John Mayer Signature Amps - Two Rock vs PRS J-MOD100 

I bet Pete has been waiting for this day, playing Mayer licks for 50minutes without anyone complaining!

"How to sound like John Mayer for under 40 grand"

Peter Honoré, the people's Mayer. 👍🎸 #danishmayer

I once plugged into a Two-Rock JM Sig, and every woman around me left the room visibly pregnant. Needless to say, I am no longer welcome in that maternity ward.

Captain meets John Mayer.

This is without a doubt the best tones I ever heard in this channel.

*"No nut November" has just become more challenging*

Pete you're far too good a player to be so humble about it. If I could play like you I'd walk around with great flashing signs and a wind machine!

I think the thing people need to keep in mind when listening to these two amps is that the JMOD is supposed to sound like an amalgam of JM’s favorite amps in 1. From 2008-2014 he ALWAYS combined the smooth and dark Two Rock Sig with the very stiff and bright Steel String Singer. The combo of those two amps together is what we all know as his live tone between that era. If you listen to the JMOD and think about it incorporating that stiff response and percussive quality of the SSS with the sound of the Two Rock, I think the JMOD is so spot on in combining those two different amps into 1.

I genuinely love how much these two are kids in a candy store with this. Getting all giddy. This is what I subscribed for.

That moment when you realize Peter Honore is your favorite guitar player.

In my opinion, this is the best Pete has ever sounded. And that’s PETE we’re talking about

On the strength of this, the Two-rock is in a class of its own. No question, for me anyway, but each to their own. Either way, the best gear here is Mr P. Honore.

That Two Rock is just something else, and Pete dude, super super nice playing mate.

The noise the Captain makes at 28:23 is historical, love the video!

This is 100% my favorite video so far from Andertons. Danish Pete is so good.. and he's so humble and genuine about his skill level. The Captains expressions are priceless.

Y’all should have Mateus Asato on for a captain meets

Two rock. Hands down. The dynamic range is out of this world.

Maybe the best guitar tones I've ever heard on youtube. Danish Pete is a great, great player. Made my day!

I take it the owner of all this amazing gear is remaining anonymous because he doesn't want his wife finding out the actual value of it all? ;)

The day Captain meets John Mayer is the day we will have victory and world Peace. #gayformayer

I watched this video with a smile on my face throughout it. This tone is one of the most inspiring sound from a guitarist. Incredible video! Thanks a lot! Cheers from Brazil

Lordy lord Pete's song choices of John Mayer. This is the best Pete

I honestly love John Mayer, but I am just as quick to look up and listen to Pete. Superb player and one of my favorite RU-vid personalities. The Captain is also a really smooth player in my opinion and very listenable. I always love to hear the Cap'n jam.

Watching this video in 2019 makes me so happy for you guys! Taking about having not met John “yet” or even joked about him on the show, now it’s a reality! So excited for you guys, keep up the awesome work!

Enjoyed this for two reasons 1) You're not selling this gear and 2) It impressed you both !

If you open a Dumble up you cannot see an awful lot as Alex has covered the circuits up with epoxy (although there's also a bit of a practical reason to do this) it all helps to add to the mystique ! Pete getting fantastic sounds here, really great !! Thanks to the lucky man who owns all that stuff, brilliant video really enjoyed it !

This was exceptionally amazing. My god, I can't keep from going all cross-eyed every time Pete starts playing.

Lol, this morning I was looking at petes insta pic of this rig again and asked myself when the video is coming!! This is awesome guys!!!

I don't know how this video has never been recommended to me by youtube and how it doesn't have millions of views. Thanks so much for giving these amps to pete and the captain.

Awesome sounds guys...I'm also a massive John Mayer fan and love to see you guys testing these amps

Once a week, I come back and watch this video with my good headphones, then next week I'll watch Mick Taylor with the Dumble. Damn, you guys can got the TONE !

Awesome playing Pete. I hope you are in the process of getting yourself a Two-Rock like you said!

The sound from the Two Rock amp almost made me shit my pants..WOW!!.. And Yes, Pete!.. you DO do the playing of John Mayer justice.

Never heard an AB of two amps that both sounded so GOOD! Usually there’s a clear winner with this kinda stuff, but both sounded so damn amazing. DAMN! Great great great playing Pete!

That was pure eargasm on a different level

Awesome!! Perfect timing, I have my Two-Rock amp coming this month ;)

For me, the winner is Two-Rock. Tonally, his best era ever. (Oh, and when he was using a Strat, too).

It's about time to do the "Captain meets Danish Pete"... Com on guys!

Please Kemper up the JMOD and do a blindfold test!!!

oh Pete, that loop around 42mins is beautiful

"Everybody's got a Centaur kicking around the house." Pun intended?

Maaaaaan, Pete, your playing brings me to tears!!! 😱

Holy cow, how could I have missed this one for over a year? Thanks for the amazing comparison. I think I need to watch it several times now to absorb all the details. Both are outstanding amps, and I see how the individual flavour of the amps appeals to different player preferences. To me, the TR started to outshine the PRS towards the end of the video, definitely in the looping part. Even adjusted for volume, the TR seems to be much fuller, and more mellow. Just gorgeous. Would love to own both, but I even count the JMOD to the unobtainium category :)

Amazing job pete!! You're a heckuva player!!

They both sound equally stellar. Thnx andertons for actually doing good useful compare videos. This video was more helpful than PRS own product videos of the jmod

Honestly theee best tones EVER on this channel! Great playing Pete!!

Brilliant!! Thank you gentlemen. That was awesome.

This is so beautiful I almost cried.

The PRS is just amazong, the two rock sounds fantastic, don't get me wrong, but the PRS is just amazing for the John mayer stuff. The only time iit felt like it didn't have "as much" as the two rock was with the loop playing in the background, but I mean... John mMayer ain't got time for loops

One of these or 50 katanas???

Sometimes I think I'm fine with my little Quilter solid state, and then videos like this give me chills from start to finish...

Beautiful tones. Pure calming resonance. Something special there Pete. A lullaby. Tuck me up mate, tuck me up.

Wow this video has some power!!! John just referenced the amp you mentioned on eBay and called out Two Rock on Instagram. Keep posting great videos and keep up the great work :)

I Love the Two-Rock! Great Playing :D !

Well done Pete, nailed it!

That PRS sounds unreal. Closest thing I’ve heard to the sound in my head. Now if only I had the chops to match 🤣

Geeeez... IT is such fun to listen to these awesome gear setups. I am late to the party... 6 years! Better late than never 😢😮😮

Look it's Peter Mayer!

I could listen to that all day...

Tone heaven with Danish Pete, amazing and beautiful!

I have a feeling Danish Pete can get just as much out of those amps as John Mayer. Absolutely killer player.

22:52 The quintessential John Mayer live solo tone. Beautiful.

I come back every week for this video

I get the feeling that Pete could make 100 grand a year busking with that rig - simply beautiful, exquisite.

This rig is just life

Pete, you sounded incredible. You don't need to feel self conscious!

Never felt so elated watching two guys share their feelings about another guy. Endless love 💗

Very nice great job Pete !

Explore avenues in a musical way... legendary stuff.

Fun video! I would love to play on that gear! To cool! Nice job fellas!

Holy crap that Two Rock is amazing. I'm at Aspen on holiday, and there is a Classic Reverb in the D'Angelico store here. I think I'm gonna go play it tomorrow.

Sooo... We're not going to talk about the fallus-like valve glowing in the Two-Rock, are we?

Wow that tone, I want the two rock

Don't forget an equally important piece to the Mayer tone puzzle. The Blk1 Strat. The combination of the scooped pickups into a pair of mid-pushed amps makes for INCREDIBLE tone.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Sounds amazing! My recent recording with a THR10 is somewhat lacking in comparison.😢

Good thing you have fun ... That's not what I call work ... Great sounds Pete!

Didn't he want the gain channel for the Dead & Company tours ? Awesome video, great playing from Pete !

They’re both insane but I love Pete’s playing the man is talented

I've got a two rock crystal 22 and it's by far my favorite amp.

Pete is a monster player! Really amazing to listen and watch him play.

I think you should output a .flac file from your original recordings and upload it so those of us who want, can download and have an eargasm!

10:33 - Captain gets it bang on there. Beginners need more compression to mask the inconsistencies and non-musicality of their picking dynamics, once you are at a high level of competence you can use the dynamic range as a tool to add another dimension to the sound. This is why practice amps are highly compressed and pro's like valve amps and less gain.

Love the color on the strat man.

A lot of that great sound is coming out of Pete's fingers.

The Two Rock sounds like it fills that "deep sea of blankets" tonal range, warmth with clarity. Where the J-MOD just hits you with a percussive "cut" with a harmonic aura.

I like the sound of the Two Rock better

They must be superb amps; they make Danish Pete sound like an immensely gifted, musical and versatile guitar player.

Pete if you would have switched to the middle pickup when trying to play "helpless" you would have nailed the tone! John plays it on his middle pickup when he plays it live. great video!

Dang, Pete... what I’d give for those chops, man... brilliant

Very tasteful playing

I love this review, Pete is such a great player and both amps sound so fucking good! this illuminates my day !!!!!

Radial makes some great utility pedals, like the head switcher. Thank you for the demo. The amp heads both sound great, along with the cabinet. I don't believe you need to spend that much to get a great tone - lots of sub 3K amps sound amazing.

Never seen a better video.

The Two Rock sounds much more open and dynamic. The PRS is more polite. Pete does a great job showing this. The TR responds more to his hands and he wrings awesome tones from it. Back when all the Two Rocks were named after gemstones, a bunch of us got together with a guy who sold them on the side. He also had an early amp called a K&M Custom that was supposed to be a copy of the amp Bill and Joe made cloning Steve Kimock's Dumble. The then head of Guitar Center's west coast guitar department (the guy Robben called when he was looking for a new Les Paul) ordered a modification of one based on my ability to mimic Robben Ford tones with it. He couldn't do it, but he figured if I could, it was in there. He asked for 100W instead of 50 and add reverb. The first 100W Custom Reverb. It didn't have quite the response and available colors as the non-reverb Custom (that was a very special amp). And he flipped it after 6 months or so. Even though it was significantly more responsive than anything he had in the store. He's a solid player but that amp might have been too responsive for him, or responded in uncomfortable ways. Not long after I had the opportunity to play though Robben's backup Dumble. It took more than half my attention just trying to push tone up the wire. Serious work. Pete has great hands but I feel him when he says that it's hard. That experience of Robben's Dumble (along with his playing) really brought home how unique these people's abilities are. Just buying the stuff doesn't do it.

Great video . Watched it about 10 times . I have a hand build ( by myself ) John Mayer blk1 would love danish Pete to play it through those Amps . I definetly wouldn’t do it justice 😂

John was still using the two rocks with a dumble on the born and raised and paradise valley tours in London when I saw him

You guys could really kemper profile iconic amplifiers and make a series out of it lol.

Wow sounds great
