I have this amp for seven years , never used its potential and basically left it alone but now I can’t stop playing anymore , thx a lot , great play and lecture
Such a great demo Paul, what a refreshing change to hear someone not just try to sound like John Mayer with a Two Rock. You seriously have opened my eyes to the range of capability this has, its tone and quality was never in question but I have wondered how broad a spectrum it covered. All questions answered, so good 👍
I was wanting a 40/20 combo for its size and really not needing 100 watts of potential power.. but the tone you’re getting with the 100w is flat out AMAZING. I’m sold. Bloom? Ohhhhh yea. Just bought a 100 CRS head and cab.
A lot of these people saying it isn’t worth it have clearly never played a Two Rock. My Traditional Clean is just a phenomenal amp, I love it so much I’m grabbing a TS1 soon as well now. These amps are just in a different league compared to almost anything else on the market.
When something’s worth, it’s because someone gave it some value. So, if someone decide it individually and the world is full of individuals, the answer will vary and be dependent of each one’s circumstances, that usually includes how much money you can spend on this. Even if I play the amp (which never happened) and absolutely love it, if I don’t have the money, it doesn’t worth for me. By the way, yes, it’s an amazing amp and I love your videos.
Best review hands down… what a sound ! My lord…!!! Thanks so much for this fantastic review !!! The part where you pushed the amp into awesome rock territory caught me by surprise…. WHAT AN AMP…
You know… I love amplifiers. I’ve searched all my life for the perfect amp. I’ve owned, in my younger days; fender, 67’ Princeton, Baseman, Twin, Quad, Ampeg V4, SVT, Epiphone Galaxie 25(moded), and now a katana 100. I’m now 69. I don’t need much. And everything I have looked for all these years don’t exist in any amp whether be it a $5K amp or $500 amp. But… the Katana comes as close as any. And I don’t even have a foot controller or connect to Tone Lab. I suppose you could search forever? Na. I’m not lost.
The closest thing I have found to a perfect amp for me is a Soldano. However, I have realized that it’s probably impossible for one amp to ever be everything for me. Even with effects pedals, there are just many times I can’t get the sound on the Soldano to be exactly like my H&K Grandmeister, or one of my other amps. So its just easier to plug in to that other amp and start playing, rather than wasting a lot of time trying to dial in the tone using my main amp and pedals. So I will probably always have at least 3 to 4 different amps.
Two Rock makes a great amp, and although the designs wavered over time in the PBG days, they seem to be back to their former glory. They are very expensive, and made limited in quantities, but also labor is not cheap in California, nor are amp parts in small quantities that they're building them relative to a Mesa Boogie, Friedman, etc. or amp company making thousands of amps each year. Heck a cabinet and speaker alone can be $500 or more without a mark up, that's already 10% of the total cost and probably more like 20% or more of the material cost. With that said, can you get a great tone in the Two Rock ballpark for less money? I say yes! You can get pretty much any vintage Fender for $1,700-$3,000 and get a clean tone that is equal to any great Two Rock clean tone. Two Rock is still rooted in Fender (by way of Dumble) so a great Super Reverb, Pro Reverb, Twin Reverb, can all sound great - throw some Celestion's in there or more British-voiced speakers and you're getting into that Two Rock/Dumble clean territory. Most of the folks that I see will refute this Fender - Two Rock (or Dumble inspired amp) similarity often have little experience with vintage Fender amps to establish a credible baseline, and often aren't professional level players themselves. If you want the name association of "Two Rock" and want to be part of the club, nothing will do but a Two Rock, but if the goal is a great clean tone like what you hear Paul Drew getting here, you can get there with a quality vintage Fender amp easily.
What a great comment! Thank you! I’m trying to get someone to do a blindfold challenge and I’ll bet nobody can tell it apart from a blackface through a 2x12 cabinet.
What a great comment! Thank you! I’m trying to get someone to do a blindfold challenge and I’ll bet nobody can tell it apart from a blackface through a 2x12 cabinet.
For what it’s worth -I have a real 65 deluxe reverb and a v1 two rock classic reverb that I have owned, recorded and gigged for many years. The vintage fender sounds awesome, but it doesn’t come close to the dynamic range and tonal versatility of the two rock. It’s much more expressive and the eq is extremely powerful (like a studio-grade rackmount eq) and no matter where you set it, it sounds great, just different. They are very very different animals, and I think you’d agree if you had experience with both. The fender is awesome, but it’s not in the same league. The two rock has a harmonic depth that is unlike any thing I’ve ever played (which is why I’ve owned it for 15 years and it’s still the best amp I’ve ever heard) Not to mention, the two rock takes pedals much better than the fender, which can get a bit harsh and/or flabby sounding depending on what kind of drive you use. Don’t get me wrong, the deluxe is really something special and has that familiar vintage sound we’ve heard on a million records, but the two rock is truly in a league of its own.
Best amp I have ever played through. Was about to pull the trigger on one, hesitated and it was gone. Now the same amp went up $500. Kind of kicking myself now.
This was an outstanding review. What incredible touch and tone and timing! Bravo, sir. You also just prompted me to put in an order for the Two Rock. ps If you’re looking for a versatile amp that gives you high gain and crunch and good cleans, whilst it’s not the TR league I can sure recommend my Mesa Boogie Triple Crown 100w…
Of course it is !!! That why I couldnt sell mine !! I am intrested in what you think of the Matchless as it is a different animal. Also look at a Bad Cat as it is similar in AC style but a hell of a lot cheaper ! If you can sell the car you can have both amps !!!
I'm not much of an amp guy and don't have this amp, but having had probably 30 amps and some were good and others just OK, I'm trying to downsize. I found a used studio signature as I only play to myself any longer and don't need big watts, and I wanted something repairable and quality as a potential last stop. What I wasn't prepared for was how stunningly lush and full the sound is and how easy it is to get good sounds out of a T-R, and it's no a matter of finding a magic setting. They're different. I don't think any amp will solve the overbuying for a true addict who is just going to keep going, but I'm stunned.
Another great clip Paul. Huge amount of money for an amplifier however, you're hardly playing a cheap Strat copy thru it. Personally, I'd love to hear it with the Les Paul or the DGT. Top shelf guitars deserve a top shelf amp. If you've got the gear, if you've got the fingers to make it sound the way it should, and you've got the coin, its a no brainer. I've never played through a Two Rock, but they're still the best amps I've ever heard.
I agree. This video sold me.. can’t wait till it comes in. Going to ABY with a Germino Club 40 or Germino Classic 45. I’ve got a few beautiful strats.. one of them is a new Fender Jimi Hendrix Voodo Child CS Stratocaster.. but I’m looking at that DGT as soon as I can liquidate some gear to replace a PRS SE I have right now with some Jim Wagner Godwood/Crossroad humbuckers in it. This new amp will be replacing a Fargen blackbird 40W amp.
Having gone through 50 guitars and amps: If you’ve got the money buy a killer amp and guitar even if you are the only person who can hear the difference
It’s expensive for sure, but no different to any popular market in the world. There’s fantastic budget anything and if it’s a popular topic you bet there’ll be a mega expensive brand too. For those in the US though, guitar GAS is sooo much cheaper. Firstly the are 5 states with no sales tax, secondly the market is so huge and competitive with pressure from Sweetwater and Guitar Center that it is RARE that you need to pay the asking price. Get friendly with dealers and many of the generous return policies, and US residents can buy from many dealers in the US with discount prices. Even with no discount brands, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Just gotta be savvy about it. I lived in Portland, Oregon many years with no sales tax and just moved back to the UK. Relocating has definitely stopped me buying gear. Knowing I have to pay approx 40% more in some cases is enough to cure me of GAS in the UK 😊. A year ago CRS and Bloomfield amps were $4200. On todays exchange rate I paid £3000 for such a TR and £660 for a 2x12 cab. Heck even the 1x12 cabs are now £750 in the UK. So we just have to keep in mind that guitar enthusiasts in the UK do have to pay a massive premium for gear… and residents of the US should be happy they are getting the best prices in the world. Especially when you factor in the ease with which a savvy negotiator can get silly money guitars, amps and other gear for great discounts without even breaking a sweat. In the UK if I go to Peach guitars or Anderton’s or anywhere else asking for what is a reasonable 15-20% discount in the US… I just get laughed at. That’s just the way it is. I hope you find the amp that makes your heart sing. Cheers for the great videos 👍
The Two Rock speaker is awful and makes the CRS sound too bright and brittle. Play the CRS through a different speaker and it’s so much sweeter. Was an absolute game changer for me. Thanks for the vid!
Sounds great! I don’t think it would suit me though. I’ve never found an amp I am entirely happy with! I think people need to remember and factor in that you are a professional. Some tools are expensive and some get the job done for cheaper. Would I buy a £500 drill? No cause I don’t need it. I don’t need one to be super reliable as it’s not my work. Would there be ones that are priced somewhere in between what I have and that £500 one that do the job just as well. Yep but doesn’t mean that the £500 one won’t be preferred by some. Same principle applies to this for me.
Sounds wonderful but at 4700 sterling I think it would own me rather than the other way around. I,d never gig it and suspect I couldn’t lift it either.
Hmm - sounds like the katana. - jokes, sounds fantastic Paul. It was inevitable. Is it THE ONE ? Sounds quite voxy in the drive setting. Next video - How to make the Katana sound like the Two Rock?
It’s a shame the British cannot come up with something as good… by all means correct me if I’m wrong…. Excluding Marshall and Vox.. of course… but I see those amps as being workhorses and not in the same league
Excellent review. However what was your final thoughts, is it a keeper? Did it live up to expectations, or too early to tell till you have tried other amps?
Hey Paul, good job, great guitar playing. I’m after this TR model could you please share your signal path. Guitar straight into the amp ? Are you using mic to capture the tones or some kind of load box like the UA OX ? Did you had any post processing to the tones ? Thanks, cheers
Trying to decide between the CRS and TS1. I’m a clean tone first kinda player, so it’s mostly is the trade off of reverb worth the second gain channel. Is it easy to have a clean platform on a CRS then send it into gain and is that gain better than other 2 channel amps?
To be frank your Katana videos sound just as good on my studio monitors.. If you're in the $200k a year income range and enjoy music as your hobby, or you make your entire income from your musical endeavors with your income after cost is in the $80k a year. Otherwise it's a poor financial choice. The sad thing is 95% of all people in the world will make poor financial decisions so have at it.😆
For the musicians/guitarists I know it would be a case of-'Do the gigs I'm doing justify the price tag?' Players turning up to wedding and pub gigs with these will generally be 'weekend warriors' with good non music jobs. Also difficult in a time when govt restrictions could take out months of gigs overnight.
@@TheStudioRats Yeah there affordable and rock solid amps. Rock history was played through fender amps. I really cant see where someone would want this 2 rock amp. To expensive for the road and a gigging night club weekend warrior. CAn you enlighten me on who would use this amp???? Just a friendly question. THX TSR
@@themayor6836 John Mayer, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Joey Landreth, Ariel Posen (all touring pros) and even Mick Taylor from That Pedal Show who credits his Two Rock amp for tightening up his playing as it hides no mistakes. Two Rock seems to have quite a following.
@@mcmillanalex Most of the players you mentioned were probably given these amps for exposure. Find a night club guy making $100 a night playing one... Wont happen my friend. Just an overpriced amp for rich guys like Bonamassa.
@@themayor6836 I'm sure you're right about most few of the musicians I listed, but for the local Winnipeggers (Joey Landreth and Ariel Posen) I imagine they paid out of their own pockets. Do you think it's more justifiable buying an expensive guitar, like the Gibson Murphy Lab line, rather than an expensive amp? I haven't had an opportunity to try playing through such an expensive amp, but I'm happy with inexpensive guitars that are set up well. The idea of purchasing an artfully aged guitar for around $10K is far crazier to me than buying an amp that is half that price.
Thankfully, 50+ years of music history didn't hold back because they didn't have a $11k guitar amplifier. I can only imagine how embarrassing it must be to say out loud that much spent on a single guitar amplifier. While the Two Rocks all sound fantastic, no amp is worth that much money except to people who are seduced by how much they can spend on gear. Somewhere someone is laughing till they piss themselves at how easy it has become to part wads of cash from folks. No blah blah argument can overrule the laughability factor of that kind of spending behaviour ✌️🎶🎶🤘😄😄😄😄
I have this amp for seven years , never used its potential and basically left it alone but now I can’t stop playing anymore , thx a lot , great play and lecture
I was beyond perfectly happy with my Two Rock Bloomfield Drive. Then I picked up a CRS 40/20. It really is the perfect amp.

Is it really worth that price? I don't know, but it's one of the most beautiful sounding amp I've ever heard in my life.

Thank you for making this. You’re absolutely right: way too many channels that do quick reviews of an amp and don’t explore its potentials.

My only worry with old fenders is how unreliable they can be. I’ve had some bad experiences with them failing in the past
@@mccauley6027 And I've had nothing but the opposite. Mine have lasted better than any modern amp. Going on over 50 years with no issues.

Sounds killer. I think I have landed on my perfect amp recently. It's the 57 Custom Twin Low Power from Fender Custom Shop.
Good luck with the search, hope your feeling better after having covid.
Cheers Ben!
Beautiful amp. Expensive yes, but still very beautiful
Personally I would love to see this and a VHT D50 compared. The VHT is a very affordable dumble esque amp, no reverb, but would be fun to compare.
Having gone through 50 guitars and amps:
If you’ve got the money buy a killer amp and guitar even if you are the only person who can hear the difference
That's some serious TONE there Paul ! But for $5k, I'd have to sell one of my cars... lol!

Sounds wonderful but at 4700 sterling I think it would own me rather than the other way around. I,d never gig it and suspect I couldn’t lift it either.
"Worth" is hard to explain. But the main Two Rock amps are different than anything I've felt before. I don't know if you can get it any other way.
beautifull intro

Great video. Any chance you’ll check out the Fuchs ODS?
I’d love too, I’m not sure where to get one to try in the UK.
Sounds great but so does my Two Rock Studio Pro plus at half the price. Mine has tube tremolo too.
nice
Great amps, saying its a super reverb on steroids its not fair though.
I am willing to pay more for an amp than i am willing to pay for guitar.
Gotta say I was underwhelmed. lol But to be fair I often am with Fender-esque amps, too weedy.
It’s a shame the British cannot come up with something as good… by all means correct me if I’m wrong…. Excluding Marshall and Vox.. of course… but I see those amps as being workhorses and not in the same league
Excellent review. However what was your final thoughts, is it a keeper?
Did it live up to expectations, or too early to tell till you have tried other amps?
Hi Hollywood. It’s a little too early to tell. I’ve got the Matchless coming in for review soon, I’ll let you know then.
@@TheStudioRats excellent, I look forward to seeing it. Btw will you consider other less boutique like victorys or Suhr like a PT15 or PT100 etc

Louis Electric Deltone. Best of the best for Fender DR tonality with 10x the flexibility and no issues of an old amp. Look no further.

There’s no denying the Amp 1 could get close.
Hey Paul, good job, great guitar playing. I’m after this TR model could you please share your signal path.
Guitar straight into the amp ?
Are you using mic to capture the tones or some kind of load box like the UA OX ?
Did you had any post processing to the tones ?
Thanks, cheers
Hi P. Cheers! Guitar straight to amp, amp is plugged into a two notes torpedo studio.
Very nice but Its hard to believe any amplifier is worth nearly $5k...
Yes, true
So he never answers the question “is it worth the money?”.
Yeah, at the end I'm like...????
Because you need to answer the question yourself. Did this demo make you check your credit card limit? If not, probably not worth it to you.
Did not answer the question. Is it worth 4700?
What cab/speakers are being used?
What did the amp sound like when you used your Jem?
What speakers?
Trying to decide between the CRS and TS1. I’m a clean tone first kinda player, so it’s mostly is the trade off of reverb worth the second gain channel.
Is it easy to have a clean platform on a CRS then send it into gain and is that gain better than other 2 channel amps?

Otherwise it's a poor financial choice. The sad thing is 95% of all people in the world will make poor financial decisions so have at it.😆
I'd spend 2700 on a head, and 2000 on a cab imo
I'm stuck on this, the Traditional Clean, or going another direction with Amplified Nation's Dirty Wonderland, what would you choose?
Have you looked at the wonderland overdrive v2?
Yes, talked to Taylor, the reverb circuit is a bit different, and I primarily use pedals for OD or distortion.
the light bulb needs to be fixed : )
Capture PLEASE!!!!!!!
can we ehar it with the silver sky ?
Yes ill do a video later next week
Are you getting the drive tones from the without pedals?
Too many options for me!

For the musicians/guitarists I know it would be a case of-'Do the gigs I'm doing justify the price tag?' Players turning up to wedding and pub gigs with these will generally be 'weekend warriors' with good non music jobs. Also difficult in a time when govt restrictions could take out months of gigs overnight.
Did you keep the Two Rock ?
So which amp did you choose for life in the end?
Matchless independence
Nice but not worth all that cash. Seven times the price of the Fender equivalent but not seven times the amp.
expensive as a marketing strategy
Sounds great but for nearly 5 grand it had better sound great and wipe my ass for me. No amp is worth that much.
You don’t address the question the video title says it’s going to answer.
That’s for you to decide not me.
How can a working musician making $100 a night afford this amp ... Geez. Give me an old fender deluxe
There's definitely nothing wrong with a Fender Deluxe.
@@TheStudioRats Yeah there affordable and rock solid amps. Rock history was played through fender amps. I really cant see where someone would want this 2 rock amp. To expensive for the road and a gigging night club weekend warrior. CAn you enlighten me on who would use this amp???? Just a friendly question. THX TSR
@@themayor6836 John Mayer, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales, Josh Smith, Joey Landreth, Ariel Posen (all touring pros) and even Mick Taylor from That Pedal Show who credits his Two Rock amp for tightening up his playing as it hides no mistakes. Two Rock seems to have quite a following.
@@mcmillanalex Most of the players you mentioned were probably given these amps for exposure. Find a night club guy making $100 a night playing one... Wont happen my friend. Just an overpriced amp for rich guys like Bonamassa.
@@themayor6836 I'm sure you're right about most few of the musicians I listed, but for the local Winnipeggers (Joey Landreth and Ariel Posen) I imagine they paid out of their own pockets. Do you think it's more justifiable buying an expensive guitar, like the Gibson Murphy Lab line, rather than an expensive amp? I haven't had an opportunity to try playing through such an expensive amp, but I'm happy with inexpensive guitars that are set up well. The idea of purchasing an artfully aged guitar for around $10K is far crazier to me than buying an amp that is half that price.
Thankfully, 50+ years of music history didn't hold back because they didn't have a $11k guitar amplifier. I can only imagine how embarrassing it must be to say out loud that much spent on a single guitar amplifier. While the Two Rocks all sound fantastic, no amp is worth that much money except to people who are seduced by how much they can spend on gear. Somewhere someone is laughing till they piss themselves at how easy it has become to part wads of cash from folks. No blah blah argument can overrule the laughability factor of that kind of spending behaviour ✌️🎶🎶🤘😄😄😄😄
Wrong player to demo a predominantly clean Two Rock platform.
Without even watching the video - no. Because no amp is. They just exploit guitarist cork sniffing culture.
Thank you for making this. You’re absolutely right: way too many channels that do quick reviews of an amp and don’t explore its potentials.
