thx guys...I appreciate the help.

It gets delivered tomorrow, and I'm crossing my fingers, hoping for the best.

I played through a 68 showman on saturday again, and dang if I had the money...I'd have one...but I don' t have the money. :(

Hopefully this will work well enough, otherwise it's back to the ol' drawing board.

A Mustang IV will nail the surf tones and be as loud as you need it to be. I gig regularly with my Mustang III and can rarely turn the volume up past 4.

That said, I think there is a bigger problem here. If your band-mates are playing 85 watt tube amps at very high levels, what sort of chance does anyone else in the band have of being heard in context and balance, and what sort of experience does the audience get?

Better to turn down a bit, mic up everything and let the guy at the console make it into a musical mix.

In my band, I run a line from the XLR out of the Mustang III to the board, play loud enough that my drummer can here me (he gets a lot of his cues from me) and the the sound guy do the rest. We've had no complaints...

Incidentally, I also went Mustang because of weight considerations. My tube amp was just too heavy to lug around.

Best,

Jeff
