Anybody playing a Two Rock?

[CarlF]

Thinking about undoing one of the biggest mistakes I made years ago, which was selling a Two Rock Classic Reverb.
Since then, there is now the Bloomfield Drive and TS1. Both very appealing to me.

I can't keep all the models straight and the ones I've played didn't make me want to spend the time to figure it out. They were OK but I guess just not that exciting.

Played a used one once at a GC, by the time I came back with cash, it was gone. So sad. So expensive.

i’m not sure about a TR-1 but i’ve played the TS-1 and thought it sounded really nice for the dumble lead thing.

Thanks! I corrected it. It’s TS- 1. I know, that’s the amp I got my eye on right now, some great demos of it.

I do. I have a 2006 Custom Reverb Signature V2. (The “John Mayer Continuum Amp”) It’s an absolutely incredible instrument. When you run a good Strat through a Bluesbreaker pedal into that thing with the master up and it’s just instant fucking magic.

 

[hellzington]

Everyone associates TR with that sound I described above but they are honestly incredible for every short of hard rock, and even then you could rip some sweet hard rock and metal solos with a TR on the overdrive channel and with a pedal or two. They record incredibly well too.

Proudly no

Yeah, I wouldn’t figure any 80s metal head to be playing through an amp that might expose all their flaws.

If I wanted to expose my biggest flaw I’d just expose myself in public

I’m older than you guys I’m more of a blues rock player so a Two Rock amp makes sense

They are sweet amps but I'm more of a blues player so for the price of a two rock I could afford to stay home and pick guitar out on the back porch for another year instead.

I’m sure Two Rocks are very Depends-able amplifiers. I occasionally find two rocks in my Depends.

Two rocks are great for for blues, clean, and other kinds of grandpa guitar

Honestly it doesn't work like that. Similar to an old fender, Dumbles/Two Rocks are really squishy feeling and have a lot of "give" - part of why they are so desired is because they are easy to play, not because they expose mistakes. Which is honestly a good thing if you're playing clean or edge of breakup. It makes playing with less gain feel more effortless and natural.

I know, I played through my share of Dumbo clones. Plus I owned the Two Rock Classic Reverb Signature.
Anyway, like I said earlier, I really regret selling that app. It bothers me many years later.

It’s definitely a grandpa amp, who gives a shit. I’m not 20 years old anymore, and I play blues as much as I like all that Hendrix stuff.
I like blues, fusion hard, rock, etc.

That doesn't make it bad at all, that they are grandpa amps lol

I think they are rad

I fuckin love the superdrive. Greasy, loud, rock and roll
