Fender Deluxe Reverb Tone Master

[@davehebert3403]

I always love Dave's "mini concert" before he reviews stuff :D.

[@ashlinperumall]

Me too!! I’m always amazed how he does this every episode but keeps it so fresh and new.

[@400_billion_suns]

Yeah, it's my favorite part of his channel! I enjoy his humor and reviews too, but the music is what keeps me inspired to keep practicing and playing guitar too :)

[@devanjaques7143]

He’s a seriously good player

[@dhio9615]

I've seen some people say that this amp doesn't sound like a tube amp and all I have to say is, I simply don't care because it sounds fantastic

[@timbuktu7753]

What could possibly be better than listening to Dave strum on this Good Friday? The answer is nothing!! 🙏 He Rocks!!

[@davidwile1277]

Probably dave playing through a blackface super

[@acousticshadow4032]

Dave Simpson strikes again! Fender could not produce a better promo video for this amp. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@atwntennisclub]

Oh my god the fender in stereo with the orange would be insane can't wait for that video ,😱

[@trollfiddler]

I love fender amps but I’ve never heard anyone make one sing the way you did at the end. Fantastic job Dave.

[@vadwanuu7825]

Dude!! That opening jam!!! We need to get you to New Orleans man! You will be gigging as much as you like over here! Nothing is full capacity yet, but 75% is better than nothing.

[@devorieux9979]

I'm an intermediate guitar player and seeing you makes me wanna reach for the stars, your passion is contageous !

[@gazpodmore2398]

This is with out a doubt one of, if not my favourite, opening jams to any video on all of the guitar videos I have ever watched!! Awesome, inspiring stuff as always Dave!!!

[@bijnaniethuman]

I would pay to see you play live. What a hero. You just sold me an amp. Almost got the blues jr! ❤️ from the Netherlands.

[@dazakendrick]

The best tonemaster deluxe reverb review out there!! thank you Dave 🎸 finally next week I have enough money saved up to purchase one Sold my jcm 600 many years ago loved the clean channel but it was way too loud been eyeing one of these up for 6 months cuz I adore fender clean tones. Again thanks Dave for your wonderful review. Ps Part of me thinks you should be getting a slice of my £800 👍

[@fergusuan7371]

Ah man, your intro tone is phenomenal!!.. Absolutely love Fender's thinking with this amp, 'simple' is the way forward :)

[@chrislaing7108]

Love how you tuned to D for the 'you know who' intro jam, solid stuff! The Stevie section was epic too btw, that green screamer pedal ain't bad. Gotta say, it's a good sounding amp.

[@matthewprisco4413]

Great recommendation Dave - I have just tried your fav setting, with the volume up at 10 - treb and bass at 4, bit of reverb - holy moly - what a sound... I had never tried this before ... strat, lp all sound brilliant. Been giggin it for ages on 1 watt and volume at 4 + pedalboard for gain staging :)

[@nothingbutyoumultimediaser7626]

You are so right about Fender nailing the purpose of this new amp. It is lighter, has a ton more features which are extremely useful than the tube version (which I used to have, but it died) The sound and feel of this amp are perfection. It is especially beautiful when playing an Epiphone Les Paul 100 through a VOX classic wah pedal into it.

[@coleknight5335]

I played one at my local guitar store and it blew me away. I'll pick one up eventually but until then thanks for the video Dave!

[@zeto330]

Still can't get over how awesome that Teisco sounds.

[@darrenjenkin1281]

Time to buy some shares in fender hear the sale are going though the roof after your video great playing as always Dave great to see your happy again after having come back to England

[@John-ku7mj]

Oh baby! Dave’s blues are the best man. 😎. Don’t ever stop playing like this dude.

[@venividi911]

The end is fantastic... 👍👌

[@TheKevinNewsom]

Dude! You're on fire! I can tell you're into this amp. Nice work.

[@Sperrythings]

Man, that opening jam was just magic. Unreal Dave!

[@AnkurWow]

I bought one of these and loved it at first, but eventually returned it. It sounded too sterile and digital (the reverb trails, etc., and it didn’t have the warmth and depth of the tube version when comparing side by side), but they may have updated the software and sound since, and the best way to judge this amp is on its own merits. It’s such a great concept that I hope Fender adopts with all of their classic amps. In any case, enjoyed the video, Dave, and glad you love it!

[@ccaioos2002]

I'll show your passion to music to my bandmates, they'll love. sending to much Love from Brasil to you Dave ❤️🇧🇷

[@LazerSparks]

I bought one on the strength of this video Dave. It arrived this morning and I've missed three meals since then !! An unbelievable amp. Fantastic video as always.

[@ashlinperumall]

Loving the tone on the intro Dave! Blasting this loud as background music while working and getting lost in the vibe you have going on here

[@k.peterdingain2499]

Thanks again for letting us into your world the sounds you make are just amazing with that Amp, love it as always!

[@matthorner35]

Just got one of these beasts on weds and they have to be heard to be believed!

[@400_billion_suns]

Congrats! If I didn't live in a small apartment with awful noise insulation, I'd be strongly considering one of these too! They sound amazing and look well-made!

[@mikeclarke4002]

@@400_billion_suns I have one of these and at home play it on the 0.2 Watt setting, volume at around 5 + or - and my neighbours have not got up a petition to have me thrown out. Ok it would be nice to run at the volume at 8 + , but that would be too loud. But it gives the sound with low volume, unlike a valve amp that has to be working - or so they tell me :-) DI out for silent recording works brilliantly, albeit one has to check the signal amplitude into the recording device is not too great and thus distorting. It is a good home amp as well as for gigging.

[@400_billion_suns]

@@mikeclarke4002 Thanks for the info! It really does seem like a great amp. Maybe one will be in my future too...

[@clove-splintered-shards]

Simply and utterly amazing Dave!!!!!!!! You never cease to amaze us all with your impeccable tones that you effortlessly achieve every time you pick up your guitar! Thank you for posting this video my friend! God Bless You and be well! 🙏🏻✌🏻👍🏻🎸🔊🎶

When the rest of YT nitpicking about how this or that piece of gear is lacking 0.00001% the mojo of this other piece of gear.... There’s Dave, making literally every piece of gear sound amazing.

[@rodneylucas2930]

Wow oh wow came to the site because I was considering getting a Fender Deluxe Reverb tone master and stayed for the playing. I could listen to Dave play all day. Simply amazing and I think this solidifies the new amp I am getting.

[@nadhitheband2164]

Thank you Dave, from India . Things are not so good right now. But the music is keeping the soul alive. I too jam on like this just to let the thoughts out.

[@evanstheframe]

Only 8 minutes in and amazed at tone and as always your playing. Now to get back to the review lol

[@georgie16zzz26]

I bought one of these based on your first review and I love it 👍👍

[@mickkraviz]

This amp is really cool, I‘m gonna get one as an addition to my jcm800 studio. I hope they make a good combo! :D Great demo, Dave.

[@Greenleaves123]

I knew you was going to buy that amp from the unboxing . good on you dave 👍

[@megamortalfpv1039]

This was gold.

[@TracerXS]

Damn Dave...that slide playin' is thick and down n' dirty! Some great glorious sounds out that Tone Master.

[@keithspillett5298]

You really are a RIDICULOUS player...... I could happily listen to you play all night 😁🎸

[@PeterDad60]

During this video you have a whole bunch of musical moments that are pristine Dave.

[@jimwarner8071]

Epic intro! I love your Tonemaster Deluxe vids. Thanks.

[@M3SS3RUS10]

Flippin heck Dave, that playing at the end was ridiculous😂 Genuine elite level playing

[@marcpaters0n]

All the tone, all the volume, none of the weight. I NEED ONE NOW! I've got a semi hollow with filtertron pickups, I'd love to hear them through this amp.

kl Dave sounded like Robin Trower at the start then it went into Dave Mode TONE....BRILLIANT...the playing as usual superb and that amp WOW but that TONE.....................AMAZING

[@jello-tarzan]

Extra awesome!!! I obviously don't need tubes, just a lot more of practicing. So inspiring.

[@paulbartell8872]

Lovely playing & amp! Dave, man,..if we ever get out of this thing, I reckon you should hire a room with a stage & put on "Daves Open Mic/Jam Night". I, for one ,would love to meet you and have a jam in "real-time"(what's that again???) as I'm sure lot's of others would too! :)

[@sometimesdimneverthin]

Lincolnshire's answer to Justin Johnson. Keep it up as I prefer a bluesier sound with no backing.

[@anx925]

The slide playing sounds glorious!

[@christophervincent8420]

It sounds like they made improvements on the "break up" the tone sounds thicker and improved. Looks like they fixed the issues with the earlier versions. It just sounds dam good. I'm super jealous. I can't afford it lol. I had a hard time buying a 15w Monoprice Stage Right amp.

[@PeterDad60]

Nobody can afford the gear we purchase but we keep getting new guitars and amps. I think once you find the guitar that is right for you then and only then can you stop purchasing the next guitar. But to compound that we also need an amplifier that becomes our voice and perhaps speaker cabs. Just last month I found my guitar a G&L ASAT Classic BluesBoy in Natural. It's a chambered Telecaster with one 'f' hole and it weighs less than 6 pounds. Small and light in weight, acoustic and electric-I enjoy the acoustic tones late in the night when all is quite and while I'm in our bed with my wife. It's loud enough to enjoy but not so loud as to awaken her. Being electric and a Tele makes it a great part of a favorite amp and speaker cab rig. I play her ight and day, everyday. -Peter age 71

[@PeterDad60]

P.S. I got my Monoprice/Stageright 15 watt/12" Celestion 70/80 8 ohm speaker in a white a white Tolex cab for $129.99 right after president trump got tough with China back in November 2017 or 2018. The Chinese panicked and they dropped their prices for a little while. That same amp is now going for $249 and has been at that price for a couple of years now. I like the amp and it fills the slot for a loud enough medium powered light weight amp very well. $129.99 wow the best bargain ever! You can enjoy your new amp for years to come. Don't overlook the 8/16 ohm speaker out jack because you can use this amp to power many different speaker cabs and that makes it very versatile indeed.

[@christophervincent8420]

@@PeterDad60 yeah I bought it. Great speaker, I should have jumped on it when they dropped their price.

[@christophervincent8420]

@@PeterDad60 I need to check that out. I have a Gretch Parlor for acoustic and 1 MIM fender strat. Which I love. A tad heavier than the American versions but extremely nice and amazing. 1 offset tele by Squire. That would be my entirety. Of course I would mind having just 1 guitar if it was the absolute must. But I don't think I could sale my strat

[@darthgibsonlp6631]

@@PeterDad60 You make a good point. Playing guitar isn't the cheapest of passions unless you're really willing to compromise on tone and quality. If you really love playing and want your playing to carry your true voice than you find a way to make it happen. I've got my perfect guitar and amp, both on finance. No regrets.

I have a deluxe reverb tube amp and a tone master as well because it lighter. I also have a CR 120.

[@troycollins6069]

That way you can use tremelo on the tone master and nextone the all it's effect, the MXR A/B pedal you can play your orange,it let's you play 3 amps at once

I really want one of these amps cheers for the video dave. i love my orange rocker 15 but love this amp and love how its not valve so nice and light weight

[@flylilpyro1]

I've been waiting for this

[@flylilpyro1]

Dave what amp settings would you recommend for running a fuzz pedal ? Playing lots of Hendrix right now , I'm able to dial in the cleans no problem but when I roll up the volume on my guitar the fuzz makes it kinda get flubbery

[@Kqhoa]

Who needs tubes when you can carry this around without breaking your back? Sounds spectacular too!

[@davehebert3403]

Yep -- it sounds great! I sometimes wonder if any of the commercial amp builders have started to use a switch-mode power supplies for their tube amps? With the added complication of such a thing, I would also wonder about road worthiness and reliability. This train of thought brings me to this question: would it be better to just deal with the weight of a tube and with a real transformer and a less-complicated circuit, which is easily fixed, or would it be better to to use a transistorized amp, save your back, and just fork over the cash if/when it breaks. I say "if" here because, for the most part, transistorized amps tend to be more reliable. (Shrug.)

[@Allison_Chaynes]

I have a Deluxe with tubes. Trust me, it's a big difference. I'm not saying these don't sound good. They do. But it's like when a Chrysler 300 pulls up and you say, "Wow, that looks like a Phantom." And then a real Phantom pulls up and then you say, "OK, maybe it doesn't." And I'm not a tube snob. Most of the amps I own are solid state. But this year I decided to get a tube Deluxe, and it's just a different beast.

Great job as always, Dave! Forgive me if you mentioned it or someone else did, but I wonder if this one came with the update? I bought the original one recently and then just a few hours later I found out about the Blonde version. I cancelled my order and bought the blonde version. I'm going to pull it out of the box today and check it out. The blonde version has a Celestion NEO Creamback and the upgrades that remove the bright cap and render the reverb control more usable.

Dave, ask the Captain to send you the blonde deluxe for review. Then when you fall in love with it you can send the original one back for credit :-)

[@imlostinthewoods]

Supposibly you can download the same firmware to this model to virtually "cut the bright cap" and other than the speaker they will sound the same.

[@joaquincuervo6943]

@@imlostinthewoods ~ Yes, there is a firmware upgrade that virtually cuts the bright cap. I believe it also fixes the reverb taper. The creamback speaker makes all the difference for some people.

[@thekarmamechanics9487]

You can install the blonde firmware on this amp also to use the XLR out with Creamback IRs, so you get the Creamback tone in the monitors or through your interface or whatever, and if you mute the internal speaker, you're there with no physical speaker swap whatsoever....

[@rjmilitante2787]

You killed it bro,

[@RobCmusic]

The valve Deluxe Reverbs don't really work daisy chained because the channels are out of phase with each other (something to do with the extra gain stage in the reverb channel compared to the non-reverb one). In theory this amp could be made with both channels in phase because it could be modelled that way, but for authenticity I wonder if they kept them out of phase?

[@thekarmamechanics9487]

Out of phase, but with the right A/B/Y box, you can correct that. But it is vintage correct ... Not sure I like that aspect lol
