Fender Tone Master Pro owners - are you aware of the Output Mixer and how it works? It's time for a top-to-bottom examination of this extremely useful feature.
I use an iPad on stage and play backing tracks through a USB cable (sounds better than Bluetooth) - another reason to use the mixer for usb other than recording - another great video Doug - Happy playing …
Thank you for this great and straightforward explanation. You've got a new subscriber here! I love my TMP and really enjoy learning all the intracacies of how it works.
I use my TMP in my studio for recording. I send output 1 & 2 to my X32. Output 1 is passed to my DAW and output 2 carries only Bluetooth backing tracks and is not passed to the DAW. My backing tracks normally are made from the DAW in the first place and don't need to be recorded again. This allows me to control levels for the backing track from my iPad and the X32 for live monitoring.
Another Great One Doug! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these in the clear and understanding way that you do. I agree with another post I wish you could dive deeper into the effects especially the delays and reverbs. Again thank you for all you are providing for us! Can't wait for the next one!
Doug, you are doing such a great job on these videos. Every time I see you have a new one out it makes me happy that I have the TMP. Your content and style is so easy to embrace! God bless you brother. I have been trying to get the famous Andy Timmons Halo sound lately, without much luck. I had a pedalboard with the Halo on it. Frankly it is the only thing I miss from my pedalboard. Would you consider doing a video on using effects, especially delays? Thanks.
Thanks! I'm not 100% sure on what the 'retain global eq' means, but I'm guessing that it saves your global eq settings even when you power down. If I remember right, the global eq is there to help you in odd sounding rooms, so it's supposed to be a temporary setting only, and not the same setting night after night.
Hey Doug I really appreciate all of your videos. They're saving me tons of hours! I've had my TMP for 2 days now and everything is great so far. I was wondering if you have ran into this problem yet. I modified a patch, specifically the chicken pickin one and for some reason when I go to add another pedal about 90% of the pedals are greyed out and won't let me choose them. Have you seen that problem before?
Yes, it means there isn't enough memory left to load in those effects. If you use one of the Fender amps with built-in reverb it uses a lot of the processing power.
Thanks for this video - i have tried plugging my mp3 player into the aux socket in the TMP (using right cable of course) and i can hear sound of a backing track thru speaker, plus the guitar sound on top, but only if i use output 1 (with the aux button switched on). This means that if i turn the main volume up or down it affects the volume level of the guitar and the mp3 player at the same time. The only way i can adjust volume level independantly of the guitar is on the mp3 itself. Is it possible to have the mp3 player connected in a way that the output mixer can adjust the mp3 track volume when required, while another slider does just the guitar volume?
Thanks for watching! It all depends on what you have the TMP connected to - an amp, a PA, headphones, etc. If you're using an amp this might not work, but you could turn on AUX in Output 2 (turn it OFF in Output 1), then turn OFF the blue Master for Output 2. Now you could use the Output 2 slider to control your mp3 player volume, as long as you can run a cable from Output 1 *and* run a cable from Output 2 into your amp, FRFR or mixer. The Master Volume Control would only adjust your guitar volume at this point. You would also want to turn off Output 2 in the Output Assign panel in your preset. Let me know if this works for you, as I wasn't able to test it to verify.
@@DougBsDigitalDen Thanks for this - i am using the fender fr10 so only one input. I guess i can just carry on adjusting MP3 player's volume on the actual mp3 player itself, and use the TMP master volume for the overall 'mixed' sound level.
Line - and make sure that the sound tech turns the trim or gain all the way down on that channel (or channels if you're using stereo) and bring it up slowly. The TMP sends out a pretty strong signal if you have the Master Volume knob turned up.
Doug - I'm minded to use the XLR outs for my monitors because in my Line 6 days I found techs kept sending phantom down the XLR lines and it was safer to just put the jack outs into their DI boxes. Do we know what happens to the very expensive TMP if a soundman sends phantom to its XLR outs?
Thomas - I seem to recall that they said that the TMP wouldn't get damaged by phantom power, but I can't remember where they said it. Still, better safe than sorry. Good point about phantom power 👍
