how was it sound with a SD powerstage 100? you put your pedalboard in "from effects" i guess but you ve got 2 returns??!! where is the "send"?
@FrankFleckenstein2 ай бұрын
I didn't test it with a SD Powerstage, so I couldn't tell. There is a send and two returns, because you can loop in stereo effects. If you use the send for a power amp, your effects have to go in between, or in front of the Zerrer, if they are boost, overdrive or distortion.

You're 100% correct and in fact, you can actually find 100 watt heads for that price and even below that. Those amps won't have DI out, headphone out, IR loader with 6 slots, MIDI switching etc. though. But then again, some people don't need that...just like some people don't need 100w amps. :)

Good review.., And well thought out in the description of good and bad points of this unit. Took delivery of this a few days ago and I can say you've hit the mark exactly on what the unit offers, and doesn't offer. I do not own any of the other competitors models, this being my first "Modeler" so to speak and I am taking advantage of the 30 day return policy to see if it's what I would want to use in a live setting. I would hope Fender would continue to add and update this unit and not fall short of future Amp, Cab and effects offerings...,For the price it better!! What it doesn't do for me is give me that !!!WOW!!! factor that I was hoping for like I got when I purchased The Spark 40 from Positive Grid. The price AND WOW factor still leave me amazed after owning it for close to 3 years, That being said, the next weeks ahead will tell me weather or not the hefty price tag is worth the price of rolling the Dice !
@FrankFleckenstein7 ай бұрын
Thanks, glad you likes the review. I hear you, since I had the same thing going on during my test period. At first I was blown away by the UI and handling, but when I explored the unit and found some of its initial bugs (some of which have been fixed in the meantime via SW updates), the wow factor faded off. I also agree on the Spark. I used to work at Positive Grid and their stuff is great for the money.

I failed to mention before that you are right about how common it is for companies to release digital products in an incomplete state. Fixes, patches, updates, etc. are so routine that people often do not think twice about it. In the case of Fender, I am keeping my TMP. I have confidence Fender will make it a fantastic offering, as they already have issued two firmware updates. Fender reps are communicating with customers about bugs and feature requests. This is very positive. More importantly, the TMP is easy to work with and sounds and feels very good to play. Personally, I do not need an endless library of amp and fx choices. I am happy to have a small selection of very good tones. PS I am very interested in the All You Can Boost pedal. Do you sell and ship to buyers in the United States?
@FrankFleckenstein7 ай бұрын
It's amazing that Fender is keeping up regarding the TMP. I am not ruling out getting one again in the future. Same here...no need for an excessive library of amps, just a few handful of good ones is enough. Thanks for your interest in the AYCB. I do ship the pedal worldwide, so yes! :)

Thank you very much for that informative video. I am to receive my unit tomorrow and have plans to integrate the fx loops extensively and you got me worried a little bit. I count myself to your category 2, meaning I have played the Axe FX II for 7 years now and I am looking for a next level Plattform. I have trust, that fender is at the beginning of their road and not going to abandon their flagship all too soon. They are also the owner of my daw ( studio One) and they did great updates on that one recently, so i have hope. On the other hand I see the shortcomings of the fender Pro, after binging yt videos since its release and see the reaction of the yt scene. There seems to be a lot of criticism and rejection, which is in some parts fair, in some parts not so much, since this is a first release and it is going against systems that are well established and polished, but also they are not to be expected to jump forward giant steps all of a sudden. So the fender has a certain edge over all of them potentially because of what it can develope into. And now my thoughts on the pricepoint: what should someone like me buy at the moment, when searching for a futureproof, "flagshipstyle" modeller? Quad Cortex atm at thomann literally 1 € cheaper then the (now reduced price) TMP 1699€. I am a nit interested in Profiling, so I get a hardwareside inferior unit, with a questionable release and update policy with less I/O and UI ? Hmm , A Helix floor, which is 1580€ so around 120€ cheaper, for a 9 year old product, which is vastly underpowered, compared to the TMP, though Line6 has formidable longterm reputation, it seems, that they are waiting longer then i am willing to wait to introduce their next flagship. and then there is fractal. I have been in the fractal world for a long time now, and kind of love hate it. It is overcomplicated at times and in my case outdated in comfortfunctions (size, no scribble scripts on the mfc101, etc) and the say fm9 has half the nominal CPU power then the TMP, the UI seems fine but feels outdated when seeing the approach of fender ( and line6 and even in cases quad cortex) with a slightly less favorable I/O section and that for the funny price of 2,300€ meaning paying 600€ more ?!? I dont think so. So with all that in mind, I think the TMP is the best bet for a longterm Plattform, if maintained propperly by fender. But anyways, Thanks for the vid again And greetings from Franconia Germany
@FrankFleckenstein8 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching the video and for your comment. If you're not interested in profiling, you should be fine with the TMP and sound-wise, you're going to like it over your AFXII, even more so because the UI is so much more pleasant. After seeing that Fender released a new firmware update on November 20th, I believe they are actually interested in making this a long-term project. There are still things that need fixing and if enough people complain, those issues will be addressed. Regarding the CPU power: I think this conversation is always taken a bit out of context. Yeah, Fender might have more CPUs and CPU power in the TMP, but it all depends on how that potential is implemented. You can have an entire server park for audio processing, but if the guy who wrote the code doesn't know what he's doing, it doesn't help very much. Greeting from the Rhineland! :)

Good review. The one point you didn't touch on is that out of all the units in the same price point aren't as easy to go through the UI. I own the Helix floor and the cortex and a fractal FM9 and the fender TMP is by far the best in it's class as far as UI and that means a lot in my opinion.
