Solid Gold FX - SURF RIDER

Description

The Surf Rider IV brings the surf and sand in a ground-up redesign that packs 3 distinct spring tank emulations, based on some of Solid Gold's favorite vintage spring-laden pieces. The available reverb modes include a tight tank, based on Solid Gold's 60s Reverberocket, the classic splash of their early silver panel Super Reverb and the SGFX fantasy tank, with a slightly exaggerated drip and decay for when you want Misirlou to sound certifiably otherworldly. Housed in a compact package, with expanded controls and added features like soft-touch bypass switching with trails, selectable momentary or latching modulation and top-mounted jacks, the Surf Rider IV is guaranteed to satisfy like a cool breeze in the sweltering heat. So, plug in honey bunny, crank it up and get your Dick Dale on!
