Good lord. That amp and that player are a perfect match. That's about as fine a demo as I've ever seen.
I really liked the sound when he played the semi hollow guitar. This amp sounds great all around
Triad Tube Stack will be the name of my next band. Dibs!
Excellent demo and video. The 6L6 35W amp sounds amazing! Great playing too!
Sounds absolutely beautiful thank you
What a fine playing and a sound too!
Awesome amps, and super nice playing, David d!! Beautiful!!
Fantastic playing!
Fantastic player, great demo!
Amazing
I love Two Rock. Been playing them since the Studio series. Currently using a Classic Reverb Signature. But Two Rock’s nomenclature on amps like this and the Burnside is a little maddening. How hard would it be to print seperate names on the face plates to differentiate the 6V6 amps from the 6L6 amps??? They’re very obviously different amps. Give them different names!
Anyway, they sound great. I think I prefer the 6L6 version…
Thanks, amps sound amazing, and the Collings was unforgettable, great playing
Great guitar playing.....amps all sound good....but I liked the 6l6.
🔊Well done🎸🎤
beautiful pairing, love the matte finish on that guitar
Thanks, man. I love that guitar!
Sublime
Good playing man wow
Right when I thought I'd heard it all....dang it
I enjoyed the on-screen corrections.😁
Ha! My brain and mouth don't always link up.
These amps sound killer! Love David's playing too. Figures he's rocking a Danocaster, a man after my own heart ;-)
I’ve been saving money to buy the classic reverb signature and now I don’t know what to do 😅
I really wish you guys would have done some pure clean tones with the humbucker I35. Not to pick on you guys but seems so many people immediately go to drive when they use humbuckers.
I would love a 35W “Studio TS1”… some kind of baby version of the TS1, to be paired with my Studio Signature :)
D Jimenez is a stud
Would have been great to play the same guitar through them so we could tell a difference, if any.

What’s the benefit of a solid state rectifier?
It's a faster response, meaning less compression. The solid state rec is the core of the "Two-Rock" (Dumble) sound. Tube rec is more of a vintage feel.
@@AustinGuitarHouse thanks!
@@AustinGuitarHousewhich configuration do people seem to be gravitating towards?
@@ericleach2504 Pretty much split down the middle.
the mix is a little weird in my headphones. Would definitely appreciate having the guitar in center instead.
I appreciate including an es335 style guitar in an amp demo. In MHO, though, such guitars potentially sparkle in only 2 tone realms. 1) the Clapton Marshall plexi woman's tone realm and 2) cleans. The problem with amps for es335s is that the semihollow/humbucker combination makes es335s bark out harsh pick attacks and then fail to decay even after a note is released (i.e. the fretting gets released or the strings get otherwise muted). Amp designers since Leo Fender have never taken such into account and instead accentuate pick attack and unbridled sustain. Clapton got around that by using massive compression and turning down the tone. Jazz guitarists don't use massive compression but often turn their tone knobs down, which has its own negative effects. Finding a tube amp voiced for good clean tones for es335s and archtop hollowbodies is a frightful challenge. Adding reverb to the already sustained cleans just adds insult to injury. I'm just saying it as a jazz player sees it.
6L6 sounds better
Was it the first or second amp? I skipped all the talking parts so that I could listen to the playing.
Not fair to use such a good stunt guitar player to review gear
That's why we hire him. You'll see me on the "lesser" gear. ;)
so basically a 6k Mesa Boogie?
Open the head and open a mesa boogie head. I doubt a TR will need work like a mesa boogie, and if it wouldn't, it's dreamy inside compared to the clown car of stuff in mesas.
The actual sound of the TR in person is astounding - there is a size to it but still the fendery mids and no bottom end fart out or fragility like a fender.
there's nothing about the only one I've played (have it in my basement, studio signature) that reminds me of mesa at all. Though Mesas do have a certain big sound that's nice in a different way.
@@daw162I'll double you on that, this thing is nothing like a Mesa. I was blown away by the thing. Couldn't afford it but could feel, hear and see the build quality was like no other.
I also agree the inside of mesa amps are a mess and seem to go wrong and end up on work bench more than other high end builders. All that said they are great sounding amps.
Absolutely not. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mesa (the Mark V is one of my favorite amp), but they have very little in common with the Two-Rock… and clearly nothing related if you open them up. The Two-Rock are point to point amps while Mesa are PCB amps. I’m not arguing it’s better or worse tone, it’s just different construction. It’s gonna be easier to repair and fix a point to point amp, it’s what was made in the ‘60s and ‘70s. A lot of technicians don’t even want to open a Mesa Mark because of the complexity inside. My Two-Rock not only feels premium, but it also sounds premium, you have an insane dynamic and headroom, even for a 35w… and the tone isn’t cold and rigid like some amps on clean channels… it’s warm and full. I know it’s hard to describe tones, but there’s a reason why Two-Rock exist and some people love to buy their amps (and not just rich people), even thought they’re relatively quite expensive amps… Does it mean you NEED a $6k amp to play guitar? Absolutely not… but if you can afford it, save money long enough, and if you’re serious about your spending, you can spend it wisely and get a Two-Rock and you will pretty much stop your tone quest, you will get it… I’m not seeking for another “clean amp” since I got my Two-Rock, I have everything I need and I won’t resell it… ever. (And no one will convince me otherwise). Having said that, I will still happily play the Mesa Mark V for all high-gain tones. We have it at the studio and I love it… to the point I’m lurking to get one for myself at home (even if it’s overkill for my home/studio use). They’re just different beast, different tones and different usage… no need to hate one to love the other :)
To get 60s tones, forget the reverb. I know that's counterintuitive. Besides, it hides what the amp sounds like and covers up any serious playing.
This video shows folks trying to sell a 5.000 dollars amp without having a single idea about how a tube amp functions and what the knobs and switches do.
What they really need is a youtube comment expert to tell them.
>>This channel doesn't have any content
This amp worth 10k , never heard this quality
Pay 2.5k for a tone king that is half compare to two rock , when you balance this amp is actually cheap
@@cutittaierau3128 ok, what is it that it makes worth so much money?
Clean sound= BOR-RING 🙄
