Re: What's your amp history?I like the Two rock amps for a very direct tone. I prefer the custom signature reverb 1 with the presence knob over the CSR 2 with the contour. I dont know why but I do. They do a very good ^ type of tone. Not a lot of lows or highs but great mids that blend well with the Marshall Jubilee. I have two of them and I actually like the European one better. Its a little cleaner. Joe and the guys over there are really nice and helpful. A very honest amp. You hear your good days and you hear your bad days very clearly. The VanWeelden is a bit more true to a Overdrive Special I think. Its rounder and has less gain, although Peter makes this pre amp called a gainland which is so great. Peter's amp is top notch and built like a tank.. You must get the Twinklelator though. The compression that the outboard tube effects loop creates is beautiful and so Robben Ford ish.. The Carol Ann is the same situation a most expertly built Dumble style amp that is does the full saturation with high articulation thing. The main difference between Alan's amp is that he uses EL 34s instead of 6L6s. The Red one with the Eric Johnson tweak is my favorite of the two I have. Its all what you like. The amps that I have described are not cheap but do that thing very well. I will say that "Thing" is not for everybody. Some people prefer less articulation and more compression, some dont like all that midrange that you get. I hope this helps... I will say this. I just played a gig with Robben Ford and he had his Dumble ODS and TC 2290. I also saw him with two reissue twins and he sounded the same. Great!! Save $40,000 on a real Dumble that may or may not be authentic and buy yourself a nice 3 series BMW. Girls will dig the car better than the black box with Vox grille on it.
Just my thoughts
Thanks Joe Bonamassa |
