Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb Review: The World's Most Giggable Amp

that's the most overpriced junk i've ever seen or heard. It'll never appreciate either not in a thousand years.

that tele is so beautiful man

I have a reissue I bought used ~10 years ago that I loaded with Mercury Magnetics transformers. You need to tell Fender to give you a commission, because you sold me one.

A rare but wonderful thing….a reviewer who makes it about the amp in question rather than himself. Truly informative. Thankyou.

I'm leaning toward the Blonde version, with the Celestion speaker. But, at $1K, I don't know. Seems like a lot for solid state amp.

TURN IT UP! Need to know if it has the guts to keep up with a band!!!!!!! And quit hacking at that guitar. Obnoxious.

is it pine plywood? or solid ?

Considering the Deluxe Reverb reissue tube amp was my favourite I’ve ever owned, I’m excited for this. I’m likely going to sell my Blues Junior and buy this. Sounds amazing, everything I loved about the tube version and more.

Really like mine😎👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖

Oh boy, that ‘nothing compares to you’ lick! ❤

That is why I play a Peavey delta blues at home only. The katana head at a gig!

Tube amp snob for several decades, just how old are you? You seem like a youngster. Maybe you been tube amp snob since 4

Just played a show with another band who used one of these. I thought to myself the tone was so so good and then I realized it was a tone master, not the Deluxe reissue.

How come there is no gain knob? The amp has no gian, that stinks

Hi Eric, I'm considering getting a Tonemaster so loved your video here. However, I have a Fender Tele with Bigsby despite getting the softer spring still doesn't;t stay in tune as well as I'd like.
How do you find the bridge on your guitar here for tuning, and what is it?

You might want to keep your shoes on while handling anything electrical. It's easier to get electrocuted with bare feet. Just sayin...

Dude that tone at the end... Robin Trower love. I got the twin tone master, have you tried that? I'm blown away by it. Hypnotising to play

Wouldn't it be cool if Fender did the same with other great amps such as late 50's twin and baseman, Marshall's, and VOX's?

Dude, that thing sounds like class D ass all the way. It managed to hit that shitty singey sound note for note.
Sorry, I've watched your other videos and know you have a good ear....but wtf happened to your ears with this thing ?

Is it just me, or is the note-by-note response absolutely flat? Sure the fundamental tone sounds nice, but there’s no expression dynamic in the course of a solo, or a succession of chords; the response is level; a tube amp gives you a changing dynamic as you play; can no-one else hear that?

Sounds so much better without the OD pedal. Can't stand that fuzzy speaker sound so many admire. I have the TM Twin reverb and even without a pedal its got a raspy distorted tone over 5 on volume knob. My old Tube Twin stays clean.

No brainer this is a robot!!!

Tube snob forever - no inspiration with this amp.

Still solid state transistors - if u savior your back buy one - if you savior your art buy tube

Should I pick one up for $854?

hello. I bouht deluxe reverb just a day ago. but mine has more noise than yours. Did you use noise gate? your amp has no noise..

I see you have the 1956 radiator vent head in the back there. Soft yellow, very tasteful

What is your tube amp that you use?

TY for a review.

I’ve had the deluxe reverb tone master for the last 6 months or so can say it is BY FAR the best gigging amp I have ever used. Reliable, lightweight and sounds BETTER than any deluxe reissue I’ve ever played. Plus the attenuator is amazing to have. This is coming from someone who has owned every reissue, and a tone king imperial and I still prefer this guy. Just bought a twin for more headroom if I need it.

I see this video is a couple of years old. Do you still have this amp? Is it still under warrenty? Is it still working ok? I only ask because my amp tech will not/can not fix this kind of tech..
Love your vids by the way.

Who gave Andy dick a guitar!?

Did you play Nothing Compares to you?

Elsa and Anna

NEO - DIM - EE - UM . Looks nice. Real nice tone..

I'm thinking seriously about selling one of my 3 Princeton Reverb amps and getting one of these. I'll have money left over to get some other stuff also. The more I hear this amp the more I like it.

Has an amazing tone.

Great personality for reviews mate, great watch, my TM will arrive this week

It IS my fave amp of all time, and I’ve had… many.

Hey great demo thanks . Did you do the firmware update or have you lost it stock . ? Cheers

Man that is a gorgeous tele. What pickups do you have in it?

Late to this party, but man your playing is so great. I feel that your playing brings out the best in this combo. And you convinced me to get a Deco.

👍👍👏👏👏👏👍👍

Great review! - What model tele is that?

Hi Eric - very helpful video. I'm considering buying this Amp and this helped. Questions - how is the response with a humbling classic rock guitar? There's no mids on the Amp. Does that hurt tone?

How load is it?

Love this channel! Is this amp loud enough to hang with a drummer?

My problem with the Tonemasters is the cost. A Champion 40 is a Fender amp that uses software modelling and offers a bunch of models for a couple of hundred bucks. Perfectly reasonable price for the tech. A Tonemaster uses the same technology, but only does one amp model, and yet costs more than many good tube amps. Sorry, but wtf Fender? Yes, I know, that they've put more into the Tonemaster whereas they cheap out on the Champions and treat them like second rate practice amps, but c'mon. Amp simulation software is a tech that is offered for free or virtually for pennies on smart phones. Tonemasters should be priced somewhere between the prices of Champions and the prices of the cheapest tube amps, at similar wattages.

I just bought this amp and love it! You don't even mention the amazing recording options including XLR output, two IR options and software upgrades!

This sounded incredible, your guitar and playing might not be a small factor in that

What an awesome chap 👍 great demo. Love your channel.
