Title: OTS 50w Help!!! Two Rock/John Mayer Mods???? Post by: nudefish11 on February 05, 2012, 12:33:26 PM Hi Guys
Just wondering who here has a OTS 50w? I love it, I am just wondering if there are tips on getting some super smooth overdrive tones? At the moment mine are a little too fat for my liking and I cant seem to tweak it to smoothness.... I am using a Am Strat with D Allen RnB Pick ups!!! Also is there any sort of setting to get a similar two rock type tone? Or how can I mod the amp to sound more like a Two Rock???? Are there schematics or anything like that cause I have found a amp repairer/servicer here in Adelaide Im really loving the amp but there is so much versatility to it that it takes time to tweak and im just wondering if people can give me some of there settings they use....

I think the Bluesmaster clean tone is very close to a TR clean sound!!! As already written with my BM and a 2x10" box I get almost the clean sound of Matt Schofield! John Mayer clean tone is also no problem (EV 12L speaker;-)) I think you can modify your OTs so that you have also a BM clean tone. The BM has a fantastic clean sound!!!! I hope i could help you!

Thanks for your time... Title: Re: OTS 50w Help!!! Two Rock/John Mayer Mods???? Post by: boldaslove6789 on February 05, 2012, 11:19:37 PM During the Contiuum album, Try!, and "Where the Light is" John Mayer was using a Dumble Overdrive special in his rig. He was also using a Stereo Dumbleator II (Dumbleator with Stereo Outputs) in the FX loop.
The Dumble ODS John Mayer used was a 100w HRM with EL34's. (Not a Bluesmaster). I highly suggest getting a Dumbleator before you start modding your amp, even if you don't intend on using Time based FX in the loop. The Dumbleator is a crucial piece of gear in JM's rig that is often overlooked and was a key part of his "Sound" during this period of time. It will give the amp more room to breathe. You can set the amps Master Volumes high and then adjust the overall volume with the Return control on the D-lator. This really makes the amps bandwidth much larger and almost 3D sounding.
