Another reason (of many reasons) I always aim to own the physical media! I also own that DVD but had never realised there was JM’s commentary! I’ll have to check it out.
I own one of those Custom Shop Fender Tone masters for 12 years because of foo fighters. The amp is my favorite sounding amp I’ve ever played. The amp can do a lot depending on how you set it. The unique thing about it is the impedance switch. On the manual the impedance switch is labeled as “high, medium, low” because if you plug the amp into a 16ohm cable the headroom/midrange will vary in a safe manner. I can see how john had the switch set to medium or low and got more breakup and mids out of the amp. Apparently Bruce Zinky liked playing with output sections of the amps he designed at the time. Recommend looking at the pdf manual online for a better explanation.
I bought the Any Given Thursday dvd on ebay for like $7 specifically for the commentary. There’s a cool interview with him the day after the show that’s included too.
LOL man when I saw the thumbnail, I was thinking "what?! John mayer is using one of the new digital fender tonemasters?? no way! " - I didn't have any knowledge of this fender custom shop tonemaster and was shocked because I just played a tonemaster twin in a shop to demo a guitar and it was ABSOLUTE TRASH. It sounded like a muffled practice amp and absolutely nothing like a twin. What a relief hahaha. This tonemaster is a really cool amp and I found one for sale in Australia. Cool!
Life without you, not life by the drop 😉

Thats not unique lol. My 6505 has 3 impedance settings. Its not for “headroom” or breakup.
You should do more on Any Given Thursday!
