With design genius Bill Krinard back in the Two-Rock fold, fans of the boutique amp builder were on tenterhooks to see what the renewed partnership would produce – and they weren’t disappointed.
In many ways, the Classic Reverb Signature saw Two-Rock return to what made it one of the kings of the modern boutique boom – making stunning and immaculately built big-bottle tone machines inspired by Alexander Dumble’s near-mythical creations. With exceptional sonics, a wide gain range and outstanding touch dynamics, the Classic Reverb Signature is worth every penny of its top-end price.
We said “It’s undoubtedly one for the discerning and well-heeled player, but the Classic Reverb Signature is the sort of amplifier that could be a real game-changer”.
