Do not do what i did. I got so excited about this video i rushed out and downloaded the tonemaster app on my ipad and iphone and started yelling profanities due to the app refusing to connect on bluetooth. Suddenly it dawned on me in my rush i totally forgot to download and update the firmware on the Tone Master Pro as well. after that everything went great

[@SteveSterlacci]

It happens to the best of us🤣🤣🤣

[@philipatoz]

What I want to hear more of the Tone Pro are cleans and bluesy, edge of breakup stuff. Thanks!

[@Teletex82]

I wish i could comment on the entire update but i havent stopped playing the Princeton.

[@SteveSterlacci]

I did the same!

[@carlosherrera3408]

Hehe for me the Tangerine sounds amazing same as the Princeton , right now I'm playing with the Echotank effect good job Fender

[@robgroden]

Sounds really good!

[@RokDAWG1]

I actually dig the tone on this. The first released version just sounded too thin and really "digital-ish" ro me.

[@michaelbecker5321]

Great sounds from the Tone Master Pro and great sounding guitar too! I have one too ( white/ relic finish)! Love Knaggs guitars!

[@orioncodesg]

Honestly I think fender has the best hardware inside. They all the time to work on their sounds

[@RICO_SUAVE21]

Dam that sounds great! So many choices of great products out there right now 😊

[@DanielBobke]

To be fair...many of the competing modelers didn't have great initial launches. NDSP is famous for not delivering what they promised at launch for years - and those things are just NOW becoming available, more than 2 years after release. I think providing a significant update within 7 months of initial release is pretty good. I know there are many that don't like the EVH models in comparison to the real amps, but objectively they sound pretty good on their own. The Soldano sounds awesome. I think they are showing they are committed to the platform and there will be more great things to come.

[@ericjenks9596]

You should try a 62 Princeton capture on your little kemper. Tone Junkie’s captures are spot on to my original.

[@nigeldaddyo]

the fender models are the shining stars. go figure

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Well…I mean if they can’t get that right, they’d be a laughing stock.

[@picksalot1]

Great to see Fender making a big move to deliver sounds and improvements that justify the price of their flagship Modeler. Lots for their customers to be happy with their purchase. Some very good sounds there. It would be great to get an interview with Fender's Sound Designer to talk about this outstanding Update, and where they are moving for forward with their Modeler. Thanks

[@MarkDanielsmusician]

Kemper does the USB backup....

[@abefroman1970]

Johnny A uses a TMP. He would be a great interview.

[@3mstudiospalmdesert]

Sounds good.

[@AlainChatlut]

Random question - is there any unofficial way at all to rename the unit amps and effects to the real names?

[@kylefletcher8489]

Looks awesome. Steve, at this point would you consider gigging this now?

[@SteveSterlacci]

Absolutely. If i was still doing local gigs I'd have been using it to see how it is live for sure

[@kylefletcher8489]

That’s awesome. I have another modeler but this is making me consider picking one up. Good to see fender is supporting and advancing the unit pretty swiftly!

[@ericajohnson7535]

Kemper has a memory stick backup

[@SteveSterlacci]

They do a lot right !

[@deanbibb3680]

@13:00 great sustain!

[@simonsmith2642]

Random. But I do that on my JC120. I turn on chorus or trem, so it enters that stereo spread, but I keep them down almost zero. Just for fullness, and stereo spread. I jumper channels too. Nice and juicy. If I did bigger fly in gigs. I would use an amp sim. Right now just in studio, so amplitube and tonex fill the job and budget. Im old so nobody is listening anyway 😂

[@MrMatrix2808]

62 Princeton is awesome. Totally forgot to try the Soldano 😢

[@hanovergreen4091]

Hey Steve. Any chance Fender is going to put this out as a iOS iPad type only software? Also, you’re a brave man if you would trust some venue to have something like this ready for you in a condition that you would want to use instead of bringing your own. So hats off to your bravery, I’ve gone to where I’m only using an iPad and a back up Headrush MX5 and an audio interface and that way I can put everything in the gig bag. End it would be about time that fender gave you a chance to get your own presets in. Thanks for the video and the information and best regards and best wishes.

[@markthespark6240]

G'day Steve. Hi from Australia. On the fence with buying one of these. In Aussie dollars these are F%&king expensive!! I've been holding out since last year and still using pedals and amp for covers gigs. Do you use in ears or foldback monitor while you're gigging??? Do I need to buy one of these?? Love your channel. Thanks, Mark.

[@jittboy1]

It’s a great pedal but the new fractal is insane sounding I have owned them all including tone master. Fractal 3 with firmware 8 is just incredible and the fm3 for size

[@friedmojo]

Only the Fractal GUI is dismal especially with the FM3. Stepping through menues is a no no for life use.

[@shellsjoint]

Steve you rock!! your biggest fan!!!

[@CoverBandConfidential]

When we doing a podcast episode?

[@johnbeamon]

I'd listen to that.

[@fortyyearfitness]

Is there a place where you Can you download other people preset sounds mimicking bands and guitarists tones?

[@SteveSterlacci]

Yes it's all in the cloud just like the artists section I showed

[@mbaker33]

Also wondering this. With Helix, I can go to their website and see all of the different patches/presets that people have shared. I would love to have a similar page for the TMP. It is the one thing that gives me a bit of hesitation in pulling the trigger. Is it possible to view the artist section without having the TMP already?

[@williswet]

Love ya brother but No tubes (in a live on stage situation) not interested. Great for practicing. I have Amplitube 5 ? and it rocks but you need a laptop to use it no matter what the situation. Best of luck with JL bud👍

[@TheGuitarModder]

The Tonemaster sounds better than the helix. Line 6 need to bring out something new soon

[@SteveSterlacci]

Too subjective of a topic to have an actual conclusion of. I still choose helix over it for my tours and gigs

[@Waldek.k]

There's still a long way to great tones. He watches and cheers.

[@AlekVila]

What amp do you all use with a TMP?

[@ngronlund]

Sounds great 🎉

[@MrMatrix2808]

Satriani uses a TMP...

[@jca198825]

i just got the tone master pro , i see there different updates. do i have to download every updates there are or only the latest update?

[@KR-nc5be]

Just the latest one

[@brainycrunches2359]

Seems like there’s still a long way to go.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Depends on needs for sure

[@yago8672]

But... does still look like a toy?

[@Raceswap]

Further proof guitarists hear with their eyes.

[@armandom28]

I wish you tried more clean settings

[@SteveSterlacci]

The amps added don't stay clean long. I'll do one on the new deluxe prob

[@JessicaLynnCountry]

👏👏👏

[@markthespark6240]

It's a nice singlet that he's wearing!!!

[@metallion0738]

The Tone master sounds awesome and very organic as well.

[@rinkydinky-ob9pe]

may i ask where its made ?

[@markthespark6240]

Mexico - At least it's not China like everything else!!!

[@dnottis]

still the Fizzmaster pro. listen to the fizz as it tails off. Same issue with the Mustang amps and floor. Fender Fizzmaster. Sounds terrible.

[@dustylense]

Sounds like your wife’s vibrator in YOUR butt

[@scottbecker3485]

Set high and low cut to taste and enjoy.

[@bluemawks]

Great to see an update, but really....buying gear on future updates....ehm....meh..., why would anyone do that?

[@scottbecker3485]

Because the same thing was and in some cases still is true of other modelers out there. They ripen with time, or not. Fender seems committed to updating this baby about every 6 months, with bug fixes in between. Compared with others, that seems legit.

[@johnbeamon]

Steve is a gear reviewer. He's also reviewed some stuff that was hopeless crap and never got updated. Apply this logic to any product anywhere that's ever received an update or bugfix. They all had to start somewhere.

[@thomaskihr329]

Because it is or was like that with all the other modelers. Just remember the QC and how long users begged to get editing software - it took years.

[@ThePinheadsNL]

Still very happy I sold mine and went back to Kemper. Kemper is still King 🤘🏼🤪🤘🏼

[@piresrobson]

It’s just me? But I didn’t like the tones. But great video as usual Steve

[@Guitarman007]

I'm going to pretend like everyone didn't just release a video on this like they weren't all just paid a bunch of money to hype it and then pretend like they just decided on their own to do a video.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Well, it would be pretend if you think I'm being paid. I have about 4 or 5 videos criticizing TMP. If you know who is paying, please fwd me their info. Also, I paid for mine

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Lolmaster Pro. Crazy expensive for nothing unique or outstanding

[@QuickSticks8771]

A bit harsh , it’s UI is completely unique , it’s like using a beautiful HD plugin on your pc but as convenient as a pedalboard It’s workflow and tones are outstanding and it costs the same or less than everything in its class Sit down with one for a few hours and enjoy yourself

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

@@QuickSticks8771 it's not in the same class as the units of its price, that's the consensus I'm afraid. Doesn't capture like QC, doesn't model like it or like the axe FX. User interface looks nice, but is not without its faults.

[@QuickSticks8771]

@@WholeLottaBulldog absolutely agree it’s far from faultless and still has some catching up to do

[@jwhelan709]

then dont buy it.

[@Echoes-]

@@WholeLottaBulldog Just saw an EVH amp comparison with the TMP/QC/AXEFX after this new update and the TMP was for sure one of the best, if not the best.

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

I was subscribed to your channel but after you went to Fractal I unsubbed, I don't use Fractal, and never will use fractal after an experience with a group of Fractal acolytes lead by Scott Henderson. If this is the company you chose to represent than I don't want any part of it. I was looking for vids on the new firmware and you turned up, I'll watch this vid then probably never again. I wish you well for the future.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Hey Vaughan. I respect everyone's opinion on their gear, but that issue has literally nothing to do with me and shouldn't be a reason to "leave". Im sorry you had a bad experience with their community. I have definitely had some myself. Moving on to current gear, I'm still using my HX XL on tours right now and have been regularly posting line 6 content. Fractal probably is the least represented modeler on this channel.

[@matthewfreeman33]

This things gonna be discontinued soon. Too expensive, sounds shakey and only morons buying it when way better stuff further along is already out. Crapmaster pro RIP

[@robertedwards21]

Hope you're wrong and Fender keeps improving on what is already a solid platform. Question is whether or not they got on the modeler train too late.

[@thomaskihr329]

I don't have a Tone Master Pro yet, but I would be interested to know which devices you think are better and why. Price is not an argument because it depends largely on where in the world you are based. So please be kind and let us hear your thoughts on which devices are better.

[@roberto3262]

So, spit it out. Let's hear what you have to back up your comment.
