Fender these are truly incredible not only have you saved people from future back problems but I hope that you'll consider putting built-in attenuation on all of your other amplifier ranges. It just makes sense to me we all know gigs are getting quieter and even a 15 watt amp for a house is horrendously loud for those that want legendary fender tone in a house or an apartment. I understand that purists might get mad but I really think all manufacturers should have built in attenuators on any of their amps that don't have a dedicated master volume and even then some of these higher power amps are still too loud for home or apartment use. If people want a hot rod deluxe or anything even louder for a house or an apartment they have to buy a separate attenuator and those cost a fortune. These sound so close to the original well done!
@@egetamay6599 I'm aware of that I'm stating that they need to consider putting them on their other amp ranges the blues Junior the hot rod deluxe the whole gambit.gigs are getting quieter and quieter and there's no need for musicians for the most part to crank even 15 watt tube amps to their maximum anymore.
@@TheShatteredlamp12 . I desagree because SS or digital amps are so close to the sound of tube or valve amps nowadays that without attenuators built in in tube amps, people will start buying more ss amps or digital amps without busting people's eardrums in a place, this will decrease the sales of tube amps more sooner than later, plus they are way lighter than tube amps as well etc.
I am impressed! So close in sound to an actual tube amp plus the classic Fender tube amp look. And at half the weight, heat and maintenance.....win, win count me in! After 35 years of carrying heavy tube amps, huge speaker cabinets and other band gear across parking lots, up and down stairs etc. it is now exactly as my Doctor predicted 30 years ago. I now have a bad back and bad knees. So the new Fender 'Tone Master' amps are a dream come true!
Probably one of the most important amplifier developments in the last 15 year! Congrats to Rick and team! Kudos to Fender for this tech, I am getting one!
Moreover I love that you guys are demonstrating the product yourselves it means that you're standing by your products. That's how you do it. If I hadn't just bought a Princeton you'd have my money on these without question. Truly well done.
I have been researching this amp for awhile. It’s 4/2023 and I bought the Blonde/Oxblood version and this amp is amazing. My only concern is that I hope it is durable enough to last years and years. I will say, It’s making my Supersonic 22 a little Jealous. Thanks fender, another home run!
Friends, romans,...countrymen....lend me your ears! At 8:45 this Saturday morning I received my new “Fender Twin Tone Master” ! Fed Ex NEVER gets here before 2:00 pm ....but today is MY day ! I hear a knock....look on my porch and Lo...there’s a BIG BOX ! Suddenly I break into a cold sweat 😰 ....just thinking about lifting it....but wait I remember something that was said....ha ha....let’s just see ....HA HA ! I break into a full throated rendition of the hallelujah chorus ! I basically carry it into the house with one hand !......we’ll, almost ! Amazing ! Now, we’re inside.....my cold sweat becomes hot flashes....out of the box she comes....almost on her own power....smells GOOD .....like fresh solid pine....and behold....it’s true ! Perfectly packed and undamaged....it’s SO BEAUTIFUL ! No, really ! I head to the guitar room and grab an American Fender Strat......because it’s only right that I do so ! Everybody nod your heads up and down.....thank you! I set the dials intuitively.....just like the good ole days....and “VOILA” ......I heard the bells at the pearly gates ! Glory be💥🎶 ...a tear welled up in my eye....the tone is bouncy, buoyant....pfat and fabulous! Perky....sparkly and perfect 👌.....better than I thought possible. Suddenly every classic riff I tested, fully evoked the fame and fortune and feelings of the cherished riffage ! It’s has just enough compression....like tubes, slightly puffy but defined....I cannot find a bad setting or a weak characteristic.....unbelievable 👏🏻🎉. I’m SO freakin happy 😃....by the way, I tested it right away with other famous iconic guitars.....the amps glory continues to shine brightly! I have a gig coming up....now I’m pumped beyond measure! To all interested.....Fender has knocked it outa the park on this one ....believe me. To the guys at Fender.....thank you for your boldness...and believing it was possible...and sticking to the plan....WELL DONE ✅
@justin, yes....I am. I’m going to say, that for me and my needs.....this is the PERFECT 👌 amp. My appreciation for this beauty has not diminished.....on the contrary.....it has deepened. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be buying the Deluxe also....and I’ll be looking for them to put out the Princeton next....🤗👏🏻
This amp sounds great! When people discuss if this amp sounds digital or not, they tend to point out really, REALLY small details, that doesn’t seem convincing to them. That’s fine, but do remember that once you mic an amp and once it gets send to the sound guy or the producer (depending on where you are) you won’t be able to hear those small details anymore, and when people are talking in the venue and when the whole band is playing, this amp will absolutely sound EXACTLY like a twin reverb, and no one in their right mind would notice that you’re not playing an “original” twin. Plus the XLR out is a great way to have even more control over your own sound, since different mics and different mic placement, can seriously mess up your sound, especielly if you’re using SM57’s. Not having to worry about mic placement is also a godsend for me when I’m recording, since i can go back and redo parts, without having to worry about the room, the mics or the mic placement. But if you prefer carrying a much heavier amp and dealing with mic placement, mic choice, faulty tubes, humming, not being able to record at home easily, tinnitus from crancking your amp, repairs, warming up your amp and breaking in your speakers for that extra 0,1% that only you are going to notice, then more power to you!
Dynamics and feel. That is what a tube amp has that cannot be replicated digitally. It was only a matter of time before the sound of a tube amp was properly replicated. And although it sounds fantastic, they just can’t digitally replicate how how vacuum tubes react. See, we love tube amps because of its dynamics. When the amp is at its sweet spot (aka edge of breakup)…. Your tone is in your fingers. Play soft and the amp is clean. Dig in and play harder, the amp distorts. Immediately back off and play soft. The amp cleans up. Yes the Tone Master distorts when the amp volume is turned up, but they had to roll off their guitar volume to get a clean signal again because the amp cannot mimimic how tubes work.
This is a phenomenal amp, sweeter than my blues junior, much better with pedals than my hot rod (not that I don't love both of those amps), but this is my go to going forward. I can't believe the tone to weight ratio.
With pedals You can’t push the amp into breakup. Even with my stock Strat on the 2 & 4 positions, it gets funky. There is a solution, though. Run the amp below breakup. With the Twin, you can do this(why I recommend anyone interested, buy the twin), in any situation. Other than that, the amp is a keeper. The future of amps! Can’t wait for further developments
They should do a new one each year, but they should also ask squier to make amps as well because i have nowhere near enough money for anything from fender but i own 2 squiers ive collected over the past 5 years
Christopher Mayer I'm newbie on guitar. I have question what difference deluxe reverb ( 1 speaker) & twin reverb (2 speaker). It's just about that? Twin reverb is more loud with the same sound/tone or what difference?
@@adityarifqi5286 Wattage and headroom (headroom means the ability to turn up the amp before distorting the tone, making a high headroom amp ideal as a pedal platform amp). The deluxe will break up (distort)sooner than the Twin. They are different amps and you should go and try both out if you can find a store that has both. While I really enjoyed the Deluxe and almost went for it, I picked the Twin because of the higher wattage and more headroom.
Hi Fender - A (tube equivalent of 40 watt) Princeton Reverb style cab is something a lot of us players would love; a single channel blackface AB763 circuit that's 19" wide rather than 24". There's plenty of wonderful all tube boutique versions of this concept by Rick Hayes, Lil Dawg, etc., that sound AMAZING, and fulfill all the headroom requirements for most all stage applications. A Tone Master version of that would be like 15 or 16 lbs. Put the same Jensen neo 12" in it. Pls consider.
Welp now I own the twin and the deluxe. I should have watched this video when I got the twin a few years back. I didn't realize when you cranked it you could get it to breakupI would always have it on 4 or 5 .That is why I just bought the deluxe because the twin was too clean.. My bad.. Everybody is sleeping right now so I will have to wait until tomorrow to try it...
I think the amp is great. I think the difference in price from Fenders other modeling/solid state amps to this new price point, may as well get a valve amp.
Great amp, and I'm strongly considering buying one. If you'd just install attenuators on all of your amps then I'd buy ALL of your amps. Standard Twin Reverb and Blues Jr. with built in powers attenuators that went down to 1 watt..... I'd have 2 of each
They cost almost as much as a real twin did just a few years ago. Then I looked at real twins and they have went up 500 dollars too! So they made a mass produced digital amp for way less money and put the tube price on it and then cranked the tube prices up 500 bucks. What a world we live in now. Good news is you can find mint condition twins for 600-800 bucks used. At least here in the south you can. Paid 600 for mine in perfect condition.
@@JaffaRoad I had a twin reverb for many years and never had to do anything to it. But to be fair it never left the house either. I certainly understand the issues a gigging musician can have when they carry a tube amp around everywhere and it gets banged around.
Wow, I didn't know Heston Blumenthal was a guitarist. Going by his cooking videos, I would bet it takes him a 4 days and a 72 step process to write his perfect 12 bar blues.
You want to turn a Tone Master into a Super Tone Master...? Put the Fender MTG Tube Distortion Pedal in front of it. It gives it that warm-tube feeling & sound that fills the room just like tube amps do. Very low gain / high volume settings to keep it clean. Up the gain lower the volume to get tube break up / dirty / distortion. HIgh mids if you want that sound. It is basically now your pre-amp, a tube one. Fender should make this pedal mandatory with each amp, it is THAT good of a combination. I did it to the Twin, and I assume it would have same affect to the Deluxe. On top of that I bought both Black and Twin to compare, and ended up swapping the speakers. So it now has 1 British Celestion and 1 American Jensen speaker because I am a picky dumb ass who couldn't decide which one to keep. By accident I discovered that this is an amazing combination that HAS to be HEARD to be believed. With the pedal it is like a Boutique amp turning this into a Super Super Tone Master that can play any style you want with tube realism, yet with digital control for various volumes you want to play at ---The big TM advantage in first place Problem with swap: Now I have 2. Sweetwater is very open with returns as they agreed to let me return one after testing both, but obviously I cant return a modded amp. For Sale: 1 Amazing Super Super Tone Master Twin Reverb -- Austin Texas.
So I could potentially run the ribbon mic cab sim in to my interface while also putting an actual SM57 in front of the amp and blend the two? That’s basically the legendary SM57/R-121 combo without having to actually buy an R-121. Killer!
Love all Fender products . Own a Bassman Tweed and several Teles. I really wish they played a humbucker guitar through this thing. Maybe a LP and a 335.
what does this amp sound like at Volume 1? What's the difference between Volume 1 and Volume 2? Also, what's the difference between Volume at full wattage and the lowest volume. This is something that a lot of people would like to hear because many folks have to buy attentuators for different amps. I know this has a built in attenuator so it would nice if you could focus on that more so folks could see the differences in that.
This should be a great amp for steel. There are several good reviews and a few videos where people are using this amp for steel and love it. I’m considering getting one to replace my old Peavey Nashville 400 because I need to run direct and the weight savings would be awesome. I have the Princeton at home for a practice/studio and have the deluxe version for playing gigs on guitar and love them.
Hey y’all....a follow up to my last post......today I set up for our gig tomorrow and got to do a sound check in the room. Twas my first time with the new Tone Master Twin out of the house....our little Suarez’ will be about 100 folks....so get a picture in your mind, excellent acoustics....3 piece band (my favorite setting)...dialed in for sound check and found that the perfect setting for the power attenuator on the amp was the five watt setting....amazing ! Plenty of headroom...tons of clear, tight bottom end, and the customary Twin glory in the upper ranges ! Freakin perfectomundo 👌🎶 ! My pedalboard is tidy with 2 overdrives that I stack for leads, a EP booster, chorus and delay. The Tonemaster receives pedals with open arms of welcome ! Totally open and smooth. Bouncy and responsive ! Tomorrow we throw down, I can hardly wait ! It’s gonna be a fun gig....I’ll write a follow up after the gig 🤗🎸
I got one and was blown away.. sounds amazing, truly. A smile was my initial reaction. Buuuuut...yes, a hairy “but”: it pops from time to time...a digital kind of pop. It is very distracting and will be returned if problem does not get resolved. Anybody else have this problem?
The tube based amps seems to be classic and well respected. What's the value or benefit of a digital version? Why wouldn't the buyer want a tube based amp more than these newer digital ones?
The weight of the digital amps are less than half of the tube versions and the maintanance of the digital amps would be basically non-existant. The XLR out is just icing on the cake. If I were touring or even just gigging regularly, I wouldn't worry about a digital amp being effected by temp or simply being moved around a lot. If these reasons make a difference to the buyer, then this is a great choice to have. :)
okay. whilst I like the idea that this is a digital and lighter recreation.. my Iridium can hold 9 emulations for a third of the cost. And I can swap IRs if the stock ones aren't to my liking. 🤷🏽♂️
OK, so next maybe a 68 Classic Reissue Twin and Deluxe? I like the Bassman classic channel, but so far my amps flub out when I do any Chet or jazz stuff....mini humbucker on a Nashville Tele, not just one....I like this idea.
I really like and still play thru an old Cyber Twin SE and foot controller that I purchased new when they 1st came out; matter of fact bought a 2nd one w/foot controller while they were still available. Well it looks like I may need to check this one out also.
Purchased one about a month ago, in the basement on a low volume setting, sounded almost identical to my twin reverb, the twin was a little deeper, but it was very close, playing with the band and turning up the volume, it was a completely different sounding amp, did not care for it at all, it also gave off some weird signal and sound, we couldent figure it out at first, but we got it, when you strummed a chord after the strum it would give out feedback thru some of the mic's, we did fix it by moving the mic's and turning them in a diff. direction, did not like it, returned it this week.
I'm sold on the concept but before I buy one I need to know how they will hold up to real gig abuse. I've seen too many thin PCB boards with components that are cramped too tightly together with other components that generate heat. Thin PCB boards that break/disconnect circuit paths and open up poor solder joints. Those PCB's are made of something way cheaper than F4 and stink like cyanide when you have to solder repair on them. So let's see another video with these amps being kicked off a stage, thrown into a back of van, dropped off the back of a box truck, tumbling down a staircase, and have a gorilla fart on it along with other such abuses. Then afterwards have a tech look it over and get the amp back in working order with only common tools that an average tech would have on the road. Show me how thick those PCB's are and what these amps can really endure on the road then you will have me as a buyer.
Call me a cynic, having heard this all before from Fender and bought a number of their SS amps from 1987 onwards. The Tonemaster will never retain value like a valve amp, and from my experience it'll be full of IC dodgy capacitors, and flimsy PCB boards. Perfect for boomers who don't want to carry a heavy amp, don't mind paying stupid money, and don't care about resale.
@@jordangraf673 It matters a lot, because of preamp coloration. All amps have some amount of it, no matter the technology used (tube, solid-state, digital). You can bypass this coloration with an effects loop, which is very appreciated with modulation, delay and reverb pedals, as well as with external preamps and amp-modelling devices.
How about your engineers put a 3 axis accelerometer in reverb? Its digital. My phone has an accelerometer. Program it so when you kick the amp, its like a reverb tank. Fender, feel free to send me a prototype so I can check it out.
Hi, let's say i wan to buy this amp, but i often want to use my stereo effects after the recording output, to play wet/dry/wet, and play/record silently, can i use normal xlr/jack adapter between the amp and my stereo delay and reverb pedals or there will be some levels/buzz problems?
I had one of Fender's high tech G-Dec amps and it was lots of fun to dial in and out sound choices... until the circuitry crapped out and nobody could fix it... So, I got a couple years and then... nothing. What will this $800.00 amp do...?
I am getting a buzz/fiss when i play on the lower strings of my guitar from my Deluxe tone master. thought it was the speaker but ran the direct out to my scarlet focusrite interface and its there. cables are all good, tried two different guitars. its there. i reached out to fender with a general question but couldn't find a link for technical issues. i don't think this is software but i want to hear from Fender before i update the firmware as a remedy. Anyone else have this issue. i can't use it to record with this buzz/fiss.
Tried this amp a couple days ago in one of music shops here in Australia and i hated the digital sound of reverb. The more reverb the more i did not like it. So i said no to this amp. Also i did not like that ply light yellow wood colour. Why they did not paint it in black so it does not look cheap amp?
You're right, I've never heard a Twin cranked up before - and it sounds FANTASTIC! I'm extremely impressed with this amp - great job Fender!

Oh Im sorry, I didn't realize that. Well in that case you are very right.
It doesn't make good business sense to put an attenuator in every amp because it'll stop people buying multiple amps

How about this one: Tone Master '59 Bassman with 4x10" speakers, built in tremolo, reverb, USB recording and all the other necessary nitty gritty
Hearing loads about this amp and it seems to be all good.
I had a 70s silver face twin and It wouldn't break up on its own. Even gigging I used a butler audio tube driver to get drive.
Def need a Blues Deluxe and Jr Version!
I just got the Deluxe, and I think these things are legit
@LJ TRAXX I still really like it, and it's my main amp.
I'll wait for the Tweed Tone Master
Now you're talking
And smaller versions for ultimate portability! Maybe a Princeton or a Champ.
Or a Brownface (with Harmonic Tremolo) Tone Master 😍😍
Both of you guy fantastic playing together
I’ve got this on order. Love the light weight. Hopes it does what they claim.

Good news is you can find mint condition twins for 600-800 bucks used. At least here in the south you can. Paid 600 for mine in perfect condition.
Its not just about dollars - it is also about maintenance and weight.....
@@JaffaRoad I had a twin reverb for many years and never had to do anything to it. But to be fair it never left the house either. I certainly understand the issues a gigging musician can have when they carry a tube amp around everywhere and it gets banged around.
Wow, I didn't know Heston Blumenthal was a guitarist.
Going by his cooking videos, I would bet it takes him a 4 days and a 72 step process to write his perfect 12 bar blues.
Can you guys pls do a reissue of the original tone master head and cab
You want to turn a Tone Master into a Super Tone Master...?
Put the Fender MTG Tube Distortion Pedal in front of it.
It gives it that warm-tube feeling & sound that fills the room just like tube amps do.
Very low gain / high volume settings to keep it clean.
Up the gain lower the volume to get tube break up / dirty / distortion.
HIgh mids if you want that sound.
It is basically now your pre-amp, a tube one.
Fender should make this pedal mandatory with each amp, it is THAT good of a combination.
I did it to the Twin, and I assume it would have same affect to the Deluxe.
On top of that I bought both Black and Twin to compare, and ended up swapping the speakers.
So it now has 1 British Celestion and 1 American Jensen speaker because I am a picky dumb ass who couldn't decide which one to keep. By accident I discovered that this is an amazing combination that HAS to be HEARD to be believed. With the pedal it is like a Boutique amp turning this into a Super Super Tone Master that can play any style you want with tube realism, yet with digital control for various volumes you want to play at ---The big TM advantage in first place
Problem with swap: Now I have 2.
Sweetwater is very open with returns as they agreed to let me return one after testing both, but obviously I cant return a modded amp.
For Sale: 1 Amazing Super Super Tone Master Twin Reverb -- Austin Texas.
So I could potentially run the ribbon mic cab sim in to my interface while also putting an actual SM57 in front of the amp and blend the two? That’s basically the legendary SM57/R-121 combo without having to actually buy an R-121. Killer!
And hard pan each so you get some nice stereo
Love all Fender products . Own a Bassman Tweed and several Teles. I really wish they played a humbucker guitar through this thing. Maybe a LP and a 335.
Unfortunately, they are Fender guys and won't use Gibson guitars...
He did demo the humbucker on the strat for a bit.
forget he amp, that turquoise strat is beautiful
I want one!
what does this amp sound like at Volume 1? What's the difference between Volume 1 and Volume 2? Also, what's the difference between Volume at full wattage and the lowest volume. This is something that a lot of people would like to hear because many folks have to buy attentuators for different amps. I know this has a built in attenuator so it would nice if you could focus on that more so folks could see the differences in that.
How does this amp react to the Mid Boost EC Stratocaster ?
Tone Master Super Reverb please!
Got one, Awesome!!
Does it stand out in the mix instead of get lost in the mix?
I hate the "break up" sound. I have my multi effect pedal board for any type of distortion. I love a loud, pristine and clean sound and tone.
Ew gross
@toddwilson9311 exactly. The break up tone is gross.
Which Fender Amp is suitable for Steel guitar ?
please help by advise.
This should be a great amp for steel. There are several good reviews and a few videos where people are using this amp for steel and love it. I’m considering getting one to replace my old Peavey Nashville 400 because I need to run direct and the weight savings would be awesome. I have the Princeton at home for a practice/studio and have the deluxe version for playing gigs on guitar and love them.
I'm intrigued, I build tube amps and there so heavy, if this can break up like a tube amp, I'm going to try it out. The reverb sounds really good
It is.I checked one out the other day.You will be amazed at the spring emulation..
This is the amp I've been waiting for!
Gosh darn u guys sounds dam good
My first good amp was a ‘65 reissue Twin Reverb Amp. Loved it! #muffafuzza
Send all repairs to FMIC ,Scottsdale, Az.
The only thing I won't like is I won't be able to mod it like a hand wired tube amp.
#learntocode
Yep, exactly and you can't replace the reverb tank for a much better reverb. The reverb in these are SO bad! NOT a musical reverb at all.
Love the lighter weight
Does the second imput mean you can plug another guitar into it?
Hey y’all....a follow up to my last post......today I set up for our gig tomorrow and got to do a sound check in the room. Twas my first time with the new Tone Master Twin out of the house....our little Suarez’ will be about 100 folks....so get a picture in your mind, excellent acoustics....3 piece band (my favorite setting)...dialed in for sound check and found that the perfect setting for the power attenuator on the amp was the five watt setting....amazing ! Plenty of headroom...tons of clear, tight bottom end, and the customary Twin glory in the upper ranges ! Freakin perfectomundo 👌🎶 ! My pedalboard is tidy with 2 overdrives that I stack for leads, a EP booster, chorus and delay. The Tonemaster receives pedals with open arms of welcome ! Totally open and smooth. Bouncy and responsive ! Tomorrow we throw down, I can hardly wait ! It’s gonna be a fun gig....I’ll write a follow up after the gig 🤗🎸
is the tremolo fx stereo? (since the amp has two speakers)
I got one and was blown away.. sounds amazing, truly. A smile was my initial reaction. Buuuuut...yes, a hairy “but”: it pops from time to time...a digital kind of pop. It is very distracting and will be returned if problem does not get resolved. Anybody else have this problem?
You probably got a defective amp, it happens sometimes too.
I didn't know Shawn Michaels played guitar!
The tube based amps seems to be classic and well respected. What's the value or benefit of a digital version? Why wouldn't the buyer want a tube based amp more than these newer digital ones?
The weight of the digital amps are less than half of the tube versions and the maintanance of the digital amps would be basically non-existant. The XLR out is just icing on the cake. If I were touring or even just gigging regularly, I wouldn't worry about a digital amp being effected by temp or simply being moved around a lot. If these reasons make a difference to the buyer, then this is a great choice to have. :)
Got a tone master twin reverb. I keep hearing a digital “pop”...such a shame. I really liked it. It’s going back.
You probably got a defective one bro.
okay. whilst I like the idea that this is a digital and lighter recreation.. my Iridium can hold 9 emulations for a third of the cost. And I can swap IRs if the stock ones aren't to my liking. 🤷🏽♂️
Does this amp take pedals well? Would it be a good amp for jazz fusion type stuff?
Curious if you could pair it with a Wurly, Clav or Rhodes ?
Yes! Im also wondering as a keyboard player.
a decibel meter display when showing the attenuation would have been good...
OK, so next maybe a 68 Classic Reissue Twin and Deluxe? I like the Bassman classic channel, but so far my amps flub out when I do any Chet or jazz stuff....mini humbucker on a Nashville Tele, not just one....I like this idea.
Could you guys do a blues deluxe?...
I really like and still play thru an old Cyber Twin SE and foot controller that I purchased new when they 1st came out; matter of fact bought a 2nd one w/foot controller while they were still available. Well it looks like I may need to check this one out also.
Purchased one about a month ago, in the basement on a low volume setting, sounded almost identical to my twin reverb,
the twin was a little deeper, but it was very close, playing with the band and turning up the volume, it was a completely
different sounding amp, did not care for it at all, it also gave off some weird signal and sound, we couldent figure it out
at first, but we got it, when you strummed a chord after the strum it would give out feedback thru some of the mic's, we did
fix it by moving the mic's and turning them in a diff. direction, did not like it, returned it this week.
you mean “timbre master”
it’s companies like fender that should be teaching its players correct music terminology
Would the Tone Master sound any different / better if swapped with original C12K speakers ?
Thanks,
How it take pedal like ds2 ? You know i want to know if i could play nirvana without problem :)
Nirvana Cover I use the EQD palisades AND IT SOUNDS GREAT!
Didnt we all hate the TR that had a master vol? so what is different here?
Fender Twin Reverb for clean tones. That's all.
I'm sold on the concept but before I buy one I need to know how they will hold up to real gig abuse. I've seen too many thin PCB boards with components that are cramped too tightly together with other components that generate heat. Thin PCB boards that break/disconnect circuit paths and open up poor solder joints. Those PCB's are made of something way cheaper than F4 and stink like cyanide when you have to solder repair on them. So let's see another video with these amps being kicked off a stage, thrown into a back of van, dropped off the back of a box truck, tumbling down a staircase, and have a gorilla fart on it along with other such abuses. Then afterwards have a tech look it over and get the amp back in working order with only common tools that an average tech would have on the road. Show me how thick those PCB's are and what these amps can really endure on the road then you will have me as a buyer.
I agree 100%, and I am far less knowledgeable on amps than you....
Roland JC-120? Those are sturdy amps, they've been around for a while and traveled with, and have a reputation for being durable.
@@christiansharpe5420 nice amp but can we just say," ship's anchor?".
I hadn't thought of that, but you make a very good point! What good would it be to love the amp but have it crap out on you at the drop of a hat?
cause tube amps never crap out? :-)
Hye the master tone delux is the reverb surfie sounding like good spring sound
This is tubę amp? With all Modern stuff like loading IRs and I dont know what else
A SURF GREEN STRAT WHERE CAN I GET ONE
I believe it’s an American Performer HSS strat.
I've seen some. Look at reverb.com.
Call me a cynic, having heard this all before from Fender and bought a number of their SS amps from 1987 onwards.
The Tonemaster will never retain value like a valve amp, and from my experience it'll be full of IC dodgy capacitors, and flimsy PCB boards. Perfect for boomers who don't want to carry a heavy amp, don't mind paying stupid money, and don't care about resale.
Save your back, save the world lol.
Nice amps
We need a Tone Master Twin in a bedroom size!
Fender made a big mistake by omitting an effects loop in those amps. Maybe v2 will have one.
Does an effects loop matter much in a digital or solid state amp? Seems like it wouldn't affect tone as much as on a tube amp.
@@jordangraf673 It matters a lot, because of preamp coloration. All amps have some amount of it, no matter the technology used (tube, solid-state, digital). You can bypass this coloration with an effects loop, which is very appreciated with modulation, delay and reverb pedals, as well as with external preamps and amp-modelling devices.
How about your engineers put a 3 axis accelerometer in reverb? Its digital. My phone has an accelerometer. Program it so when you kick the amp, its like a reverb tank. Fender, feel free to send me a prototype so I can check it out.
Hi, let's say i wan to buy this amp, but i often want to use my stereo effects after the recording output,
to play wet/dry/wet, and play/record silently, can i use normal xlr/jack adapter between the amp and my stereo delay
and reverb pedals or there will be some levels/buzz problems?
you need a custom built XLR-Stereo-PL Y CABLE for that specific purpose. I guess you can find a place that builds those kinds of cables for you.
I had one of Fender's high tech G-Dec amps and it was lots of fun to dial in and out sound choices... until the circuitry crapped out and nobody could fix it... So, I got a couple years and then... nothing.
What will this $800.00 amp do...?
Would’ve been great with two XLRs outputs:) other than that great!
what strat is that?
American Performer Stratocaster® HSS
How’d this cope with a vintage Fender Rhodes piano?
Damn I was thinking the same thing......nice!
just get a HX Stomp pedal, it simulates fender amps and many others perfectly.
I am getting a buzz/fiss when i play on the lower strings of my guitar from my Deluxe tone master. thought it was the speaker but ran the direct out to my scarlet focusrite interface and its there. cables are all good, tried two different guitars. its there. i reached out to fender with a general question but couldn't find a link for technical issues. i don't think this is software but i want to hear from Fender before i update the firmware as a remedy. Anyone else have this issue. i can't use it to record with this buzz/fiss.
Try a different power outlet.
Similar issue with one of my amps.
Dirty power outlets.
Tried this amp a couple days ago in one of music shops here in Australia and i hated the digital sound of reverb. The more reverb the more i did not like it. So i said no to this amp. Also i did not like that ply light yellow wood colour. Why they did not paint it in black so it does not look cheap amp?
I like this amp but it doesn’t sound that good with my ehx Russian big muff, I think I’m gonna try a op amp big muff with it and see how it goes
I actually like a Rat cranked into the fuzz zone for SS amps.
The end of tube amps coming soon.
