“Surf Music Is a Heavy Machine-Gun Staccato Picking Style”: How Dick Dale Pushed Leo Fender into Pulling Out the Big Guns

The King of Surf Guitar was an Innovator of the Big-Stage Rig

Hailed as the King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale was an avid surfer, whose musical expression was informed by the roil and tumble of the experience.

“Surf music is a heavy machine-gun staccato picking style to represent the power of Mother Nature, of our earth, of our ocean,” he told The New York Times in 1994.
Anyone who saw him perform or heard his hits “Let’s Go Trippin’”, “Jungle Fever,” or “Miserlou” will know how fully he succeeded in the effort.

Dale was pummeling his Stratocaster with his band the Del-Tones to crowds of 2,000 to 3,000 surfer-stomping teens in 1961 and ’62 when he found his existing Fender ampsimploding under the pressure.

Fender had unveiled its Showman head and cab in 1960, but Dale called Leo to tell him he needed a sturdier rig for his electric guitar.

Fender installed a bigger output transformer often known as “the Dick Dale OT” and then conscribed the guitarist to blow through a hundred or so speakers until the custom-made JBL D130F 15-inch finally proved capable of surviving the 85-watt maelstrom (which peaked at well over 100 watts).

Partnered with a hulking 2x15 extension cab as the Dual Showman, the big-stage rig had finally arrived, and Dick Dale knew exactly what to do with it.

I generally think that Billy’s video’s about the music industry are usually spot on! He has years of live sound and studio experience and has even worked with guys Like Rick Beato back in the ‘90’s! This guy is one of the best audio engineers in America! Him and Rick Rubin are the go to! They both have a wealth of knowledge and I would even go so far as to say Rick Rubin in terms of creativity, Rick Beato in terms of music theory and song writing and Billy as the sound guy!
