Two Rock has an assortment of different amps to choose from and this one is on the lower end of the spectrum for combos. 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 amp is the same amp as the black standard but just in a blonde tolex covering. You get all the same great features and tone as the original.

SOUNDS

This amp is basically a Fender clean amp. It get some decent tone but nothing too spectacular. It is chimey and sweet on the high end. The reverb part of the amp is interesting. The feel of the amp is nice but can be a bit tough to play on. It has a send and return controls which is unusual to this amp. I have never seen that on any other amp before. Nothing that that blows anyone away, but the contour is great for switching guitars.


OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these amps for right around $2300 which is a little overpriced if you ask me. They have a good sound but not worth the money that they are asking for this amp. You can get a lot of things for th price of this amp. I think Dr Z and Top Hat come to mind for boutique amps and certainly Fender amps come t mind as well.
