Well, I don't have the ideal gear for it, but I made use of what I have. My only amp rig rig is a Marshall 50 watt Plexi with sealed 2x12 w/Celestion Greenbacks (Can you tell I like Rock?). So this is a Mexican 50's Strat into an EH Holy Grail reverb pedal into the Marshall. Can I work with this? (Yeah, I'd like to get a tank)

Nice playing...the Holy Grail imo is the best if you don't have a tank but still does not get you where you want to go..you need that drenched tone that lingers long after the note and no pedal will do it. Firtst 1/2 of the tune nice and surfy..2nd 1/2 kinda dipped into SRV (tone and style). Thanks for the link.

it all depends on your audience, true surf crowds might frown at your gear, but 95% of an average audience will hear nor see the difference between your stuff and a fender piggyback/tank set. anyway, always work with what you've got, not with what you want. :cool:
btw, if you like rock sound and marshalls, check out the mofos and the coffin daggers, for a more rocky sound. you might also like the tijuana bibles...
