Both amps sound great to me, if not identical.If I were listening blind, I would not be able to tell which amp had tubes. It would be even harder to tell the difference in the mix with a band. I am 75 years old and bought the Tonemaster Deluxe (black) for three very important reasons. Weight, attenuation, and reliability. I travel weekly to gig with my gear in the back of my golf cart over cobble stone streets, going from hot Florida humidity into air conditioning. I have had it for over 3 years and it has been perfect.
Sounds like You’re enjoying life!
Sounds like a great gig!
I have a tone master twin and I actually had to adjust the knobs to "tone match". If you dial it in instead of using the "same settings" you WILL BE AMAZED by the tone master. That is all.
I think the phone camera is actually the best way to go. It sounds more like how the amp sounds in the room as opposed to close mic. In any case, great review!
Would be good if you had tone matched rather than setting the knobs in the same position.
I've been giging the tone Master Blonde. and i love it and i use a Helix for all effects no modeling. and at 24 lbs. my back loves it to. i use the attenuator depending on the room or outside i can turn the attenuator down and crack up the volume and get some really great tones and i can set it up to get nice feedback. i play just about everything but no Metal. o and i'm a tube snob.
If you are on a budget the Tone Master is good but the Tube Deluxe is on another level! Science is catching up but the Tube Deluxe is still King! Great Demo Duane! :)
hard decision, I have to buy something to play, I was thinking about Prince 64 or Deluxe 64. Old fenders are very expensive. I'm from Europe.
do you have experience of the old Delaxe and the new one. Is there a big difference?
@@tomaszblazejowski735 hey ,
I’ve recently bought a Deluxe custom 64 and I couldn’t be happier.The reverb and vibrato are stellar !!!
The dynamic of the amp is so beautiful ,it’s really a musical instrument by itself,guitar straight into the amp it’s tone heaven.If you can afford it you won’t regret !
I just bought it, it should arrive home tomorrow Do you plan to change speakers in the future?
@@tomaszblazejowski735 Nope,
I like it exactly how it is with the jensen ,I’m gonna keep it like that .But I’m not the kind of guy who modifies his gear.I would be happy to have your opinion if you do it.Let me know…
@@grochat8199 this is how I will change the speaker, too little midrange, so far I am looking for the right speaker
To be honest in my opinion the Tone Master sounded much warmer and better than the all tube hand wired amp. 🤘✌️
Awesome playing. The tone master with humbuckers and od sounded great to me, but that ‘64 deluxe is so much sweeter
I have the Blonde Deluxe. Absolutely amazing for the price. I would expect a Custom Deluxe Reverb amp that is nearly 3x the price sounds better. Lol. It better! But that Tone Master is the best bang for the buck.
Looking for a clean SURF amp, my first choice would be the 64 CUSTOM DELUXE REVERB, but I am not sure if it would be too loud for just at home? Get mixed comments from people but one person did say this, ''For playing at low to moderate home levels, the DRRI is one of the best sounding amps around. For strictly home use you might also look at the Princeton Reverb reissue; it has the same control layout as the DRRI vibrato channel (single channel with two inputs) and the same preamp and power tubes (6V6, but biased hotter), the vibrato is superior (uses a tube circuit to modulate the effect rather than an optical "bug"). And the vibrato knobs are always active unless you use the foot switch.
So if you want to push the amp itself a bit harder the breakup will come at a little less volume.'' And then another person says, ''No the DRRI isn't suitable for bedroom use it suffers from the problem all fender valve amps have nothing happens on the volume till about 4 then its too loud''. Then, ''I've owned both a DRRI and a PRRI out of the two the PRRI is more suited for home use. Both amps still need to be turned up to 4 before you can get a full sound out of them below that they are thin with little bottom end.'' Then the last one, ''Yes, you will be able to use it at less than ear shattering volume. If you like the amp, go fro it. I use mine at home all the time, no problem, Volume settings 2 to 4, depending on the time of day or who else is in the house. If you get together to play with friends, it's all there as well. GREAT AMP!'' See what I mean? So what do you think? Thank You!
I just got a tonemaster twin and its the best. 33lbs and forget about messing with tubes while saving your back!
hows the tone?? legit reverb??? thanks
@@soofitnsexy it sounds great. I just recorded it on my channel through the speaker emulator out.
@@ES175jazz thanks!
@@soofitnsexy Here is my two cents......I have the Tonemaster twin and I really like it. However I use a reverb pedal as the TM's reverb was just too splashy for me. Your opinion may vary.
@@johnwelsh2769 i tried a few here in nyc...the reverbs on the tmasters are just horrible otherwise nice amps!
All things considered....Tone Master. 👍
Excellent video Duane. If you put a Boss Blues Driver in the front of that Tonemaster, and set the gain on the pedal low, it brings the amp to life. The Celestion speakers however, do make it a little too warm for me. They are a great design though. Your custom DR has a beautiful sweet tone...as does your playing.
The tube amp is hard to beat!
I have a TM Princeton, also play jazz with a 335 through it - it’s tighter than my 66’ bandmaster- and I actually prefer that, notes and chords are better defined - that was an issue with the bandmaster, back when I played an SG in my rock days - although it’s Aldo the guitars too - mahogany on the SG is softer then maple on the 336
i usually put nos preamp tubes at v1 and v2 on blackface amps for better tone and versatility
for jazz and humbuckers a vintage ge 12ax7wa will be great ,you can use a mullard or a rca at the other channel. enjoy!
I like Sylvania 12ax7s
I have the tone master deluxe reverbe with the jensen speaker and i am very happy, sounds great , i imagine that the ‘64 deluxe can be better for the sound but also tone master versatility with attenuator is nice
Lovely K-Line Springfield though...
Great video! Which Carr amp do you have and how does it compare to the Deluxe?
I have a Sportsman and an Impala. The Sportsman is a 19 watt version of a Princeton Reverb. It really has its own sound and does not sound like a Deluxe Reverb. The Sporstman is amazing and was a warmer tone, with some tweed vibe thrown in. I'm very blessed to have both.
I really enjoyed the video! Could you put a Jensen in the blonde TM? Or would it be better to get the blackface TMDR and get the firmware for the brightcap clip?
I am about to pull the trigger on a TMDR, but don’t know which. I play blues/rock/county on Strat, Tele, LP and 335. and will want to use pedals. Really I’m wondering about the speakers. Thanks!
Great playing!
Try the tonemaster super reverb. It's great.
Can’t stop playing through that 64.. 😂
I just want to buy a Deluxe 64 and I'm wondering?
TM all things considered
do not love the world or anything in it
Frank Zappa put it best,shut up and play your guitar
Way too much talk........
Way too much talk, and too many commercial interuptions.
Tone"wanna be" Master IMO
Can you get the tremolo speed as low on the Tone Master as on the handwired?
