Kirk Fletcher Tests Out The Tone Master Deluxe Reverb | Fender Amplifiers | Fender
/ fender
Hard to imagine how he evolved from crazy technical playing in the 80's shrapnel shred days to his current style. Unreal player.
Just like paul gilbert. He's more bluesy now
Andy Timmons has come a long way from Danger Danger as well@@realnsenpai
Guitar genius and massively underrated.
Totally
He's not underrated to guitar players. When was the last time a guitar player was popular to the masses. (Non guitar players). You have to go way back.
@@guitarocd9984 Im not talking about the masses, this guy is seriously underrated in the guitar world as has been stated by many.
He’s not underrated at all. Guitar players know damn well he is great. Who exactly underrates him?
@@lomoholgacheck out all the never ending lists of great guitarists, never a mention of Ty Tabor.
Thank you!! Finally Kotzen! What a master of guitar!
Richie is a beast of a player, he is a tone master and he has a beautiful voice too
Glad to see Richie is still around...
When I was a guitar fiend in the late 80’s early 90’s this man was incredible at a young age.
Good to see you plugin Fender.
Great guitarist... great amps.
Keep rocking brother.👍💪
Fantastic insight from Richie - by far one of the very best artist interview you guys have done. Love hearing a pros pro break down the technical and artistic considerations he takes with his amp/set up. Fender really knocked it out of the park with this Amp. What a great a player - he’s definitely slipped under the radar for too long.
Have to say, I didn’t expect much from this amp. Then, I got to play one, and it was absolutely amazing. A/B with a mid-70s Twin, and the difference was unnoticeable! Biggest advantage - 33 lbs! A Twin that can be gigged!
But... is it loud enough with a lot of clean headroom? So without putting a mic in front of it?
@@supersonicsroots Yes, yes it is. It will make your drummer blush and blow the blouse off the girl in the front row.
@@davidcudlip6587 You got that right Brother!
0:40 is the manifestation of an *eargasm* (look at the eyes)
Maybe he wears contact lenses and he's got dirt in his eye. Hopefully not, because it's not a nice feeling.
@@Jonathan-L Yeah, I wear contact lenses too... It's just a joke 😅
Hahaha
He does that a lot. I’ve seen him live. He loses himself while soloing, love the dude.
Love this dude. Massively underrated. Kudos to fender.
Underated ? Really?
He is speaking out of my soul. Simplicity, perfect sound and ease of use with directly seeing what you can do/are doing. That’s what a amp should be like. I played a tube Twin often in much earlier years, but…. for the normal use it was way too loud, too heavy and you have to take very good care to such a relatively fragile amp. So, but now the time has come and I will buy the TM Twin for me. 👍
OMG!!! I got this amp in 5 days ago.. And the tone is to die for!! The crunch at higher volume is probably the best i have ever heard!!. It rivals all 3 of my vintage Fender tube amps at half the weight or better.. Takes my pedals like it was made for them... Thank you Fender for creating another masterpiece!
is it loud enough to practice on 1? What is the tone like at 1? What is the difference going from 1 to 2 ?
Ritchie came out on top with his signature fender. That elite is by far the coolest, toneful and aesthetically pleasing instrument associated with an artist they’ve done.
Ive been loving the deluxe version, I play around 130-150 gigs a year and backline, lugging gear, especially in a city can be the worst...a few gigs in and this is killing, no one knows I'm using a digital amp, it's light and my pedals sound great in front
Do you get paid ? In What county do you play that many gigs?
@@bluedevilbroadcasting7005 used to do 260-300.
I want to like it but I’m scared it won’t do what I want. Love my tube amps but this is interesting. The light weight is really appealing. All my amps are freaking heavy!!!! I do think eventually these types of amps will take over and make our beloved tube amps obsolete. To be fair Kotzen is a fukn beast and could make any piece of shit amp sound good.
One of my absolute favorites. So underrated
Fender you guys nailed the spot on this amps! Hopefully you guys come up soon with the Bassman, Vibrolux and Princeton Tone Master series!!
Great sounding amp for sure. But lets be honest Richie Kotzen would sound killer plugged into my Toaster! He is a Tonemeister!!
Fender is the luckiest company having you on board! You are the best!
Thanks, this is a GREAT review and demo of an amplifier by an expert, that demonstrates what it is and can do.
Thats why I love my Fender Roc Pro 700. I modded EQ, swapped stock speaker for Celestion Creamback. Now it sounds immense, weighs nothing, no digital emulation, nothing to break. And I was asked to sell it for triple price.
These new Fender combos looks very promising tho!
Richie Kotzen talks, you listen. It's that simple.
he talks like a depressive junkie...
My new favorite amp! I’ll leave my vintage Fenders at home.
my favorite player since vito bratta
Wow, that's saying a lot. Don't know much about Richie except he has a killer sig tele and f,nig beast of a mij strat. After listening to some of his music if I was 21 instead of 61 I'd be up late at night trying to copy his stuff
Ty Richie, you have a beautiful voice, and you are an amazing guitarist. Much love 👍🏻✌🏻❤💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He is so right: it is important for me too to have a simple good sounding and good looking amp without presets, effects, light diodes and multiple choice knobs !
Just basics and a good tone. I don't need more.
Orange CR120!
Yep, and this isn’t it!!!
@@Panic42000 😂😂😂 lol
How’s your amp going to work without diodes in it?
Awesome playing Richie sounds great ❤🎸😊👍👍
I've been thinking about it...
I'm solid thanks guys
Thanks for the video. I like the emulated XLR output and used it this past weekend at a gig, but I'm going to try blending it with a microphone on recordings.
Great talent. I like his finger style playing, like Mark Knopfler, or Keith Urban. But I also did like his sound when he used a pick, with higher gain tones, it just comes out cleaner, and more precise. Both styles are great.
This is wonderful, everything I'd want in an amp. Lovely sound too Richie.👍
Hell Yeah! Richie is a monster guitar 🎸 player!!!
I still watch kotzens japan concert movie on youtube almost daily. He deserves to be a superstar man the guys a monster with his tele
You too huh that is truly one of the better concerts you'll ever watch
Bootleg in Brazil as great as well
@@globalmind43 dude the version of fooled again is fucking insane
Wow! Thank you Richie!
Richie can make a microwave sound great
lol
I know, I bought one of his used microwaves and it was dialed in just perfect. I had lunch with him and his microwaved leftovers sounded brilliant! LOL..
Fact. Monster player
A wooden stick with a barb wire attached too. Don't forget it.
Amen! So funny... and on point!
Just love these amps and the concept behind them ...............Deluxe Reverb inbound as a result 😎👍
Kotzen! He is The reason why I bought my Teles. Love him. Great sounding amp by the way.
I bought the Roland Cube Lite because of his demo of that amp.
I love this amp. I use a pair of them for my Rhodes piano
Lo más grande Ricardito!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've been playing for 35+ years myself and I went through the exact same musical transformation as Ritchie. When I was young I was an 80's metal head and there wasn't enough high Gain for me. Now... I Play totally clean Amps and prefer Jazz-like Tone. I appreciate the beauty of Naturally clean Tone without all the Grunge, harmonic overtones and Feedback.
Thank you Fender. I came to watch an amp review and now I'm buying a Richie Kotzen Telecaster.
What a master! I love his style 😎
I love Richie's new look and whate'er the topic it's an auditory heaven to hear him talk with his God-given special voice, with the 'bridge' in hand that connects him to the creative Source
Lol
We love you so much Richie Kotzen!
Sounds great man. I have an old vibroverb that sounds just as good but probably not quite as loud as i think it's only 40 watts. Plenty loud enough however for almost every situation. I am thinking about getting one of these because, as you say, it's great to have a backup. I'm actually getting so into space echo reverb right now, it's the only reverb i want to use lately but there is nothing like that TWANK sound one gets from an old Fender reverb, it's a classic sound also and can be pretty creamy dreamy.
Thank you for the captions. My deaf friend musicians appreciate it.
I remember when he was playing some cool amp built in the UK, I really wanted one at the time.
Good move, Fender !!!
….getting Richie K to demo your new ToneMaster Twin!!
VERY persuasive.
It’s funny I know guys who have NEVER played a regular Twin Reverb but have said these don’t sound like a Twin Reverb. I’d guarantee that from what I know of their concert experiences they have not seen one being used live either. But yea, those new ones are a joke! Well I have and they have a Tone Master Deluxe I tried in Ocala, and it sounds fantastic. It’s not a Katana, or a Mustang, at all. I would love to have that Deluxe I played and save a little bit, but I just couldn’t use the volume. But I’ll bet you a bean burrito that you would really like it if you could try it.
It doesn't sound like a real Twin Reverb. Compressed and spongey, not saying it doesn't sound good. I think it has a lot of Deluxe Reverb characteristics. I have owned several Twins from mid 60's Blackfaces all the way to the late 70"s CBS Ultralinear versions
His tone is beautiful but man did I fall in love when he played with the tremelo/vibrato
I got mine from Guitar Center 5-days before they announced bankruptcy protection.
Since, I finally had the time to reconfigure my VOX VT30 guts into a more user friendly front-faced control ‘head unit’ and now pump it through an 8-Ohm 15” cab with NO PEDALS but the VOX’s, the Fender’s, and an A-B-Y switch.
I’m amped-up-happy for life, now (I think).
Just love he’s technique. These days I’m gravitating towards playing finger style electric guitar.
I would love this amp. Richie is so right about lugging around your own gear. After 20 plus years of gigging, I don’t want to carry a heavy amp anymore.
erictoniaschwab1009 Mesa Mark iv is a chiropractor’s dream...
Robert Whitcomb I had a Dual Rectifier head and 2x12 cab. All 135 pounds of it. It was awesome when I was in my twenties. Not so much now that I’m about to turn 50.
I love my 1964 Fender Bandmaster!
I love his affinity for keeping things simple. The tech you use should enhance the playing experience, not introduce a steep learning curve.
Great Richie!.
i will definitely buy this!!
Great job and channel Fender!! I,m a pro drummer, but I love to keep my mind open for all kinds of artists too...;) Cheers, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - Epica.
I think this Tone Master series has so much going for it. Id love to see the line made into a pro and home series. Like have the Deluxe, Twin, and add maybe a Pro Reverb for bigger suited gigs (keeping all the power selectors), but also have a home series with like a Princeton and a Champ. This could be an amazing thing if they keep going!
Dawson Fradin Yeah that'd be awesome
A Princeton, you say? Well boy, do I have good news for you.
@@paulfarias5773 DUDE
Last I remember, it runs around 900$ right now.
great presentation.
Wow, me encanto el video
10:09 is why you came here.
!!!you! Thank
Oh yeah!!$
finally, Mr.Kotzen !!!!
One of the best to ever do it
His (current) look can be deceiving but dude is legitimately one of the most insane shredders!
Makes me want this amp even tho I don't need it 😂 I have the RK tele and it is my go to guitar anymore these days....simply put Richie knows tone.
I’d watch a chalk board scratching tutorial if Richie were in it 💪🏼💪🏼 incredible talent
I'd LOVE to hear him play the track 'Unity' .. !
Would the Tone Master sound any different / better if swapped with original C12K speakers ?
Thanks,
I should buy another one RKTelecaster, just in case Fender decides one day to stop building them... I bought one not only because I am a fan, but because of the neck size and profile. This is a God send. The guitar is fantastic, Richie is a pure Genius in writing, singing and playing, but also in designing gear !!! who could Believe a true rock machine like this could alsol be so subtle and sweet ! this is my main guitar, the only one I kept after selling my PRS and Music Mans.
That tone!🤘
Ive tried those kind of amps live several times in my music carrer and they work great, sound great and they are really reliable
Ohhh and the tone is great !!! And belive me im a tube purist
Richie is a brilliant player I’ve only really discovered through The Winery Dogs but some of his recent solo stuff I’ve seen recently is stunning . If he likes these amps they must be worth a look. Look forward to seeing him live one day but will he be playing through one or two or three of these amps ?
David Dalziel he plays with his fingers too
If you like shredding/legato style playing you might want to check out his early solo albums like 'Electric Joy' & 'Fever Dream' etc. In my opinion and recommendation his album 'Mother Heads Family Reunion' is by far his best work...Definitely worth checking out.. Don't think he will be playing these amps live as he has his own signature amps with Victory. Kotzen is just 'testing' this amp out and trying to give it a good name to sell for Fender..Cheers
CJ and the Music Life thanks for the recommendations . I’ve never been a great Tele fan but strangely the three guitarists I’ve really enjoyed recently are all Tele guys .Josh Smith who I saw earlier this year in Edinburgh , Greg Koch who is due to play next month and Richie . Tempted to buy a Tele but these guys are super talented and their Teles are customised monsters so a mid priced Mexican Fender would hardly be an equal ! Thanks again , I’ll dig out these solo albums ! 👍
@@daviddalziel884 Check his early work man you're missing out lol, like CJ and the Music Life says i would also recommend his very early work with "Arthur's Museum", his work with Poison, Mr. Big and fusion projects with Greg Howe and Vertu. Man his style varies from the likes of Jason Becker, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan and Hip-Hop/Pop RnB he done it all.
YA one of the best players has some great roots and killer shredder and great tone always He is a gifted player , making this amp some like a TUBE AMP great demo even though I am a tube guy and main AXE IS THE TELE KOTZEN front pickup tone is better than a STRAT
Such a killer player!
Richie is a mad man...!
The Tone Master Series amps sound stiff AF, but the weight... man... perfect. Nothing beats them for the road.
00:41 his eyes, i can feel it man
Richie! Hell yeah
Espectacular! 😉👏👏👏
Richie isn't just a hotshot guitar player, he is a true musician.
Hey @Fender can you connect an extension cabinet to the new tone master amps?
Mr. Kotzen, ever amazing!
Lol...if you have the captions on, when Richie starts playing at 10:20, the captions literally say “guitar shredding.” That’s so funny to me!
Very unique guitarist
Richie is really good!
Best dual-threat musician today.
This man is a savage player/singer!!!
Great musician guitar genuis and professor of tones
Nice Amp, but in my taste prefer the 65 Deluxe reverb..Haha No plectrum was harmed during this demo footage! Kotzen is a genius!
My God. RK Finally !
From 10:08, is that tone straight from the amp? Any post-effects or pedals?
There really are few people who can rip on a guitar quite so hard as Ritchie.
Not only that, but he can write really powerful songs and sing his ass off too!
@@YesuAiNimen Best Rock voice since Chris Cornell!
The best!!!
Have anyone tried a Rat or other higher gain distortion pedal in front of these? I'm really curious how this will fare as a pedal platform for drive pedals.
Sounds great. How much does it weigh?
ABOUT DAMN TIME.
Finally they used DSP technology to not copy a processed sound, but to process sound signal coming raw from a guitar and being processed to a certain topology. Clever afterall.
I have a Line6 Helix, it's an impressive tool but RK is right when he says that these digital devices have too many details that can be modified so that sometimes (I mean, VERY often) it's very difficult to understand how to deal with the tones..I hope that the decision to employ the DSP for very few things will keep more space to improve the overal tone.I'd rather prefer to have ONE amplifier to do ONE thing in the best possible way than 300 at an average level
@@dariocrocetta9026 it's a matter of time until they release a bassman and a super reverb. Just depends on overall reception by the public.
Ok... Richie makes me wanna buy one o these!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😭😩🤷🏾♂️👏🏾👏🏾😂🎸💥
What I'd like to know; does the vibrato channel have that "bright cap" on the vibrato channel like the tube versions do? I HATE the bright cap - it makes my pedals sound weird, so I have to plug into the normal channel... but then I lose my reverb.
I am renting a TM twin and was loving it and about to buy it until tonight when I did some recording. I ABed the xlr out to an SM 57 and the XLR is muddy sounding and nothing like the 57 it is barley usable, also there is no real difference between position 1 and 2 on the IR switch. Do I have a malfunctioning unit, or did you or anyone here have similar experience or an idea of how to fix this?
and Fender - Please make a 12 pound Tonemaster Princeton 65 reverb with - That would be amazing!!!
Cool amps, both Twin and Deluxe RVB. I own both and sound, weight plus power soak make my life as a working musician who does practice at home a lot so much easier. And they take pedals really well. Downsides? Yes, unfortunately: Why on earth no reverb and vibrato for the normal channel as they introduced with some of the reissues? That would have been a subtle but so useful modernisation. And build quality, holy moly, Fender! My twin has glue stains all over the inside cabinet, it does not stand even on the floor, also the stands to tilt it back are uneven so tilted back the Twin wobbles, the bass control knob of the Normal Channel has some clearance. The footswitch of my Dlx Rvb broke down within days and Fender declares itself unable to send me a new one. But still and as mentioned before: Maybe not a collector's item, but workhorse amps for sure!
someone mentioned somewhere that there's no vibrato/reverb on the clean channel because these were developed in an age when a guitar and vocals might well both be running through the amp, so that the clean channel was for a mic, and then the other channel was for the guitar.
