Happy Blonde Tonemaster Deluxe owner here. I did upgrade the speaker to an Eminence GA-SC64 which sweetened the tone, but the biggest tone upgrade was replacing the knobs with cream knobs!

I’m 63 and still gig about every weekend, I have many top of the line tube amps, like a Fender 59 Bassman, Marshall JTM, Suhr Bella, 57 Tweed Deluxe, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, etc…, but my main gigging amp is my Fender Tonemaster Deluxe, I gig with it mainly because of all the reasons you mentioned in your video. Thanks for the comparison.

That's an impressive list of gear. I gigged just about every weekend until COVID hit. Now I'm doing mainly sound gigs. If I were still gigging regular, I likely would have a Tone Master. 63, you're a baby. I'm 72.

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer I've seen a few of these demos. I'll point to 2 things. Tube amps are not dead yet! Look at the price point of Tone masters . Roughly two thirds the cost of it's tube brother. One opinion suggests Fender do not want to wipe out the market for their tube amps! That's why it's not selling for $200. Plus they are built and made in the US or Mexico. Aside from the main amp section- but that's like most electronic goods today ..that adds to the cost.

I was going to get a DR Tonemaster but ended up getting a Quilter Cub50 instead which I’m very happy with. It’s all analog and is the best SS amp I’ve ever played. It’s not a distortion monster but has plenty of headroom and takes pedals well, it has a nice tubish tone and feel. It’s a great amp I’m really impressed!

Absolutely agree!! I own a clean birth year 71 deluxe that I had capped/retubed about 6 years ago. Bought the blackface tone master almost 2 years ago…..did the firmware update and put a celestion in it I had laying around. Did this same test with an A/b box…..was almost uncomfortable with how similar they are. Really really didn’t want it to be this good!! Is it 100% exact…..nope, but the difference is easily offset by the weight difference. I’m getting kinda vintage myself. 😢 It does have a slight cardboardy/sterile immediacy to it, but playing live and loud now when I bring an antique tuber I’m noticing more there are things that I don’t exactly love almost as much…….ie loading it in the SUV at 2:00 in the morning!!

I love mine. I own both the TM Twin and TM Deluxe. I mainly use the Twin for straight ahead jazz gigs where I need a lot of clean headroom and use the Deluxe for everything else. I don’t use much overdrive and like that on the edge tone that breaks up only when digging in. The Deluxe kills at that. The cab simulators cover live PA gigs and recording situations. I’ve sold most of my boutique tube amps and the rest just sit in a closet now along with my Kemper. Sound great and weigh next to nothing, they’re worth the money.

Nice video thanks. I enthusiastically bought the TM Twin Reverb when they came out, as an old TR and DR user for years, but it just didn't have the top end glassiness or transparency of the tube amp, especially noticeable in A/B tests I did with friend's amps. Did a few gigs with the TM but ended up selling it- good amp all the same. I tried the TMDRs and the same thing with the top end compared to tube versions, gigged and sold them too. I feel the TM amps are quite good neutral sounding guitar amps put in a Fender case, but the tube versions are noticeably a little better and more distinct. Love the lightweight of the TMs, but now I'm back to my Vox AC15, and a small hand trolley to lug the heavy little sucker around- it's worth it. Fender may still do more software development on the TMs to make that top end a little more natural? if so I think I could be tempted again.

Hey Bob, excellent video. best sounding tone master i've heard. I tried the blackface version and did not like it. it sounded sterile, thin and pretty much like a solid state amp. perhaps i should give the blonde a try after your vid. what do you think of a tweed pro junior iv compared to a blonde tone master deluxe? I'm looking to buy an amp for my travels so it's a toss up between a tone master and a pro junior tweed iv. the tone master amps i am keen on is the blonde deluxe or princeton vs a tweed pro junior iv. what do you think?

@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer 7 ай бұрын

The tweed amps are usually a completely different animal. Very little headroom in a tweed, usually. I've never tried the pro junior tweed, though. The deluxe is more of a clean amp, a great pedal platform amp. I do like the blonde tone masters better than the black ones I've tried.

@dimitrioskarastamatis4919 Ай бұрын

I believe that the Tone Master is perfect for gigging, but I would have a tube amp for home purposes, love to have that perfect sound at home, gigging is different, the Tone Master is great bc of weight and sound, you can't tell the difference on stage with all the other musicians, sounds and guitarist concentrating on keeping it together! Tube at home were sound is what you live for, and great sounding stage solid state, light as possible amps for live work, my humble opinion.

Bob , i have an original 65 deluxe reverb but I’m tired to carry that thing around , i was thinking to get a Princeton tone master but I’m wondering whether it is loud enough without a PA

@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer 4 ай бұрын

The TM Princeton is rated at 50w. It should keep up with an actual tube Princeton. No doubt tube amps are louder than solid state. I don't think it will keep up with a tube Deluxe. You might want to try the TM Deluxe. It's rated at 100w and should easily keep up with a tube Deluxe. Check out the new cream ones, they sound great. Those things are way lighter than a tube Deluxe. I guess it depends on how loud your band is. I've done gigs with a tube Princeton clone, but those were small band small club things.

@darwinsaye 2 ай бұрын

The biggest differences you would be hearing would be because those blonde Tone Masters have a software change. With the original black Tone Master Deluxe, people complained that they wanted the simulated bright cap out of the circuit, and they wanted the reverb more mild. The Blonde TM represents a modified Deluxe. It also has a Celestion speaker instead of the proper Jensen (which is sacrilege to me). I bet if you had an original Black Tone Master to compare with that real one, the result would be much much closer.

@StephaneLegout 4 ай бұрын

The « real » Deluxe has more compression and sounds better to my ear. And nothing beats a real tube reverb, I love the one that’s on my Princeton 68´ Reissue 👍🏻, so musical ! But the Tonemaster is a good amp 👍🏻!

To really hear the difference, you need to be in the room. They do sound very much the same to me. I've not had a chance to use one on stage, which I think would really be defining.

I like how you put it in perspective of "gigging" . The hernia test made me laugh cause that is one of the reasons I bought a new rig . I have a Fender Hot Rod Deville and I swapped the stock speakers for Vintage 30's . That made the amp even heavier in weight . The handle is made out of hard rubber but over time I know what could happen LOL . There is a difference in tone and the Vintage Deluxe IMO sound better . But the compromises in tone for the weight and durability would make it worth it . Plus vintage Fender amps are going up in price . They are getting harder to find , especially in great shape like yours . Then there's the tube issues . But also , you want to enjoy you vintage amp . You could change it up now and then to lessen the wear & tear on your vintage . Great video , I just subscribed !

What you say is true only so long as tubes continue to be available in reasonable quantities and at prices the average player can afford. The future of tube production is uncertain at best. In the meantime, my Boss Katana 100 Mk 1, purchased in 2016, is still going strong and sounds as good as new. If it should ever become unrepairable, I can easily afford to buy a new one. (That's obviously not the case with Fender's more expensive Tone Masters.) I won't argue that digital solid-state amps sound quite as wonderful as high-quality tube amps, but they hold their own and are a lot more durable than tube aficionados generally give them credit for.

@hage713 5 ай бұрын

@@gordonlewis7570 Tubes are an expense you don't have with solid state. I am not familiar with the Boss. The TM is the first solid state amp I've tried that feels like a tube amp. One advantage I see with the TM is it should always sound like it has fresh tubes. Again, the big question is how long it will last before breakdown.

Well, you’ll be paying about 4x more for the real deal…maybe more. Do the math and add in repairs/maintenance and it doesn’t work. Upside is IF (or when) the ToneMaster doesn’t work and you feel like going tube, you can either run the TM as a cabinet or since it’s the same chassis as the tube one, you can have it built into a wired up custom tube amp. 👊😎
