Title: Dick Dale: One Double One Oh! (Instrumental Version)

Do any of you guys know how he got the tone on this song? It's incredible! Sounds like a really smooth chainsaw sound with oodles of chorus and reverb... I Love it - its just SO liquid.
If none of you guys have heard it perhaps i could upload it? I'm not sure that that wouldn't be pushing it on the copyright fron though...

Haven't heard the song but Dick dale is usually a Strat and a big Fender Single Showman that has a 85W transformer that can run at 100W flat out and plenty of reverb.

Yeah i was aware of that, but the reason i asked about this one song in particular is that it is quite a different type of tone to his usual. It still sounds like that guitar setup but perhaps with a chorus and overdrive pedal somewhere in between?

EDIT: sounds like it could be a rangemaster?

He uses a Dual Showman - and very very thick strings  :x
