Dub-T-123 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Man when I saw **** Dale (old and near death) his “tone” out of the Dual Showman was incredible. He explained how he designed the amp with Fender and Fender used him to test all the amps etc. Normally the Strat sounds annoying and quacky but **** Dale unleashed pure sonic bombast of the highest caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant pretend I'm not disappointed When I was his age I was into Ampeg, my Tele Bass below but also used a lawsuit Aria Pro LP. This was 72 by this time Dual Showmans were already old but still incredible.. After hearing a wall of SVT's at a Long John Baldry concert I had to have one. When I saw Blue Cheer in the mid 60's they used a wall o Dual Showmans, I was never the same afterwards..

I felt that way about Strats when I was 16. I got one with vacation job money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
