Very nice pedal

I dont think anyone would have used your method before😂….. Sorry im a cnc machinist couldn’t resist

This was a great demo of this guitar , really showed me what it can do , I think the schematics is based on the California Tweed model , they just added a second channel with some modern amenities , subscribed 👍

Good video as always, James. That was insightful hearing through the lapel mic, no where near as good without the UA magic.

But your hard tail had wood routed out for the PAF and its not a true single coil. So not an apple to apples test respectfully.

I thought you got some pretty fantastic tones out of the BD in this video. Admittedly, it's my favorite Two Rock of all. I owned 3 different TR's at one point, the BD is the only one still with me. Great amp and great demo! Thanks!

A great way to end the week with one of James videos. Thanks for putting this together.

Fender should release a reissue of the vibrolux....

What a fantastic video have a great weekend James also Paul have a great first week of October ❤😊

Sorry but you borderline overcooked if you wanted med rare as that is the true test. You had med -med well. Just sayin' brother.

For those who read my previous comments essentially the question is.. will the Bloomfield drive can hold Yellow Ledbetter (PJ), Riviera Paradise (SRV) as well as Sweet Emotions & Eat the rich (Aerosmith) at the same time?.. for the first two I can say yes,.. because I tried with a strat.. but what about that crunchy 70/ 80’s humbuckers tones?.. is an amp that can meet both flavours even with a little help from an overdrive pedal?

Interesting that you mention you found the Bloomfield difficult to get your head around. I found the Bloomfield to be much more usable than the CRS. The Bloomfield has that second channel which takes pedals really well, especially fuzz - (sounds AMAZING). The design of the 2 channels and how it works with the reverb is genius. The CRS is easy to dial in but IMO, It only sounds really great when you play it LOUD. I really didn't like it with the Ox attenuator at all and I didn't like it with Humbuckers. It just sounded flabby with humbuckers to my ear and it turned into a squishy mess with the attenuator on. I ended up selling it. The Bloomfield is the best amp they ever made IMO. It sounds good with every guitar and pickup type. The clean is nice and spanky and has an amazing snappy feel to it. It can go from almost vintage Jimi Marshall tones to an almost dumble ods lead tone. Not to mention, you can play it at lower volumes and still get drive from the amp. Oh, and the reverb sounds Amazing on the bloomfield. I much preferred it to the CRS Reverb. A fantastic amp and I think Two-Rocks best amp ever.

Ski Mask: Check, Fake Gun: Check, Convenience Store Bank Deposit Day: Check. Ready for that Two Rock Bloomfield Drive...what judge would convict me ?

The JLSIG is more punchy, the CRS is smooth but the BFD is just like butter yet incredibly responsive and articulates a tone that is Mayer like. I'm buying one!

Should have played Norwegian Wood...both great guitars

Managed to bag myself an Amplified Nation, it the amp I was hoping the Two Rock Custom Reverb was going to be. My intention was to get the Bloomfield Drive but this is a keeper and can’t see any amp being better (for me)

Bloomfield's lead channel is a one trick pony. It's a good trick nonetheless, but I find myself needing such tone so rarely that I'll need all of my pedals still. I think CLRS is way more versatile with its three gain structures and one channel.

I have the BD and truly love it! Takes a bit of tuning in, once there it's magical

Do you still have the guitar?

Landreth is the clear winner in this shootout. Full, yet so articulate! The other amps are a bit sterile compared to the landreth.

Great great video.. and perfect timing .. as I m away looking at Bloomfield drive videos to convince me and pull the trigger….Once not too long ago I made the mistake of playing the Bloomfield drive with a cS strat in a guitar store … it blew my mind…3d sound, the harmonics, and the list goes on.. but for 20 or so minutes i felt I was a much better player... (bedroom player)…I love GNR, Red hot chilly peppers, Pearl Jam, and I can keep going.. so surely my dream amp has to be a Marshall… but this one was sth else….. soo hard to make my mind 😅..

Great amp this - is it the one for you? Let me know if you have any questions. I didn’t go into the basics/specs of it because i’ve done that several times before.

Great playing, great tone

This is such a good video. Very meticulous and clear!

You're a great player and I enjoy your licks a lot. But I feel that you can achieve the sound you're looking for from almost every one of these guitars by using the EQ on the guitar or getting a specific Amp which you like. I say this from experience. The only thing that's actually hard to deal with is a muddy neck pickup ( in my opinion ) such as Burstbuckers. Amp and tone knobs on the guitar can get you closer to the tone you hear in your mind. I definitely like how you started playing the Les Pauls acoustic acoustically first. I also check carefully the weight distribution on the wood from neck to body.

Love this because I’ve been asking myself the same question and also have a Tele, PRS, Les Paul and a white Strat. They are all so perfect I hope I never have to settle on just one. Great video, thanks man.

Is it just me or is this guy like completely wrong about the sound? Honestly, I’ve played through one of these and it sounds amazing! Not sure about the longevity of it. But I truly don’t understand this negativity on the tone from this guy.

Dude, I looked at your channel and subscribed before I watched any of the videos. So playing an E chord with tremolo and the guitar tuned down is how you test how an amp sounds??? Play the goddamn thing and stop fucking off on one chord

I have the 2006 with gloss black and gold hardware. Not sure if wood korina or not. It's light, so maybe it is, it sounds awesome. Probably one of the best guitars I have owned in my life.

That vox wah sounds killer!!!! I really want to inquire the V846, but I feel like there’s not enough videos covering that one 😭 but aside from that. This video was so cool, definitely subscribed! 👍🏽

Gibson are much clearer and fuller.😎👍

Expencive gear !!!.....two rock ,vemuram ,etc You want to sound better ,just practice more 😂

These amps are tonally different out of the gate. It would be easy for someone to say one is better than the other because all of those Dumble wanna-be's are very mid focused, and mesa has never tried to be Dumblesque. Randall was really always a huge fan of Leo Fender and you can see that in his tone stacks that he built. I believe Mesa's are very versatile amps, but they usually end up in the metal corner which is just one way to use them. They are very capable amps. I have 2. A Mark V 90 and a Blue Angel. Great amps. I never really got with the whole Dumble thing because 1) Its mainly mystique, and 2) I've personally never been a fan of any of the big name people who used them from a tone perspective. I mean they have good tone, but its never grabbed me to the point that I Jones for a Dumble clone.

Right, because no one doing a UA-cam demo has said he’s my clean tone, followed by the sound of a cranked metal zone into a rat…anything to poke at someone. FWIW, I’ve always liked your demos and modest demeanour. Tx!

music is just a touch loud... blessings bro

Thank you for the in-depth video. I am considering placing an order. What is your opinion using single coils or humbuckers. Would humbuckers be a little dark. Secondly, is the Bloomfield is a good platform for pedals up front.

Only problem is the cost is too high for a 5 Watt amp.

It’s like a Time Machine that style and the amp, lovely

I can't find any of the other Explorer videos in this channel can you help?

I don’t get the lust for old technology, worn down, used guitars embedded with old cigarette smoke, sweat and grime from another man. It is the equivalent of a teenager lusting after granny porn.

Do you have a trust fund? (Genuinely no hate in the question).

I'm just 27 but worked a lot to get a twilighter mono when i discoveredi it. First try and the tone haunted me. My quest for tone is kind of done. It's just perfect. Pure, raw, truth.

😍....soooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

First and foremost great video 👍the jimi hendrix sg looked and sounded great but could of sounded better as the bridge pickup was set wonky leaning backwards and was nearly touching the low e at the front of the pickup it would of sounded a hell of a lot better if that was rectified on such an expensive guitar

Tone comes from the hands.

If you just had a sub $2000 (retail/new price) tube-amp, which two pedals would you pick out of the lot, for the cleanest, best sustaining slide-tones if you only had room for two pedals period.

Could you do a video explaining to us in non tech terms what the dual stage actually is and does for the SlideRIG pedal, provided you understand it completely. The pedal comes with two +- suggested settings, but it's like; ''Here you go guys, good luck figuring out how to set up this pedal, just play with it, you guys don't need to know what the 2 stages is actually about or how they interact with each other''. 😄

I've got the same amp. Cant wait to get it up and running. Nice playing!
