So good! It’s really nice to hear someone demo this gear who can actually get in the ballpark of playing like Mayer. Not trying to throw shade on anyone, but lots of guys have the gear, but when they demo it, they don’t have the FEEL. It’s an invaluable part of the equation, and you got it!
My bro!! Amazing, your playing is as always incredible, nice to see you here on UA-cam too!! The Traditional Clean is also my dream amp, still collecting money for the one! Nice to see how this amp got treated so well by a player like you!🔥
The playing & tone is amazing!! Pure joy. Thank you. I don't have the Two Rock, but I am playing through Bias FX 2 Lite, which they gave away for free. Most importantly, this edition has a Fender, Marshall and... a Two Rock. Spend 99% time on it. Made my perfect preset and this amp matches literally every old/new song and style.
@@JakeLoosemore yeah 😁. I tried almost every modelling software imaginable. Even tried combining completely different VST plug-ins in chain. But Bias FX 2 is one of the most rich, composed and delicious sounding one.
@@JakeLoosemore I came here for an update 😁 2 weeks ago I tried Neural DSP Archetype: Cory Wong plugin and other Neural plugins (there are 14 day free trial). That turned everything upside down for me. I thought Bias FX 2 was 1ft above all plugins I tried. But Neural stuff seems to be another 1ft above everything else. Really sounds like a real amp, has pleasant feedback, rich, fat and versatile tone. One of amps in Cory Wong plugin is said to be a Dumble, so it is great for Mayer tone. And on drive channel it is even close to a Marshall sound, so very versatile. Plus an amazing reverb with shimmer, stereo delay, envelope filter, chorus, wah. Bias has way more amps, and pedals, but the difference in tone... Recommend everyone who is interested to try 😄
After watching you play Edge of Desire, the amp is part of it but your skill is where all the tone is coming from. I've been playing EoD since it came out and I still sound like a beginner.
What a great tone. I'm not even crazy about Mayer, just came to see how blues guitarists stack their pedals but wow. Really nails that Live in LA tone. Superb playing as well. Just to get things clear - the amp is a platform, the Klon is the always on drive, the Tube Screamer is boosting the Klon and the BluesBreaker is the solo bpost right? I've never stacked more than two pedals before.
I’ve been coming back to this video for the past week, and I gotta say that I am obsessed with how accurate the tones are. Ain’t no Sunshine tone was absolutely dead on! Great playing! What speakers were you using? The built-in IRs in the universal audio Ox? Or external impulse responses?
Ahhh man, that means a lot! I was using the Two Rock style cabinet with the G12-65’s in (I can’t remember what it’s called). All of the audio was from the OX!
Great stuff! That’s the Belief intro from the Continuum release show at Webster Hall right? That has been my “tone goal” for years. The TC is the first amp that completely nails it.
My TC should be arriving tomorrow 🙏 I found a 100/50 head in stock from a german company lol. Was going to get a ceriatone JM 100 but I figured the two rock will be worth the extra cash.
At the very end of the repeated part, there's a transition from 7th fret on the D to 7th fret on the G that's supposed to be smooth. I naturally played it with all fingers, and struggled to make that sound smooth. Forced myself to not use my pinky and it solved itself.
@@ama5573 Interesting. My issue would be the exact opposite, I guess because of my small hand (thumb) size, without my pinky, I simply cannot play part of it smoothly because they're having to jump all over the fretboard.
Hey dude! Awesome sound how do u set up the ox? And how do u record? Got a TC aswell but i moved to an apartment so just wonder if the ox will fix that :)
Curious - Did you end up keeping your Suhr Bella? Currently have a Bella myself and am really enjoying playing it, but I've always wondered if the step up to a two-rock would be worth it.
Yep I still have the Bella and gig with it every week. I put an EVM12L in mine a few years back, and although heavy, it really took the amp to the level of the Two Rock’s in my opinion. With that being said they’re still very different amps, and I’m lucky to own all of them!!
which ir are you using for the amp? ive heard a few demos with g12-65 speakers and they compliment two rock amps so well. curious to maybe if youre using them also. i wonder if the two rock speakers are a similar style speaker as well
I think i would have to cut my fingers off and get exact replicas of Mahers fingers and then get a brain transplant. Yes with Maher's brain. Shoot if i was going to go that far, I might go for the Beck special edition brain.
Nice tone. The Traditional Clean is a good amp to get Mayer tones. It's the same circuit as the Two Rock Crystal with different and new transformers. Of course, the best amp to get Mayer tones is the Two Rock Mayer Sig.
Thanks a lot! Songs like ‘Who Did You Think I Was’ required very different settings to most of the other tracks as you can see in the video. But the amp was set almost the same for Belief, Slow Dancing, Edge of Desire and Ain’t No Sunshine, so the main differences there were the pedals!
Hey jake! I saw you from tommy guitars instagram, and I have a question for you, cause although i know about guitars, i'm not really good with amps. Doesn't it impact the sound from the video if you're mic'ing the prs cab instead of the two rock head? (I really have no idea how heads and cabs work btw)
Hey man! A head has no speaker in it so you can’t use it on its own or mic it up, you need a cab to both take the load off of the amp and to produce sound! Hope that helps?
during this quarantine .. all the guitar players is more interesting all about john mayer than before and also this amp is very expensive in my country lol
![Two Rock Traditional Clean - King of Clean Tones [it can do more than John Mayer tones, right?]](/img/n.gif)
Probably the best combination of tone accuracy and feel for JM stuff I've see on UA-cam
Huge compliment! Thank you 🙏
This tone is.. freaking astounding!!!
Wayyy too kind man!
Jake, this tone is outrageous. Excellent work! The playing is also fantastic.
Thanks a lot man!! Really does mean a lot
That Belief intro is the guitar tone equivalent of the nuclear option 🤯 absolutely incredible playing and tone man!
So good! It’s really nice to hear someone demo this gear who can actually get in the ballpark of playing like Mayer. Not trying to throw shade on anyone, but lots of guys have the gear, but when they demo it, they don’t have the FEEL. It’s an invaluable part of the equation, and you got it!
That means a LOT. Thanks man!
My ears like the sound of that reverb :)
Still fuego and I keep coming back to watch it!
Amazing tone and awesome playing man
Ok, great amp and tones and all but KILLER playing. Seriously your attacking those strings so beautifully
Thanks man, means a lot!!
JAKE!!
Welcome to UA-cam man, sounding great, things are looking sharp, just keep at it!
Cheers!
THANKS KRENAR!!
Came here for the rig stayed for the awesome playing. Nice stuff man

Really great playing man, impressive works there!
🙏🙏🙏
That´s THE tone!! Thanks for this!
🙏🙏🙏
After watching you play Edge of Desire, the amp is part of it but your skill is where all the tone is coming from. I've been playing EoD since it came out and I still sound like a beginner.
Ahhh man, thanks a lot! Genuinely appreciate that, the amp definitely helps though!
amazing covers! one of the closest ive heard on the internet 🎸
Wow ! This was amazing ! Keep uploading more such videos.
🙏
great tone, great play. you make me to like to get this amp.
Thanks man!
Great video man!. keep it up!, i had a great time watching it
Dude, your playing and tone are phenomenal.
Subbed.
Thank you so much man!!
Same I watched/listened to him playing and without hesitation I subbed.
Absolutely fantastic. I own a Studio Pro 35 and thinking about a Traditional Clean 50/100.
Very impressive! Thanks for sharing!
that edge of desire tone is making me cry
JAKE!!!!!!!!!!! So glad you're posting again. Such a talented young man. Congrats on the new gear and excellent sound and playing examples as well.
Wayyyy too kind Jason! Thanks a lot man👊🏻
Very nice! Stumbled upon this looking for info on Two Rock Combo traditional clean
You have a Great tone !! And good nuance.🙌
Thank you!!
Another great video on this amp mate. Please make some more! just love hearing you noodling with the strat. Sounds great.
Thanks man! More Mayer😅
Amazing
Majestic Mayer tones mate. You sound superb.
Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate it
Great sound !! :)
What a great tone. I'm not even crazy about Mayer, just came to see how blues guitarists stack their pedals but wow. Really nails that Live in LA tone. Superb playing as well.
Just to get things clear - the amp is a platform, the Klon is the always on drive, the Tube Screamer is boosting the Klon and the BluesBreaker is the solo bpost right? I've never stacked more than two pedals before.

Has anyone hear run a modeling device such as fractal or quad cortex into this amp? Either through the front end or through the fx loop?
Great stuff! That’s the Belief intro from the Continuum release show at Webster Hall right? That has been my “tone goal” for years. The TC is the first amp that completely nails it.
Thank you!! Correct mate (or at least my rough approximation of it), and it definitely nails it!
We have similar technique in playing Edge of Desire. Idk how JM does it with mostly downstrokes!
I don’t either!! 😆
My TC should be arriving tomorrow 🙏 I found a 100/50 head in stock from a german company lol. Was going to get a ceriatone JM 100 but I figured the two rock will be worth the extra cash.
The Two Rock is definitely worth the extra cash. Congrats man!
Can you explain what you’re doing at 5:57 when the camera cuts to the Two Rock? It sounds so cool and unique!
My first though was when did mayer play a blue stratocaster?
Hahahah, thanks man! Wayyy too kind.
Excellent
How people play Edge of Desire without using their 4th finger is mind blowing to me.
At the very end of the repeated part, there's a transition from 7th fret on the D to 7th fret on the G that's supposed to be smooth. I naturally played it with all fingers, and struggled to make that sound smooth. Forced myself to not use my pinky and it solved itself.
@@ama5573 Interesting. My issue would be the exact opposite, I guess because of my small hand (thumb) size, without my pinky, I simply cannot play part of it smoothly because they're having to jump all over the fretboard.
I do have massively long thumbs which helps!!
@@JakeLoosemore I bet it does
Prince Jakey in action again...everything about this is absolutely gorgeous !! So well done !!
Thanks Johan! Appreciate that a lot!
Came for the amp, stay for the playing.
Where could I get that Klon Pedal?
They’re no longer made sadly! Keep an eye out on Reverb!
My end goal.
Great sound. When you bought the amp did add any preset through company or is the amp standard set up, want to know thinking of buying amp thanks
Oh that subtle Klon flex though ❤️
It’s not even real! 😆
@@JakeLoosemore I’m not sure I believe you 🤔🤔🤔
My jaw dropped at that slow dancing tone holy shit
Ah man, that means a lot! Thank you 🙏
But hey that's the amp
John says it's in the hands, so there ya go. You nailed it!
daaayyyummm Jake. Needed some water to put the fire in my speakers out. fire! Belief intro tones were immense
Hahaha, thanks mate! That Belief intro can be darn hard to play to be honest!
This is so inspiring. I’ve been trying to track down a traditional clean FOREVER. Where did you get yours..?
Thanks man, Peach guitars!
your playing is so tasty - tone is killer
do you think you can nail the gilmour tone with the right speakers and this amp?
Thanks man! I absolutely think you could yeah
wow! that tone :'). Do you remember the positions of the knobs on the strat? Thanks!!
Thanks man!! My volume is usually on 7/8, but my tone is wide open.
Two rock SSS or TC for John Mayer tone? I think John Mayer really likes his dumble sss. Btw, nice demo! Thanks.
Honestly it’s hard to say. I do have both now, so I’ll have to make a comparison when I get chance. Cheers!!
@@JakeLoosemore Wow that will be a nice comparison. I’ll wait for it. Thanks a lot!
Thats AWESOME !!!!
Thanks man! It’s an amazing amp!
Awsome video, subscribed so keep posting! i just ordered a Louis Electric Columbia that i hope can do this too!
Thanks man! Will do. Oh awesome, good luck with it!
Sweet playing and wonderful gear!
I have the exact same Strat, it looks 100% identical even the aging! Mine's a CS from 2017. What year is yours?
Appreciate it! Oh wow, mine is from 2016, but that’s very cool to hear!
Think you’ve made me get a TC. How have you recorded all this if you don’t mind me asking??
You won’t regret it man!! It was recorded with a UAD OX!
@@JakeLoosemore what si Your settings on UAD OX ! I love the sound And good play ;-)
This is perfect 🎯
🥺
It’s quite trash tbf
@@Giballi24 🥺
@@Giballi24 lemme see you do better then 🤲
@@laurarus9722 I see now that you know how to make a grown man cry. 😔
Where did you buy yours? Or where would you suggest I buy one?
Some playing that.
Thanks a bunch man! 🙏
cant wait to hear more! are you using UAD ox box for attenuation or recording too? Coz i see you have miced ur cab
Thanks man. I used the OX for all clips besides the Slow Dancing one!
@@JakeLoosemore cant wait to hear a full performance of the songs man. Try bold as love next
Hey dude! Awesome sound how do u set up the ox? And how do u record? Got a TC aswell but i moved to an apartment so just wonder if the ox will fix that :)
It’s super easy to set up actually, and I just record into my interface and then into logic! The OX will definitely help that!
@@JakeLoosemore do u have the 100*/50 or 40/20 head ?
Which pickups on your strat?
Handwound Texas Specials 👊🏻
Lovely dude
Thank you Ryan!!! Hope you’re well dude
Sounds sooo goood how do you record the amp with the ox?
Thanks man! Literally connect it to an audio interface using a SPDIF cable and you’re good to go!
You have a Two Rock?
Do I? Must have missed that?
Curious - Did you end up keeping your Suhr Bella? Currently have a Bella myself and am really enjoying playing it, but I've always wondered if the step up to a two-rock would be worth it.

Hey man - yep I’m pretty sure it was a G12-65!
How loud is this setup?
Not crazy to be honest, especially with the OX!
Which strat is that?
Custom Shop 61 in LPB!
I think 90% of this tone is in your hands. Your playing is incredible!
That’s way too kind of you. Thank you!
@@JakeLoosemore Gotta give credit where it is due 👌🏼
How much editing and processing was done in post? Or was this truly the audio captured on ox and mic?
The only thing that was edited was that I added a stereo reverb to the mono track. Besides that it’s literally just audio from the OX!
Sounds great! Playing definitely helps! Are you using the Boutique D65 2x12 cab in the Ox? What mics and other setting do you have?
That’s exactly what I’m using! I can’t remember which settings, but the mics were a U67 and an SM57
What cab do you use with the TC?
How was this recorded?
edge of desire is on the bridge pickup with low tone i believe, rest is absolutely incredible
Which mic you used in this video?
UAD OX!
I can tell those are an 11 gauge string set, bet you tune to E flat? Nice thick TONE. were you a student of JOhn Cordy's??
Hey man, these are 10’s. Nahhh was never a student of John’s, just a friend!
@@JakeLoosemore Must have been brand new strings then, so bright made me think they were thicker. Your a really GOOD singer too.
I think i would have to cut my fingers off and get exact replicas of Mahers fingers and then get a brain transplant. Yes with Maher's brain. Shoot if i was going to go that far, I might go for the Beck special edition brain.
Nice tone. The Traditional Clean is a good amp to get Mayer tones. It's the same circuit as the Two Rock Crystal with different and new transformers. Of course, the best amp to get Mayer tones is the Two Rock Mayer Sig.
Why do you have the gain so high though?
The amp doesn’t have gain in the way that a 5150 or Marshall does, as it stays clean. I’m using the gain for compression and therefore clean sustain!
This is just too good. How much tinkering did you have to do with the settings between songs or was it more dictated by the pedals?
Thanks a lot! Songs like ‘Who Did You Think I Was’ required very different settings to most of the other tracks as you can see in the video. But the amp was set almost the same for Belief, Slow Dancing, Edge of Desire and Ain’t No Sunshine, so the main differences there were the pedals!
Dammm

Thanks Seán! I used the Dumble/Two Rock style 2x12 for all of these clips!
My guy! Glad you are in the TR Family! Playing makes me uncomfortable in a good way 🙌🏼
Thanks bro, you helped a lot! Not THAT uncomfortable I hope 😆
Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard anything so spot on! Amazing tone man! Is it the 100/50 or 40/20 model?
Thanks man! That’s a huge compliment. This is the 100/50w model
What speakers are you using? Superb playing! Total motivation!
This was recorded with a UAD OX, using the boutique TR style cab. Thanks a lot man!

I’ve been interested for about the last 8 years, but I guess so!😆
definitely doesnt sound bad, but I have a Crystal 100 and have never once managed to sound like John Mayer so Im not sure it's the amp lol
Oh c’monnnnn it’s definitely the amp!! Thanks for watching TCM! 😆
I think I'm done chasing John Mayer tone. I've moved on to Jake Loosemore tone.
