I agree with you on that, and it would have drawn alot of people away from Helix, Fractal and Quad market, Fender is late to the game , anyway I never buy a first generation in gear especially a modeler, I wait to see what needs to be improved
@douglasdog17 ай бұрын
I just bought one. I don’t think its overpriced when you look at all the features available. Its not cheap, but I’ve put a lot of gear out of commission with this, pedals, amps, interfaces, power supplies, cables etc…Might not use all the features, but they’re there. So much flexibility and adjustability.

Mitch and Don: you guys do a great job as a duo of presenters-this demo is no exception. It looks like a phenomenal piece of kit. I like all the little touches, too. Definitely want to try this thing out in real time now. Thanks, gentlemen.

Fender did a great job with this unit… the price of $1700 is very high, but on par with other high end modelers like the quad core… I would have been a home run if they were able to hit a lower price point imo
@DoctorMcFarlandStudios11 ай бұрын
Honestly with the features, I/O and solid construction I think the price is just fine. I ordered one immediately.

@nathangrant869311 ай бұрын
It’s got a better interface than the Quad Cortex, but no amp, pedal capture at that price is too much. Also, I hope the modeling and FR speaker are much better than the Mustang GTX because the sound quality on that is not great.
@iradflores827611 ай бұрын
Its smart for Fender to start at this price point, especially offering 8 cores of processing power. They can get this product out there, and im sure they are already developing a smaller unit with 4 or 6 cores that will fall into a price point to compete with the Helix LT, etc. This thing looks and sounds fantastic. Excited to try one.

It is interesting that this is the "Pro" model (it is certainly packed with features, e.g. 5:16 got my attention)... If they are following the Apple computer vibe (where Pro is reserved for the high-end), there could be a "Home Enthusiast" model just as you predict...

I've owned a lot of great amps and still have a couple. I haven't seen a modeler that I would buy until this one. I knew the day would come when someone would nail it. I think Fender's done just that. Looks like fun and not a chore to work through. A new level has been set! Reminds me of when digital cameras got so good there was no turning back. I think we're rounding that corner now in the amp world.

@gearmeister11 ай бұрын
I'll say that you should get an expression pedal built in on the side. I've got the "Fender Mustang Floor" & even though it's several years old, the technology built into it is like the very prehistoric version of the Tone Master. My Mustang Floor has an expression pedal built in. The TM Pro is light years ahead but since I don't tour anymore, I'm keeping my Fender Floor

Priced to compete with other products which is nice and seams feature rich. I'd like to see the expression pedal included since the Line 6 Helix has it built in for the exact same price, so I think that's a bit of a let down and would sway a lot of potential buyers. Aside from that, the sounds sound great and the ease of use seems top notch. I do love the jewel light.

I'm happy with a good smooth distortion and a few clean rhythm sounds which my current setup gives me in spades. But Fender certainly nailed it with the Tone Master Pro.

One thing that perhaps most of your viewers didn't realize is that this device makes a lot more sense for us musicians from the third world, where a fender tube amplifier is very expensive, so for me it makes a lot of sense to sell my old pedals and buy One of these, I'll have all the Fender quality at my feet for a fraction of the price. Note, did this pedal copy the old G System?
@AngelMartinez-qs3cf11 ай бұрын
Impressive unit, but I wish it had a wah pedal like some other units, like the Headrush and the Helix. Also, I feel the switches are a little too close together. If you have big feet that would be a problem. Is there a pitch wham feature where I can tune the guitar down to say like Eb tuning? They need to add more amp models. I don't know if they have all the Fender amp models. Fender makes the most beautiful clean sounds. Amp models are like closet space, you can never have enough. This is by far the best demo video. Great job Mitch and company! Great sounding unit. $1,700 a bit step. I could buy a Fractal or the Headrush Prime for that price. Just my two cents.

For $699 you can get an HX stomp with 3 buttons and a limited number of blocks. It would be way underpriced at that amount. I bought one. Worth every cent. I also have an HX Stomp.
