Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Two-Rock Exo 15 Watt Amplifier! This amp became an immediate store favorite. When demoed through Two-Rock's Exo 15 speaker cabinet ( which is a 1 x 12" ) we were extremely pleased with what we heard. Two-Rock has successfully built a low watt amp that walks the fine line between killer clean tone AND dangerously dirty tones. While this amp sounds terrific at bedroom levels, it is louder than you would expect from a 15 watt head. This amp is an ideal mate for lower volume home use, smaller gigs and would make a great addition to any recording session. At lower gain settings, there is a great deal of headroom for a 15 watt amp with big fat clean tones. The tone is 3 dimensional and the feel of the amp is very responsive to playing dynamics. Crank the gain up and hold on tight - a stellar Blues Rock tone awaits. At once crunchy and vintage sounding, the overdriven setting rings like a contemporary boutique amp should - its stable and more refined sounding. The Two-Rock Exo 15 draws a line in the sand between low wattage clean and dirty tones and then fearlessly walks on both sides of it.

"How do we deliver legendary Two-Rock cleans with dirty versatility in a streamlined, low wattage package?" That was the challenge faced by Two-Rock designers Bill Krinard and Chad Mangrum. Their defining insight was to start from the outside in. We thus focused long and hard on the amp exoskeleton. We saw that if we gutted the middle and located all the performance elements at the top and bottom of the chassis we could achieve a uniquely streamlined, high performance look, feel and footprint. The result is the EXO 15 6V6, tube rectified, class AB amp. In its sleek, exoskeleton designed all-metal chassis this 15 Watt amp gives you peerless Two-Rock cleans with plenty of dirty versatility. Treble, Mid, and Bass controls allow for classic Two-Rock tone shaping while the Gain and Master controls supply just the right amount of clean to dirty ratios. The Contour control was added for extra global frequency shaping. We added pedals to the front input of the amp for even more versatility. Pre Amp Out and Power Amp In jacks on the rear of the amp give you a passive loop for time based effects. 4, 8,and 16 OHM jacks allow you to connect to the EXO 1x12 speaker cab or any cab of your choice.
Some artists that use Two-Rock amplifiers include John Scofield, John Mayer, Steve Kimock, Eric Gales and Joe Bonammasa. Its hard to argue with tone like that!
