Surf and gain level

It's a great backup amp also. — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top

Los Straitjackets use Deluxe Reverbs with no external effects. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. Top

To my taste creamy distortion sounds better than grind, but grind works occasionally. I find grind tiring. There may be several paths to creamy overdrive, but the ones I know involve reverb and/or delay after the overdrive. Los Straitjackets and The Mermen use very different tones. The Straitjax use just a little reverb, varying amounts of overdrive, and little else. The Mermen are extremely heavy levels of effects and no twang or guitar string percussion is audible on most of their recordings. — Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: May 17, 2018 12:35:33 Top

I think he has used Lexicon reverbs for a long time. I have seen Los Straits use Vibroluxes live turned up enough to get some breakup. My friend interviewed Eddie Angel and he said they sometimes use AC30s in the studio. Some of their studio tones do sound like cranked Voxes to me. Danny tended to be cleaner than Eddie. YMMV Top
