I'm a little pis**d. I wrote a LONNNNG response only to have function.preg-match screw it up. Can't someone fix that???

OK here goes again. In '85 or '87 I attended the Full Moon Swamp tour. JF played most of his CCR hits and I forget if he had permission to use them at that time. The first song was "Born on the Bayou". Well, during the show, his roadies rolled out his Kustom stack and a red Ric 325. There was only a guitar cord and the 4 button foot switch. He played "Suzie Q" and "I Out a Spell On You" His use of feedback, tremolo(vibrato?), and harmonic clipper was outstanding. View http://youtube.com/watch?v=DT7MNwx4el0 and http://youtube.com/watch?v=dOjla3hOUSg. This was filmed in 1997 but just before "Suzie Q" he explained that the amp was with him on his and I quote "my very first hit record". The K200A4 had a 4 button footswitch, and a 4 pin XLR connector on the rear of the amp. All the effects could be used at any time. A K200B4 had 2 footswitch jacks that replaced 2 knobs on the front of the amp. There were 2 separate footswitches, 1 for each side. The 2 button footswitch was the same as used by the K100-2 and combos. You could only use the effects that were on the side you were plugged in to. The other thing was that on the early CCR pictures and videos, the speakers were JBL D130's with alumunum domes. In the above videos, the speakers were either replaced or more likely, reconed without the aluminum domes. The rating of the D130 is 150 watts RMS and a 100 watt Kustom could hardly touch the 300 watt rating of the cabinet. More likely, age took its toll.
