My first impressions upon plugging in the Two Stones and tweaking the knobs was that it was too small.

Unbelievable! The Two Stones features two channels, a clean channel and an overdrive channel.

I decided that these were amps for the best of the best, not for rag tag hippie wanna beesįast forward to 2021 and this rag tag hippie wanna bee can now purchase a Two Rock amp in a micro pedal for under $80. The tone was so impressive, but once I inquired to find out more about these amps the price tag ($5,000 +) basically made me forget about them. But I digress.Īnyway, the point I was trying to make is that, at these shows I started seeing these Two Rock amplifiers. If you have’t had a chance to check these guys out, go to and give them a spin, there are many soundboard recordings available to choose from. All backing Kimock in what I would argue was his creative prime. That band was absolutely the BEST! You had Bobby Vega (sly stone) on bass, Ray White (Zappa) on vocals/guitar, and the extremely talented Alan Hertz (Garaj Mahal) on drums. To this day, these are some of the best shows of music that I have ever seen/heard in my life. Frankly, I’ve always wanted to play a Two Rock amplifier, ever since my days living in San Francisco in the late 90s and early 2000s, frequently going to see Kimock play with KVHW at scattered spots around the Bay Area, including the Great American Music Hall in the city and the Last Day Saloon in Mill Valley. The Donner Verb Square is a micro reverb pedal that lets you choose between a wide array of verbs for any application and the Baby Bomb is another Mooer creation that powers your speakers with 30 watts of solid state power. The Two Stones is a micro preamp from Mooer that replicates the tones of a Two Rock Coral amplifier. In this review we will examine the question, is it possible to create a viable guitar rig that essentially fits in your pockets? That’s right, without the need for the speaker cabinet, today’s three pedals under review can all fit in your pockets. Deep down we seemed to be wired with an inherent lust for size. Cell phones have actually progressively gotten bigger, as have televisions and cars. Even given today’s technological advances, smaller hasn’t necessarily won over the hearts and minds of the new generation. There is just something about the aesthetic of them that tells my brain, “no, it can’t be true, these can’t possibly sound very good, they are just too small.” It’s probably because I spent my formative years growing up during the 1980s, when bigger was better, large was in charge and louder was more best. Personally, I’ve never been too much of a fan of “micro” pedals. Mooer Two Stones Preamp > Donner Verb Square Reverb > Mooer Baby Bomb (Micro Power Amp) > JBL K120
