Love the Two-Rock tone but don't play for 20,000 people every night? Or maybe you're looking for a great studio amp? In either situation, the Jet is right for you. The Jet has been specifically designed to produce killer Two-Rock tone at a lower volume than any other amps in the line.
It can produce 20 watts through 2 6v6's or 35 watts through 2 6L6's. The Jet has a Custom Reverb Type circuit, but is more basic in features. It does not include the deep, mid and bright switches, the EQ1, EQ2 switch or a channel switch on the chassis. Instead, it offers the basic EQ settings of bass, mid & treble and it is closer to the EQ2 in voicing. Channel switching and tone stack bypass are handled through the footswitch. Same great CR Artist serial effects loop, and same all tube spring reverb.
The Jet is available in either a 1x12 combo, available with your choice of TR12-65 or the new TR12-65R speaker, or as a stand alone head (black or blonde only) for use with a separate cab. The Jet combo comes in a blonde or black cabinet with a Two-Rock grill badge.

I have had my Two Rock Jet Head & 1x12 Signature Cab for 6 months now and i am stoked with everything to do with this amp. This small and compact
amp covers a wide spectrum of sounds from some of the most transparent and full bodied cleans through to that raunchy blues breakup and right through
to full out driven rock and lead tones to boot.rnI am quite amaized at the clarity of the second gain stage. Plenty of gain on tap which i wasn't
expecting but along with the gain comes the ability to still hear each note played. A lot of boutique amps i have owned have either had amazing clean
sounds or incredible gain sounds but have never before now found an amp that does it all well. The Jet is a powerhouse in a small box. Tone Tone Tone

I've been gigging a Jet for over a year, and consider it to be the ultimate club amp. My setup is 2 6V6 tubes, with the head sitting on a (converted
to) vertical TR 1x12 cab.rnrnSorry guys, but the TR65 didn't rock my world, so I swapped in a Jensen P12N AlNiCo speaker. This is an Italian made
reissue, but nicely played in. rnrnThe tone is absolutely fantastic at appropriate small club levels, and the Jet provides enough tone control to go
from sparkling cleans to rocking overdrive without the use of any pedals.rnrnBoth the small head and cab are extremely light and portable - I use a
THD gig bag for the head and it fits like a glove! Highly recommended!rnrnThe small reverb tank on the Jet sounds great - the reverb is tight and well
controlled - again, perfect for club work. I've often thought about upgrading to a Signature model, but honestly, the tone is already so great I can't
justify the extra cash.rnrnI also play this amp through a TR 2x12 cab with Celestion Gold speakers. The difference is that the Celestions are not as
bright and punchy as the Jensen, but when driven, the Golds rock! If you're a jazz or pop player, the sparkling cleans of the Jensen would be better,
but if you're a rocker, this amp with Celestion Golds is incredible.rnrnThe Jet is a lightweight, dependable, easily transportable tone machine with
enough volume for all but the largest outdoor venues. Even then, it will most certainly be mic'd and fed into a monitor, so do not avoid the amp for
want of power. As I wrote above, mine is now running 2 6V6 tubes and I don't run out of headroom.rnrnThis is an incredible amp for the working
musician who carries his own gear and who will not settle for anything bet the best in tone.rnrnGlenn Turner
