They’re virtually the same amp. Classic is just more power and got more drive potential I feel on its own. Where as the studio sig needs a boost to get that grit
@@keithremedy They have very similar architecture, but the CRS and the Sterling Silver are the only two Two Rocks that have an active EQ. That makes a pretty large difference. Studio Sig has a passive tone stack, so it's a bit more traditional in its flavour.
@@keithremedy Hi Keith, so after having owned a CRS for three years, I bought a Studio Sig, and I can 100% say it’s not a baby CRS. The feel is very different. The CRS has way more bounce and snap and just sounds bigger. The CRS, even though it’s a bigger amp, sounds so much better at low volumes too. I’d say the Studio Sig, to me at least, feels closer to a Studio Pro. Better than a Studio Pro for sure, but it’s not even close to the CRS. Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought they were getting a CRS with less headroom; you're not. You’re getting a more dynamic, more open, greater tweak-ability Studio Pro. Still a big upgrade if you ask me. But if your want a CRS, you’re going to have to pay for it. And you won’t be unhappy; far and away the best clean amp I’ve played.
@@Ganache30 no disappointment, it ‘s always good to hear more feedback. Personally I will be ok with your conclusion, I had a studio pro 35 plus, and it was already perfect for me and for level I’m playing (I know my limitations). Unfortunately I sold it but now I want to buy the studio signature to get again the cleans I loved. I don’t have needs for a CRS, I’m just playing at home, so a CRS would be way overkill for my skill level. The fact we even discuss about it, tend to let me think that the studio sig will already be great on its own, regardless how close it is from the CRS. It has Two-Rock DNA anyway, it’s not like comparing it with a Mesa or Marshall.
I was facing away from the screen when suddenly the guitar sound changed, and improved, I looked around and you were playing the Xotic, proof I made the right choice !!!!
Fantastic demo, and wonderfully tasteful playing right across the board, really shows the flexibility of the amp. I’d love to play “sludgy SRV” like that 😉.
I just recently stumbled upon Peach Guitars in my quest to learn more about Two Rock. You guys have some of the best sounding demos period. Simply amazing tones! Great playing from all, but Jack is off the charts! Would you mind sharing what microphones and other gear you used to capture the sound of this recording? Seriously outstanding, and glorious! Now I just have to decide whether to get a combo, or a head. I would really love the simplicity of a combo for carrying to gigs, but I typically purchase heads so I can have the flexibility of swapping out cabinets if I want to alter the tone a bit. Any advice that might help me make my decision? Thanks so much!
Awesome amp and playing. Thank you for these high quality videos. Would we have the chance to get the same review for the traditional clean? I already own a SP35 and a Bloomfield drive so I am very curious about the TC!
This is a open back, honestly they’re very similar. Closed back is a little more focused bass response where as the open back has a bass that really rings out. Some people may not even notice the difference. Two Rocks output is so much more then other Amps that even the combos sound bigger then most amps that are cabbed.
I have this and highly highly recommend the amp. I'm curious though, why is the presence so low? I've been leaving mine around 12 o'clock and it seems "normal", if that makes any sense. Maybe you can hear the difference in some videos on my channel.
Hey! I hope you’re enjoying that amp! How would you compare this amp to any other blackface style amp in the market like a normal old deluxe reverb? Thanks!
Tigerhunter887 Literally night and day difference. Deluxe Reverbs and Princetons and all that are great amps, sure, but this thing is so much better it’s not even funny. Never look back.
I own this amp, and it's bloody amazing and a big step up from the Studio Pro 35, which I owned as well. It's more dynamic, more open, better tweakable. However, the reverb circuit isn't as good imo.
What makes it a "big step up" over the SP35? It just seems an SP35 repackaged to me. The switches are pull pots on the SP, the presence is the contour control. I dont get what's new?
@@lucasbarnes8035 The feature set hasn't drastically changed but the preamp has been revoiced. It's basically a mini-Classic Reverb Sig. If you play an old SP35 and a new classic reverb you'll notice a pretty big difference. The same could be said for the SP35 and Studio signature. I'm not sure if that constitutes a big step up but I think fans of the brand are much happier with the new offering by comparison. It's more open sounding and the gain structure is a big deal to people who want flexibility in tone.
Bobby B I think it is very open with swirling cleans. More clean harmonics than SP. Different voicing. The three gain structures are like having three different amps too.
I’ve a small h&k tm112 cab which I have upgraded with a Celestion 12” gold speaker. This mainly for house use. How do you think this amp would sound through it? Seriously considering a purchase. Shame you are so damn far away from me to come and try one. :-( I should say I’ll be using the amp with a band and with some boutique pedals. At rehearsals and live I’ll be playing into a 4x12 and use a fender Princeton 68 RI as a stereo pair.
You can’t. It’s the midrange. This is not even close to a CRS. It’s closer in DNA to a Studio Pro. I’ve owned a Studio Pro, a new CRS and the Studio Sig. Traditional Clean is your best bet for Mayer tones.
Am I hearing this wrong or does this sound like a different amp than the SP35? I thought the SP35 sounded pretty soulless and like a TR knockoff, but this sounds like a CRS or something. Or am I just hearing things because I want to? How different is the basic tone of this amp compared to the SP35? Nevermind the sound tweaking etc
How does this one compare to the SP35? Is it worth the upgrade? Especially found the knobs and effects drive extra master knob annoying, not sure the sound's much better?
As I owned the SP35 and now this amp, I may give my opinion. Because they added their custom taper pots, and their new transformers, and added the multiple gain structures, and instead of having pull-push pots, having actual switches, the amp has improved a lot. It's more open, more dynamic, better tweakable. I always found the SP35 a bit difficult to dial in, because of the push-pull pots, and because of the loop level 'master', making things more complicated. Everything influenced each other. This amp is better in the way that it's more straight-forward to dial in. Everything at noon is how I set it. It sounds great just like that. The master on this amp is better as well. I can't decide whether you should get this one, but selling my SP35, which grabs a great amount in the second-hand market, made the decission easy for me.
something about the new studio amps that I dont like. Its like the reverb overcome the note definition. Its distracting. Still favour the older studio pro amps.
Did I hear a little “New Deep” In there?!? Awesome! I’ve been loving my Studio Sig. Its such a great little amp.
Gorgeous! And you guys made it justice with all the different approaches.
Love the channel. Keep it up.
I agree.
I'd love a video that compares this and the CRS! Thanks guys, love your vids!

That sluggy Stevie ray Vaughn stuff? It's great John!!!! I genuinely Love to hear it mate .
Awesome amp and playing.
Thank you for these high quality videos.

I already own a SP35 and a Bloomfield drive so I am very curious about the TC!
Great sounding amp. Really liked the fact that you did various styles.
Man that traditional setting is just killer
Are you playing this through the open back or closed-back 1x12? Thanks! Do you have a personal preference?
This is a open back, honestly they’re very similar. Closed back is a little more focused bass response where as the open back has a bass that really rings out. Some people may not even notice the difference. Two Rocks output is so much more then other Amps that even the combos sound bigger then most amps that are cabbed.
I love the rootsy sound of this amp ,, does it take pedals well ?
weirdly not digging the reverb, but everything else is awesome. gain structure thing is cool
Yes. I have one now and at home settings the reverb is uninspiring.......
What would you say the difference or recommendation is between the stack VS the combo?
I have this and highly highly recommend the amp. I'm curious though, why is the presence so low? I've been leaving mine around 12 o'clock and it seems "normal", if that makes any sense. Maybe you can hear the difference in some videos on my channel.

I returned mine. It’s not a mini CRS, it’s a slightly better version of the Studio Pro. I wish I never sold my CRS.
Who's the slide player guys? Bloody awesome fella

@@PeachGuitars gonzo shitehawk weren't they a 70s experimental psychedelic rock band? ??

Great playing guys. Would love to visit Peach someday....
I have a studio pro 35 and I still want this! Lol.
Greetings !! quick question....how does this amp sound with v30's? its the only cab i have.....i can afford the amp+new cab....thanks in advanced!
Awesome amp. Awesome playing. Is that Stratocaster in the beginning of the video available to buy as well?
It is indeed! bit.ly/3cgSknA
Can you load video with direct recording with load box ?
great playing
are you guys going to be stocking the new Soldano amps?
Al Williams absolutely!
Amp sounds amazing, how loud is it in that room?
LeftHandMan pretty loud but not uncomfortable

I WANT ONE!!!!
Can you get Mayer tones from these?
