The Fender Tone Master Pro is the new kid on the block, but how good is it compared to the other modelers out there like the Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Headrush Prime, Line 6 POD GO (sorry, I tried to find a helix on short notice...) and the Fractal Axefx III?

@TheMmt465 9 месяцев назад

Hey I've been watching allot of your videos and I'm wanting a modeler that is between $400 - $600. I'm mainly looking for one that has the ability to split the chain and run two amps at the same time for bass(the classic split bass signal for low bass and distorted signal). I look at the product pages of the many different modelers but can't see if these modelers have that ability. Is there a list of ones that can do that or what are some in that price range you recommend?

@AndyRofe 9 месяцев назад

Holy Hell!!! I really did NOT expect the stock Headrush Prime Rectifier to sound that good. Great job Taylor and thanks for putting the effort into making the comparison video for all of us!

@TaylorDanley 9 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Me either, I was super surprised.

@tophe95 9 месяцев назад

I really like the way that you test modelers with real cab! We always watch vids with cabsim/ IR, so it's great

@ThroughTS 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely amazing job dude....I've Watched so many countless hours of comparison videos on all of these units. By far this is the best I've seen high gain wise at capturing the sound quality of each of those units. There is a lot of RU-vid video comparison videos out there that seem to always color the sound or in some case show their bias. This video seems very transparent and honest as you can do without being with each on in person.

@scottwhitlow8468 9 месяцев назад

Would be cool to see a 5150 shootout between the TMP, Axe III and QC since that is a flagship amp for the TMP. Also, I think with the bottom end you were looking for, the TMP has the global EQ. I wonder if that just needed to be adjusted to match? Good video! 👍🏻

@TaylorDanley 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, that's what I should have done but the TMP's 5150 is the Stealth, and I believe all the others have a block letter... not that it matters TOO much, but you know, the internet cares about these details lol.

@brettgrey5658 9 месяцев назад

I'm happy you decided to plug these into a power amp. I am using the Orange Amps Pedal Baby and Orange Vintage 30 2x12 cab, and it has officially replaced my rig. It sounds so much more like a real amp when running through a power amp, and you don't have to worry about fiddling with cabs and IR's in the unit itself. Build a preset and eliminate the cab block on the unit and these units sound amazing. And you have the advantage of not having to use an FX loop , just like with FRFR monitors. Sounds great! 🤘🏼

@lemac3200 9 месяцев назад

I'm glad the prime stood the test. As the HR Core is the most affordable (after the HX stomp), this one will be my next modeler. I worked with the HR Gigboad since 4 years. I love so many features about it and got to know it in and out. I'm glad I'm able to continue my journey with this company's products. All the others are much to expensive in my point of view. I don't know wether I will ever be wanting to spend this much money to have just a few more features. And to be honest, tonewise there isn't that much of a difference, which you can't tweak with the onboard controls and EQ pedals.

@B.C.Roberts-or3vb 9 месяцев назад

Ive never played built in models in QC because captures are next level. Let's be honest, the difference in the mix between all of them is so small that a true music lover will never be able to tell the difference.

I had an old Boss GT-8 back in the day. Sounded amazing for the time & got some cool tones from it & used the heck out of it. I listen back to it now & yeesh… It was good times though. Still currently have a Pod Go I mostly use at church & gigs. Recently ordered a ToneX One & eventually will get an HX Stomp XL for a small board that’ll work for church & my metal stuff. A tone upgrade. I’ll use the Pod Go for gigs in harsher conditions but in the end, the listener won’t know the conditions unless you A/B the boards live.

@msi1985 8 месяцев назад

Dude!!! Really well done video. Tldr is that if you own one of these units, you should learn to dial it in, and regardless of the brand, for the most part, you will get the sound you're after! I'm starting new so I guess I can't go wrong with whatever one I choose!

@markculpepper9136 9 месяцев назад

I think prefernce of the UI is the biggest difference for all of these. They all sound pretty good. I doubt anyone hearing any of these live with a full band over a house PA is going to know which unit is being used. I'm a current Kemper user, but thinking about switching to the ToneMaster Pro for the ease of use. I really only play 4-5 amp models anyway.

@TheGooseChaseMusic 9 месяцев назад

Once you played them back to back in a mix, the QC's model stood out as a little boxy compared to the others, which is sort of my experience with the low end of QC models in general.

@FastRedPonyCar 7 месяцев назад

Hi comments section! Just a friendly heads up that the Fractal FM3 can be found all over reverb for around 800 bucks and has all the core sounds and most features of the rack version. I used to own the rack version and downsized to the FM3 and it still does SO much and the tone and sounds I get from the FM3 are identical. For the money, it's untouchable IMO and built like a tank with a lot of support/updates/etc from Fractal always adding new stuff.

@schlagdog 9 месяцев назад

The Fender and the Headrush were the best sounding in this demo. If been saying for many years L6 has bad amp modeling that always is weird in one way or another. I hope everything is redone in the new Helix that should be out this year.

@Turbo-D 9 месяцев назад

Very interesting video, thanks Taylor! To me Fractal still is king although they all sounded very good here...

@eds4754 7 месяцев назад

Nice video! Definitely think the QC Rectifier sounds best with the master below 1, and then turning up the output. With the Line 6 rectifier, the master below 2.2, and likewise with the Axe FX, keeping the master low helps the amp sound much better. It really depends on how each company modelled the channel volume and global master as to how much headroom you have before the poweramp clips. Guessing NDSP had the channel master at 10, so you need to have the global master REALLY low to have enough headroom to avoid mush.

@mccloud273 9 месяцев назад

I think Line 6 definitely needs a push, ESPECIALLY for the Pod Go, which is several updates behind the Helix/HX line. No idea what they could be working on currently, but there's a lot they could do. Great vid!

@paulgrindley8192 9 месяцев назад

Supposedly Line 6 is going to drop a new firmware for the Pod Go sometime in November. No clue what the update will include.

@alidalkus3853 9 месяцев назад

Great comparison! I think Fractal sounded the best. Then Fender and Headrush. Quad Cortex sounded a bit dull to me. And lastly Line 6 sounded low quality somehow, it's on lower league. I am waiting you to test Headrush Core (hopefully), I believe it's the best value for the money without compromising the quality. Cheers man!

@jimsimmons2674 9 месяцев назад

Taylor your right about using a power amp going through a real cab,i do not get the tones i really want with just IR's and do not get the amped pushed air sound with IR's.I found a solution that works good for me,i modded my Peavey Vypyr 15w by removing the metal enclosure and drilling a hole in the back of it for 1/4" output jack(4OHM)and connecting the speaker output wires(no soldering) i put it in a rack mount i made,i run it into my Marshall 4x12 1960a cab,i use my NUX MG30 modeler with Speaker output set to Front Combo and cut lows by 2db(IR off) into the Vypyr 15 Fender Green DLX amp model and i get great tones and also i was shocked how loud it was into my Marshall! Taylor if you still have your Vypyr Tube you should try my settings and try one of your 4x12 cabs with the Vypyr!You can also buy a used Vypyr 15 cheap and do my mod!If you do want to try this let me know and i will give you my exact Vypyr settings?

TMP sounded good, prime was ok, podgo definitely flat-ish. Cortex models I noticed sometimes have a thing where it sometimes has better results lowering the master volume and raising the output in the models, Sonic drive studios pointed this out for a mesa model and i've been trying this idea on all the models. Axe does have those deep dive options which is great for crafting but it is a rabbit hole. I also really like the input boost option for the Amp models in the axe. Best vid yet

@smeemusic 9 месяцев назад

Hey Taylor, when you do these multi fx demos and shootouts is there any chance you could switch presets or patches while playing? I think this would be useful so that potential buyers can hear if or how much of a pause there is between presets or patches. This is the main question I have by the end of these videos. Right now I’m using a pedalboard with something like 15 pedals on it and I’m using a boss es-8 switcher. When I switch between any of the presets I’ve made I have literally 0 interruption in sound. It’s seamless and I also get spillover with reverb and delay tails. If I can find a multi fx unit that can do this, I would ditch this 100 pound pedal board instantly. Thanks for all you do Taylor!!!

The Quad Cortex is over rated imo. I am Helix guy anyway but the fender does sound killer in real life. My fav multi effects is the ax fx 3. But nice shootout, killer tone.

The Axe FX with a foot controller is more than 3000 Euros. You compare this to the pod Go and some freaks delight in saying that the Axe Fx is king 😂😂😂😂😂. The world is lost.

Many of the influencers won't talk value for price paid! You may remember Shane from IntheBlues was straight-up fooling listeners with blind shootouts between the original Fender Mustang amps and the real amps it was imitating over a decade ago. It's silly we are still arguing about "what sounds the best" without regard for full feature sets and price!

The Axe FXIII mkII Turbo with foot controller costs more the $6,800 AUD the TMP costs $2,349 the Headrush Prime $2,200. The world is truly lost!

I watch ALOT of your vids and im just not a fan of the way these sound. This is a great representation on why they will never replace an analog amp, theres just this buzzy artificial texture they all have. I think in this the QC sounds the worst theres this weird boxyness... The TMP and Headrush sounded the best Imo but for my money the line 6 is hard to beat.

Tone master was nice headrush was good too. I don’t think tone master is 700 bucks better than headrush

The pod can sound better than that with IR's. The stock cabs are pretty mediocre.

If you TRULY want to test the platforms, then a high gain amp with the gain up, and thus compression up, et al, is NOT going to show much. Redo it with a more dynamic amp model, at just short of/edge of breakup. THIS is where the chaff will be separated.

Didn't like the QC at all. And the TMP is just ridiculously overpriced for what it offers
