Fender Tone Master Shootout and Extra Fun 

Definitely the twin. Having two speakers really helps moving the air They’re all great though. I recently got the twin and it’s the last amplifier I’ll ever need.

Super reverb! great ampli for me.💣💪💯great video my friend👍🎸🙋‍♂️🇮🇹

That’s a beautiful sight seeing all three of them in the same room. I’m so glad you got to review all of them, cause I was wandering what the tonal differences were between them. I love the Twin. It’s just such a great amp, & I’m amazed at how good of a job Fender did with all the ToneMaster amps. I bet playing through all three at the same time is awesome. Thanks for the review Dave. Hope you’re doing great!

The Cleans on the Super Reverb are top notch. They just had that extra bit of goodness.

You have totally revamped my approach to amp EQ. Less is better for Dynamics. Appreciate it from Alabama and keep up the good work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would hate and love to be Dave's neighbour, in probably equal measure 😂 And just on a personal note Dave, it was wonderful to hear you say you value your life. After the blackness a couple years back it made me smile to hear it

i legit dreamt you made this video last night lmfao, AMAZINGGGG tones, i really want a super reverb tone master so so bad :)

Great video! Thank you.

You're a mad man Dave!

That must of been so much fun, great playing to.✌️🤘🌱

The joy is contagious.

I had no clue about daisy chaining those together now I’m going to go try it. Thanks for the video man.

I'm getting on a plane and coming to hear you do this again...in person 😂 BRILLIANT idea and execution 😃😎👍 So glad you've done this Dave😉😎 Love my TMDR...😉😎👍❤ Just hope it doesn't crap out 2 days after warranty is up🤞

I don't do pure clean very often, and for me, that cranked twin sound is mint.

Ever since I watched your unboxing of the Twin I've been in love with it. That Greeny sound defies description.

Another great video Dave. Proper interesting. Think I need to get a deluxe

It's great to see you in good humour man superb playing

Great playing!

Wow. That last bit was life changing. Dave has a whole ecosystem of amps. Should do documentary on different species living together. Good home for all these amps. Beautiful. Rock on!

Wow whats not to like! for me the Delux had it all, the Twin a bit more the super, well great obviously! all these amps are fab, I love this and Fenders Champion range, controls on the front well yeh! makes perfect sense thats a reason after playig a few amps I went with the Champion 100 its simples to use! Great vid mate thank you :)

I have each of these. I think the Deluxe is my favorite (I have not done any firmware updates like the treble cut). I feel like the Deluxe breaks up slightly earlier than the other two and I think I like the breakup and general sound of the 1X12. I like how easy it is to transport the Deluxe and you'll always have plenty of volume with the XLR out to PA. Even without the XLR out, it's pretty darn loud! I found it interesting that you had the bass EQ set low, I've heard people do that on these amps. The cool thing about the Super is that it has proper Alnico pickups as opposed to the light weight ones in the other amps. Thank you! This is a good comparison!

At last what I’ve wished to watch for comparisons . And from a great guitarist 🎉

Thank you WOW I'M BUYING ALL 3 THANK YOU SIR

I still love my blonde TM-DR so much. Incredible amps. Dave, you'll also need to get the Princeton version!

Dave can make any amp sound good

Loved the daisy chain on max volume!

Great video Dave. I've gigged with the DR black and blond and the Twin black Tonemasters, in the end I only kept the DR black as it really sounded good with my Tele clean and overdriven, whereas the blond sounded to me like a DR with a blanket over it. The Twin is great, and I have used TRs for years, but it didn't sound as in your face as the DR with my Tele. Thanks again

Awesome!! Now you really need to give a try to the blonde one! It's my fav

Dave in a field away from life . CRANKED !!!

Fenders are awesome!!

I loved the clean sounds of the Super - it sounded a little bit fuller/compressed to my ears. Kinda like I would imagine a vintage blond bassman would sound (not that I ever played one). For that I'd get the Super and maybe get it split into head and cab and refinished in blond tolex for a great surf rig 😃 - as I haven't got the money for that just yet I'll make do with my Champion 100 which is cool too. As for the dirty sound the Twin blew everything out of the window (literally), it just sounded fantastic to my ears. What a great comparison- thank you 😃

Your assessment and mine match exactly, deluxe clean, twin distorted. I would go for the twin for sure. Would get an AB box and use ch1 on the twin for cleans.

Twin, Twin, Twin. Gives you everything from 60s surf to crunchy 70s Pistols.

Dave, Would loved you to have done this video live from that field you played the reverb in when you got it 👍

Wow a wall of harmonic power 😂👍❤️it

I can't wait for the future of the Tone Master line ! I wish they will do Bassman, Showman... why not a Quad Reverb !

Twin reverb was awesome on clean, love that spanky sound then super reverb sounded best distorted.

It doesn’t get much better than a wall of Fenders…except for maybe a wall of Marshalls! Good thing you have both!

Rock On Dave!!!! I will feel like a God in a guitar store now … Moo Ha Ha!!! I had my LP’s - LP custom & SG400 w/p90s running thru my fender frontman 100watt many years ago (what a beast that fender turn into at 3am ,oops!) and I never had a Strat or knew someone with a Strat to hear it with - oh well , that’s how the ⚽️ bounces ..

I’m surprised that it came through on the ear buds I’m listening on, but the thing about Supers is that the sound sounds like it’s coming from everywhere, really spacious. The smaller combos sound more narrow focus, like the sound is coming from only straight in front of you.

All the amps sounded better with the Strat. End of story. The Twin is the winner. The Super sounded somewhat muffled. That being said, all 3 amps chained together is a HUGE game changer. That sounded like a really well recorded concert that was mastered by a genius sound engineer. Don’t argue with me Dave. I bought my own audiophile equipment as a child and I listened to this twice with really great headphones 🎧. Looks like I’ll be getting a Twin also 🙃. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵❤️

the tone masers , masters ...

It’s a preference thing. If I had to pick? Twin, then Super. The Twin has the sound that’s in my head. It’s just always going to be the right amp for me. The Super, though.... some really sweet vibe coming out of those 10”’s. I wouldn’t be saddened to have Tone Master Super.

Twin for distortion. Super reverb for clean. Very nice Big Dave. Great idea man 😊👍✌️🎸 id take the Twin 😊

I immediately liked the twin

The Twin......I had a tube one in my early gigging days in the 70s with a Les Paul Black Beauty and a wah....that was it for years....eventually I found the sound of the old Twin was...."ouch" and that's not the amp...that's my back speaking.....then I bought the Roland JC 120 and went...ahhhh yes. and it had the best caster set up I've ever seen on an amp. Easy to move around..eazy to pop out the wheels...that Les Paul sounds really great through the Twin...I knew it would

Tough one Dave! Love you work. I bought a Twin Reverb Tone Master when they first came out(2020 ? ). It has been a wonderful amp, used everyday. Never had an issue. I love that I can push all the aspects of the amp without getting too loud, if I choose. Or occasionally I can put it on full power and really rattle the house. It is immensely loud on full power. It took me a while to work out how to run pedals through it. I am very curious to hear the Deluxe Reverb TM cranked, and also the Blonde version with the Celestion speaker, with pedals. The never ending tone journey! I think it is a form of psychosis, but a noble journey nonetheless.

I’m not going down the tone master rabbit hole until they put out the goddamn Bassman. Fender is going to do last cuz they know it’s one everyone wants and that’s how corporations are.

Okay 👍 😮😮😮😮😮i say use the chain connection with all 3 together it sounded awesome 🤩 👍😎🎸🤘

Still love them all!🙂

Going with the Super Reverb myself but was listening on a phone. Great stuff Dave !

With the the attenuation off.....wowser! what a tone! :) lol

Interesting comparisons Dave which would you go for between Boss Catana Artist or Fender Tone Master maybe Deluxe Reverb 100 - we play small to medium gigs looking for a suitable amp

Never been a fan of Fender amps, Marshalls, yes please, Fender no... Tried a mates Fender "something" a few years ago and was suitably impressed HOWEVER, it still wasnt for me but it did get me away from ONLY Marshalls. Now, my gigging amp is a Peavey ValveKing 100w 2x12.. Absolutely love it! Practice amp is a modelling amp but is very Vox orientated. One day, maybe, I will revisit Fender as I get older LOL

“Felt like a God !” 🎸🎵🤣🤣🤣

the twin for me. had a really nice highend.it is weird because i remember you saying the twin was the darkest so you run the treble really high as i said i thought it had the most cut/treble out of all of them for me.

I have a fender tone Master Twin Reverb I've had for a year. I dig out all the time it is replaced everything as far as live situations go. I have two tube super Reverb amps. The difference in the sound between them and the tone Master is the same as what you would find between two different twin reverbs. I own 10 amps

Hey Dave! I own the Super and are really struggling with its brightness, especially when using pedals and going for lead tones. I wonder if one of the others would suit me better. I know you love how the Super takes pedals but would you say the others take pedals as well? Thanks!

All you need is the Tone Master Princeton now

That’s interesting. Over the internet, I liked the sound of the OD on the Super reverb, it just needed some tweaking of the EQ. But in person is a very different thing. Also, in person the Super is going to be up closer to your ear and the Deluxe and Twin will be blasting your legs, which could account for the difference in perception.

Ace that!!! You were right, they can daisy chain, and HOW !!!

Ive got a Twin coming tomorrow morning or Monday. Just want a high headroom amp and run my helix as FX only into the front. Have been playing FRFRs for years and it’s great but missing that big stage filling sound.

Oh lawd that Super Reverb Dirty...

was kinda surprised by this but other than the deluxe clean sounding pretty good i really only liked the super. The super definitely sounded way better than the others dirty.

Christmas has come early! You should do all 3 at a trio gig......

Do you have any advice for something on a budget I can play through headphones? I currently have a champion 20 which sounds good through the speaker but sounds awful through headphones. Even on volume 2 my terrible playing is driving my mrs crazy

To me (being mic'd up), they all sounded similar clean. But.... the Super sounded best when cranked. It most likely had a very different feel in the room.

How would you say they take fuzz pedals like Tone Benders and Fuzz Faces? Is one better for it?

I think the twin is probably the best for the giging muso seems to cover everything

The twin for me. Sounded bigger than the others.

Ur the man.....👍✌️

Great amps everybody! But none compares to the mighty Fender Stage. Now that is the perfect Fender amp

Are you gonna be getting a Princeton Reverb TM Dave? apprantly its the best one of the lot !

I've got the Super and jesus it's loud. Whether I use the Strat or SG, I find I've got to load up the mids with an eq or tube screamer. Anyone else find this?

Hi Dave, I have a question for you. You obviously love these Tone Masters but you are famous for loving orange amps as well. If you had to choose between one of these Fenders or the orange super crush 100 as your only amp what would you go for?

Ha! I liked the super’s distortion the best. It seemed tighter than the other two.

Thanks for the demo, They have a different sound amongst themselves, but, fender has a different sound overall I couldnt put my finger on, compared to marshall. Fender sounds like a marshall with the guitar tone dialed back a little to me..A different overall sound. Which is fine, many songs that brightness isnt wanted. Now pedals can go back and forth. I would get some earplugs Dave, or at least rolled up tissue in a ball and cram in your ears. You can still hear the amp fine. It knocks down the sound waves that you dont notice as harmful. If your gonna crank it up you need headphone type ear protection. You can still hear the amp fine. Its still loud with the headphone looking ear protectors. Put tissue in your ears and the headphone type ear protectors. Its still loud. It still hurts my ears with all the ear protection and the marshall cranked up and two homemade 1x12 cabs. Demo request for a Crate gt1200h amp head, solid state. Note, dont let Cici plug into that thing or you may not get it back, I dont use a crate cab. Reasons for that. Video request on how you do sound checks indoors and out. Simply

They all sound great Dave, I just don't know why they cost so much, usually sold state cost less than what there asking for these. Fender must sell them buy the weight of the amp, these are half the weight are the tube version. Thanks for the Fender Master Wall of sound demo, I love your video's.

I like the deluxe so much I bought 2. A blonde and a black model. My only issue with them is the lack of extension cab plugins.

In the end, all these amps need to dial in EQ to adjust for speakers and inherit tones. Also, the P10Rs Aincos I find need breakin time. The 12" in the deluxe is a bit more forgiving as new plus its a 22 watt vs 45 watt. The Ainicos will be brighter than a single 12". Thought SR projected hi gain chords well. Would like to hear more blues/jazz strat neck samples esp in each attenuator mode between Delx and SR.

Dave, let me start by saying I love what you do thank you. But at 8:50 you said the twin is a little bit too thin? But if I remember correctly earlier in the video you also said you were running the bass on the Twin at zero, middle on 10 and Treble on 8 would that not be a major contributing factor in the sound being a little bit too thin? I would sort of expect it to be thin with that EQ settings. I’m not trying to be clever just asking that’s all.

Dave. Hug from Argentina. I have a question for you...what is your favorite fuzz? Maybe a top 3? Plz I really like to see your opinion. Abrazo hermano.

I have the Dlx Reverb and it’s amazing. I’d love to hear it A/B’d with a Princeton Reverb.

Dave, thanks for fun video! BTW, signal flows from the guitar to the amplifier. So: out of the guitar, into & then out of pedals, then into amplifier, and then out of the speaker. Not trying to be mean, just helping to clarify for those times you are describing your signal chain.

To me The Deluxe Reverb is #1. A Shure SM57 being the Great Equalizer. I was expecting the Super Reverb to win.

Hey Dave, which Tone Master model would get you the closest to that Peter Green kind of tone?

Excellent shoot out, Dirty I think the twin was a bit bright. The Deluxe was a bit muddy, The super was my winner here. I do wonder if the Deluxe could be less muddy with the firmware engaged and a bit more messing with the EQ. As always Dave great job

I'd say the super. But you have to let us hear the clean sound with everything in the middle without distortion on the same guitar. You go to extreme settings such I d never choose myself. So, actually, no opinion at all. Btw i have a Super Twin Reverb '79. (6*6L6) and people call it dull, but I have my own speakers in series and it's damn good tone wise. Don't use the equalizer though!) Edit: what size/brand speakers are in those?

Super reverb for me.

best time to buy any new stuff for a guitar or amp his on the boxing day sale at Andertons Music

Will we be treated to a guiter & amp collection video this year?

Where's the upper mids and treble gone on the Super?

I have the Blonde TMDR. It’s been a gigging machine for me. I’ve tried the Twin. I haven’t tried the Super or Princeton. I got the DR because it’s a classic 1x12 that like all these amps gives you that classic Fender clean sound. With the XLR out and attenuation any of them are super flexible. I just like the look/size of the DR best

I bought a tone master twin reverb directly because of what I’ve heard on your videos. I found it one the used rack, six months old, for 800 USD. It is a live gigging, pedal taking machine. I owned a real twin about 8 years back, and while it did sound absolutely fantastic, I don’t miss the weight, or the loudness of it.

All three with no attenuation, it’s the future!

Where did you bury the neighbors? An empty bassman cab in the canal? I'd buy a CD of ambient leads over the looper to help fund the Twin. Cheers

Wrong Hoodie 😂

Helooooooo Dave ❤ 🎸 !!!!

The twin

The Twin. The End
