Amp builder REACTS! | Inside a Two Rock Traditional Clean

[@Vintage_375]

Thanks for the upload; haven't seen inside to many Two Rocks.

[@fiddlix]

Keep the Two Rock videos coming. Great stuff for technical and not so technically inclined.

[@TheToneGeek]

Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@melonfarmersounds]

Really great video, thanks a lot! Good to see a confirmation of bass terminals 2 and 3 connected. I wonder if it differs from the JM sig in the treble department, to my ears it seems that the TC has more top end on tap and that the available range of the treble pot is significantly larger when compared to the JM sig.

[@burgezvideos]

Awesome video. Would be curious which preamp tubes and reverb tank they’re using.

[@TheToneGeek]

@@burgezvideos generally it's TAD tubes. You can likely find a chart on their website

[@hermannbjorgvin]

Nice one! Always interesting to see the insides of these. Will definitely copy the input jack grounding being a separate ground in my future builds.

[@Impractical_Engineer]

You keep it up, this is a win for everyone.

[@TheToneGeek]

Thanks!! ⚡

[@ThePandaProcrastinates]

Ooo there is a lot of neat wiring tricks in this amp

[@axeljespersen8307]

Very nice amp - I would love to see a more in-depth circuitry video. Even though I care for the brands of the components what matters the most to me is the circuitry so I would love to see more of that. Keep up the great work you are doing Ryan - both for me and the whole community.

[@TheToneGeek]

Thank you! Always a pleasure seeing your name pop up on my alerts with your thoughtful message

[@ClaudioMartella]

I agree. There s so much contradictory info about this amp and the sig, and whether it is sss, ods (clean channel), or fender based, etc etc. Would love to see a video that actually looks at circuits (this, sig, SSS etc) and kinda closes the discussion.

[@npr-ws9nq]

need to do a silver sterling sig next

[@jeroenkelder1715]

Awesome! Nice amp! The v1 has no coupling cap.. Two rock amps rocks!

[@captainbackfirejr]

Is there anything under the board perhaps?

[@BizzleBotTube]

What a beautiful amp!

[@michaeltuckey7]

Great video, love this content. A deeper dive into the circuitry would be great.

[@leandershah1617]

At this point Ryan, I would love to see you do something different, just as a 'breather' video on your channel. Maybe something like how Mayer uses his 3 amp setup? And why you think THOSE particular amps excel in that area

[@troy_neilson]

Great video. Would be nice to see you do a trace and offer the schematic for sale? Would love to see you do a walk-through of a Classic Reverb Signature. Keep it up, mate!!! I really enjoy your videos.

[@Blaculo]

Nothing earth shattering in this one but I do like the cathode r/k setup all being in one area.

[@npr-ws9nq]

so spill all the beans. how far away is this from the JM sig? layout seems significantly different

[@TheToneGeek]

😎 I need a little more time for research but it'll be worth it

[@texasblues1]

Great vid thanks man! Any idea what Two Rock use as the reverb driver transformer? Trying to source the best reverb driver transformer for a project I'm doing. Cheers!

[@TheToneGeek]

Thanks! Definitely was ClassicTone before and I'm not sure who it is now. It's fairly generic looking.

[@texasblues1]

@@TheToneGeek Thanks so much for the reply. Can you recommend one? Would you share which one you used in your builds? Really appreciate the info.

[@captainbackfirejr]

Dude this is epic! Wow. That dry/wet mix half tho haha.

[@TheLocalDJ]

hey Ryan, not the best place to ask this but I was wondering if you're planning to sell your ATS808 as a standalone pedal? Thanks for your work and the great video!

[@TheToneGeek]

no problem! yes, it's coming after I do a run of the dual overdrive pedal (which includes the ATS808). Still working out the full details. Stay tuned!

[@TheLocalDJ]

@@TheToneGeek Awesome, cant wait to get one!

[@robertbarnes9745]

No comments on the build quality or design execution?

[@TheToneGeek]

I'd say it's a solid build and refined approach to building an amp. I personally didn't trace the amp so I cannot comment much about the actual circuitry however I always learn something from observing other builders. This amp is no exception ⚡

[@nolatone]

I’m surprised to see Alpha pots and several caps that are less expensive than Sprague and F&T.

[@westelaudio943]

Very tidy layout, but why is there wood veneer on the eyelet board?

[@TheToneGeek]

It's just what they do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@russellesimonetta3835]

Could the 15 on that pot denote J taper??

[@TheToneGeek]

Ohhh!! I have not considered that!

[@jasoncheshire6153]

Is this close to any fender you’ve ever seen as far as tone.

[@Spidouz]

Out of curiosity (since you reversed engineer it), do you know what is the overall cost of the components for an amp such the Two-Rock JM (or other similar Two-Rock).

[@TheToneGeek]

Strictly components (chassis, headshell, resistors, capacitors, transformers, tubes) they are $1,200-1500 without a large ordering quantity of components. I cannot say how much the R&D of an amp influences the cost of an amp in the end.

[@Spidouz]

@@TheToneGeek Of course, and it’s without labor, warranty, distribution margins and such, so I’m not judging the final price. I just wonder the BOM difference between let say a Studio Signature (sold in the $3k range) and a Bloomfield (sold in the $6k range).

[@TheToneGeek]

@@Spidouz oh gosh.. I bet there is not much difference to be honest between the two.. transformers and tubes would be the only difference.. assuming they are buying in bulk too, I say the 1,200-1,500 is still applicable
