Using the Fender ToneMaster Pro Live

[@chrisbyrneguitar]

'It's the best and most ultimate test of....Oh fuck off see ya bye!' 🤣

[@jackpostma5407]

We where in front, and it kicked ass, it was worth standing in the rain and mud and cleaning shoes and our car the entire Sunday 🤣

[@Dryst08]

fender tonemaster's UI looks so nice.

[@dougappel5924]

Huge selling point.

[@SoMyungJung]

Ola’s pedalboard: a towel I love you so much

[@robertpurdy4452]

Thank you Ola! It's awesome to hear that the Fender TMP slogged it out on stage with you in the muck and rain and came out swingin'. I finally got tired of the Boss GT-1000 CORE screen and how dated it is, plus I am having issues with the computer software (BTS) spazzing out with any computer running Windows 11, no Bluetooth, etc.. I purchased a Fender Tone Master Pro for $1,349 directly from Fender yesterday. I've been going through videos for it, especially ones like this where it's not just an initial review, and I'm feeling better about spending that much because of this video..

[@mickloh]

Kinda cool seeing a variety of modelers being reviewed in a live environment use case. I'd personally like to see the BOSS GT-1000 get some use. Anyway keep doing cool stuff man!

[@bradhargis2261]

Guitarist in my band uses one. Works just fine to my ears.

[@GabrielAngelfire]

I know Nita Strauss uses it live. Andy James has one too but I've never seen him live.

[@geraintpusspuss]

Just got a tonemaster today, one of the best modelers out imho

[@cbolton81]

I think Rob Arnold using this for his live setup. If it’s the same one. He speaks highly of it.

[@lucenarennan]

You are probably the only one putting those things to the test live. Props to you brother, keep up the great content!

[@douglasdog1]

Love my Tone Master Pro. Perfect unit for someone moving from analog to digital.

[@Apollo-Saturn]

Are they have the same tube feel when u play ?

[@douglasdog1]

@@Apollo-Saturn Yes…and no. I love tube amps and have largely stayed away from digital because to me it just never reacted the same with guitars/pickups and drive pedals. This unit does react just like a tube amp and it sounds great. The sound I would say is excellent but not going to replace the tube amp in the room sound because you have to remember you are hearing a “recording” of a tube amp, so different mics and mic placement. Now, before I had this I was running my tube amps into a Two Notes reactive load and Cab M using IR’s which is also basically a recorded amp sound with mics etc. I think the TMP sounds better than my actual tube amp with a reactive load and IR, plus its just a much simpler setup with way more easy access to options in all areas of the signal chain. It really does sound great and you have to play with the cabs, mic placement, eqs, volume levels as each preset is different. The stock presets are ok, but maybe not adjusted to your taste. It has to be adjusted to your rig and setup.

[@alexiruse]

The best test method. Should survive playing in my bedroom for sure now!

[@jeffp9607]

thank you for another Fender tone master pro video. Please keep it up with this product!!

[@parlarsson7377]

Did You upload Your presets to Fender TMP cloud? If not, please do........We neeeeeeds them! (Gollum voice). :)

[@CoreyCashRiff]

Killer tone from the tone master and your fingers. 🎸☠️🎤

[@sb6232]

Wow..That's the best I've heard the TMP...KILLER!!!! ..oh..and it's nice to see how high Ola wears the guitar/strap....not hanging way down low..

[@OlaEnglund]

I have to wear it like that for my back.

[@sb6232]

@@OlaEnglund Cool..I have to do the same!

[@MelconWagner]

Awsome news with the mud... and even better news that the gig went so well with the TMP unit. Thanks for the heads up. You rock Ola!

[@MarcelCoenenOfficial]

Surhuizum, also played there, great festival, too bad the weather was shitty this time

[@RedLine760-r8l]

My god.. that tone is amazing.

[@TheStrykerProject]

Glad that rig worked out for you, Ola - especially in the rain and mud!

[@pitaorj]

you should give the profile player a second chance: 1) main out to FOH, 2)secondary output to a SS power amp (duncan powerstage IMHO) and a cab, using a merged profile. that rig is freaking small and capable.

[@ivsiguitarist]

Didn't Fender just add the Orange Rockerverb and Soldano SLO100 with their latest firmware update?

[@michaelwilson2497]

Yep

[@predigr]

yes, and believe me, amps sound so real that you don't need a lot of them. You will enjoy plenty of time with just a single amp. Several weeks with TMP and I am still with Preset 1 without effects. Just that fender amp sounds absolutely amazing.

[@jirkahympl5570]

Bobby Hambel from Biohazard played it in Prague and fed it into an EVH power amp and it played

[@predigr]

Several weeks with TMP and I am still only playing with Preset 1. It just sounds amazing.

[@nicholastotoro7721]

I have to admit... the interface is pretty slick!!! Very easy to use on the fly.

[@mightyhightide1745]

That KRS power amp is crazy expensive!! What other power amps would you all recommend? Was looking at the Seymour Duncan 200. Thanks for any help..

[@jconner3891]

I bought the fm3 turbo few months ago. I don’t never know if I make the right decisions

[@a-World-Of-Payne]

I’ve been using the line 6 helix for the last year or so for gigs. I know you didn’t love it when you tried it out, but it’s had some awesome updates since then. Definitely worth revisiting but you need to spend some time on setting up your patches 🤘😎

[@Sleeep1]

Check new updates on Fractal FM3. A lot of changes was made - new tones, new no gaps patch, new IR system.

[@JamminJesseHayes]

Nice. Glad it worked well for you. Much Love Bruv ❤

[@pellepelle47]

Can you try to use the HX Stomp the same way? I guess there are a lot of players that use the H E L I X products that would be happy then

[@SixxMoo]

I play a Helix, the other Guitarist a Pod Go and the Bass player HX Stomp. Playing gigs with that set up for 3 years now and it's awesome!

[@buzzedcoffee]

Awesome video! I've been using "The One" IR with my TMP for live gigs and it sounds great! Any chance you'll be uploading the patch you used for that performance?

[@RenatinhoStauros]

I loved when you used to play with Fractal

[@jeremiahtuck7634]

Ola, I've made a quite compact Quad Cortex Rig myself. I've placed the Quad Cortex, a Mission expression pedal, and a Shure GLXD Wireless on a Temple Duo 17 pedal board, all powered by a Cioks DC7, and I use the temple side panel modules to easily access my sends for the power amp and the XLR outputs. I have this in a gator case along with all my cabling and a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 700. The whole rig weighs about 36 pounds (16.3 Kilograms), and in my opinion is the most compact I can be while having all my needs covered. I'm not 100% sure (I haven't flown for any gigs yet) but the rig may even be small to be a carry on for a flight. I would love to send you pictures I'm just not sure the best way to do so.

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Mr Swede!! What about something like the Mooer 5150 pedal into the Mooer baby bomb power amp for live? Cradle of Filth did that on a tour. 🤔

[@stevenlewis4376]

How about using backline gear but bringing the mini Tonex just in case? That thing is amazing. And some Saran wrap for the mud .

[@BoyAditya]

Nice seeing you change the gears all the time and trying something new for live. How's Jensen's rig btw?🤔 Need to know what The Haunted are using for their rigs

[@Machinedmetal]

That is awesome! I had serious doubts about that unit. But if it is set right, watch out world!

[@Rod_Records]

Which IR are you using? Thanks for sharing your real life use experiences.

[@Obssy]

Do you ever mess up your presets because of the rotary foot shitches? or can you disable the rotary function when yu are not editing?

[@TheRazorsH]

Hi Ola. You use to use an FM3 live. Can you share that Fractal preset please?

[@Crms-like-Crims]

love the color shift finish. I hope that color gets put on a hipshot or floyd bridge 🙏

[@nationwide6661]

Hey man, great video and great sound. Can you share your presets in the Fender cloud? Cheers!!!

[@chrisguitar]

Hey - Great video - And yes - Agree that the TMP is tone wise better than the QC. Worth the price. WHAT IS THAT POWER AMP YOU ARE USING? Thanks!

[@brendan00013]

The power amp he’s using is the KSR one!

[@Sispheor]

Could you share your preset? 😊. For the science! I have a TMP and I love it.

[@fekiee]

Sounded great I think, First time seeing that chair man, where did you get it from?

[@Michael-zs7yy]

It sounds good.

[@cornelius5595]

Pretty neat to see your experience using this floor modelers live. Curious if you've tried out the Line 6 HX Stomp in this capacity or had any thoughts about if this would meet your needs or not.

[@mmiller6873]

Totally look forward to the Vlog of the show.

[@mmathias007]

It seems with the new firmware, a new "External Cab" was added. I was wondering if it is exactly what we need when sending to a power cab. Could you try it adding to the cabinet output line?

[@celestialode]

Great video Ola, wonder how many musicians out there can take out these modelers and use them in real world conditions.

[@truthfactreality6814]

Use a Friedman IRX or IRD with some overdrive in front and delay reverbs in loop into that power amp. Would be small and sound epic

[@joehuffman1847]

Ola! Would love if you uploaded your presets to the cloud! Also, what IR were you using?

[@shadowstryfe]

I'd love to see you do a video on testing the ToneX live! WIth the price point, it's a huge advantage for players

[@crazkurtz]

These are the best type of reviews

[@jirosaves_theworld]

i hope Ola would tried Laney new "pedal" amp and previous one to test Chug

[@warcofuzz9112]

Hey Ola ! At Hellfest I noted you had a 5150 head on stage. Did you use it as power amp only ? Anyway, you sounded insane 🤩

[@generaljj71]

Sounded crushing

[@TheOnlyGuitarFather]

Can you plug the line out into the amps return and use that as the power amp?

[@JStillwell-wm3ln]

Yes.

[@cybergnetwork588]

Ola was using the effects loop to the amp but while it is working, you want to use Out 1 to FOH (with TMP mixer level Out 1 maxed out) and Out 2 to on stage amp.

[@Neesavampi]

You should check out the new version 4 Boss GT1000 amps. 3 new metal amps just released. It would be awesome too if did a video on it. Looks like Boss is ahead of Fender.

[@Dookiefists]

Having played extensively on both I can say the Boss is great but I'd rather have the Fender, the modelling on the Tonemaster sounds significantly better and the UI on the GT is pretty toilet

[@Neesavampi]

@@Dookiefists I don't agree with you. The Tone master only has one amp for metal and doesn't fit everyone's taste.

[@deluxeg]

@@Neesavampiit has more than one amp for metal.

[@Dookiefists]

@@Neesavampi it has a bunch of amps for metal and none of them sound anywhere near as processed and digital as the GT 🤷

[@Neesavampi]

@@Dookiefists The review I saw said the only amps that were good were the fenders. The Marshalls were terrible.

[@Satori_LE]

Could we get a video with you trying out the headrush prime? I don’t really see any coverage of it

[@oliverkartevoldpettit998]

Would like to see you try out the Tonex at another show! It does have two outputs, but you can’t choose to either have one with the ir on and the other off (yet). Maybe you could bring the Boss Ir-2😅

[@BrunoThiaolayel]

Hey Ola, did you get your ESP Sonic classic III guitar ? I had the chance to import mine earlier this week and it's been awesome so far !

[@mheyl180]

Ola, what kind of Poweramp are you using there?? - Cheers, Markus

[@crazyboyant79]

Im considering buying the FTP, and wondered if someone in here can assist with a question. I currently use a 100w 5150 iii head, 4x12 cab and a pedal board. Could i use the FTP with my current head just as a power amp ? If so how is this done, whats the cabling involved etc etc, what goes where. Thanks in advance. Great video

[@kor2112]

I got a chuckle of your clean patch, dirtier than my lead lol

[@manuelhernandez2017]

It's ola, even his cleans are distorted LMAO 🤣

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

Ola's clean tone is like my hard rock overdrive tone LMAO

[@tonehammer7276]

Hey Ola, isn´t there a Recti fier too in the Tonemaster? I wonder how good this one is after the latest update. Cheerz

[@JStillwell-wm3ln]

Yes, there's a Rectifier model. Checkout the videos by Sonic Drive Studios. He compares the TMP Rectifier model vs a real Rectifier and 8 other modelers.

[@YTisGay]

​@@JStillwell-wm3lnJon from Sonic drive studios can't be trusted.

[@damiensweeney9805]

hey Ola! i was wondering if you could answer a question about how you used the tonemaster live please? when i plug my tonemaster into my desk, i find that the level from the TMP is so strong that i have to have the gain level completely OFF on my channel and even then, i can only turn the volume slider up a tiny bit on the desk because the sound is so loud/harsh. did you have this problem? best regards, dee. ps, love your work =)

[@SpyZ86]

Ola, you oughtta try a modeller called Amperium Live. It's not the most intuitive modeller but for 500 euros it's a steal. I think it's up there with the Quad Cortex and the Helix stuff, tone wise. Just lacking options and ease of use. Try to get your hands on one!

[@DAVIDWATSONLIVE]

Hey, it gets a good distorted tone, but does it do any other sounds well?

[@chriscolonna]

What roller case do you use? Disregard my power amp question. Figured it out.

[@Gebbinator]

Ever thought of using the Bluguitar Iridium Amp as a flyrig?

[@YTisGay]

That thing sounds amazing for $300. But not $800

[@김태호-c4j]

Can I ask you why you choose mic/line split instead of instrument split?

[@TheOnlyGuitarFather]

SOMEONE TELL HIM TO UPDATE THE DAM TMP - SOLO AND ORANGE ARE ON THERE

[@predigr]

you have the instructions on the official fender website "firmware update"

[@ValveReactor]

Danke, Ola 🎉

[@tragicallymalicious1]

Would be cool to see if you can use the ToneX pedal

[@markculpepper9136]

What kind of wireless do you use with TMP?

[@dpoultski2499]

What about the Synergy preamps with your travel power amp??

[@reverendtos4271]

Another great video. Personally, I think it would be really fun to see a similar live test video using Another low cost modeler like the Ampero Stomp. They are sounding pretty darn good these days

[@gordonstarship]

best ending ever.

[@precisionbassbr3351]

next video you play with the revv G3 pedal live directly on the ir loader, do you have the courage ? 🥂😌

[@DomMcsweeney-DoomPlugs]

What about trying the Dimehead NAM Player next? 0.5ms latency... dual outputs for amp out and di out =)

[@Guitar_Builder]

are you using the ksr pa50 for POWER!

[@gorf101]

That was a great test and review. Mud , rain and the sound kicked ass .. I really am looking for a unit like that but can it model your own amps?

[@flyingrhoads]

Love this channel. What power amp did you run with the Tonemaster? Cheers from KY

[@djabthrash]

Were the 2 cabs on stage for slef monitoring?

[@braydenfletcher5089]

I’ve noticed you started having your guitar sitting a lot higher on your body since your surgery, have you found any advantages or disadvantages doing so??

[@jimduyck]

Carpeted floor monitors at a metal show is bold move...I'd probably avoid giving them a sniff test! 😂

[@Twobarpsi]

It chugs!

[@joshuajegatesen]

Have you tried the Gt1000 live before ?

[@guilhermealiboni5523]

I understand you don't like line6 stuff that much, but, been using the PodGo for a while now on live settings with my band. It sounds awesome both direct to front of house and with power amp and cabinet. Since you're trying different stuff, you could also try this one out.

[@zvonimirbaljak76]

why dont you use fractal anymore???

[@Ryan_Messenger]

What's up with that green solar X with an evertune? You do that for funsies or are you dropping easter eggs? Also I like the concept for these types of videos because there's no way of knowing until you try. The added risk of trying something in a live situation adds variables to your planning and an interesting bit of excitement to the video. I always get super hyped by the live footage you share. I love seeing Metal music bring people together for a good time.

[@NicholasParolin]

You should try hx stomp live

[@fabianthio4011]

Yes, HX stomp is next

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

The SLO is pretty Brutal
