The Fender Tone Master Twin is a great sounding amplifier. I had the opportunity to test it out at a gig recently and it sounded great in the live mix. 40 watts was plenty loud but full 85 was epic. In this video, I am playing some original songs with my Fender 52 Reissue Telecaster and pedalboard going into the Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb.

I really like a drummer that unerstands how not to hit hard all the time and let the instruments be heard clearly.
I wish I was in the audience having a beer and listening to your band.
First thing- the band was tight and sounded great!!
The Tone Master delivered on all levels, to me the tone Seemed indistinguishable from its valve predecessor.
I just bought one of these Tone Master (the Super Reverb 4X10) a few weeks ago and i'm shocked by their capabilities. I've played several tubes amps for many years and I'm totally in love with my Tone Master ! On stage it sounds great, and you can go and play with it everywhere, studios, stages, even at home with that crazy attenuator in the back. The sound is always as good as you need ! I'm in a hurry to record with this mojo machine ! Try it, absolutely great ! Thanks Shane for all your stuff on YT
1. The amp sounds great. I'm very impressed.
2. Awesome playing, Shane. I loved that run from 4:50 to 5:00.
3. The band sounds killer. Love the bass player's work. Very tasty.
4. Those lights were ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Thanks, John! Yeah, the lights are horribly distracting.
Great show! That’s the thing with live gigs, valve vs solid state doesn’t really matter anymore.... the crowd certainly can’t tell the difference! The playing is all that matters at this point.
That statement is half true imo. If you have a SS amp playing hard rock/metal and there’s another guitar player with a beastly all valve amp, you’ll find the SS amps can sound thin and small in comparison. But that would depend on the type of amp the other guitarist is playing. I found this to be true in my experience anyway.
But digital and SS amps are making a comeback! I say comeback because people (especially the younger digital amp generation) didn’t live the 90’s where there weee some great Solid State Amps for every style.
For example we had Randall (even Marshall) that made some great Pro level amps for metal/hard rock & Peavey, “especially the late 90’s red stripe Bandit” that has been used in pubs/clubs more than any other SS amp in history. The 112 Red Stripe Bandit is still a great up there with (if not better) these much newer digital/SS amps. The real factor that made solid state suck for many years is “the low quality speakers and components” used, treating them as kids/bedroom toys. Look what Orange has done with the new Super Crush, they went back “old school” using the same high-end components as the Rockerverb.
@@jazznotes3802 Good points, tge Orange SC is a beast
@@jazznotes3802 The only current SS amp that beats the red stripe is the Quilter aviator cub . Red stripe sounds better than the Blues cube imo, at least from Shane’s comparison video that he did
@@stephenhanlin2388 I think the “Red stripe” is still better all round.
That statement isn't true ALl of the time, although a lot of people don't know the difference. But people that love that vintage sound can tell he difference in most situations.
However, with these Tone Master amps, nobody is gonna tell the difference. Idc who you are lol
Chiropractors all over the world have gone into meltdown.
Dude, please post your live jam nights! I could keep them on in the background while I work! Awesome playing.
2nd-ed!
Wow!! I think that’s the main selling point of any piece of gear: does it sound good live with a band? I am convinced these Tone Master amps are a great option to a tube amp even though they are a little pricey for a modeling amp. This just might be the next amp purchase! 😲😮😁 Shane,thank you once again for sharing a great performance and your opinions on this amp! Great chops! Cheers ! 🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾
What Jamal says is what really matters ... a guitar, pedals & amp may sound good in a studio recording or on TH-cam, but when it's used live, then only can you tell if it really delivers what an amp is made to do.
Jonathan L Thanks man!😁 I’m no expert player (only in my head 😄😝😄) but knowing that an amp can perform in a live situation is important to me as an investment. A bonus is that the Tone Master is a light weight amp! I don’t look forward to moving my Marshall Vintage Modern around so I could imagine taking to gigs and back!!😆
@@jamalabdul2009 Don't be worried about the weight of your amp getting in & out of gigs ... the main thing is that you do gigs, so it's a good thing that you're bringing good music to your audience. Just make sure they're all stompin' their feet, snappin' their fingers & slappin' their thighs :)
Jonathan L True!!!
Yeah man on the money, fed up of seeing young guys out with bass heavy and mid scooped tones and simply not cutting the mix at all. Myself use a Blues Cube Artist live no probs being heard in the mix... there is a lot to be said about vintage tones...
The doesn’t only sound good, you’re playing is awesome as well. Great tones
Thank you kindly!
Wow! Not only do you play incredibly awesome, but the sound of the amp is killer. Great tone! I could listen to your band all night!
Thanks, mate. This was at a jam night with a line up I've played gigs with so it went really well :-)
WOW....!!! Excellent musicianship, singing and band performance Shane! The amp sounds great and you, my friend are a talented man indeed! Bravo.
Super fun to see you out with your crew jamming. Loved the vid!
i just placed an order at thomann in Germany. that video comes handy to make me feel good about it. thanks.
I have found my digital fender responds differently to my Princeton reissue, but I first turn the knobs till it sounds right, and after playing for just a minute, I can adjust my playing to the different response. Not too much problem at all. Shane, keep putting up your performances, it’s more fun than specs and comparisons, at least for me. And I can’t swing by and watch, cause I’m halfway around the world!
Really nice to hear you play, sing and front the band. You do all three, well. My question about the gigability of these amps is unquestioned, now. If I didn’t have a (tube) Deluxe Reverb already, this might be my next amp. Some day I might still pick one up. We’ll see. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed using this amplifier out jamming! Let me know what you think of the tones!

The thing about the blues is that we all know the chords and progressions, but if you can make it sound like you own it, and make it feel like it belongs to you in the moment? If you can pull that off? It's magic. You my friend definitely got the mojo. So much in fact, that I forgot this was an amp review video. Good stuff. Cheers!
@@EasyHeat What Jason said. Shane & the band nailed this one.
Your chops were on point mate!!!!! You lose nothing as far as getting your tone from this amp!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it!
Great playing Shane, and the amp sounds killer.
I just got the TM deluxe and I'm really enjoying it. Used it in practice and held up great with a loud drummer.
It actually does sound legit good, I always think it's a good sign when a solid state amp can cut it live even at 40watts. Also, look at those lucky lads getting to share the stage with our YT celeb Shane ;-).
Wow killer tones Shane. Its amazing how you can get a great tone out of every guitar and amp you play. My biggest thing against the tone master amps are the price. $1000USD to me is too expensive for a digital modeling amp. My blues deluxe was only $850. But I will say that it is probably the best modeling amp I have ever heard.
it is way overpriced
It's like they purposely set the price almost as high as the tube counterpart,
to suggest that it's not something inferior to it.
What I find funny is that for like $600, you can get the real thing
@@scottywhittaker287 exactly Im not impressed at all....maybe the lighter weight lol thats it
@@lucaszembrzuski very slick marketing you are correct!!
Damn! That sounded so good. I’ve been considering this amp or a Supro. Haven’t been able to make up my mind yet. The pro to not having to deal with any valves is what’s drawing me more to the Tonmaster Twin. It just sounds so amazing too.
Go for the tone master you won’t regret it
@@jvw82 I actually bought the ToneMaster Twin. Had it for awhile now, and it’s such a great amp.
First of all, GREAT playing all around! Tight and right blues combo. Awesome.
The tone master sounds like, well, a Twin Reverb. And it’s plenty loud! I’m assuming this is one of those push volume from your amps to compete with the drums, and just put vocals in the PA type of gigs. It held up great for that. That said, any situation where everything is miced for a full PA mix, the TM would fair marvelously.
Those lights. Dear God. Whoever installed those should just stop installing A/V gear. Lol. Next time you play this pub take an extra 5 mins to switch them to a solid color and it’ll be much better. I honestly don’t know why those LED cans even include this strobey sound active mode. It never ever looks good. Oh well.
Again, the band sounded great and the TM did its job very well. I’m sold!
Those lights are brutal 😆🤣
Really nice seeing you guys gig. Man I miss watching a live band...
Now this is more like it!! You've come up with the best way to demo amps for us lot, now you've got to do the same with all the other amps you've demoed in the past!! Great stuff, even if the twin doesn't sound exactly like a valve one many people would opt for it knowing it worked well and sounded good in a band situation, I had a red knob twin and I dreaded flights of stairs,
gotta say,,,my word , the intensity of your LIVE playing v"s the gear demos is much better ...the gear demos are great ...but the live playing ...wow ...maybe more reviews in live context ...after all...that is really a desired goal for most players , great plying .
Thanks, Michael. The live stuff when it's cooking is on another motivational level. Sitting at home playing is never as fun for me :-)
@@intheblues for sure...it shows ..great playing shane .
Already own both TM Super and Deluxe, TM BF Twin on its way. I think it will be my gigging amp leaving my TRRI in the studio
Shane your tone was pretty good on my iPhone. You can make any rig sound nice. I think you are one of the few you tuber gear reviewers that play live and incorporate into the videos. Very cool.
Great review Shane, and to echo others, I forgot it was a review toward the end. PLEASE thank your drummer for the Masterclass in Hi-Hat technique... just sublime. One thing I would've loved was to hear *just* what the IR DI feed sounded like in isolation... maybe another time? Given an OX or Torpedo Studio is more than the price of the amp (and a Suhr DI/Loadbox about the price of the Deluxe Reverb) a good (OK... GREAT) feed from one of these things could be worth the price of admission alone!?
Great playing mate, sounded awesome. Those lights sucked at first but realised that soon enough I'd forgotten about them because of the tones and stellar licks. 👍
Thanks Michael! :)
I played the Tone Master Deluxe the other day at GC and compared it to a 68 and 65 reissue deluxe in the same room. Very light weight
Which would you buy if you were so inclined?
1. Great playing. 2. I’d never guess it wasn’t tubez. 3. Thank you for sharing!
wow great playing dude, you are a way better guitar player than I thought you were. I don't know why this doesn't come across in your other videos but again awesome playing sir!
I love my Fender Tone Master easy to carry to gigs
This was the best way demo this amp
Thanks, Leo! :)
Shane ! I’ve always enjoyed your playing....but you were THROWING DOWN on this video 💥👏🏻👍🏻 ....dang! I mean just smokin 👌 wow 😆 .....by the way, I received my Twin Tone Master about a month ago.....and I’m lovin it! ....great video !
Great tone, mine will get here end of this week or Monday-ish. Planning on using my Helix as FX only.
Got mine this past Monday. Playing first gig tonight. Its very loud and harsh in the treble range. Will see how it goes tonight and might swap out some WGS Vintage Americans. happy to add the 4kg extra. I am always on smoother side of tone and under 20kg is still amazing. But at music room level it sounds huge!
Great video, thanks much! I thought I heard Robben Ford throwing in the vocals at 2:58~3:05.
I'm lovin' my Tone Master Twin Blonde...
Thanks for answering the main question I have about ANY digital amp. Good work, as always.
Thanks for the reviews on this amp. I’ve recently bought one of these Tone Master Twin Amps, and I’ve got a gig coming up this Saturday where it will be used live, so hoping the tones and feel are as great with a full band at higher output watts and volume as they’ve been at home with 1 watt at bedroom levels. I don’t think I will be disappointed 😎👍🏻
John Gallagher How was the amp on the gig ?
Sounds great and I get the allure based on the features. What makes me apprehensive about dropping $1k+ is that the inside is basically a laptop in a speaker cabinet. A tube amp is indefinitely repairable. Once the processor on this goes it’s toast.
In my mind the difference between buying a tube version and a ToneMaster parallels that between buying a car and leasing one. The former you buy and it’s yours. Trade it in if you want but you get a long term investment. The latter is great for a while and then you’re starting over.
bright side, for what you're saving on maintenance on tubes you probably could buy another if/when that goes.
Tickled Elmo changing tubes costs about $25 and five minutes once every year or two. It would take a Tone Master lasts 30-40 years to make up the difference. Lasting that long would make it one of the most dependable digital devices I’ve heard of. If so, please disregard this criticism.
@@joemanez5290lol this logic from 3 years ago may have just convinced me to just buy the tube version DR again.
@@mikec3454meanwhile, I now mostly play an HX Stomp into a Line6 PowerCab hehehe.
its amazing, i bought it a month ago for 400€ (almost new), (im a robber), ... it is GREAT...completely silent. I havent playd a tube twin, but i wouldnt be able, because i live in a flat. It could be better sounding then the tube version as some say.. but its a matter of taste and ear in the end. I get that great parachutes tone (coldplay) with mxr microamp and proco rat...
Sounds Great! My back thanks you for helping me decide to pull the trigger, I'm hoping for an atomic fireball in the candy Pack...
Great jam man! And awesome sounding sounding rig! Nice, thick and smooth sounding while still able to cut through the mix! 🤙🏻🎸🎼😎
I'm debating the twin black or the twin blonde having such a hard time finding good videos comparing the two. Andertons did a good one, but still not enough to make a decision. Painful decision.
@Luke I picked up a brand new Hot Rod Deluxe IV Ltd Edition for.. $400 (but had to fix it). $475 total w/parts for an $850 amp. The self-urgency to get the twin blonde is much lower but I was extremely impressed with the one I tried IRL. I like the Tone Masters because of the attenuation knob. Crack the knob on this HRD and the neighbors across town start calling. ;)
Great Vid Shane! Loved the Tones you were getting! I think that Amp is a keeper for sure! You’re right, the lights were a little “Discoy”!! But loved the Jam! Please keep up the Good Work Mate! Cheers from the US!
Amp tones are great. Playing is superb. Thanks for sharing!
Shane, I do enjoy the digital amp that I currently use (Katana 50) but you are so right about the feedback. You can’t get that nice Hendrix/Pete Townshend feedback the way you can on a tube/valve amp. I never put together that it was a digital thing.
Tasteful and exciting playing there, Shane. After a hernia and a ruined back I’ve been looking for a substitute for my 72 Twin, might have to check this out.
It does what you would hope, nails that essential fender tone! Great video 😀
I like the natural feed back from a deluxe reverb and it's still to loud for most clubs on 3 or 4 with the master volume. I did use the reverb channel for channel switching for leads. I used a rack mount reverb / digital delay for slap back and delay.
Shane, some really tasty soloing, and great tones. Excellent video.
The amp sounds great but that was some fine playing as well!
Sounded great !! Great playing as always !! Speedy recovery on the knee surgery shane sir !!
That is one smooth sounding rig Shane! Maybe a little too smooth compared to your DSL but I really like it! You're playing and improv skills are top notch, I enjoy the live jams a lot!
First off you play great and could make any amp sound good! I just got the Deluxe Reverb and still looking for the tone you get! A lot is in the player so I'll struggle on. Thanks!
Hey I recognize that bass player ! I wonder if I should wait until next year to buy this amp ,first year stuff usually has issues but with Fender you never know next year could be worse like the Mustang amps ! :-) Great review and demo as always mate ! :-)
See I'f you can find a fender frontman 212R that looks like the twin reverb and put some eminence legends or something like that in it and have way more amp for little money😉
@@auntjenifer7774 That doesn't fulfill my need of a lightweight amp but,thanks for the suggestion. (15 lbs heavier) :-)
Tasty licks man and the amp sounds really great!!
Loved the video, Shane is a Great player!
Good job Shane... really liked the tones of this amp 👍
How does it sound with a distortion pedal? I'm sold on the clean/OD however on the fence with the distortion. Wait never mind I found your other video testing pedals. Sounds great. Now I need to ditch my Mesa Lonestar 2x12.
The amp sounds great. Guess I'm gonna have to get one of these and get my workout another way.
Nice playing. Sounds great.
Dang! You got some tasty solos bro! Great job!
Great playing and tone!
Shane are you planning to review the Deluxe Tonemaster amp next?
Once I can walk/drive properly again I will head down and borrow one from Sky Music all being well.
Oh yeah! You had knee surgery happy healing!
Shane, Wonderful job. perfect demo...live where the rubber meets the road...not in a bedroom.
tasty playing, great tone!
Good work! Everybody else goes to 3 on the volume and that's no test.
Shane, when are you & the band coming to Perth to perform for us blokes in the west at The Charles Hotel????
The Charles, do they still have Blues nights? Been out of town for a few years!
Wow. Great sounding amp.
Good Jam, Shane!
Sounds great but fire the light guy... Holy crap
Great show, I enjoyed that. Seems like a great amp, I'm playing a Hot Rod Deluxe and thinking about the Twin Tone Master. Do you think The Twin 200 watt version has more clean headroom, so louder without breaking up? My Hot Rod breaks up at about 3-4 on the volume, with a Tele .. so I don;'t use a lot of my drive pedal, play fairly clean mostly. I'm with another electric lead guitar in a band, and a pretty loud drummer.. so it has to keep up without putting a mic in front of it.
Hoping you can share some info on that?
Great playing man!
Your playing was great, the amp sounds terrific, but who in their right mind set those lights like that? If they put that in my face I would insist they change the setting or I wouldn't play.
Great vid !! The sound, esp., is really very good for a simple recording posted on TH-cam. You guys ROCK :-)
And the tones out of that Fender are delicious !
Keep up the great posting, Shane. Thx.
Yes👍
Superb!!
I enjoyed the tone...but...I think your Marshall DSL40CR beat it hands down. Not that I care what brand is which, when I think back to your Marshall live video, that one blew me away. This did not. Anyway keep up the great work. Really only videos I watch.
The Marshall is a great amp. They are both very different tones. This reminds me more of my old Super-Reverb in terms of that classic Fender thing. :-)
I hear Chris Cain at 2:17 ... great playing Shane!!!
Sounded really good.
I'm still a tube amp lover. I dont modulation. It's not natural. Just have to go with what works.
your playing is getting better if thats possible terrific !!
Shane I have the Blues Deluxe like yours. Do I need the Tone Master Twin?
I'm.hlad it pedals well cos I bought a Santa ana 8ver drive for it
That sounds pretty tight man
You guys needed to "ZZ" up and wear dark sunglasses for that gig! Those lights! Did you have 'words' with the lighting person afterwards? Almost annoying as a faulty fluro in a rehearsal room... Great tones in the room..... On that feedback issue, would the newness/stiffness of the speakers have anything to do with the amp being hard to elicit feedback from?
My question is how reliable is this going to be 5 or so years down the track. It’s digital and just like computers they end up having a short shelf life unlike true solid state amps like Peavey Bandits for example. The price Fender is asking for these is way over the top as well. They could have easily thrown in an effects loop but it was all about aesthetics.
Great show call out to shane please get behind a push to get Artist guitars to make the anniversary model brown burst available for left handed players like you and me
A brown burst what sorry?
I feel like this amp only works well with drive pedals because when I use my big muff fuzz I can’t get a good fat tone, I think I might just return it and get a Marshall. ☹️
Jesus can they not turn down the speed and sensitivity of the lighting. Totally ridiculous. Let’s set it to auto pattern 1 with fast speed 🤦🏻♂️
Its either on or off 🤣
Every venue seems to have a guy who thinks the band is just there to support his light show.
I hope you will answer thid Shane.
Would u br able to gig with the deluxe reverb tonmaster? Or do u need the twin to gig? I wanna buy one because of your review. But i cant decide which one!
Hey Shane, how close do you think the Mustang 3 come to the new Tone Master amps? Since I still own a Mustang which has a Twin and Deluxe in it, I’d be curious how how it compares. Thanks
Hey Shane, really curious, do you see this replacing your DSL40CR as your go-to amp? Why or why not?
It's different. If I want the Fender sound this is the best choice (weight mostly). The Marshall won't be going anywhere. :-)
Which do you prefer playing the most, your tele, prs, or Flying V?
nice tone
RIP Valves
I love this amp conceptually speaking - I hope it motivates (if not intimidates) other manufacturers to follow suite and produce versions of their own classic amps. I'm honestly shocked that Korg hasn't done something like this for the AC30 yet. It seems like they could create an all-Nutube AC30 with digital FX and retire the AC30VR. Perhaps Marshall could do the same by giving us a Bluesbreaker-style model? We shall see............
Please review the Tonemaster deluxe reverb.
Beautiful! Do the speakers “push air” about the same as you’re used to? Could definitely hear some nice break up. Well done
This thing is ball-tearingly loud with pedals at 85 watts. :-)
Hi Shane, just came across this video again and when I saw it the first time, I had just got myself one. Just a question occurring now two years down the track, when you played at this gig, did you attenuate the Tonemaster down from full output?
It depends on the room mate. I usually ran it at full when I could or at the second highest power setting pushed a little harder.
