This might be the best tone I’ve ever heard
It really is bananas. If you like this Joey has another one over at Carter vintage guitars. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Ds52F7mniHGE%26index%3D17%26list%3DRDpQ2agCCaRh0&ved=2ahUKEwjOo9qHwe3rAhURi6wKHe9cC_U4ChCjtAEwBHoECAYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw119QB9gwofA4f9phNqCJ8g
What, through your headphones or computer speaker?
@@sixstringbluesify KRK studio monitors
@@davidmbeitler Well that's nothing close to what you could be hearing.
@@sixstringbluesify I checked out your channel, quite the collection you have there! Wish I could be listening through all those speakers
Good Lord. This guy just oozes tone and taste. I’ve made a living in the past being a first call side man for multiple regional bands so, while I don’t consider myself an incredible player, I do know my way around the instrument and gear. I could practice forever and still not have this much soul in my tone. Joey is just on a level that even the greatest players on Earth struggle to reach. Killer stuff 🤯
I luv slide but i never did not like being limited in open tuning to a chord , i tune standard and like the added ability to use other tones standard tuning offers and we all learned a lot of stuff so its more encompassing and improvising friendly !
He's the right guy to demo that amp.
After 4 years of aggressive Covid-induced gear experiments and GAS tendencies I can confidently say that 6:44 is the best recommendation on gear-tube. I’m done. Wallet is cooked. Thanks Joey!
i just love p90 pickups ,bright ,clear ,full of tone and not at all muddy .
Awesome SOUND!!! You guys are true masters of your craft.
Joey has injected new life in to song writing and guitar playing .
We would agree!!
@@TwoRockAmplifiers Is he playing a 100/50 or a 50 here?
100/50 @@tomfishman
I could listen to joey play all day!!!
Awesome tone and incredible playing!
Saw the brothers landreth in Chicago a few years back. They were really something man. Very soulful singing and playing.
Two-Rock and Joey- what a combo! These guys know what they're doing and their costumer service is unbeatable. And Joey is quickly and firmly becoming one of my biggest influences. Can't wait for the new material.
Cheers, guys
Joey, your playing is just amazing! And the amp tones are pretty nice too! It’s hard to decide if I like these tones or your signature amp better. All great! Thanks to you and two rock for posting all this!
Very nice sound and guitar playing, thanks.
This amp is magic ✨ Joey is amazing.
Great sounds Joey! Super amp. Someday...
Im here just wishing i could fall asleep dreaming about owning this amp while he’s there, recommending i get both to obtain satisfaction...
Love how he plays with his whole body squeezing the tone out!
super vocal amp. nice choice of player to play this thing. it really breathes mid note.
Probably my favorite amp of the lineup! I’d love to pair it with a Classic Reverb Signature because tone...
wow sounds crazy. another slide master.
Best souding amp ever! Magical
That tone, so warm it sounds like vinyl!
Joey's tone and playing are stuning!
One of my favorite players.... such a killer feel ...♫♪
Joey is such a freak player, haha. It's astonishing. #guitargoals, for sure. The amp sounds incredible!
What's not to love about Joey?
Well that's a handsome rig :D
No intention of getting a two rock amp, but just tuned in to listen to Joey Jam!
MAN THE HEAD AND CAB LOOK BEAUTIFUL!! if you turn up to a gig with that you better be able to play well or i can hear the crowd now "YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT ALL THAT MONEY INTO LESSONS!!"" i guess you could just turn it up till you can't hear them!
Really innovative to combine three finger chords with pinky finger slides
saw Joey ring out a Two Rock here in Austin playing with JD Simo. Was it this amp? It was definitely loud and proud. Let's just say I was glad I brought my earplugs.
Love my Crystal 100 and Two Rock 2x12 cabs, btw.
Man I have to get me one of these Bloomfield's. Two Rock if you ever want to loan one out I'm your guy. Glad to see some new stuff on your UA-cam as well.
Just wow.
Is this recorded with room mics or is all the ambiance coming from the amp? Sounds great!
Joey!!!!
Listen with headphones if you can for a real treat!
Someday when I have more money than i can spend i will buy a two rock.
Joey is the most beautiful guitar player I’ve ever heard. Tone, technique, melody, and phrasing comes together like no one else.
Also, I’ve been convinced that I need one of these amps. Would you say there is much difference in the sound of the 20/40 watt head and the 50/100? Did you make any tweaks to compensate for the differences between 6L6 and 6V6? Thanks!
Is this amp loaded with nos tubes
For joey or are these the stock tubes?
@tworockamplifiers is he playing the 100/50 version head OR the plain 50 watt head??? Any difference in the 50 watt amp vs the 100 on 50 watt setting?? - Anybody help
nice what guitar is that??
Is that a royer/shure mic combo? How is the audio recorded for this video
when the boost is engaged on my Bloomfield it seems as though the bass is cut.
It was so sweet I lost my left incisor!
Play Joey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
most powerful slide guitar tone ever
Ridan Andreev I’ll take Derek Trucks and Duane’s slide tone over this any day. Not even close
Two-Rock.....simply the best! Eh, Joey L ain’t bad either😉
sweet & killer tone, except for two items of mention, firstly, Joey is sitting in front of almost $10,000 in amplification, and secondly, this Cat would sound this good if he was runnin' thru a peavey bandit. (it's jokes, guys) Not trying to wind anybody up,,,,, In any case, my modest collection of hand built, hand wired tube amps (6L6s, 6V6s, EL84s, 6971s)(RedPlate, Conrad, Wang, Carvin, Deluxe etc) isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. Oh, and for daily practice & play, it's tube like Katana Artist.
Clifton Torrence He wouldn’t sound as good through a crappy amp. That’s for darn sure! Gear definitely helps give that extra 10%. I would argue that a player wouldn’t play as well without good sounds. Continuum wouldn’t have been as good without the two rock/dumble sound. Just perfect. Tone is not all in the fingers contrary to bad internet quotes. If it was, everyone would be playing through a peavy bandit and save the money. Gear matters. A lot.
Nothing wrong with a Peavey Bandit either! Great workhorse amps.
u are right
Tone is definitely in the fingers, if you can play you sound good, that's why not everybody plays a peavey bandit, but a peavey bandit, if it's still like the solid state one I had in the 80's is the wrong example, should be at least a basic tube amp. The difference is more the feel of certain amps, some inspire you more or less but to the listener the tone will be irrelevant, this guy can play and if he plays this amp or a blues junior or a DrZ or any other basic tube amp does not matter. @@forester057
@@forester057 did you just call the Bandit a crappy amp?
7:47 hahahaah :D
Don't know about everyone else, but that's tone nirvana to me...
NICE LITLE TRUCKESQUE SLIDE PLAYIN THERE BROTHER, GET IT BROTHER, GET IT!!!
Is there anyone out there who wants to sell their Bloomfield 20/40 combo or head?
Well, shoot lol/smh Gotta say, it's nice coming to this video after one with two more "traditional" players clumsily tip-toeing around the word "Dumble," and then get here where Joey's just like, "Uhh, this amp sounds really good, sometimes I use pedals that sound really good, now here's some MUSIC that sounds really good!"... Remember music, gearheads? 🤷🏼♂️
Is that a Suhr Aura with a compensated tail piece?
Landreth was like einstein; he never spoke a sound before the age of six. Then, out of the blue he began carrying on an adult conversation with his parents who fell into shock
WhimpyPatrol is this true?
@@numb41 the genius part is.
Is this the 50/100?
7:33 did derek get that from him or vice versa
He got it from Derek if anything.
Is the Bloomfield drive Two Rock’s highest gain amp?
I don’t think so but it’s best to call a dealer to get their professional opinion.
No, second highest - the TS1 is the highest gain model Two Rock offers but unlike the Bloomfield Drive the TS1 does not have onboard reverb if that is important to you..
feels like listening to 1930s music
What's the guitar his using.Nice!
Custom built replica of a 50's Goldtop built by a small Canadian boutique luthier Sorokin Guitars
Thank You
My Bloomfield Drive must be broken. It doesn't sound anything like this when I play it.
good lord..
when I first saw Brent Mason he had two peavy bandits and a 300$ modded tele painted with car primer.I hear he still sounds pretty good.The jazz great Ray Brown once heard some stupid critics praising his instrument and then set it downandsaid hows it sound now? Well untill the most expensive brands make something more affordableoptions ther is used gear for those of us who work so hard to play with great skill instead of big money there is used gear and reissues. some guy in texas does ok with a fender and a marshall. i asked some jazz guitarist what about his new amp he walked over to it lifted it up then said sounds good.
Sorry, I hope my review doesn't sound too harsh. Please take it as constructive criticism. Very nice and skilful guitar playing, but from a product presentation / demo I would actually expect the focus to be on the possibilities of the amp and how the setting options affect the sound. Playing a slide guitar for minutes on end will probably not fully represent the range of applications of this amp. I would have preferred shorter phrases from the Clean/Crunch/Lead section that were more to the point.
I want one. Anybody selling a Bloomfield ? 40/20 w preferred.
I'm considering selling mine
@@ShahzadKhan-xn5eb I would like to discuss with you.Do you have the Combo Bloomfield 40/20? Why u want to sell?
Shahzad Khan Hi there. I’m the one interested in buying a Bloomfield 20/40 combo or head. Let me know. Thx
Romans Legion
Mr Khan, Did you have second thoughts about selling your Bloomfield? I am still waiting to hear back from you. Please let me know if you have changed your mind.
Thank you,
Romans Legion
@@romanslegion7771
Hi, sorry I missed your message. Do you live in the US?
That sounds amazing!!!! In all fairness.... Joey could plug into a pile of dog poop and it would sound great. But... great video ;-)
🎸 🐕 💩 🎶 🤘🏻
Can you show me how to dial in a pile of dog shit someday ?
Lot of tube trials
This amp sounds almost OK I mean for something produced after 1965 :))))
Me to wife: I’m buying 2 new Two Rock amps! (4 rocks;)
Wife: How much are they?
Me: About €9000
Wife: WTF?! Why?
Me: Joey Landreth told me I need them in my life!
Wife: I’m gonna hunt Joey Landreth down!!!!
Me: Can you take his two rock when you find him???
The Holy Father. Read my comment again mate... I said 2 x two rocks = €9k
I was referring to the Bloomfield drive and the TS1 which would be closer to €10k so no exaggeration. I’m well aware of the prices of two rock amps. I’ve been using them for years.
Does anybody know what p90s those are?
Canaan Lawrence - they are “off label” ThroBak KZ-90’s, wound on a Geo Stevens winder, which was in service throughout the early 50’s at Gibson. I worked with ThroBak for something unique and special for this build. If you youtube search for “KZ LP PAF ThroBak” , Jon talks at length about that winder and the early pickups and all that geekery goodness.
Cheers!
Is there anyway to get another set??? And how much? I am very interested
Canaan Lawrence - Possibly, you’d have to reach out to ThroBak. I make guitars not pickups ;)
Alex Sorokin thanks man! I love your work! Have a great weekend
Canaan Lawrence - NP! Happy to help. And thanks!
It sounds a bit Dumbly through my headphones, but not as huge.
Conor McGregor sure can play! 🤣🤣
That guitar looks just as expensive as the amp and head
It's probably even more expensive haha. I don't think Alex Sorokin has official prices but I have seen one of his guitars for more than $5k on Reverb and considering how far he went with Joey's for the pickups and everything, I'd assume it cost more than that.
If you want to get views from guitar players, just let Joey Landreth play around
I guess it's cheaper than a Dumble, but $6k+ is way out reach for the average player. Great playing though by Joey Landreth.
Stan Esposito these aren’t for average players
Excuse me Mr. Landreth, could you play… shittier, so I can know how it would sound with me playing?
Not really liking its sound, but the amp looks amazing. Great playing btw
one kind of guitarist knows thousands of chords and plays to three people the more common knows three chords and plays to thousands of people
Nice but WAY overpriced amp ..
Not sure what's overpriced about it.
batica Check out the prices musicians in orchestras pay for their instruments ... frightening!
Amp builders have gone off the rails with amp prices . What a joke
dont take out a bank loan on your payed off car to buy some gear because you fell for the retailers lie TONE IS EVERYTHING! those amps and guitars are hard to carry to the FOOD BANK on a city BUS!
Gone are the days when a Fender Twin was all ya needed...Now we need investment banker salaries to afford all this shit...
You don't have to keep up with the Joneses. Find the gear that inspires you
Kyle Smith that’s what I’m using, and a Minstrel, Lightspeed and a Fuzz.
I don’t think he was at his best recording this. Sounds a bit disjointed in parts. Don’t get me wrong, awesome player and tone, just heard him play better. Sorry.
Gary Smith I agree - lacks his usual brilliance
Psssshh. Yall r krazy 🥴
great playing, but demoing an amp through a pedal chain seems totally pointless. and the price absurd for a real working musician.
Joey is one of the most “real working musicians” I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Nobody cares
@@AmiliaCaraMia incorrect.
Hipster and expensive amp. 🙄
So?
