Two-Rock Burnside 6L6 28W 1x12 Combo
Two-Rock · amplifier
The Two-Rock Burnside is the company's take on the wide panel tweed circuit, combining the dynamics and touch sensitivity of a vintage tweed amplifier with the clarity and build standards of a modern Two-Rock. In its 28-watt 6L6 1x12 combo form it is one of the smaller amps in the range, reaching tweed-style breakup at a volume that works in a room rather than only on a stage. Where a vintage tweed compresses and blurs as it is pushed, the Burnside keeps note definition, which is the modern half of the design. It responds strongly to pick attack and guitar volume, cleaning up when rolled back. It suits blues, roots and classic rock players who want tweed feel without vintage-amp compromises.
