Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
A modern masterclass in touch-sensitive blues-rock tone. John Mayer's sound on Continuum is built on a Stratocaster through a Tube Screamer into a boutique Two Rock amp — essentially the SRV formula updated for the 21st century. The Two Rock provides a sweet, harmonically complex clean tone that responds to every nuance of Mayer's pick dynamics. The Tube Screamer adds a mid-hump boost that pushes the amp into a warm, singing overdrive without obscuring the guitar's natural voice.
