Buying A Two Rock Amp - Classic Guitar Reverb VS Bloomfield Drive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Which Two Rock Amp to get? Two Rock Classic Guitar Reverb or a Two Rock Bloomfield Drive? What a lovely position to be in! :)
A student of mine has been wanting to get one for a while and asked if I would help him out and put the 2 amps through there paces. Helps even more when you're playing lovely guitars such as the PRS John Mayer Silver Sky, Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Shop, Xotic S type and a beautiful Gibson ES-335. Of course after choosing the amp. Pete realises he wants one of the guitars!! :)

Mike has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, and from that first moment his love affair with music and the instrument began. Fresh out of school at the age of 16 he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and completed a year-long Diploma course.
After finishing the ACM his life as a full time musician began, playing in numerous bands and touring up and down the country playing iconic venues such asThe Shepherds Bush Empire, The Astoria, The Underworld and London’s Jazz Café. He’s also been fortunate enough to support industry legends Paul Weller, Blondie and Katie Melua.
Mike’s session work has led to his working on a variety of projects - from performing with stars such as Ricky Wilson and Diana Vickers, to appearing in many TV shows and adverts. Mike loves being on stage performing, but is equally at home recording in a studio - where he has worked with Alex Von Soos (All Saints, Seal, Atomic Kitten), Mike Horner (The Prodigy, Shakira, Bloc Party), and Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro)
What a day...thanks for coming along with me Mike- I am over the moon with the TWO-ROCK BLOOMFIELD, two amps in one. Also the ES 335 historic 61 we purchased is the bomb! John at Peach was awesome!
Was a great afternoon buddy! Look forward to seeing the 335 again soon! :)
Hey Peter congrats on your purchase man you certainly get your monies worth with Two Rock just out of interest how many other guitars do you have and was that your first 335?
Great choice! Is that the 6v6 or 6L6 version?
@@MikeBradleyofficial Nice video! Was this the 100/50W or the 40/20W?
I hope this completed your mid life crisis :), I'm about to be done with mine, end of this year I think.
That 335 into the clean amp is delicious. I recently got a 335 and it’s made me gravitate more to clean amp tones than ever before.
I love this ritual, so to speak. We see the phases of:
1) I can finally afford it
2) the drive to the shop, with carefully selected tunes for the road.
3) the anticipation mounting as you step out of the car.
4) setting your ideas on the gear for the first time.
5) sales guy goes above and beyond to get you anything you need. And you chat about how wonderful music is.
6) the bastard brings out a vintage guitar which you can also afford.
7) loading both pieces into your car while the wife looms in the back of your mind.
You forgot the bit where the dude from the guitar shop is actually 11 times better than you and not even he can afford it.😂
@@batheavy2834 He actually can, he's got a custom made, custom colour Bloomfield drive from two rock haha
Mike, I’m aware this is 4 yrs old but would love to see more high end guitar store visits like this. It’s great.
Thanks for the feedback, will see what i can do.
I work at a musical instruments store and I love when someone buys a guitar and amp get excited whether he or she is a beginner or a professional.
jet black tea I do too. And I don’t even work at a store. But I get the same feeling.
Bought a second hand SuhR Modern from Peach when they were in the old barn. John's a great guy. So glad to see Peach have come so far since those days.
Very cool video, I really enjoyed it. Bloomfield all the way to me, will never regret my purchase, that amp is awesome.
This is the best comparison I've seen of the Bloomfield and the CRS. Great video!
Great to hear!!
I love when the sound is unprocessed, sounding as if you were standing next to it. Awesome.
I would be like a spoiled little 8 yr old, flailing around on the floor, screaming, "I WANT EVERYTHING IN THIS STORE !!!"
That was fun mike. Can we do more 'mike goes to the music shop' videos? Perhaps go bargain hunting for guitars. Not everyone can blow 5 or 6 grand like that fella 😆
Bloomfield is almost like having a pedal going into the front end 😏. I love two rock cleans with a strat. So good. Who could hate that sound? Peach guitars has some good content and Jack is an amazing player. Subscribe to them if you aren’t guys.
David D jacks got that pentatonic scale nailed, lol.
This is John isn't he
I have a bloomfield drive coming soon, I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE
Can’t wait until a bunch of these Bloomfield’s come to the used market at an affordable price. Then again, who would sell this?
The Breitling of the guy is worth as much as the Two Rock and the Gibson together
Right 👌🏼
The student plays that guitar better than his teacher hahaha.
Teacher just plays it like a butcher and the student actually made melodic dynamic sounds
Actually neither is really a good enough player for that amp to do them any good at all. If that guy really wanted to do his "student" a favor, he would be honest with him and tell him to save the money for retirement.
Congrats man, well done, fine choices! It’s satisfying seeing someone enjoy these life changing purchases! Did you tell the wife, “yeah Kevin from down the road said he didn’t need these anymore and I can have them”? Hehe. You’re all sorted, rock on man.
Les Paul 2019, Custom Shop 59, 60th anniversary. Just arrived from Peach. :-)
Is it called Two Rock because there is one on top of the other?
No that is Two Rock Squared. Don’t get me started on 3rd power amps.
@@goeatbox1 ooooooo of oooooo of

Wow that guitar shop dude is a tasty player!
Check out their channel. Peach guitars. They are awesome.
I believe that he's the store owner. Great stuff!
Damn these sound amazing! Wish I could afford one
So do I!! haha
The Bloomfield Drive is perfect for Ford/Carlton kinda stuff.
Wow the sound man, i'm blown away, two rock is rock!
A mike vlog, coffee guitar and chill😎
Congrats on your new 335 man! Oh, the two rock too! P. S. Hope the wife doesn’t kill you!
Thanks i feel vert grateful to be able to get the two rock and ES-335...wife was ok! In the end. Bloody mid-life crisis, rock on!
“Fuckin’ ‘ell” that was the point😂😂😂
Amazing amp!From Moscow with love!
Sounds like a blues jr great purchase!
Damn this was a very enjoyable video to watch! I was on pins and Needles for a minute there lol
good call
Awesome vid as usual! Nice one!
Great guitar shop, Peach Guitars.
Cool video. I hope you can go back to music store and play the SRV and Jimmie Vaughan strats. Have a great day .
Im enjoying my vox ac30s1 i just picked up. great cleans and takes pedals well too.
Very cool video beginning to end! SCORE baby! Score......
What did you think of Gary Clark Jr.!?!? I just saw him two weeks ago, he played for free in Saint Louis Missouri for the Saint Louis Blues (our hockey team made it to and won the stanley cup final!) pre-game party. I thought he was great, I've been waiting to see him for a while. He was supposed to come last summer but the only music festival we've ever had here was canceled the day before the show.
He was amazing, 2nd time i've seen him. His guitar tone is what a guitar should sound like. AND he has some great tunes.
I did enjoy that. GAS in the wild!
It sounds really good!
Sounds great love the Mp
@ 4:25 - Nice Navitimer!!!
Good Lord what a shopping day
Great sounding amps!
Don't want to be a hater but I somewhat cringe when I see someone pull out a Silver Sky.
No cheap ride... ! :))
awesome video, so cool
Unless you’re gigging big venues seems a big old unit. I have the tiny MESA Express behind John and that sounds great for various styles and it’s loud enough for a pub gig. But if money is no object ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mannnn, I’m in trouble now. 🤩😍🍔🍟
Guess I found the tone I was searching for: that two rock and a strat combo on clean settings... Now just have to get rich to be able to afford it
Very uncomfortable seeing that guitar in a case with the whammy bar on it
Awesome!
So what’s the deal with the SRV and Jimmie Vaughn Strats? Are they limited edition relics? For a second I thought those were the actual guitars they played because they look so close to the original. They look so spot on that I’m wondering if they actually played them...?
Aren't you supposed to play Smoke on the water or Sweet Child of Mine? 🤔
That BD tho! I wish I had a BD
Hey Mike! Were you recognized as a fellow UA-camr?
hehe.. I was indeed.
I love the clean sounds of the amps, but could never afford one. Nice to listen though.
I guess I could afford one of the bigger amps, but probably wouldn't ever spend the money, anyway. I did get a small studio signature 35 recently, though, and it also sounds huge. there is a difference in sound quality vs. cheaper amps that as a cynic, I wouldn't have believed as being much more than hype. they sound enormous without having the kind of ugly flab at the bottom that fenders can get when pushed hard.
Anyone know which wattage version this was?
I am guessing ~10K that guy spent
Custom Reverb and a pedal ??
Is this going to sound any better than a 3000 dollar amp?
Awww, I thought you were buying your own Two Rock.
Wish I could!
John Knows his gear.
You can get a used one on eBay for only $4,200! Not an amp for a weekend warrior.
tried to blur the number plate, but it is leaked...
haha was a bit tricky to do.
@@MikeBradleyofficial I bet :D
The SRV sold straight away.
The SRV and Jimmie strats are John's personal guitars.
5:25 7:35
That salesmon can play.
What was the white strat version?
It’s an Xotic Strat
There was also a white PRS Silver Sky - basically a Strat.
@@kcd2120 for sure, thanks. Those headstocks are always recognizable! :D I meant the unique one at 25:55. Cheers
what's the riff he plays at 14:39

Is it illegal to play rock on an es-335 in the US? Back when the DJ'S and FEDs pulled the switch on rockabilly and rock'n roll in America in 1958 for 5 years, everybody but Buddy Holly had been playing Gretsch's, 335s and the like. And when the brits smuggled the music back to America in 1963, george harrision was playing a casino. But by '68 nearly everybody was playing a strat, tele or lp to this day. Illegal in America or maybe two-rock forbids music stores demoing their amps with 335s; there are (was) a half dozen hanging on the wall (and Peach Tree is in England not Atlanta GA USA).
Say what u want, why not play something with taste?
Just sum cheap stuff dumped in the back of an ol’ banger.😂
I just can't stop myself from getting a Mesa Boogie Filmore 100.
The best way to try a new amp is awith a lp🤘🤘🤘👍👍🎉🎉🎆🎆💥🎇🎇🎇🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶
hehehe.. that was a tasty one!
Great amps but the definition of overpriced and this is coming from a guy who owns 2 handwired Friedman’s.
Für das Geld, was man dafür latzen soll, reißt mich das alles andere als vom Hocker!
Can't hear 5 grand
Train your ears..
Train your wallet ...
Who walks in and buys 10-15k worth of gear in one day I mean that's some serious loot.
Dan Brian rich worker. Or low paid worker that saves up n traded up.
Will Roberts For sure I guess I saying more specifically buying a two rock and a ES 335 on the same day is the equivalent buying a Porsche and saying why don’t I pick up a Ferrari seeing as I’m here buying one car anyway 🤣
40k car, 3.5k guitar, 4.5k amp. Can't play for shit.
Who cares as long as he enjoys it and didn’t harm anyone to get it?
Your rushing your notes , you need to slow it down
Damn this auto play. Every time one of you r videos comes on, i just feel embarrassed. It'd be mean and out of order to criticise your playing, but every word, and every facial expression makes me bury my face in my hands. I'm sorry, but man - do you not watch/listen to your output?
Dude, you suck so much i feel sorry for realising it. i dont know if you can do do it, but can you try to block me?
What a miserable person you must be to post such comments...
