With the Tone Master, Fender brings its classic sound right up to date. Since numerous modelling and profiling amplifiers often give you such an overwhelmingly broad spectrum of options, sounds and emulators that you rarely, if ever use, Fender have brought things into better focus with this modern edition of the Deluxe Reverb. All you get with this combo is a faithful modelling of the power section and circuit of the original Fender Deluxe Reverb and frankly, this might be all you would ever need!
Deluxe Reverb: Authentic Sound in a Modern Package
This remarkable hunk of Fender technology has been paired with the growling warmth of a 12" Celestion Neo Creamback speaker. Around the back, you'll find a built-in attenuator complete with five settings, so that this 100 Watt strong combo can be brought to a more sociable level for the studio or rehearsal room, without compromising on sound. The provided XLR output has impulse response (IR) so that your sound remains consistent whether recording or performing and here, you get the choice of a Shure SM57 emulation or a Sennheiser MD421 emulation that can be placed in various positions to fully sculpt the resulting sound. This graceful mash-up of modern and vintage comes with a two-button footswitch for ultimate hands-free function control.
No Tubes, No Problem!
We live in a time when tubes or valves are becoming more scarce and therefore expensive. As such, it's reassuring to see that a dependable brand like Fender have already started investing in alternatives. Since the tubes are gone, this model is not only lighter on your wallet but noticeably lighter to lug around - to the point that the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb might even offer more advantages than its much older brother. You can also shed any doubts you might have in the reliability of this amp since its robust housing will happily survive the trip to every venue, in every country if it needs to. If you take care of it, it will take care of you!

Perfect amp for me in every way. Especially this Blonde version with the 12" Celestion which I prefer to the more sparkly Jensen that comes in the "original" version. I love my old Deluxe Reverb but its way too heavy to carry (I'n gettin' old!) and only comes truly alive when played past 5... way too loud for my neighbours and especially my family! So the Tone Master solves both those issues and Fender really have knocked it out the park too with these. People are still snobbishly saying "nah, still not as good as a "real" valve/tube one" but they're VERY wrong!
Prachtige versterker. De bouwkwaliteit en looks zijn keurig.
Als je de vele positieve reacties leest over de tone master series dan denk je bijna dat het niet waar kan zijn.. Maar het is zo, hij klinkt en reageert zoals zijn buizenbroer.
Voor thuisgebruik zou ik deze aanraden en niet de Twin. Die is in veel gevallen zelfs op de laagste stand nog te luid (als je oversturing uit de amp en niet uit je pedalen wil).
