Some pics of the inside of these expensive amps made it on TGP in a truly epic thread.
These things cost like 3-10k?!

Hmm. Looks a bit messy to me!
If you want a Dumble-type amp, get a (superbly built) Ceriatone clone for a bargain price!

Nice sounding amps....but yeah not the neatest..supposed to be low noise though

+1 - From Martin or direct from Nik. I was on the point of getting one before the £ divebombed - they are priced in dollars :(

Lots of tweaks available (on the Ceriatone forum) to get the sound you're after.

I don't know why but massive caps make me grin :lol:

After working with decrepit military equipment, massive caps make me very wary :lol: That ceriatone looks really nice, though

Two Rock amps don't sound that good to begin with.

Here's a picture of the inside of an original Dumble Overdrive Special (Two Rock and Ceriatine ODS are based on Dumble design). Apparently this is Larry Carlton's. The black residue on some of the components is the remains of the 'goop' that Dumble used to cover some of his amps with to discourage copies! Although the wiring doesn't look particularly neat Dumble was apparently fanatical where he placed his wires and components. He always used 'flying' wiring for the valve heaters, unlike the heater wiring tucked into the corner of the chassis in the Two Rock and Ceriatone. Not sure how much was this myth or a load of ****ocks.
Oops - sorry can't use the picture :oops:

I'd want a neater amp with more tlc gone into it for the price Two Rocks fetch. Having said that, I doubt it affects the tone - Two Rock have a great reputation for tone and I know my own experimental chassis looks like shite, but sounds like angels gargling nectar.

Sorry, but if this clip is anything like an accurate representation of how one sounds then you're just plain WRONG.

Yeah, sounds good to me!

god damn thats nice

the clean/breaking up tones on the Two Rock sounded great, wasn't keen on the OD tone but that might just have been the way they had it tuned in.
-
Love the tone on this one:

Better demo of OD tone of the Two Rock by Joe Bonamassa on this one at 2.12.
