A study, led by University of York researcher Mario Vallejo compared classic guitar amplifiers, software-based amplifiers and AI amplifiers. Surprisingly, they found that the AI amplifier was rated incredibly similarly to the classic one. A guitar amplifier (amp) is an electronic device that boosts the weak electrical signal from an electric guitar, turning it into audible sound. It is therefore no surprise that an amp is the main player in an electric guitar’s sound.

After weeks of consideration, the York SU have controversially decided to recommend the ratification of a Restore Britain society. This comes after the launch of this party in February this year by ex-reform MP Richard Lowe. After this decision, the university will now have a student society for all English political parties. (Someone needs to bring some SNP and Plaid Cymru representation). The only other university with a Restore Society is our sister university York St. Johns.

Restore Britain, a newly emerging political force to the right of Reform, claims to have 110,000 members and has captured the interest of some UoY students, with regular meetings as an unratified society. Their application for ratification by York SU has been the subject of controversy with concerns around inclusivity and safety for minorities, sparking protest.
