Ive been using amp modelers for 15 years. Started with the Boss ME 50 and eventually moved on to the POD HD Pro. I always got criticism but only from other guitarists. Literally 0 non-musicians who saw me perform live with them ever said anything about it. I have a fully analog rig now (tube amp + pedals) and it sounds great...to me and other guitarists. Yet I find myself yearning to go back to the modeling world. Theres just something about having total control of my rig and tone, being able to adjust things on the fly(especially in a live setting where anything can happen), and most of all not have to worry about maintaining and tending to the possibility of 1 out of 20 things that could be going wrong with my setup which has happened. Fans don't care if your tone doesn't sound "natural". If a modeler has too much high end the sound guy will adjust your mix to fit the room. If you're reading this and you've been watching these videos to figure out if getting one of these or anything similar is worth it, just do it. Yes there is a learning curve, yes the tones don't sound EXACTLY the way their tube counterparts sound. Just get something you're comfortable with, play with it, use it, commit to it and i guarantee you, you will love the way it sounds.

I'm not impressed. At this stage, it's best to wait and see what Line 6 will bring out as a replacement to Helix. Surely, it can't be that far off now. That will give a better feel of where the technology is at now and the processing power these floor units can deliver.

@grippo1927

Wow, I'd be embarrassed to admit I showed up at a gig with my modeler set to my studio settings and expected it to sound good. Anyone should be able to blind tweak it enough blind to get a serviceable live sound before even strumming the first chord. Don't blame the modeler for this, buddy. 🙄

That’s a no ending topic. You know what? Have a couple of Guinness before the rig as the crowd do and everything will be fine 😂

@eulman09

John makes everything sound great! Plus, he has provided the most complete work flow and use case set of videos. Fender should be paying him for all the time he has put into their product.

@steveliberty

Your comments about modelers not sounding the same "in the studio" vs. "at volume live" align with my experience too. But frankly, real tube amps also sound quite different when comparing "at home" levels with live levels. Although the differences are different. But this all points to the fact that we need to test and tweak our modelers at gigging volumes one way or the other. Of course, on the flip side, the whole point of modeling (for me anyway) is that you can get your tones at almosst any volume level. I suppose that is true as long as we are willing to tweak to accomodate the desired volume level.

@ragnadrabinowitz7629

i think it sounds great

@PocketDelicious

As much as I love my Helix, I really think this thing sounds great and has a great interface.

@rickjason215

Steve Vai claims he can sense the delay in a modeler and it bothers him.

@CrowderMusic

I used the Tone Master Pro this morning at church. I had spent the weekend dialing my sounds and wasn’t thrilled live. For the second service I went back to the Helix, it’s tried and true! I do like a lot about the Fender, I just need to tweak it quite a bit

@NevinDouglas82

As someone who worked in guitar shops for nearly 20 years, and also plays/gigs/records at home, I think the biggest issue that most players run into with modellers from a tonal point of view (so not including UI stuff) is the fact that the tone of a microphone is completely baked-in to the sounds coming out of the hardware… and guitar players aren’t used to that.

@lucas_d

Oh and thanks for sharing the info about your global EQ setting. I have a TMP and that has helped improve the sound immensely. 👍

@mikedr1549

Don't Stop Believing was spot on!! And congrats on being the FIRST KZfaqr to gig the ToneMaster Pro.

@alfgwahigain5544

I haven't gigged for a while, but was in a busy function band for many years and the difference in my perception of my tone from our rehearsal space to different venues was pretty constant. Every room sounds different, and outdoor gigs, from my experience, are always rough as far as connecting with the mix and my tone within it. Another big factor was always how much space I had on stage (or in the corner of a bar or restaurant). If I was standing with my amp a foot behind me, it was generally difficult to hear what my amp really sounded like out in the room, vs. being able to have it behind me a few feet, or whatever. I tried an amp stand for a while, but having it pointed at my head was never a good solution, either. Everything is a compromise to some degree.

@martoneill

Very interesting to see your exploration of this modeller. Really valuable for anyone shopping around. Thanks John

@jackprice7828

JNC you really articulated well the issue of home tone versus FOH tone. It's always the biggest challenge. But if I'm honest the FOH tone challenge has always been there even with amps that have speaker emulation line outs too.

@SamVecchio

Great content John. I respect that you give your thoughts and opinions on this honestly. I’m following along because if I do end up buying one, it’s because of your insight. So thank you.

@HotRats73

Actually, with tube amps you find yourself dialing them way darker on stage than what you do at home levels.

@paulngardner

you always seem to reach into my brain and then articulate the question/problems and then answer them! you mentioned user interface and I think I love that the most about this unit seeing you put it to use. Ps. Right at the end of your vid I noticed a 'retain global eq' switch, I guess thats what you need (like you didn't know already) - thanks again!
