Published on 10/29/11 at 14:29Two Rock is an amplifier company that builds high end quality amps that has been featured by many of today's professional artist's. The have a proven track record of quality and workmanship. These amps are not amps that are at your local Guitar Center or Sam Ash. These amps are extremely expensive and hard to find. They have have an assortment of different amps to choose from and this one is on the lower end of the spectrum.
This amp is a 22 watt single channel amp that hold the studio name because of the small wattage. It doesn't have a line out of a speaker simulation as many other studio amps feature so my only guess is that it is called studio because it is 22 watts. This combo is the same tone as the head but just in a combo unit. You get a nice little compact combo for recording or gigging.

SOUNDS
This amp is about the same equivalent as a Twin reverb and is three times the price. The one of this amp is a clean Fender like amp. It is chimey and sweet on the high end. The gain barely does anything. It gets the tubes to overdrive a little bit for country or mild rock music. Nothing that that blows anyone away. The reverb part of the amp is interesting. It has a send and return controls which is unusual to this amp. I have never seen that on any other amp before. In addition the contour control knob is very cool for switching guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in right at around $2299, sort of expensive for a single channel clean amp. IT does sound good but not worth this kind of money. I wouldn't recommend his mp to anyone other than someone with a load of money to spend. Nothing that any decent classic Fender amp cannot do as far as tone wise. I would save about $1300 and get a Fender Twin Reverb
