Anybody playing a Two Rock?

[Braciola]

Had a Two Rock Emerald 50 for a long time.
Got some Killer hard rock tones from it.

The Two Rock amps have balls, and ask @Alpha Stryke, balls are all you need.

There's a classic reverb at a local shop. May have to try it. That's the John Mayer amp right?

 

[PhilC]

I had classic reverb signature S/N #1 and I’ve had 3 different K&M Customs. They’re all nice for some stuff. I thought I could cover those bases with my blonde bassman and a pedal or 2 so ended up selling them all. I have one of the Glaswerks first 25 hand wired amps for that kind of stuff now and that will never go anywhere.

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

Soldano SLO100……



Always wanted a Traditional clean or classic reverb for cleans.. It’s on my bucket list.. I have a Bogner Barcelona I store for a friend that scratches the itch so I haven’t made the leap just yet. Plan to stop by humbucker music or Chicago music exchange before I gamble..

 

[chumbucket]

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

There's a lot of folks talking about the Revv D40 being a great amp in that Dumble vein.

As you likely know I was a Two Rock nerd from the beginning. Bought my first one in '99 and the Emerald Pro became my favorite amp in 2000. Still Think the Emerald pro was a special amp. Owned over 100 of them from stock models to custom made one offs. Bill knows how to do the big clean thing with reverb better than anybody. As far as recent models I like the Vintage deluxe and traditional clean a bunch. The TS1 is not my fave and that has a lot to do with shared eq between clean and lead. That said they make some good amps. Just saw EJ and he had a Marshall and two twin reverbs and a Two Rock Classic Reverb which is cool too.

what he says
can’t think of anyone more experienced with Two Rock stuff than the Sniderman!

Steve! I didn’t know you posted here. I had one of the early Two Rocks. I don’t remember the name. It had some sort of extra switch on the back, that engaged a separate transformer or something?
I also had the Classic Reverb Signature.
I’ll check out the Vintage Deluxe

Been here forever but had to re-join many years ago with new name and ip adrdess when I got banned for fighting with Brad King. You may have had an Opal Which had a switch on front for selecting a a lead channel tone stack that was different than the HRM tone stack you could engage. That was a great amp. They did a reissue in 2016 which did not sound at all like the early ones.

I’ve still got an Em Pro and I’m right there with you, it’s got the juice. I tried a Bloomfield Drive for a little while, but I couldn’t bond with it, too thin sounding.

 

[tonedog]

I snagged a 25 year emerald pro and for what it does that is a great amp. Still one of the best models they have made.

 

[mentoneman]

my friend sent me pics from a tone get together a few nights ago and said there were a bunch of cool two rocks and Bill K. tweaked amps he checked out.

 

[Jccobb2]

Oddly enough the new purple channel on the 104BV does a two rock kind of overdrive. You’ve gotta tweak the EQ pretty radically, and I don’t crank the gain up very far but It’s there. Actually a really cool channel that i didn’t expect.

Any experience with the Jade? There’s a Jade 50 that I can get a decent deal on near me but feedback on it is sparse. Zero two rock experience but this would be a studio to compliment old Marshall’s, Soldano, EVH, VHT stuff.

 

[Eazy-ESP]

No, I’m not gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

the first Opal i played was magical and the next two were nice but not jaw dropping.
is there anything Two Rock is making these days that sounds similar?

You should check out Wahiawa Amp Works 'Tree Rock', broke da ear and one louder than Two Rock

I've never even seen a Two Rock except on a stage. If I ever win the lottery I'd buy the most expensive desirable real Dumble and give Mark Cameron enough Mama Celeste to Jose mod it just to make TGP heads explode.
