Richie Kotzen Tests Out The Tone Master Twin Reverb | Fender Amplifiers | Fender

2.000? Fender No. Made China jajajajaja

YEAH, SIMPLE.. RIGHT. THAT MUST BE WHY HE USES MARSHALL JCM800'S LIVE.

The man 🔥

Sweet demo but we all know he doesn't use these lol. What a monster player :). Ill take his victory amp any day.

Richie is really good!

Just so anyone knows, Richie WITH a pick plays FAR better than most shredders around the world....BUT, he plays without a pick so we can all commit suicide faster.

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!

Nice to watch one of these gear videos featuring someone that can actually play the guitar well. These YT channels dedicated to gear reviews...they are all just horrible guitarists and it's very hard to tell if the gear is any good or not.

💚

What??? Thats digital? It looks and sounds like an old Twin!

His tone is beautiful but man did I fall in love when he played with the tremelo/vibrato

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.

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.

Great musician guitar genuis and professor of tones

Listen up, Vox. want an AC-30 like this!

You want to turn a Tone Master into a Super Tone Master...?

Put the Fender MTG Tube Distortion Pedal in front of it.
It gives it that warm-tube feeling & sound that fills the room just like tube amps do.
Very low gain / high volume settings to keep it clean.
Up the gain lower the volume to get tube break up / dirty / distortion.
HIgh mids if you want that sound.
It is basically now your pre-amp, a tube one.

Fender should make this pedal mandatory with each amp, it is THAT good of a combination.
I did it to the Twin, and I assume it would have same affect to the Deluxe.

On top of that I bought both Black and Twin to compare, and ended up swapping the speakers.
So it now has 1 British Celestion and 1 American Jensen speaker because I am a picky dumb ass who couldn't decide which one to keep. By accident I discovered that this is an amazing combination that HAS to be HEARD to be believed. With the pedal it is like a Boutique amp turning this into a Super Super Tone Master that can play any style you want with tube realism, yet with digital control for various volumes you want to play at ---The big TM advantage in first place

Problem with swap: Now I have 2.
Sweetwater is very open with returns as they agreed to let me return one after testing both, but obviously I cant return a modded amp.

For Sale: 1 Amazing Super Super Tone Master Twin Reverb -- Austin Texas.

Anyone who says this amp doesnt sound good with pedals like the ds1 are just being misleading...maybe the original didnt but this tonemaster twin does.Set your treble about 7..mids about 5 and bass about 4.The DS1 tone you keep between 9-10 oclock and dial Dist to your genre taste

What a master! I love his style 😎

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!!!

So this is what Jack white would look like if he never did coke.

Some people can make a broomstick 🧹 sound good 🤷🏼‍♂️. I’m not one of them lol 😆

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.

This man is a savage player/singer!!!

Kotzen should demo all amps. Period.

Richie is a wannabe Earl Slick.

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

How much money do you get for that bullshit advertisement?

🤛😎

So it’s not tube ,,Hugh!
Sorry man deal breaker for me. Might be heavy that’s where roadies are for
And nothing still can compare to true tube tone,,,period. Sorry Ritchie Luv ya man .
But this will be a hard pass!

He is absolutely unreal! His talent makes me sick. lol

Great guitarist but, as with many of these demos, there’s a lot of showing off. I want to know what the thing will sound like with more basic cowboy chords!

Richie, stutter a bit and blink a lot it Fender is forcing you to "like" digital moodeling...

Hey @Fender can you connect an extension cabinet to the new tone master amps?

nope

Just love he’s technique. These days I’m gravitating towards playing finger style electric guitar.

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. 👍

great presentation.

One of the most cheese antishedder wanna bees ever made

Good move, Fender !!!
….getting Richie K to demo your new ToneMaster Twin!!
VERY persuasive.

I love this amp. I use a pair of them for my Rhodes piano

I highly doubt he uses this amp. But I also I highly doubt that I know what I’m taking about 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jerry Reed right hand techniques!!!

Would the Tone Master sound any different / better if swapped with original C12K speakers ?
Thanks,

The one addition that should have been a no brainer for Fender is an fx loop. Sorely missed, because this is where you put looper pedals and generally, delay pedals.

that was RUFF wanted some insight to amp still waiting

Nobody knows how to fix them when they break

He has the amp set flat. I would roll off some of the bottom end.. It woofs on these amps.

Richie Kotzen, the jazziest gunslinger in the west.

Kotzen basically decided he would rather be true to himself and more a Bruce Springsteen style honest song writer, than a Steve Vai type uber shredder God.
He got the Steve Vai out of his system early on.
When kotzen turned up to gigs looking like the sexiest mechanic on earth, with a telecaster and no plectrum it really pissed people off.
Think he used to even hang out with Bruce Springsteen.
