Two-Rock Silver Sterling Signature 150W Head
Two-Rock · amplifier
The Two-Rock Silver Sterling Signature 150W Head is the highest-powered amplifier in the Silver Sterling Signature line, running four 6550 output tubes rather than the 6L6s used in the 100-watt version. The 6550s give it greater output and a firmer, tighter low end, producing an extremely large clean platform that stays articulate and controlled at volumes well beyond what most amplifiers manage. Like the rest of the Signature range it carries Two-Rock's all-tube spring reverb and the dimensional, harmonically detailed voicing the brand is built on. This is a stage amplifier by design rather than a studio one. It suits professional players who need very high clean headroom, particularly for pedal-driven rigs at large venue volume.
