I'm looking at a few Two Rock amps right now and I am thinking of getting either a 100 watt Bi Onyx or a 50 watt Akoya. I currently play a 100 watt John Mayer Sig-based amp with more gain that I love but I'm looking for something that is a little more versatile as far as clean and dirty capabilities go. I'm a single channel amp guy for sure and want any channel switcher to be able to clean up with picking dynamics and my volume knob but I want to be able to go from thick, slightly breaking cleans to Warren Haynes kind of smooth overdrive with a Fendery feel. I play humbuckers most of the time.
The Bi Onyx seems to be able to get the most gain and I like having the flexibility of both channels being separate but it seems that the two channels are very different, one being very clean and one being much more dirty and aggressive. I like to keep a smooth Fendery base tone all the time.
The Akoya seems great as far as cleans go and I love every feature especially the tremolo, but I can't tell if it will get that smooth, Dumble-y overdrive. It's supposed to be like a Super Reverb kind of thing and I own and love a BF Super but that's not what I'm looking for in this amp. I'm looking for a similar feel but thicker.
