Re: Reverend guitars for surf

Patrick (reverb_10000) - 27 Jul 2004 07:06:35

I can't speak for the guitars, as I've never actually seen one up
close (well, the closest I should say was Chris Bess from Southern
Culture on the Skids was playing one one of the last times I saw them
live). The amps on the other hand -
I play through a Reverend Hellhound 40/60 head through an Avatar cab
(with 2 Eminence M12's) and the clean tone on the US setting is
awesome. I use a Peavey Valverb for reverb/tremolo and it easily
nails Twin tones, on the UK setting it gets a little raunchier (I
don't dime out the Gain, since with the outboard reverb it gets a
little too nasty, but with a little echo nails some Cramps-ish type
sounds pretty well.) The 60 watts are plenty loud (we have a pretty
hard hitting drummer, so it's necessary).
Just my $.02.
