Maybe it was because of how much louder he was playing at that venue? In any case a Pro Block 200 is next on my list of gear to purchase this year. Yes I have been playing straight into the Pro Block. In songs like the Astronauts' tunes I would have needed a tank of course, but for the rest of my music that reverb is just great. It is definitely more realistic than most pedals. It is a try that I have done in this tour and I liked that... I mean I played almost every time with just that Quilter head. — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top

I saw SJ at the Purple Orchid and then at the Tonga Hut. I was really impressed by his clean, precise and tireless tremolo picking and tasteful musicality throughout both sets. He managed to get my wife dancing, and that makes me a happy surf fan! That's good. Dancing is the key of this kid's music since 1961!!! Those places are great, great and again great! I am really thankful I had the chance to be there. — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top

Thanks Mr. Ambassador for the trip & continuing to share your love of the music with us! That was a Ran's small cabinet with a JBL D130. Very good for the purpose and sounding fantastic to me with the Quilter head. — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top

It's curious about the great sound I have been getting out of the Quilter Steelaire amps (2 of them joined, one of each side of the drums). No use of any pedal or reverb tank. Did not even have a tuner Thanks for posting it on YouTube. And thanks Adrian for the amps and the fun night! — Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini (www.surfmusic.net) Top

Clearly having a good speaker is important - you had one and the results were great! — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
