Two-Rock · amplifier
The Two-Rock Bloomfield Drive 6L6 100W Head is a two-channel cascading-gain amplifier and, in the company's own description, the most versatile two-channel design it has built. It pairs a large, dimensional Two-Rock clean channel with a cascading overdrive channel that reaches considerably more gain than the single-channel amps in the range, and carries the signature Two-Rock all-tube spring reverb, whose circuit is designed specifically so it does not interfere with the overdrive channel. At 100 watts with 6L6 output tubes it has substantial clean headroom, staying articulate at stage volume. It suits blues, fusion and rock players who want both a serious clean platform and a genuinely high-gain lead channel from one amplifier.
What stands out
“Chosen by players who want more gain than the traditional single-channel Two-Rock designs provide”
— from the community notes
“The recurring caveat is that 100 watts is more headroom than most rooms need, and the 40-watt version covers the same voices at a more usable volume”
