I don't get why the dual would be any better... they make speakers with different loads for a reason. —THe NEpTuNeS |

I still say that I like the Twin Reverb just as well. I have both, and would have a hard time choosing. That's just me, though... Sorry, just had to say it. —

FYI: The purpose of this thread is a dig at Jake's obnoxious comment on the wiki thread. Don't take the subject too seriously on this one.

There are only two kinds of surf guitarists---those who play through a brown/blonde Showman, and those who wish they could. Cuz dude, they totally rawk. If U don't play one, then U R lame! If Travis Barker who is the most AWESOME drummer played guitar instead, then he would use a Showman and would blow all of you away, because he would be like a million times better. (Oh, and Dario wouldn't say it, but I would save up for his "Surfer" amp!) |

A brownface Showman is THEE ONLEE SURF AMP. All else are poseurs in the extreme, but especially those hodads with the blackface Showmans, I mean come on, that's like driving a 85 Cadillac Cimarron and thinking you're as cool as the guys with the 59 Eldos. Forget it. Now, for everything else except surf, nothing rawks like a Gorilla: Mel |

I totally had a Gorilla amp like that - I traded it for 2 packs of flatwound strings - stupidest thing I've ever done ......... —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

Ha. My first amp was a Gorilla GG-60 in 1986. I recall being impressed with the "tube-stack" knob at the time. My parents were less impressed. |
