QUAD CORTEX users finally got the updates they've been promised for 2 years. It was very nice of Fender to step and honor Neurals promises

What I love about this channel is you seem the most ‘normal’ of any review guy. You look like you could be my neighbor… yet have some of the best insight and non buzzword real passion behind it. Kudos

Absolutely the best interface, especially after owning 3 fractal, Kemper and helix. I have been scouring KZfaq looking for good sounds on the Tone Pro deluxe and haven't found any yet. I know there in there but can someone bring them out. This video is certainly the best I've heard so far. Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks for making this video! I got the Tone Master a few days ago and tried your settings and they sound fantastic. 🤟

Excellent review and demonstration, Jarrod. Well done. I just linked to your YT video over at the Fender TMP discussion thread on The Gear Page. Cheers, John

Great video! Thanks for doing this.

First impressions after 6 minutes: This is the first video where I like the sounds - might be your playing style - greez from Germany!

Awesome demo as always!!

That was a very interesting watch.Great playing and presenting.Thanks.

Hello Jarrod , thank you for doing this video if you watch Ola's video he was able to put 2 cabinets on the same amp with 2 different mic's, the cabinets are in parallel

Awesome out of the box demo Jarrod..! Impressive for a small modeler. Great unit for someone who wants to pop it into a backpack and take to a practice or simple setup at home with monitors. Awesome job!!🎸😃

Good demo and points about the profiling. To me, the profiling can always be added in an update, but Neural were just wrong to release QC without all those things they said it was going to have. They should just now be releasing it with the software to come in a couple of months. The good part is pretty much all these things sound great now. To me, all you have to do it pick one and go with it.

I think you can do a parallel signalchain and put 2 cabs parallel, then there is a mixer to blend and pan them. And where QuadCortex has 4 cores on the processor, that has 8 cores, so processingpower is plenty. Some representative mentioned updates every 6 months.

Damn. I am surprised. That thing sounds really good. Seriously and I love how you give us the real tone. Not some professionally mixed example. I still love my Helix but yeah this is nice.

The UI is impressive as heck. As to the price point, the fact that it has twice as many procs as the competitors and still manages to be in the same price range is kind of amazing (especially with the brand ego pricing) I’m holding out for now. Still have a love/hate relationship with my Helix

Glad you talked about the feel. I know you and me both can tell there is always something weird when you dig into the strings. I like the helix unit and how easy it is to use but the feel sucks. This unit seems to be everything I want in a new Helix since L6 is slow.

You Knocked it out of the Park, you said everything. For their survival it will come down to UPDATES, personally I would love to see a Magnatone amp. NO ONE has those in the Modelling Rhealm. There are a couple in the CAPTURE rhealm.

I really don't see why Fender would stop updating this unit. They are a huge player in the guitar market and make products for musicians. They also own Presonus and are pouring tons of R&D into the Studio One DAW. Fender and the TMP is not going anywhere and we can expect many years of updates to come.

Scribble strips are simply the best feature of any unit. I couldn't stand the QC because of that. Headrush Gigboard and Core show the readouts on the screen so its stil pretty easy. My TMP is coming today and I know I will love it right out of the box.

Man these digital floor units have come a long way.

Great video man!! Very impressed with this FTMP sounds amazing!Fender I need the TMP & a EVH Frankie for Christmas!thanks 😳🤟🏻😁

Great Job Jarrod! Ill stick with kemper and Quad!

How do you feel this model of the stealth compares to the real thing? I'd love to see a vid comparing the model on this and maybe the Quad Cortex with the real deal

I think I gotta stay with the QC, because of the profiling. I don't have endless cashflow so I got stay with works for me. This unit does seem pretty nice though. Straight to the point review as always. 👍

If they included the ability to profile and made it more affordable then it would be a winner... but as good as it is, I can't see it gaining much traction. Appreciate the down to earth review 🤟

Your flamed intro is very cool man 😎

Looks like Fender pretty much hit it out of the park with this release! It even comes with a PC editor right out of the box, and I believe one can load their own IR's. Tempting! Dude, you can dial in the best high gain sounds! All the other demos I've seen on it don't come close to getting your high gain sounds!

That seems pretty cool! The only modeler I have is the Marshall code 100 head and I don't even use it 😅it was cheap at Sweetwater a few years ago I run it to a 4X12 cab when I use it! It's fun bought it to save my tube heads during pandemic when there was a tube shortage, this Fender unit looks cool and easy so much gear ⚙️ pops up everyday Jarrod I can't keep up man ! Thanks for your always real reviews !🎃🍁🍂🍃🎸

Best review I have seen until now of this product. You are a monster to get fantastic sounds with a unit you don’t know. A true MASTER! Did you try the Mesa amps? What about them? Cheers!!! Bravo! 🥂

This unit seems really badass from all the reviews I've watched. More output choices than you'll ever need, super intuitive and it sounds better than the actual amps in many ways. I believe you can add a second cab and mic that one differently and blend them. You need to change the signal path to do that.

The TMP has the BEST user interface out of all of them. Hands down. Not even close. The interface is a game-changer. Having said that... a few negative points: Price is too high. It should come with a matching expression pedal. Limited amps and effects at launch. We don't even need an editor, the Interface is so easy to use. I would probably only use 3 or 4 of the amp models. The EVH Stealth for all the dirty stuff, and a couple of the Fender cleans. The design team spent a lot of time trying to nail the EVH Stealth channels. The EVH guys signed off on it, so they got it really close to the real thing. The Fender guy explained why modeling is better than profiling, and I think I agree with what he said. The Fender TMP directly competes with the Fractal FM9. The FM9 is it's closest competitor. The FM9 beats the TMP in terms of "tweakability", but the TMP crushes the FM9 with the super slick user interface. If I had to choose between those two units, i'm not even sure what I would do. The FM9 can do more, but the TMP is so easy to work with. If Fender can lower the price a bit, include a matching expression pedal, and provide regular updates, I think the TMP would dominate the market.

Line 6 killer or QC Killer

Great video as usual.

I will love if you tried the mesa boogie amps on the unit as well like the dual rec and the mark iic+ .The evh sounded great, sounds realistic like the amp .

SOUNDS GREAT.

Fender Tone Master pro sounds bad ass to my ears, great review of this pedalboard as usual bro. .🎸🎶 is like Fender the company are coming out with better stuff for Metal ever since the Fender machette and the EVH 5150 stealth until now, great amps and creat gead.

I’d like to see you review a Fractal fm3

Sounds v good tbh, i thought this would suck, would love an evh stealth comparison

Hey dude. Not sure if I have posted this before (apologies if I have), but the Mission SP1-TMP (co branded and custom paint) unlocks things like volume control, wah and a lot of cool creativity/control. Fender also made it reeeeally easy to set up the expression and the toe switch. Control up to 5 parameters at once and use the toe switch to turn off one or all effects. Be great to see a video covering this :-)

Liked. But have a Q and a comment not directly related to the topic: 1. Have you had a chance to re-try profiling the REVV on HR after the last firmware update? They claimed multiple bugfixes and improvements realated to profiling. 2. It always feels like your camera is in 30fps mode, the video is tad bit less smooth compared to many other YT videos.

The Tone Master Pro, the profiles look just like plug - ins, which makes it really cool?

I wish the starting price point was lower as well but I paid $1699 for a FM9 which is awesome but has no touch screen and the UI can be tricky. I think Fender is close to market value. I may have to pick one up and give her a go. Good Video...

You're awesome man! Great demo! I don't know if you ever did a shootout before, but how does it compare to the Headrush Prime? Which sounds closer to an actual amp sound? It looks cool!

would you prefer this unit or a split system like tone x and hx effects in your prior video?

Jarrod : Not in depth video...Hold my coffee 49 minutes later :)

Nice sounds. Are preset switch changes seamless, or do we have “snapshots “ and “scenes “? Do it use a standard iec cable or power supply? Apologies for the “air quotes “…😂

Looks and sounds great. But they’ve missed the market not having capturing. I want my real amps captured on the settings I like.

Alright, alright, Alright! Let's go!!!!!!!!

Hey Jarrod, great information here. Best I’ve heard by any demo person. How are you connecting to computer for recording this? Are you using USB? Or coming out of outputs to an interface? Right now, I’m going into my apogee diet 2 via break out cables. Are you kinda doing the same? Or are you using SPDIF? Would any of these scenarios after the overall tone? Thanks in advance! 👍 ✌️ Jason

Here’s the main question does it have a pitch shifter ??

Well, for $1700, it better be good. I would choose this over an FX9...Wish it had some "power" to it (..for a cab..) Still won't replace m Kemper..It's prett badass I must admit. Good job Fender.

I’m glad you don’t need a manual cos there doesn’t seem to be one

Fender: If you're listening pay attention to @44:30 to @44:48 Listen on repeat until it sinks in. You had better make this a feature in a firmware update ASAP.

I think you should reach out to Fender and get one of these units. You have dialed in the best metal tone on KZfaq yet.

Nice What Fels bettet, the real amp or the Modeler?. You make a great Job. Greatings from Hamburg

Woohhhh kinda surprised by this new modeller here, sounds fantastic and I am sure it feels good too after you have mentioned it Just one thing I wanted to see is having seamless switching between presets if it doesn’t have scenes and also wana see that the delay spillovers are transparent and has No audio gaps while changing presets. Wana see more video on these topics man 😊

I think if we compare all the modelers, for me the Kemper still rules the way I use it, almost all the amp you can buy or download, the effect is another story, thats in the profile or not, but look at all the backlines and guitar rigs from amateur to pro, its still Kemper

What speaker system are you using? I would like to see the fender speaker test. Thanks.

Starting to like this thing. I'm all about ease of use

Hi, man! I have a qustion: in a recording scenario is it ok to make sublte changes in the tone of your guitar from one track to other? For instance, if I'm using the amp X for all the tracks it would sound ok if in some of the tracks I blend the amp X with amp Y and in some other the amp X with amp Z, but trying to make the amp X sound the standard one for the majority of time? Thank you!

This is almost an Overloud TH-U clone. I like it.

Can you have patches on the bottom row and toggle effects etc on the top row of switches?

I have the Fender GTX100 and most of this is in it. The GTX is $500, has a 100w, a 12” celestion speaker, and those graphics are available on the PC or Phone app. Of course this floor model has extra bells and whistles like the IRs and mic placements. So In my simple brain, the floor model is over priced (especially with no profile tech) or the GTX is a phenomenally cheap amp modeler. Regardless, great video as usual. By the way, Fender has a reputation of not following through with updates. If Fender brings new models to the market (more Mesa, Bogner, Soldano, MB, ENGL, etc…) then I might see jumping on one.

I’m not sure if this is in the same realm as the Tonex with captures vs modeling, but does the Tonex hold its own (depending on capture quality) compared to this guy?

You can run two cabs, each with it's own mic.

You should have updated to the latest firmware and done a factory reset from the get go. I can tell from the preset list that you're not running the latest and greatest.

Careful. If you keep playing that Fender Deluxe preset, your next video you’ll be sitting there with a Strat playing blues. 😂

Fender had a head start with the editor for their GTX modeling amp. I'm not a metal guy, so my Headrush Prime does everything I need it to at a better price point and an even better price with their new Core model.

So no disclaimer?

What mobile editor?

It's a wait and see with Fender. What kind of support they have for it over the next couple years. They have no track record with this where Helix and Fractal have a proven history of support. Helix especially, Fractal has dropped support for some older products. Fender will have to prove themselves.

I think capturing is kinda irrelevant now with this amount of control

Damn 1699 =1700.00😂 ! Not going to do it ! Would be nice but these days there is no disposable income, for young guys and guys gigging not for a poor old 62 young guy like me a kid of the 60's oh well 🤷 the donner arena is more realistic for a home bound guitarist. 😂

A lot of the products aka Quad Cortex

more importantly...wheres your mullet?

25:10 lol

Folks : looks really nice but IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! You are entering the modeler game now, you do not have a tradition and consistency as a software/hardware company and you are already charging this product as top notch. I’m sorry, but it’s not. beside a great UI you are not offering anything different than other modelers. The IRs you are offering are not drastically different or better than the modelers in the market cheaper than Yours)- honestly, Fractal IRs are better than yours. Would I buy this modeler: if it was cheaper, yes. At the current price tag, NO WAY!!!! And by the way: I am a huge Fender Fan!!

Kinda funny…Quad Cortex costed what it did with half the processors. These guys double it, at alot less and suddenly the cat’s outta the bag, the Quad Cortex drops to the same price the day it comes out…with still half the processing?

Seems like a cool product for the technically challenged lol I dont know who else this is for though.

Dealers on Reverb are already sending me offers for $1400-1500. Fender absolutely dropped the ball.

Far too much gain on those tones, it sounded both woofy and fizzy 😬

Cleans sound great on most modelers. Also, this thing should be under $500. NO WAY it is worth what they are asking. You can grab a FM9 for that price. FAR better unit sans the old UI.

Don't lose sight of the fact that anyone getting paid or supported by any particular brand or company product, can also throw a subtle red herring to give a favourable or less than favourable review for their main supporter of any competitors product. linking kickbacks is not a healthy start likewise, I'm out.

Be honest, it is mostly rubbish. What I like- the UI. The I/O, Seemless Switching. The BAD- 1980's Zoom pedal TONE. Very fizzy and digital sounding. I hope Fractal is paying attention and one day decides to update their terrible UI. Fratal tones are amazing.

Pedalera para ricos. Sonido plastico filtrado . Sonido sucio. No real. Sonido no natural. Buen marqueting para sacar la pasta.

There is a high end hiss on every single demonstration I've heard that is irritating to my ears. I don't think it is worth the price.

all they need is bass amps

This Fender is an eight cores machine as confirmed from one of their technicians. There is no logical reason why Fender doesn't want implement the profiling technology. The machine is super powerful, it's designed in a proper way, and sounds very good. It lacks profiling but sooner or later they will be forced to introduce this feature in the machine. You bet.

Tutto ok.. ma Kemper Forever the best Kemper 😉
