The Two-Rock Studio Signature is the latest generation of our single channel 35 watt amplifiers. Based on the original Studio Pro 35, the new Studio Signature model remains a clean, 6L6 powered solid pedal platform amplifier with several new upgrades that will ensure this amplifier’s continued legacy.
New build techniques, layouts, and materials implemented over the last few years were the key starting points to this amplifier’s new construction. The familiar Bright/Mid/Deep function toggle switches are now included as well as our 3-position Gain Structure switch feature, originally introduced on our Classic Reverb Signature amp, which essentially gives the player the option of three different preamp personalities to choose from. A reverb send control has been added on the rear panel while the reverb return control remains on the front panel.
New aluminum chassis, anodized in silver or black with new silver knobs, a black bronco cab, and a black matrix grill cloth give this amp a stunning new look.INPUT - High impedance input to the amplifier. Plug in your instrument here. GAIN - Adjusts the overall gain of the amplifier. Start with this control in the 12 o’clock position then adjust to taste. This control determines the initial character of your tone, from cleaner/brighter tones at low settings to fatter/warmer tones at higher settings. As you turn this control up it also introduces more gain and bass into the signal path, and reduces the amount of available clean headroom especially when the master volume is set higher. NOTE: The Gain Structure Switch also affects the behavior of this control, see GAIN STRUCTURE below for details.
BRIGHT Switch - Boosts the high frequency response. This is most effective when the Gain control is set at 12 o’clock or lower. This is great for adding sparkle to clean tones. The effect is less dramatic as the Gain control is adjusted past the 12 o’clock position. MID Switch - Boosts the midrange frequency response.
DEEP Switch - Boosts the lower bass frequencies. This low frequency contour switch also shifts the emphasis from the upper bass and low mid frequencies to the lower bass frequencies which helps smooth out and clarify the midrange response.
TREBLE - Adjusts the high frequency response. At lower settings of this control the tone will be warmer and smoother. As you turn this control up the highs become more prominent and aggressive adding gain to the signal as well. This control is very interactive with the Bright switch, Middle control, and Deep switch. In the full counter-clockwise position, high frequencies are bypassed to ground. In the full clockwise position, high frequencies are allowed to pass to the next gain stage.
MIDDLE - Adjusts the midrange response. At low settings of this control the tone will be “scooped” of midrange response, emphasizing the highs and lows. As this control is turned up, the midrange frequencies are increased. This creates the “body” of your guitar’s tone and is very critical to both the tonality, feel and overall response of the amplifier. Higher settings of this control also help your tone to cut through the mix in both a live band situation, and when playing the amp outdoors. In the full clockwise position, mid-range frequencies are allowed to pass to the next gain stag.
BASS - Adjusts the bass response. In the full counter-clockwise position, low frequencies are cut.In addition, the response of the treble and mid-range controls is greatly reduced. It’s easiest to start with this control at noon, then adjust to taste. In the full clockwise position, low frequencies are allowed to pass to the next gain stage.
MASTER - Adjusts the overall output level of the amplifier. At lower settings on this control the amp will be much cleaner sounding as well as lower in volume. As this control is turned up the power section of the amp begins to work harder which increases sustain, fullness, and touch dynamics as well as increasing the volume of the amplifier. At higher settings on this control the power section will be pushed into natural overdrive especially if the Gain control is set higher.
REVERB - This is the reverb return control which mixes the reverb effect signal with the dry signal. At full counterclockwise rotation, the reverb effect is defeated. Using this return control in conjunction with the reverb drive control on the rear panel, a wide range of natural reverb effects can be produced.
PRESENCE - Adjusts the contour of the high-frequency response. Turning this control up gradually increases the intensity of the upper frequencies. This is a subtle control which can be used to either emphasize sparkle and brightness when needed or smooth out your overall tone by turning the control down.
STANDBY - This switch should be in the down/STANDBY position before you place the Power switch to the up/ON position. After 20 seconds or more, place the Standby switch in the “up” position to play the amplifier. When you are taking a break from playing the amp you can leave the amp “powered up” and simply switch to the “stand-by” position to mute the output of the amplifier and prolong power tube life. INDICATOR LAMP - This lamp will illuminate when the rear panel power switch is in the “up” position, indicating the unit is receiving A/C power
