John is such a great player, very knowledgable and super humble. I don't think a lot of commenters know how prolific a session and live player John is. On top of that he is super humble and one hell of a nice guy. Making personal comments is simply a waste of everyone's time. If you don't like it you can choose one of the gazillion other KZfaq videos.

Your playing over that progression at the beginning hits in the feels, man. Absolutely beautiful. Great review, too. Thanks for posting.

It's so nice to hear John play...

The pure Fender tone when you played "Wicked Game" was sublime and when you kicked in that overdrive pedal.. i had to re-play that section just to believe my ears! Those Two total opposite tones that sounded so dam good.. sold it for me! Im 61 years old and playing since i was 14, Had everything over the years inc Marshall stacks and i as tell the young kids these days, let your ears be the decider, If it sounds good to you, then it'll sound good to most people and that simple demo was spectacular in getting across exactly what our ears are listening to and how good this really is. Great playing too John

Sounds absolutely perfect to me and the extra features are awesome.

I am amazed that was modeling. It sounded better than most to me. Excellent review as always John, well done!

This is a brilliant idea - well done Fender, I'd definitely buy this!

I’ve had my Tone Master deluxe now for about a week and I love it! I just used it in rehearsal- plugged in direct and also mic’d the cab and it sounded incredible. The sound guy was blown away. He thought I was using my tube DRRI. It’s so convenient and easy to use...I hope fender makes more of these!

Dang, John, your playing is absolutely incredible.

Great demo and great sounding amp! Can't wait to check one out!

I've had this amp for about a year and I still love it to death every time I turn it on!

Man oh man John that opening instrumental of I Can't Stop Loving you was heaven sent. Bravo.

Had mine for little over a year. I love it! It’s VERY important to me that it weighs only 23 pounds! I don’t need an effects loop but I would like an extension speaker jack.

John that was an awesome version of I can’t stop loving you. And a great demo of this awesome amp

Wow. Excellent playing as usual, John.

Seems a good amp, light with a lot of features. Good thorough review and great playing as usual. Thx.

Great rendition of “Can’t stop loving you” John! And a very cool review, interesting new amp.

I greatly appreciate your review of these amps. I have to admit I'm still a little skeptical about modeling amps, but your review makes me want to give this amp a closer look. Thanks.

Best intro ever...absolutely beautiful man!

I own a 67 deluxe reverb with a G12H 30 in it. Just played a One of these Tone Master Deluxes and was very impressed . Sounds like tubes to me !

Ah, the sound it was meant to make in the intro. Beautiful!

Lovely review and playing! Cheers.

as i watched this [great vid btw ] i had my 60s pro reverb plugged in and played along,it sounded as good as my real deal.especially cab 2 sim.i want one .this will be my next amp

I gig on vintage tube Fenders all the time, and I am mystified by the assertion they are a pain in the ass. Tweed and Blackface amps are so solid they will last forever with basic care.

Thanks PG! Thanks John!

John, great video !! Thanks for sharing !!!

Excellent demonstration . I’ve got mine on order! Nice playing BTW.

Love that cranked tone. That's the sound I hear on many classic rock recordings

These things are blowing me away..

Always sounding spot on John! A little older ,a little wiser! Peace!

Great review. Most informative than other reviews. Thanks

Great version of I can’t stop loving you. Thanks for that. Cool demo as well.

Nice ... Just to mention: the Cabinet Sim does work on the XLR output! Please refer to owners manual Page 2: - CABINET SIM: When using XLR BALANCED LINE OUTPUT (T), this switch offers three different tonal options-a flat, uncolored amp signal without speaker cabinet emulation (OFF); and two impulse response (IR) profiles emulating different speaker/microphone-placement combinations (1 and 2). So hearing sometimes is believing (;-) Best regards ...

I Just bought this amp. It sounds fantastic. Best purchase I ever made.

Thank you. What a great review!

Gotta love the converses with the duck tape.... now that's classic!

I must learn that intro rendition of I cant stop loving you. Well done.

John's review finally kinda sold me. Nice & light w/balls to the wall accurate reproduction. My trusty '65 twin has been in my bros crawl space in San Rafael for 6 years. Shipping it back east, alone would kill me. My back and ears really like the new tone-pro concept for half the price. Perhaps time to unload my 3 mustangs (& maybe even my pre CBS twin). Hope it's not another reoccurring curse of the early adopter ( i.e. 3 mustangs). Fenders logic seems sound, this time around. However, my dog could hear the difference

Nice tele deluxe. I have near enough the same model, though lighter in colour, but the date for mine is around 1974. A very unique sounding guitar.

Great video, John! Your review solidified my decision to buy one of these babies. Now what I really need is a tab for your tasty rendition of I Can't Stop Loving You!

Wow that opening section so cool! Watched this a few times today really fancying one of these or a twin :)

Excellent review and amp, I will very likely be buying this model, I have a great sounding tube head now, but then there's the 412 cabinet, or the still very large 212 cabinet lol. And thanks a ton for the awesome lick, 7:25 , one of those super cool licks you can noodle around on during a sound check etc. Awesome.

Masterful playing👍

Those first triple stop bends you did were sa-weeet!

Great review John! PG and Andertons are the only reviews worth watching.

Nice demo. Thanks.

watched a few demos before coming here. This demo has sold me tho. I w be buying one tomorrow. Thanx John

My TMDR is on the delivery truck. The verb sounds devine @4:30 with that amazing strat. Great, EASY demo... I'm hoping it sounds as good in person (AND through the XLR out to the band's mixer!)

John it sounds awesome Brother and your an awesome guitar player as well my friend !!!

While my 58 year old ears love tubes, my 58 year old back doesn't seem to be in love with them anymore. I may need to look at one of these. Thanks for the heads up!

Introduction playing superb

Wow,,, Very cool,,,, I know traditionalists will balk, but this is the wave of the future, and as us pros get older having a light weight amp will take stress off our lower backs and by the fact we can go direct into a PA makes it even more enticing. Good Job FENDER!!!!

This is an interesting concept but I wonder how well they’ll sell. John always makes everything sound good!

sublime playing man!

Lovely intro there man! 😁

Yeah its almost here. I got lots of tube amps but crap what a hassle. did pick up the Yamaha THR 10 amp....play it all the time at the house , its perfect. Yeah tubes are just about history

4 years later, I couldn’t hold off any longer. I’ve got one incoming, I can’t wait...

I could be into a Princeton version. Would be a breeze the carry around the city when backline or decent PA aren't possibilities.

Great playing friend I play surf music and had the old school amp but reverb is real touchy does reverb still have a drip

Dig the quick taste test. Would like a thorough exploration of: Does it sound like a digital amp? How close does it capture the best aspects of tube: warmth with clarity, sweet attack and feel, responsive to dynamics of how you play?

Nice touch with Wicked Game 👌👍

You can tell John likes his motorcyles the way he likes his guitars: old and characterful. He's still wearing a selector guard on his left shoe and his jeans feature what seems to be motor oil stains. How I relate...

Couldn’t wait for this review and It was indeed excellent! This is an amazing release from Fender. Just proved to top every modeling amp on the market. What will they come up with next using the intense R & D that went into the tone master series?

Sweeet intro!❤️

what a fantastic intro!

Nice guitar arrangement of I can’t stop loving you By Ray Charles. Don’t get me wrong I love valve amps but the future is Amp Modelling. Amp, effects all in one. Light and easy...

I definitely want to check one out. I am bemused by people who are outraged that they seemed to get the sound right with newer, lighter, technology that won't break your back and want to charge the same price. Is it actually about the sound or just an attachment to 80 year old tech? Maybe if they emulate the tube smell as well it'll be worth it.

I’ve got to try one of these. I love the blackface style amps but they’re way too loud to be practical for me.

That intro!!!😳😁🤙🏽🥳

I love the "first look" like this. No more Samsung phone camera 😂 better audio. but as laid-back as usual.

Mr Bollinger ... you are a mighty fine Player ... Great demo man ...👍👍👍

I bought one and I must say I love it ! The sound man loves it and it’s just an amazing amp to gig with and record I couldn’t be happier although I have to admit , I did swap the speaker with a Celestion Creamback It just kicked it up a notch An Alnico Gold would be awesome as well.

Intro: Koos Alberts - eenmaal kom jij terug. 👍👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

Still wearing the taped shoes! LOL> Keep up the good work John

Amp sounds great! I want to learn that three bend lick that starts at :38

And by the way I love your guitar playing,,,, Oh My....

Such a nice guy, great player. Reminds me of Mr Peanut Butter from Bojack Horseman.

Nice playing Bro. Very tasteful.

Great vid! I thought your vid was good, nothing bugged me, and i'm picky and will lend advice when a vid like this lacks something or is annoying... so, i see the complaints, and that's the reality of life and all, but, this vid was to the point, informative and maybe the best i've seen concerning this amp that now, after seeing this vid, will buy... and i've watched a handful in the last few months... again, great job!

Great player!

Nice Osmond Brothers' cover! And nice sounding amp.

I really wish Fender put attenuator on all of their tube amps too for more options. So many other brands are doing this, it makes the amp so darn versatile for whatever your use is.

Amp sounds great. Not really a bad price for all those options.

Pretty cool John, get that tele deluxe serviced too

Wow..That opening lick was so beautifully played and that alone should be able to sell that amp into stardom in my opinion! You would be one hell of a great lead guitarist in a country band but you’d have to get a time machine and go way back to play that kind a great guitar licks that you were playing here.

How many people are listening on cheap speakers here..... or their phone or laptop.... give it a listen though great headphones or studio monitors... or even better, go try one. I didn't love the Twin version but the Deluxe is a home run in my opinion.

They sound great for what they are. For me personally, I already own a Katana 100 and there's not €600 difference in sound. I found the 65 DR genuinely amazing though, and decided to take the financial pain and buy one of those.

If it sounds good, great, but why not offer effects loop? Couldn’t be hard given the solid state design....

I tried the Twin out at a store.It was awesome.My only concern comes down to how long it'll hold up.. especially as Fender has put their warranty down to two years.

Sounds convincing on its own. Good gigging amp 👍🏼 if you can afford it .. Tube reverb pedal?

I really like the concept and clean it sounded really good. But it began sounding digital the higher the gain. The more you tried to convince me how great it was at higher gain, the more I began to wince. I mostly play a tweed Swart AST and a vintage Champ, so maybe my ears are biased. Great playing. Was wanting more of Wicked Game. Edit: I will say that these would be great for gigging artist, especially country or surf player lugging a Twin around.

Not into modeling, but digs this model. 👍

Beautiful rendition of I Can’t Stop Loving You. I am a tube amp guy and would like to know, do you hear enough difference in a Handwired Deluxe Reissue ($2300-$2500) verses your 1965 Deluxe to make you chose one over the other, or keep you from buying the Handwired new version ? I love all vintage guitars and amps, I think I need help. LOL 😂 Thanks John.

I just bought one! It should arrive by Friday, I’ll post my thoughts on it!

Great thanks. This or the JC 200 Roland..in your humble opinion?

Ok John, where's the twin review with your pedal steel? I gotta hear your input on the twin!

He’s got the tube amp backed up against the couch.

I wish they do a tweed bassman like this

Thanks !!!.....this vid made my day John!!!!...... health has been wonky and needd an uplift!.......thanx brother!...... feeln Better already!.....
