Two-Rock's Eli Lester walks us through the Studio Overdrive, a compact 35-watt amp with two 6L6s featuring cascading gain stages, independent master controls, component-to-component front-end layout, Tone Stack Bypass EQ, and tube-buffered effects loop—shipping in a new lightweight open-back pine 1x12 cabinet. Guitarist Corey Congilio is on hand to crank it up for a demo.
Studio Overdrive
The Studio Overdrive is a compact Two-Rock platform designed for players who want immediacy, control, and expressive gain in a more focused format.
Built around a fast, responsive power section, the Studio Overdrive delivers a wide dynamic range that remains articulate at lower volumes while still feeling authoritative and dimensional. The clean channel is open and immediate, with a firm low end and clear top that tracks pick attack and guitar volume with ease.
The cascading overdrive channel is tuned for clarity and definition, allowing individual notes to remain distinct as gain increases. A newly designed Tone Stack Bypass EQ introduces an alternate voicing that tightens the response and brings the midrange forward, offering a more direct, connected character for lead work.
