The clean channel of the Friedman BE-50 Deluxe is directly inspired by the chime, glassy top end, and full body of the Friedman Buxom Betty amplifier. Not only does it sing with massive headroom and detail, but it brings out the very best in your favorite pedals and effects as well.
Having thorougly enjoyed his sounds, I did a quick Internet search and discovered a video by former studio guitarist Larry Carlton in which he pulled out his ragged old 50s Fender Deluxe and demonstrated the sounds he got with just the amp and an ES-335 on several hit songs. A new feature for Two-Rock, this amplifier adds a Texture switch which changes the feel of the amp from a soft scooped front-end to a faster note attack with an increased amount of harmonic content.

The Vintage Deluxe.
The newest amp in the Two-Rock family is the result of a strong commitment to tradition, an obsession with vintage tone and feel, and a love of modern design. The Vintage Deluxe is a single-channel amplifier built on a steel chassis and features all-tube analog reverb and bias tremolo circuits. A new feature for Two-Rock, this amplifier adds a Texture switch which changes the feel of the amp from a soft scooped front-end to a faster note attack with an increased amount of harmonic content. Another unique feature is the Tone Stack select switch. When engaged via the foot switch or toggle, the tone stack on the front on the amplifier is bypassed and a secondary tone stack with a single Tone control on the back on the amplifier becomes active. This allows you to shape your tone from dark and wooly to a nicely overdriven, organic lead tone.
The Vintage Deluxe will be offered as a 35-watt 2 x 6L6, single GZ34 tube rectified version, or a 40-watt 4 x 6V6 solid state rectified version that is switchable to 20-watts.
Available as a 1 x 12″ combo, or a head paired with either our all new 3 x 10”, or single 15” speaker cabinets. The Vintage Deluxe amp will also pair well with any of our other speaker cabinets.
The Vintage Deluxe gives you that nostalgic feeling from the golden era of tube amplifiers built in the early to mid-sixties, along with all of the performance, trusted reliability, and unique voice that you expect from a Two-Rock.
