I answered a want ad for a broken Super Reverb some years back but just missed it. The guy felt bad and let me have this pyramid-shaped Yamaha amp for $25.

Check out Dan "Hound Dog" Taylor and his Music Man Equipment. Very cool!

The old red glitter was getting faded so I stripped it and redid it in blue flake. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this cheapo [$85 box of parts off the 'Bay, plus shipping!]

The Dead Rocks: Tiki Twist ...reviewed by Duke

The Dead Rocks
Tiki Twist
I love this album a lot. I mean a WHOLE lot. I was in my teens back in the early '60s. That old surf and rock 'n' roll was, and still is, my thing. The Dead Rocks have captured the sound. Tiki Twist is an absolutely fabulous CD and brings you eleven outstanding tracks of instro surf and rock 'n' roll. Now I know why The Dead Rocks are so well thought of in Brazil - they truly are fantastic. Let's get ready to surf 'n' roll...

Os Pazuzus: A Maldição do Surf Sumério ...reviewed by Justin Hayes

Os Pazuzus
A Maldição do Surf Sumério
Mystery and mayhem are the order of the day on A Maldição do Surf Sumério and Os Pazuzus delivers them with power and panache. They don't mess around. Os Pazuzus delivers a knockout punch right from the get-go. A Maldição do Surf Sumério is cool, hot, and all points in between.

The Dead Rocks: IL Grilletto D'Oro ...reviewed by Justin Hayes

The Dead Rocks
IL Grilletto D'Oro
IL Grilletto D'Oro is a neat all-instro CD, housing ten spaghetti and other western style tunes. IL Grilletto D'Oro doesn't have any of that watered down, tear-in-your-beer shit. This is ten tracks of western music, the way western music should be played. The diverse mixture of mood-setting tunes keeps the interest level at a peak. It makes me want to trade my motorcycle for a horse and saddle.

Os Pazuzus
Brazilian Surf Music Band
Gradually the sound waves from the institute's sonars began losing ground to the sound of the reverberating guitars of the newly formed group. Instead of test tubes, amp valves. Instead of endless research and complicated reports, rock records. Or rather, INSTRO SURF ROCK records! The beaches of Rio de Janeiro will never be the same!

The Dead Rocks: International Brazilian Surfs ...reviewed by Justin Hayes

The Dead Rocks
International Brazilian Surfs
The thing that makes them unique is they are not afraid to explore the edges of instrumental surf music. Call it 4th wave or new wave, The Dead Rocks' willingness to push the surf music boundaries makes International Brazilian Surfs a cool listening experience.

My Surfin' Amp
...by Tubeswell
This effort took me about 4 months from scratch and then another 6 months to tweak. Besides that regular tweed bassman controls and trem controls, it has four types of reverb control (dwell, recovery-drive, recovery tone and recovery level) and puts out about 40W.

The Mullet Monster Mafia: Power Surf Orchestra ...reviewed by Justin Hayes

The Mullet Monster Mafia
Power Surf Orchestra
Balls-to-the-wall power. That's the first thing that comes to my mind when describing The Mullet Monster Mafia. I'm really high on these guys. They are phenomenal. Power Surf Orchestra ia a graphic example of their unlimited potential. It is a truly outstanding album by a truly outstanding band.
