I took a chance and went out and purchased a studio pro 22. Best amp purchase I ever made. It sounds that good and is a blank canvas for whatever pedal you want to put in front of it. Absolutely the best amp out there. To my ears, it sounds like a Fender Bassman but with more headroom and more tone tweakage.
I love how honest you guys are about pricing. None of that usual boutique market BS implication of, "Why WOULDN'T you be able to drop six grand on a guitar???" You know it's expensive, you admit it, and you explain why, no nonsense. Like the other 90% of the people watching this video, I'm doing so to live vicariously through you guys, and I really appreciate it:D Keep up the good work!
Another great video as always, gentlemen. Thank you for exposing me to an amp brand that I knew little about. I enjoy your knowledge, playing and all around pleasant demeanor. Salutes from Canada!
@AndertonsMusic Lee, you run the best shop on earth, the staff were great. i got an American standard strat, black with a maple fretboard. my dad bought a new bass as well a fender delux jazz bass natural ash body. the guy in charge showed us around the new area of the shop, is gonna be gret when it's done. i hope to return some time in the future.
@RobChappers I like the longer length videos, gets the full insight of the gear, but if theres one thing that would be good, if you like put things were you click to hear certain sounds at certain times , like 3:99 (example) distorted tone with telecaster, for people that want to hear certain things, and just add them to the description, only if you had the time with the videos you put up :) Ace reviews as always chappers dude!
These amps ,like the boogies are built like tanks giving you decades of trouble free playing , using only the best quality materials. Most of the cheaper mass produced amps swap quality materials to increase the profit margin. Also , you guys are great and I enjoy having a laugh while learning about new products on the market. Keep playing Rob you're a great guitarist.
Rob, it would appear that you are gonna be a future bald guy. Might as well grow that stuff back out one more time while ya still can. Love your vids here guys. Always good fun and great gear. I look forward to each new one ya toss out to the fans. If i ever cross the pond i'm coming to your store to have a deliberate freak out and spend myself silly. Got any free T-shirts?
those amps sound amazing . o and i have been clicking all the adds in your videos Rob like a mad man if you get like an extra 200 bux this month you'll know y lol
I own a HT40 and a Two Rock custom reverb head. I can only say that the Blackstar has a harsh overall sound. Changed everything, speaker/tubes/eq pedals. It's a good amp but really not for clean sounds and some decent rock. It'll do the metal thing really well. I can only say the Two Rock really shines on the clean channel. OD is a little bit pushed but very subtle tone difference to the clean channel. It really rocks and takes pedals amazing! (using 2x12 wgs et60/vet30)
@horsieytube Its the latest 2011 Custom Deluxe Strat from the Fender Custom Shop. They are sensibly priced & have really raised their game over the last 1-2 years. I think this Strat would give a Suhr or an Anderson a run for its money (& it looks amazing too!)
Andertons productions have really come up in the world since this was filmed for one thing!! Any chance of getting some Two Rock amps in the new Andertons lineup and studio?
@Hanzzen101 Wait for the Jet Video - that goes pretty rocky, but I'm not sure a Two Rock would be the right choice for anything heavier than classic rock. It's all about the blues, man!
Questions: Why were all the guitars tuned down a semitone (Open E sounded like Open E flat)? It gives a false impression of the sound of the amps. Did you change the "pickup loading" when you swapped over from the Telecaster to the Les Paul? Sounded like you should have....
@17solstice Anyways, Rob said Schecter = ESP/LTD, so I don't think he'll bother doing both. Also, believe some Schecters (if not all) are made in the same factory as LTD.
Are these amps as good as Soldano..? or are they as good as the Cornford amps or my Carvin Belair twin. I ask this because those are my favorite amps I ever played through and I own the Carvin twin which is a spectacular sounding amp. It's so good you really have to play through one to understand the perfection guitar tone as no video or sound bite can convey it if you know what I mean. I heard people say the Two Rock amps sound heavenly or shockingly good but what does that mean..? I know it means they sound stunning but in what way..? They look like generic almost disco build quality in appearance with the black tolex and white piping but this may just be a part of their shock factor just like the Mesa 2C+ which was a small almost half sized head with the tweed cloth panel which makes you think it was a bluesy come country sounding tamed amp but in fact it was one of the most stunning and wild skull crushing beast from the pits of HELL! I could never afford or even find one of them so I bought the Mesa Triaxis and Mesa 2:90 power amp and with the triaxis having the identical circuit board taken from a 2C+ it sounds exactly the same and is 95% the reason why people bought the Triaxis in the first place...lol. Now everytime I see a picture of the 2C+ it makes me laugh at how they tricked their customers into thinking it was a bluesy mild breakup type amp...lol!!
I wish they stop letting rob demo quality amps.... You dont play distortion on a dam "gear review" distortion almost alway sound the same. Play a fucking banjo on disto and it will sound like a jackson on disto. Just leave the gear review to lee or learn to play without effects and other things than thrash metal...
Thomas Pillitiere think your on the wrong video, this is a demo of two rock amps and they said they were to do a clean tone demo... Two rock is known for their clarity belltone. Then they demo with crazy gain/disto... Im not an idiot for expecting a clean tone demo of a famous clean amp in a video called "two rock demo". Your the one sounding like an idiot for insulting random people for no good reasons.
Thomas Pillitiere see again.. No argument, all insult. I wont argue with you anymore, grow up and answer like a man not a boy then we'll talk. Have a nice day
BACKINGBAND dont get me wrong though, I think rob is a good player and a nice guy but I subbed only for the anderton reviews, i love rob and lee synergy. Anyway it as nothing to do with them, I wanted to see a two rock demo for a purshase and I love these dudes, but I was disapointed with the demo. Lot of talk and then a bit of clean play and a bit of disto. I feel bad about my first comment and apologize to Rob... But I was disapointed with this demo in a time I needed it to be great
so long as you don't start reviewing Line6 Products, you can show me whatever you please. I do like a few more instructional vids in the intermediate level . . . you're the best regardless.
Rob, I just finished watching your video at the "Other" guitar store playing various Matchless amps :-) I sounds like the Matchless will breakup the best compared to Two Rock & Dr. Z amps. Am I correct?
Wow HELP PLZ I am a drummer looking to buy an elec guitar and amp for some fun in my house I have an electro acoustic. Love the clean sound of these amps and I am looking for an amp that will do a nice clean sound. Here comes the problem these amps sound amazing but I have no ware near this kind of money to spend I have about £300 - £350 maybe a little bit more and prob gonna buy and Epiphone les Paul or a Fender HSS any ideas PLZ help thanx
@RobChappers Or maybe just collect some of your footage taken and compile it into a shorter vid that demo's the sound, and if you like what you hear you can come for the full length demo? :)
could you do a review/tutorial on how to setup your guitar when using heavier strings, cause going from the ususal 9's to 10 is easy, but for example its complicated to change to 12's, and worse if you want to figure out how to use 3 plain strings
I read somewhere that Two Rock is coming out with (or have already come out with) 50 and 100 watt versions of the Studio Pro. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I checked out the site, but no info on there.. yet at least.
I took a chance and went out and purchased a studio pro 22. Best amp purchase I ever made. It sounds that good and is a blank canvas for whatever pedal you want to put in front of it. Absolutely the best amp out there. To my ears, it sounds like a Fender Bassman but with more headroom and more tone tweakage.
"The clean tones are so beautiful we need to do them justice"...proceeds onto some gainy semi-shred...
I watch your videos not because Im going to but the product your on about any time soon but because I love watching them
I love how honest you guys are about pricing. None of that usual boutique market BS implication of, "Why WOULDN'T you be able to drop six grand on a guitar???"

Bea's got the funk like! Love the manfro.
That strat is lush too!
Great video guys, thoroughly enjoyed.
Stig obviously puts a lot of effort into these videos. Thanks, mate!
those amps are quite simply perfect sounding...
You really can hear the guitar's quality come through. I can really hear the maple top on that strat!
i kinda wish these vids were a littl eshorter, but nonetheless they are AWESOME. i absolutely love the group jams
This must be the first time I actually like the endless talking. What can I say, I like Britons ;)
A-Mazing video A-Mazing playing ChappersGod !!!!!!!!!!!!:)) love the captain too never stop this!!
Sweet video. Thanks for putting the time and effort into doing these demos \m/
If you like the time factor Rob, definitely check out the strymon pedals!
Or a short rundown of the new Epiphone Les Paul Ultra III? That's one piece of affordable modern technology, imho.
Great vid, as always Chappers!
@AndertonsMusic Lee, you run the best shop on earth, the staff were great. i got an American standard strat, black with a maple fretboard. my dad bought a new bass as well a fender delux jazz bass natural ash body. the guy in charge showed us around the new area of the shop, is gonna be gret when it's done. i hope to return some time in the future.
Munchin' on a BLT, click on UA-cam and there you go- a good wee andirons/chappers vid while I eat my lunch!

I played on one last weekend. Best amp ever!
i cant wait until tommorow, im going to Andertons to get me a stratocaster!
I own a HT40 and a Two Rock custom reverb head. I can only say that the Blackstar has a harsh overall sound. Changed everything, speaker/tubes/eq pedals. It's a good amp but really not for clean sounds and some decent rock. It'll do the metal thing really well.

woah that was such a "full" tone with both amps on
chappers channel for the win all it needs are more flamethrowers
@horsieytube Its the latest 2011 Custom Deluxe Strat from the Fender Custom Shop. They are sensibly priced & have really raised their game over the last 1-2 years. I think this Strat would give a Suhr or an Anderson a run for its money (& it looks amazing too!)
Hell yes... love two rock amps and might I say chappers you are one talented guitar player my friend, cheers!!
@RobChappers I love these long reviews, I look forward to them every day! And I love these amps, I'd kill for the 22. Seriously. Kill.
You played Awesome on that Strat Rob, when i'll be rich this will be my clean amp :D
@MrLaserprint Yaaayy! Hope the guys look after you - let me know what you get.
Please do a demo of the Buckethead signature Les Pauls! (the studio version and the standard one)
Andertons productions have really come up in the world since this was filmed for one thing!! Any chance of getting some Two Rock amps in the new Andertons lineup and studio?
I was watching some of your old PRS vids then some think came too me! where has the bandit gone who lives in your house!! :D
Great review of these awesome amps! You just forgot to mention Mr. Eric Gales!
@Hanzzen101 Wait for the Jet Video - that goes pretty rocky, but I'm not sure a Two Rock would be the right choice for anything heavier than classic rock. It's all about the blues, man!
@thearchangel16 Thanks mate, I appreciate that ;-)

Dude, i'm so into everything you do! It's really inspiring what you do on UA-cam, i'm hell bent on doing the same :)
You're a champ mate!
What song is Rob playing at 10:12 and then the other one at 10:18 ?
Slow dancing in a burning room then wait till tomorrow
they are worth it. Every penny.
I've just put you on pause and went to see the John Mayer Gear tour, OMG 40 guitars and SRV guitar tech.
i was wondering. that blue stratocaster is that a stock model or is it the afro-guy's guitar or capt'n's guitar?

Colonel Gayfur oh yes!!!! very right. I never really heared john mayer playing fucking high gain shit.
Colonel Gayfur Colonel you are completely right. The other guy is the idiot!
@RobChappers .... lika a boss ;)
@RobChappers I wish they were longer, including gag reel xD
You know, I thought the amp sounded kinda "meh" by itself, but put it in a mix and it does sound great. I'm still a Mesa guy, but these are nice.
nice funk!
Damn Chappers, you've been tearing up some Wait Until Tomorrow lately.
so long as you don't start reviewing Line6 Products, you can show me whatever you please. I do like a few more instructional vids in the intermediate level . . . you're the best regardless.
@RobChappers you get a large variety of examples when the review is this long, helps make a decision haha
Please do a review on "Victoria Amps"...mainly the Victoria Golden Melody! Its an amazing amp! You guys Rock!!!
@TenhoMeideia One out of two - but I'm not telling you which!!
@17solstice Andertons dont currently deal with Schecter Guitars, so its unlikely they'll review them any time soon :/
@billmeedog I know. The other guy should've looked it up, but Rob had already addressed the comment personally anyways
go rob! not in the riots though!
@hemmelight fender custom deluxe stratocaster. its a custom shop. they do a review of it.
Rob, I just finished watching your video at the "Other" guitar store playing various Matchless amps :-) I sounds like the Matchless will breakup the best compared to Two Rock & Dr. Z amps. Am I correct?
It seems Two Rock amps give the guitar a lot of free space to breath.
Wish we coul've seen the settings for both the amps!
You must invite Alex Hutchings to do some more playing with you!
Damn, gotta get me one of those,
I think that guy ate Sideshow Bob!
couldn't tell if it was the combo or the head
Wow HELP PLZ I am a drummer looking to buy an elec guitar and amp for some fun in my house I have an electro acoustic. Love the clean sound of these amps and I am looking for an amp that will do a nice clean sound. Here comes the problem these amps sound amazing but I have no ware near this kind of money to spend I have about £300 - £350 maybe a little bit more and prob gonna buy and Epiphone les Paul or a Fender HSS any ideas PLZ help thanx
Nice amps, static sound, not versatile, but always great sound.
Hey my name is Joey Love and I'm a Two Rock Artist... guess I made the J's :-) Nice demo
You both look like babies haha nearly 10 years ago
would the studio pro 22 have the same tonal dynamics as the studio signature?
@RobChappers Or maybe just collect some of your footage taken and compile it into a shorter vid that demo's the sound, and if you like what you hear you can come for the full length demo? :)
John Mayer chops +83!
like a Chappers through a steak haha classic
@helmsdeep48 Thumbs up his comment if you want shorter videos, thumbs up my comment if you like the length ;-)
How about some reviews of affordable gears ???
could you do a review/tutorial on how to setup your guitar when using heavier strings, cause going from the ususal 9's to 10 is easy, but for example its complicated to change to 12's, and worse if you want to figure out how to use 3 plain strings
Which one would you prefer, the Blackstar or the Fender? for mayer/Srv stuff as well as grunge/prog rock. :)
Always use a figurine some place in a video... It just sounds better :)
@CoolKabbage not only that the same guy owns both companies.
@Fkepler2 Cool, thanks!
I guess I missed that video. :)
Blackstar!!!!!!!!!!!!
But to choose between Blackstar and Two Rock? I tried two rock but its to flubby! Id go for Blackstar!
Btw, how much gain can you punch out of these amps? Im not really looking for a heavy-metal-amp, but enough to do a light shred.
08.56 sneaky camera guy.
hows about a review of some gibson explorers?
i want this thing
Nice effect pedals, but what does the amp sound like chaps??
@RobChappers
ADHD is a fickle mistress, but I still usually prefer "content-rich" over "convenient."
@MyCatLovesMetal You can't put a price on great tone.
how come you haven't reviewd any Mad Professor pedals!
are you still endorsed by ESP? i havent seen you play one in a vid in for ever!
I read somewhere that Two Rock is coming out with (or have already come out with) 50 and 100 watt versions of the Studio Pro. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I checked out the site, but no info on there.. yet at least.
Please tell me the exact model name of that strat!
I can't find it ANYWHERE on Fender's site.
You gotta know how an amp reacts to pedals. He also does that anyway throughout the video.
haha it will take a while for me to be able to afford all that .... Donations are of course always welcome!
LOL! Since when did Sideshow Bob get fatter? :p Great playing. I dig it...
@ragrytakr John Mayer - Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and Wait til to tomorrow (Hendrix) John Mayer.
Sideshow Bob needs to lay off the pizza. Kidding....damn nice playing.
haha! Click on "cc" and then click on transcribe audio! See what it thinks your saying :)
