I tried to hold off, but that lasted about a week. I was mesmerized by the demo videos and had to try one out. Was the Fender Tone Master Pro worth it?
👌 good to see you onboard 100% Doug. The Tone Master Pro got me back into this game. Very simple and intuitive to operate. Keep the videos coming. Great job. ✌️
I'm with you dude. I'm not a big fan of deep, deep control. After all, in the real world you just have the knobs in front of you. I think Fender has done a great job with the look and feel, the touch screen and the GUI. I haven't played one yet, so I'll reserve judgment on how it sounds until then but quite honestly, I think this might be the modeller for me.
I bought one because it has the same amp modeling used in the Fender Tonemaster amps which have gotten good reviews comparing the amps to the tube amp versions. That seems like a good start for a floor unit if you like Fender amps. And then it has the other amp types also. The sounds of a Princeton, Deluxe, Super, Bassman and Twin are not a bad start for variety (if you like Fender amps). The addition of 50's tweed models would be very good. A lot of musicians do gigs with only a Deluxe Reverb and a few pedals.
Im so glad ive found your channel in these days this channel its amazing here in italy in my city i not have friends and a girl and nobody want listen me play guitar im so kindly im 22 years old and i play guitar almost over 5 years now 🎸🌟🌞🌞⭐🌟🌟🎸⭐🎸🎸🇺🇸🌟🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really like the simple common sense points you have shared ... great video ... the Tone Master Pro makes sense, and yiou don't have to be a digital engineer to operate and generate great sounds ... I'm purchasing!!
Very good vid, this road is wide open, Fender knows most customers just want a box they can use . They know their main customer is not a working musician so it has to fit Both Types of customers , they also know there are many closets full of pedals that were not user friendly . They can add a lot of Auto-Tune type voice transformers so the slate has exciting possibilities
The TMP is best sounding gear among my others, FM9, Axe-FxIII and QC... The 8core cpu will bring you to another level of fantasy domain via upcominh formware updates soonest.
Yeah it's funny how initially so many UA-camrs were sour on the TMP before they even really have it a chance. Kind of like the Silver Sky PRS. Now I'm seeing a slow but steady change of the more open minded reviewers starting to subjectively come on over to the Fender camp now it actually give it a fair chance and realize it actually sounds good.
You sound great with this! I have the Helix HX Stomp. I hated the presets, didn't like the UI, and gave up with it pretty quickly. The FM3 has much better tones, but I need to plug it into my laptop to make any edits because it is so awkward to use. This is so easy to use! The few amp models it has sound great. Can't wait for some tweed and silverface amps to be added.
I have a Fractal AF3, Headrush Prime and the Fender TMP. If all 3 units were able to be returned, I would keep 2 of them......the Fractal and the Fender TMP. The Fender sounds great and is super easy to use. My first two FW update wishes would be that it allows block presets and the ability to save presets to the SD card or via USB to my computer.
I’ve got the original Headrush pedalboard. I play it live quite allot but have been eyeing the new tmp. I play only country and some low gain rock/blues. Do you think the fender sounds that much better than the Headrush? For the clean fender country sound especially?
@@blakeabernathy4051 I'm not a country player so, I would not be able to give a fair opinion on that. Any tones that are Marhsall type, I like much better on the TMP. I was not impressed with any of the amp modeled tones on the Headrush Prime. It does the amp cloning thing very well but that to me, is about it.
Todays multi effects pedals come down to which one is the easiest to use for the person who is using it. I've watched more reviews on these types of pedals than I can count and used many as well. With very few exceptions you can get the sound you want from any of them. There are some differences that may sway some like if you can adjust the effects loop start/stop point, does it have an effects loop, how's the construction etc. I'm sure 99% of good guitarist could dial in the tones they're looking for in whatever pedal is in front of them.
Hello I follow your videos, and I think they are very useful, congratulations! I have a question for you: how did you install the tone master pro on a stander? Could you please make a video on it? respects
Good evening, in your video in the background I saw that there was a stand (for Tone Master pro) is it possible to send me a photo because I am interested, thank you in advance.
Yes - I put out a video a few weeks ago explaining it. I wanted to branch out from just doing Fractal, so I've added other modelers and profilers to the channel. A name change was warranted.
Hi doug im a guitarist and i live in italy but i listen your and watch your videos every day i hope one day my dreams it comes true to play guitar with country artists its my dream when i was kid i love America and country music you can gift me an fractal Unit an fm3 its my dream i dont have the money im a special guy but i dream you gift me an fm3 its my dream for me it would be amazing it was an amazing gift thank you doug you are an amazing artist really im 22 years old and i live in italy 🌞⭐⭐⭐🎸⭐⭐🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌞🌞🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸I love America and country i play country music every day
Firmware updates either make or break these modelers and Fractal does this better than anyone. 2 or 3 per year from Fender NOT very good for the users. I also think Fractal is just as easy to use as any I have owned. I jumped on the QC band wagon when it came out but soon found it was not even close to my AX3 no matter how easy it was to use so I sold it. I'll keep my Fractal gear because its been proven and used by many big names over the years. I do think Fender looks better than the Quad so far and time will tell.
I really did not hear a big difference between Helix, Axe FX, and Quad Cortex. Helix is a little trickier to dial in but I didn't find anything all three couldn't do just fine sound wise.
Are you on The Gear Page? Huge thread there, with Senior VP's who have been on this project for 4 years, saying clearly they plan on firmware updates every 3 to 6 months, including adding amp models they have been working on, Soldano etc, beyond what was released.
Just think about all the money and time you spend on tweaking digital crap like this, headrush, line 6, etc that you could’ve put into real amps and gear. No more “if you spend a lot of time with it you can make it sound pretty good”… I can understand why someone may have 1 modeler but you appear to collect these things as a hobby.
I got rid of my amps and 2 large pedalboards to go digital and haven't been happier. Of course it's my hobby! How many guitars, amps and pedals do you have?
@@DougBsDigitalDen Nothing wrong with collecting real gear, I own and continue to buy more gear every week. I just don’t see the point in collecting digital modelers but to each his own. Modelers are a nice fallback when needed but at the end of the day, these all in one digital systems are all just one big giant compromise just in different tidy compromised packages.
Compromise? In what way? I’m an active, gigging player and went all digital about six years ago. This is way more flexible and convenient than my old rig in every way. At least 80% of other players in our circuit are all digital as well. I see no compromise at all.
@@marksh24 I have a owned a number of modelers and still have an axeFX3 and FM3. They are always a secondary option. if you don’t hear a tonal difference or feel a difference between analog and digital than good for you. At the same time, you may want to get yourself checked out.

I think that v-amp 2 Is the best overall

Now I'm seeing a slow but steady change of the more open minded reviewers starting to subjectively come on over to the Fender camp now it actually give it a fair chance and realize it actually sounds good.
Whatever your using sounds fabulous.
Thanks! It was the Tone Master Pro, using 2 stock presets.

Check out the video that I've got coming out this Friday. It uses the '65 Deluxe in a country song. I think it sounds amazing.
Surely the TMP beats the Headrush

Exactly what I've been saying!
Hello I follow your videos, and I think they are very useful, congratulations! I have a question for you: how did you install the tone master pro on a stander? Could you please make a video on it? respects
I'm not quite sure what you mean, sorry. Do you mean the stand that I have it on? That's just a DJ stand, and the TMP is sitting on it/
Good evening, in your video in the background I saw that there was a stand (for Tone Master pro) is it possible to send me a photo because I am interested, thank you in advance.
And finally, I have one more question. Where can I download IR acoustic? respects
Passe could you make an aliasing testing Headrush vs ToneMP like you did with the Fractal range ?❤ thanks dude !!!
Sure thing! It's on the schedule for November 👍
What happened to Fractal tips ? It's now Digital Den?
Yes - I put out a video a few weeks ago explaining it. I wanted to branch out from just doing Fractal, so I've added other modelers and profilers to the channel. A name change was warranted.
My prediction is you'll be keeping the Tone Master Pro and returning the Headrush Prime!
It s great! I got one too. Now my Boss GT1000 has a nice girlfriend :)
Rock on!
Shaking like a shitting dog on some of those solos but still like

Why not just avoid the annoying vid edit jumps...it's distracting and annoying, nobody can concentrate properly.
