more than what other Tone knobs would. With rich harmonics and smooth clipping, the Lightspeed is nicely sensitive to the nuances of your picking, allowing you to exercise control over how much grit you require, whether you dig into the strings more, or go easy on them. ![]() It was pretty easy to get good sounds out of this pedal, mainly because it blends in pretty well with your guitar, instead of altering its tone completely. "Loudness" presumably refers to the volume, while the other 2 knobs are self-explanatory. The 3 knobs on the pedal include "Loudness", "Drive" and "Tone". An overdrive that is tastefully designed to bring out the best of your guitar and amp, giving it a crisp and fresh overdrive sound without changing the original tone of your guitar and amp. The result? A clear, and natural sounding overdrive that leaves your fingers glued onto your guitar for the next 6 hours, wanting to squeeze out every bit of goodness that this pedal can give you. When you hear the word "organic", you probably thought of the word "natural" - And that's what the Lightspeed is. You got pretty close if you were thinking of that. Now you might ask, why is it called organic? Is it not genetically modified? Naturally grown from some local farm? Well. This blue box of wonder encapsulates some of the sweetest tones that you will ever find. Presenting to you, probably and possibly the most famous and popular pedal that Greer Amps has produced: the Lightspeed Organic Overdrive. ![]()

Along the way the guides, most of whom were born and raised in Kohala, share anecdotes about life there and the building of the ditch.Ĭan’t swim? No worries. One after another the kayaks float over seven flumes and through 10 pitch-black tunnels ranging from 100 to 1,800 feet in length. “Their homes were just mauka (toward the mountains) of the ditch.” “Over the years, those trees were planted by various caretakers of the ditch and their families,” Camara said. It covers the same three miles on the ditch as its predecessors but adds a stop overlooking magnificent Pololu Valley and a short walk to the launch site on a flume bordered by mango, avocado, banana and other fruit trees. “Our tour is supporting agriculture and contributing to the economic health of Kohala.” “By running the tour in-house, so to speak, rather than contracting it to an outside vendor, most of the revenues can be directed toward the rebuilding and maintenance of the ditch,” she said. Camara worked as a guide for both of those companies. The previous two businesses closed due to natural disasters that badly damaged the ditch: Flumin’ Da Ditch in 2006 because of a 6.6-magnitude earthquake, and Kohala Ditch Adventures in 2014 because of big back-to-back storms. Flumin’ Kohala is the operating name of Kohala Eco Ventures, whose executives also run the Kohala Ditch Co., the manager and part-owner of the ditch.įlumin’ Kohala is the third company to operate such a tour. Today Camara is general manager of Flumin’ Kohala, which takes visitors on a leisurely kayak ride down the historic ditch. “The ditch supplied water for sugar cane cultivation, which provided jobs for them.” “If it weren’t for the ditch, my family, like many others, would not have made Kohala their home,” Camara said. The ditch was a 2-mile bike ride from their Hawi home. ![]() Her mother, however, shared many fond memories about that irrigation system, including swimming there with her two brothers. ![]() When she was growing up, the Kohala Ditch (see sidebar) was on privately owned land that was not open to the public. Kohala Sugar closed in 1975, six years before Camara was born. My maternal great-grandfather worked for Kohala Sugar Co. “The train carried processed cane from the mills to the wharf at Makukona, 7 miles west of Hawi town. “My paternal great-grandfather worked for Hawaii Railway Co., which ran the ‘Sugar Cane Train,’” Camara said. Her roots in that rural district of Hawaii island run deep - four generations, to be exact: Her paternal and maternal great-grandparents moved there from Maui and the Philippines, respectively, seeking a better life.

That day, a loose stone fell off the cliff and glanced off one of the workers. View of the repair work going on at the dam at Honokane Nui. This entire cliff face fell in with the 2006 earthquake that destroyed the ditch. That’s Rick Gordon in the middle and Bill Shontell on the right. Here I am in September, getting ready to go see the origin of the Kohala ditch at Honokane Nui. On Monday the 24th, we will throttle down the valve at the intake, remove two temporary access ramps in Pololu and Niulii and on Tuesday the 25th, at 3 pm, we will release water into the balance of the system. The intake is working fine and the flume is currently conveying water across Honokane West Branch, through the ridge of Kupehau, and into Pololu Valley. I wrote about the project a couple months ago when I took a helicopter tour of the area.įYI, we released the waters of Honokane Nui through new Flume #1 this afternoon about 2:30. This is a huge project that’s been a tremendous amount of work and a long time coming. It’s about the Kohala Ditch water flowing.

ABI values in the range of 0.9 to 1.4 are considered as normal 17, 18. For disease screening, symptom evaluation, and periodic disease monitoring, a non-invasive evaluation is more appropriate and involves Doppler assessment and measurement of the ankle brachial index (ABI) 16. Therefore, early diagnosis of PAD and proper implementation of guideline indorsed risk factor modification is paramount for effective management of these patients 12.Ĭustomary clinical diagnostic and monitoring methods for peripheral arterial disease include the use of different imaging modalities such as duplex ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography 13, 14, 15. Beyond intermittent claudication and major adverse cardiac events, severe PAD can lead to critical limb ischemia which if untreated, might result in leg amputation and a high mortality rate as a result 11. While PAD associated walking impairment adversely influences quality of life for PAD patients, there is an added elevated risk of developing major adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure and both cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality 8, 9, 10. An early and the most common clinical presentation of PAD is intermittent claudication, which involves pain in the lower limb (particularly the calves) mainly induced by physical activities such as walking and subsiding by rest 6, 7. While traditional atherosclerotic risk factors participate in the development of PAD, nicotine addiction with habitual smoking is considered the most prevalent risk for these patients, and diabetes mellitus is likewise an important variable 4, 5. Lower extremity PAD is the most common form of PAD affecting more than 8.5 million Americans and more than 230 million patients worldwide 2, 3. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) generally refers to a progressive circulation disorder, characterized by narrowing or occlusion of the peripheral arteries 1. The results of this feasibility study indicate the diagnostic potential of the proposed method for the detection of PAD. ![]() More specifically, p-values of 0.0015 for PBFIV, 0.0183 for TRR, and 0.0048 for L0RR were obtained. Out of the four utilized metrics, three exhibited significantly different distributions between the two groups ( p-value < 0.05). Ultrasound data acquired from 13 legs in the patient group and 13 legs in the healthy group are analyzed. We examine the feasibility of this method through an in vivo study consisting of 14 PAD patients with abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) and 8 healthy volunteers. These metrics include post-occlusion to baseline flow intensity variation (PBFIV), total response region (TRR), Lag0 response region (L0RR), and Lag4 (and more) response region (L4 + RR). ![]() Four quantitative metrics are introduced for analysis of these variations. The method involves monitoring the variations of blood flow in the calf muscle in response to thigh-pressure-cuff-induced occlusion. In this study, we present a contrast-free ultrasound-based quantitative blood flow imaging technique for PAD diagnosis. Therefore, development of non-invasive and affordable diagnostic approaches can be highly beneficial in detection and treatment planning for PAD patients. ![]() Additionally, progression of PAD in the absence of timely intervention can lead to dire consequences. While being a relatively prevalent condition particularly among aging patients, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of lower extremities commonly goes undetected or misdiagnosed due to its symptoms being nonspecific. ![]() ![]() ![]() I LIVE for locating the BEST, and telling the world about the deliciousness I discover through social media, my LIVE T.V.
