He's just amazing. Picked up a brand-new tool and went wild with it. With the way he's using, I wonder if more guitarists will start putting these on a raised platform.
And also Helix and Fractal.... like after more than 15 years of products from these modelling companies , fender had to show them how to do spillover............ LOL
Hi Cullen, what I see a lot in all videos about the Tonemaster pro are a lot of cases where the screen doesn't respond properly to a tap. Can you comment on that with your experience? Thanks!
THAT KRAMER GUITAR LOOKS SICK! and the fender tonemaster pro is great as well. I really hope that fender can release a budget version of this pedal. I would be happy with a stripped down, no nonsense version in a $599 to $1000 range. It will be awesome to see how this new tech from fender trickles down to a more budget friendly price range.
It’s awesome, but the one thing missing is the ability to capture and share captures. I have some old classic amps and pedals that do not come in the unit, that I want to add in. That’s the one feature holding it back from passing the Quad Cortex. If they add that in, I would buy one in a second.
Times really are changing!! A modeler by Fender who would’ve thought!! I don’t think it’s the right product for me, but I definitely am considering taking my tube powered Princeton and trading it in this holiday season for a tone master Princeton. (Due to various factors) It just depends on when I’m going to be able to do that. The lack of repairability towards a tone master, is the one thing that has stopped me from doing the trade-in now, but I did weigh some pros and cons. Contrary to popular belief tube powered amplifiers are not invincible, and sometimes cannot be repaired. Therefore, I see no issue in doing the trade-in, especially given various factors going on. Built in attenuation would also save me from hooking a clunky external device up to do the same job.
I have a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb with the updates , been using for 3 years on stage, 100% reliable. Sounds great, like a real tube amp. Looks great, like a real tube amp. Behave like a real tube amp. Half the weight of a real tube amp. I also have a hand-Wired '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb that cost three times as much as a Tone Master. I don't take the hand-wired tube amp out anywhere. Some idiot will always put a beer bottle on top of it. The hand-wired tube amp has an eyelet board (easy-to-fix), not a circuit board (impossible to fix).
The TMP is the one that will make tube amp players pay attention. At 3am when I get the urge to play, I can use the TMP with studio headphones and get a thrill from the sound. The TMP is a beautiful wonder of engineering so it is easy on the eyes. Beautiful hi res color touch screen. Don't need a manual to play like a pro.
This thing does everything but play the guitar for you!!! I have a older model Line 6 floor pod that I really have enjoyed using but it is a bit clunky to set up. I would love to have one of these Fender Units though!! May be on my birthday wish list for next year! Thanks Dagan always enjoy your videos.
Loved the video - nice job. The Mission Engineering co branded and custom painted expression pedal is an obvious add on. The built in toe switch can be used to switch between volume and wah for example or switch one or more effects on/off. Will open up the control and creative power of the Tone Master Pro. The Mission SP1-TMP has a mono wired toe switch, that is needed
I already have a Boss EV5 Expression pedal (TRS) and a Boss FS5-L (latched) footswitch (TS) for the Toe Switch. The Boss FS5-L has an (On/Off) LED indicator which is really helpful.
Had mine for a few weeks and really pleased with it. Great for Cleans and even better for Ambient Guitar. Already created Guitar Synth and Ambient guitar patches and video's. Best Wishes 🎶🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎😎
Would the FrFr speaker be loud enough to keep up with a drummer, and other band members say in live rehearsal/ playing live situations? Are there any vids of it being used this way ?
Word up because nobody refines the existing models like Fractal. People don't seem to know of that or appreciate it, but the other companies simply dump more on top of the dumpster fire rather than improving what they've got... and Fractal definitely has it all.
@@justinTime077 agreed. Fractal is in a league of it's own. I love my Fractal products. I have purchased every model they have ever made...although I am having a blast with the tonex pedal by capturing all my hard to get 80's amps I have.
@@matthewearl9824. If Fractal was in a league of its own, everyone would play Fractal and nothing else. A ton of good products today. Not to mention captures is the future.
As soon as I saw the fancy flashing lights I knew this was gonna be 4 figures +….Worth every penny by the looks/sounds of it. Might trade my old American Strat for one.
Hello First of all, thank you for another excellent review. I am interested in the following. Since I have a Mustang GTX 100 and am a studio producer, is it worth buying Tone Master Pro for sounds? Does Tone master really have that much better presets and sounds if I record directly in DAW from XLR? Thanks for the reply. Have a nice day.
@@NS-tc9kk No problem. Now that I've been testing the Tone Master Pro for a couple of days, I find that there is no big difference in sound between the GTX100 and the Tone master pro. In terms of use, they are the same, the TMP has the same software as the GTX100 with an application on the phone. Personally, as a studio musician, I don't think I gain anything from TMP. I do not know. I'll see when I get the FR-12, which is on its way to me. On the other hand, I also have the Katana MRK2 100 and all the Universal Audio plugins for guitars, but I think that the GTX100 suits me best so far, as far as recording and the price are concerned, of course. Greetings. Mitja ;-)
Is it really worth $1700.00 US? I mean you still need the box which is another $549.00? Sounds great but most of that sound and mastery is your awesome playing man!!!
"It's the first time an amp brand has made something like this..." Actually, Vox still makes the StompLab and used to make a bigger version called the ToneLab.
yes exactly - without preset snapshots - super great - no idea what kind of stuff you're smoking, it sounds like a Helix with a different user interface - I find it a bit weak if it says fender on it
My ears feel the same. Havent been able to pick up what this thing does from the area of D3 on fifth fret of A string in standard tuning. Ale we kinda don't know shat the latency The price is in quad cortex area.... which i feel is an overkill for something that sounds like a helix. With all the respect to the endeavour i would probably pick a boss gt1000 shich has very few amps , wich actually are different from eaxh other ant has less than 1ms latency. Plastic ? Yes ! Responsive? Way more than the competition !
@@LaburnusI wouldn’t. I’m ditching my GT1000core, an LVX, and a few more pedals to get this bad boy. Keeping some great drive pedals, one fantastic modulation effect and an H90. The rest can go. And I’ll still have some bucks to throw down on a new PRS or Martin just to round things out. It’s good to downsize.
When a guitar producer with decades of experience through their hat on the ring for battle over multi effect, the world listen. We are waiting for others.

Studio Monitors or Power Amp with Guitar Cab. Or go straight into the Return of a guitar amp There's other methods too. You could buy an FRFR cab too like Dagan.But I prefer a Seymour Duncan Powerstage Amp and Cab.
Turn off cab modeling and run it into your effects return or if your amp is clean enough, right into the front. I run both ways and through an RME UFX+ into a DAW and monitors. There are many options.
Easiest is headphones. It sounds great. My preference is studio quality headphones, such as Audio Technica ATH-M50x. If you want more sound, try the accompanying Fender Tone Master FRFR 1,000 watt cabs. The Fender Tone Master Full Range Full Response self-powered FR-10 and FR-12 cabinets. I have two FR-12 cabs for that stereo Wall of Sound.
Can’t wait for update on firmware. IMO some tones kick butt, but there are, I would say 50% models that I don’t care for too much. 😢 Having said that, a modeler such as this, can be great, as long as the ‘few’ good ones are stellar. I think Fender has some really good models, but definitely not all of em.
How can you afford not to have one. I have a TMP. It has made me a better guitar player. I can practice more with the great headphone sound late at night.
Mega Wrecked Oh. You know the guy who came up with that one is still patting himself on the back. His wife will be hearing about that one for the next 10 years, too. The editing/encoder knobs are pretty cool. Sounds good but price seems a bit steep.
Very fair price. Quad cortex is the same and having almost exact matches of any amp in the world, and running multiple band members with their own individual lines for less than 2k is wild.
I'm not hearing anything remotely earth shattering for the mega price tag. I don't think the existing multieffects manufacturers will be losing any sleep over this one...
It costs the same as a Fractal or a Neural that are generally both considered a Ferrari of modelers by the top Pro users. Do you think this is equal ??? If you do would you please share whatever you are smoking. 😇
I'm 66. I have been playing a Stratocaster thru a Deluxe Reverb for 55 years. I know what I like. I prefer the TMP. I have buddy who likes the Fractal. He has been playing a Les Paul thru a Marshall for decades. I prefer blondes. He prefers brunettes.
For the asking price it's a huge miss with no capture/profiling feature. What was Fender thinking? Hopefully they will correct this glaring oversight with a firmware update. Otherwise? It's got a lot to offer, sounds really good, the form factor & user interface are nice and easy to use. I owned a Mustang GT 100 so I'm familiar with building a patch. I like the unit but it's overpriced. If I were to get one it will be in two years on Reverb when the price is what it should have been at launch.
Fractal units don't have profiling, for similar amounts of money. Fractal units also have a *ton* of other features though, and keep updating their amp models basically until perfection has been reached. So that's another route that Fender could (and IMO, should) take instead.
You can't add profiling with only a firmware update. It requires physical updates as well. I can't believe more of the reviewers don't get this! But many of them are trying to sell you the product!
@@joelanderson6777 It has a Mic input. What other physical updates would it require? Seems like all it needs is a software update to pull off the profiling.
4 years of R&D. Those engineers don't work for minimum wage. The main guy that worked for Helix now works for Fender. The million dollar updates will make it sound even better
So please someone, for the love of all that is right and good, please show lag time test. Change channels, patches, turn individual effects on and off, etc just like you would live. If it has anything longer than instant, just like a stump box, the product is a fail.
It's almost as fast as the newer Boss stuff.... Boss is instant and flawless.... Just a small learning curve to get all that fizz out of it.... Which I'm hearing much more of from this Felix 🤣. Cleans sound sub par to GX 100 and line 6.... But not as good as those... Maybe Fender will update. They have bad habit of abandonment in the past
@@victorparedes6887 yep 👍 it's 2023 and yet another product to try and dethrone helix I get it. I actually like this unit but only have a little time with it. It's getting better I will say so far so good. Boy it's expensive though lol
Dude I thought you playing the USA National Anthem was fucking awesome….but then came “It’s juicy, it’s thick, it’s bloody wonderful……it’s ZZ goddamn Top” and that’s the best damn comment ever! 😂🤘 Oh and this damn unit is…uh….I gotta get one!
@@davidforman6191 Perhaps but if I am going to carry a powered speaker, I might as well bring my amp. For me, and I understand it is different for everyone, the whole point of the modeller is to save my back. So guitar straight into modeller and out of modeller into the desk. Carrying a powered speaker is out of the question at least for me
Two FR-12 cabs have a nice stereo Wall of Sound. That should be on your bucket list. I am healthy, but you never know when your last day is. Like Mathew Perry who checked out at a young 54. I'm 66, so waiting is not an option. Have that TMP experience now. Listen to the Pink Floyd song, Time. Remember John Lennon's words, Time that you enjoy wasting, is not wasted.
If you want captures, quit whining and go buy a tonex. Your cab honestly isn’t that special and if it was really about that you’d have a Qwad Cotex already. If you want modeling this is the new way to go. This is the way.
Just need to find an audience that can handle having their ears blown out with distortion after distortion, I'm wondering how good the clean sounds, delays / reverbs etc sound like because I can't listen to this anymore, my Boss SD1 and SD2 pedals are all the distortion that i will ever need, surely people arnt going to spend good money on this when a £100 multi stomp will do fine.
