loving both of these, Two Rock is blowing me away. Fantastic cleans and big, open gnarly crunch/distorted tones.
The Bogner cab is loaded with 2 Celestion Creamback 65's. Got it to add color and spice when I want to run 2 cabs with one head. 1 stock Uberkab, 1 all V30 and 1 Uberkab with Scumback J75 and V30's
 
How do you like the Bogner 4x12 + 2x12 combination compared to the 4x12 + 4x12 setup ?
 
Both sound good together. I would run my Triple Rec into the stock Uberkab with the V30 cab which sounded really, really good. It's cool to to experiment with different heads with different speaker combinations. However, I usually try to run 1 cab as to not get spoiled with always running 2x412's as it sounds big. But the 2x12 with creams I wanted for a different grind. Nice to change it up.
 
About time someone got a Two Rock on here

I have a Studio Pro 35... the Sensor is on my list

Did you get to compare the Bi-Onyx to other TR models?
 
I wasn't able to play any TR's locally, I had heard a combo in a store that a guy was playing through and it sounded amazing. I'm not sure which model it was though. I had researched some stuff about them and had heard a lot of great reviews. My judgement to try one was based off of a couple youtube videos that quite frankly didn't even come close to doing it justice. I'm the oddball as I didn't really get the Bi-Onyx based on the clean tones, I wanted a really unique gain channel and it is way cooler than i imagined. The Anderton's demo of it sucks and I'm actually amazed they got such a crappy tone out of it. I tweaked the knobs to between 11:00 and 2:00 and got a great tone in about a minute. I will say the Boost is super loud but I like the push it gives the amp.

I had considered the Sensor as well but the features on the Bi-Onyx (clean/dirty with boost for each channel) and of course great reverb. It also takes pedals well - although I haven't tried the loop yet, I'm mostly a boost guy so I like having a variety of them to add a little push on the front end.

I will say the amp seems to be built very well, for such a small headshell it's HEAVY
 
Anderton's had a huge hard-on for the Sensor, so I think they didn't really bother with the Bi-Onyx

If either of these models have similar cleans to my Studio Pro, I'm thinking about selling it and getting the Sensor (or Bi-Onyx, but that's getting in the more expensive model range)
 
Sensor 50w is about $3000.00 so only a little less than the Bi-Onyx. I don't usually dig shared eq, but maybe the Sensor works with it.

here are a couple vids that give me a better idea of what it might sound like - however in person (at least how I dialed it up and with my cabs) it sound even better


 
connies on the bi

i had the original onyx and it was a sweetie but even though the clean was delish side by side i favored the overall clean to mean thing my carol ann OD2r was delivering

my dream two rock is still an opal NOS'ed with glass because it sounds like this

and if you desire the dumble side of two rock you could get really close with cheaper amps and pedals

How about the good old Zendrive?

zen is cool smaller and cheaper than ethos. good to tighten up a loose sounding amp and better when the amp is slightly driven. zen 2 is sweeter with the tube fatness. ethos is a great pedal though and my go to for most of my lead tones.
