Multi-amp guitar rigs use two or more amplifiers to create a unique tone that could not be achieved with the use of only one amplifier.
 Guitar players such as James Valentine (Maroon 5) and John Mayer use multiple amplifiers simultaneously to achieve their tones.
 Session guitar players such as Brent Mason often bring four or more amplifiers to recording sessions.
 There are many different types of guitar amplifiers that have drastically different sounds.
 There are three classic guitar amplifier circuits that most amplifiers are based on that all use different power amplifier tubes: The EL84 powered class A circuits which comes from the Vox AC30 and AC15 amplifiers, The 6L6 and 6V6 powered class AB circuits which come from Fender amplifiers, and the EL34 powered class AB circuits which come from Marshall amplifiers.
 The sonic characteristics of these different amplifier configurations are extremely different and for a lot of guitar players it is important to have the tonal palette of all three.
 This is especially true for studio guitarists and is why a lot of high-end recording studios have multiple different types of guitar amplifiers in house.
 It is a common practice to use a 6L6 or 6V6 powered amplifier for a clear, clean tone in conjunction with an EL34 or EL84 powered amplifier for a more distorted tone.
 It is then a matter of blending the two amps' signals in order to achieve the desired amount of distortion.
Calling Up Spirits is an album released in 1996 by surf guitarist Dick Dale, and dedicated to the American Indians.
Dick Dale (born Richard Anthony Monsour on May 4, 1937) is an American surf rock guitarist, known as The King of the Surf Guitar.
 He pioneered the surf music style, drawing on Middle-Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverberation.
 He worked closely with Fender to produce custom made amplifiers, including the first-ever 100-watt guitar amplifier.
 He pushed the limits of electric amplification technology, helping to develop new equipment that was capable of producing distorted, "thick, clearly defined tones" at "previously undreamed-of volumes."
 The "breakneck speed of his single-note staccato picking technique" and showmanship with the guitar is considered a precursor to heavy metal music, influencing guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen.
The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Volume 2 is a compilation album of material by Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1999 (see 1999 in music).
 The album was released by Epic Records and includes material from the five studio albums he released with Double Trouble as well as live material and collaborations with brother Jimmie and surf guitarist Dick Dale.

Jetpack is based in Southern California and is primarily musician Jetpack Dan or Daniel J. (real name: Dan J. Standiford) with Michael Kramer, who drums and sings and co-produces.
 Jetpack composes, records, and performs the guitar dominated instrumental music known as surf or surf rock, that was a music industry phenomenon of the early 1960s.
 Although it had retained a following, especially in Southern California, surf experienced a world-wide revival in the 1990s.
 Jetpack often mixes the traditionally accepted surf instruments, such as Fender guitars and tube amplifiers, with nontraditional instruments such as fretless bass and 12 string Rickenbacker guitars, and branches into other related subgenres of rock such as spy, noir, and rockabilly music.
 Live shows find the band usually dressed as FBI agents with I.D. badges and a secret service guard at the stage.
