I have been getting that tone with a Strat, Super Reverb, Fulldrive2 (or some other TS9 based OD pedal) and a vibe pedal long before John Mayer became famous. You can get a similar tone with the OTS but it took me a while to get it down. There are a lot of switch positions and knob settings on the OTS and they have to be adjusted significantly to match up right with different guitars and pick ups, etc. Nevertheless, it sounds great. Remember, it is John Mayer not his gear that makes his great tone. To really appreciate the refined sound of his Two Rocks you would have to be in the same room with them.
absolutely! i have no dubt about it!! i already have a ts9, a marshall BB2 and i'm saving money for a fulldrive2 (i even love stef burns!)...i'm trying to get gear to be as soon as possible to his sound, as i know it comes out from his hands!
this is the reason why i asked for an help in choicing a cab: who better than people who already got an OT can help me in this?!
what kind of difference you heard about H30 and 65?
