I have the Tonemaster Twin, the way to run it, is with the bright switch on and the bass at 6 or less, same with treble and mids. Those setting will make the amp sound very close to the original. In this video he has the Tonemaster amp eq’d very dark.

Exactly, Even the same amps have subtle differences amongst each other. Plus his personal has been modded by an amp tweaker from Austin. Such an amateur move to set all settings the same. Any pro would match the amps by ear. They can all probably produce a very similar tone by tweaking the tone knobs.

Great review. A little EQ will go a long way to make these amps very much alike. You can brighten up the Tone Master or darken the 60s original. This is the best clean amp Fender makes, whether tube or solid state. The Tone Master is a real surprise. What is unknown is the overall depth of the reverb, and a comparison of the tremolos. Pine cabinet, neo Jensen speakers, and a weight of 33 pounds means the Tone Master has a lot going for it.

This “comparison” was a demonstration of mr. V’s blues chops, not the performances of the three amps. To compare, play the same chords, in short sequences, on all three amps. That way, mature ears can hear the variations. Play a variety of chords in a variety of guitar forms, across the amps in sequence, so we can figure out what might be audible. Playing a complex melody only gives us hints about the demonstrator, not the demonstrated. This is not the first “comparison” that features chops of the tester rather than the behavior of the equipment. Mr. V is not alone, but joins a wide variety of amateur and professional performers doing more “look what I can do” than “look what it can do” performance. He is in good company.

This spring I purchased the new blonde Fender Twin tone master. It came stock with celestion 65 creamback neodymium speakers. Better than the original Fender Twin tonemaster but not perfect Fender Twin sound. So I did an upgrade. I purchased and installed a pair of eminence Legend EM12N neodymium speakers. Which are voiced more like Electro-Voice 12L. They handle 200 Watts RMS each so that increase the Headroom. Now it sounds closer to a vintage Twin Reverb it has that sparkle without hitting the bright switch

You need to try and eq the tonemaster to the real twin. Even if u took 2 vintage twins with the same eq they will still sound different due to aging resistors capacitors and transformers. The circuitry is different so of course it's not going to sound the same at the same settings. Try to tweak it to sound like the original.

I've always been a fan of (original) '65 Twins, but pristine examples are rare (and expensive). Most bear some evidence of those ubiquitous slings & arrows of outrageous fortune so prevalent in the musicians' realm and are typically in need of some TLC. One can grow weary from the hunt for the right vintage tube amp. . . So, in 2020, I acquired a reissue '65 Twin Reverb and couldn't be happier. As discussed, there is a very subtle darkening aspect to the peak treble & bass tones; but, the mids are profound--mix well, yet never get lost. It's also worth mentioning just how great the clear channel is for pedal applications. Oh yes, it is quite capable of being loud--and I do mean LOUD--and yet bell-clear when that's what you need. Then there are the Laws of Physics--specifically, Gravity . . . Yes, the only downside is the weight. Gigging isn't a really consideration these days; so, the Twin Reverb stays in the studio mounted to a furniture dolly (saves my back). I think it's found a home there, and that's fine with me.

Lol I did not expect that. I researched later and I think it showed they are only 33 pounds. That is very nice compared to almost 90 pounds…

This is a nice review, but there are a few issues that you should note when making your decision. I wish the player had played the same riffs on all 3 so it would be easier to hear the differences. I like that he tried them all on the same settings, but I also wish that he had tried to dial in the amps so that they sound as alike as possible. As noted in the video, there's a difference in the volume controls, therefore there's a difference in the way that any of the knobs works. EQ is essentially another kind of volume control.

Let me start by saying that Ryan is compelling presenter, a Stellar guitar player and has excellent taste in his choice of personal amplifier. Please accept my apologies for saying this but his knowledge of amplifier circuitry could have used a little more vetting with regard to the technical aspects. I have never encountered a "paper transistor" in my 45 some odd years of (medical/Industrial/musical instrument) electronics repair nor have I encountered "a rubber one". I suspect he was alluding to the fact that we don't build transformers with paper insulation any more (unless trying to capture some vintage "mojo"). I did understand what he was trying to get across with regards to building a modern device compliant with contemporary safety standards which was the whole point of his mentioning such things in the first place. Moving on to my opinion of the Tonemaster compared to the tube amplifiers, I have previously experienced a blind audition comparison test and the modeled simulation comes close but does not meet the sonic standard set by the original. This comparison test confirmed that personal opinion again. There are pros and cons to both technologies. Vintage amplifiers or anything with vacuum tubes require maintenance and care but are generally repairable over many decades. Newer technology offers convenience (less weight and more reliability during its EXPECTED service life) but contemporary manufacturing practices mean that extending the service life of these amplifiers might be difficult if not impossible. Considering the price of the Tonemaster, I would opt for the new tube Twin if I did not already own a vintage Fender amp (or 4).

This video would have been more helpful if he didn’t keep changing pickup switch positions. Even when he said “you won’t even hear me talk, I’ll just switch from one amp to another” as soon as the amp changed the switch position also changed at the same time. That’s not really an A/B/C of the amps…instead it is a confusing run-through of neck bridge pickup combos. Would have been much more helpful to go through all three amps in each respective pickup position instead of the other way around.

I do agree though that the original Fenders lived in the upper frequencies and could ALWAYS be heard in the mix. For me, I would rather have an amp that can hide in the mix and come out when wanted, any of these could do that with the right settings. P.S. I enjoyed the video, but why did Sweetwater Ok this video that makes the vintage one seem to win? A balanced editorial at the end would have helped people not feel like they bought the "wrong thing".

I bought a new 68 twin reverb (tubes) and it sounds great. I bought it because my 75 was in need of repair . When I played the new 68 for a few week then got the 75 back it was like died and went to heaven the sound was SO MUCH better than the new 68 Twin I bought.

It's not just the modern circuitry and some of the electronics that are the difference. Fender is using less expensive electronics in their reissue tube amps because they can save a tiny amount of money. They're also using very inexpensive lead free solder, which doesn't effect the tone, but will reduce reliability over time as the solder joints will break as the amps heat and cool from use. PCB layout is negligable as long as you are putting distance between components which get very hot and will cook others nearby. The problem is, pedals are coming out that sound exactly llke some of the most iconic amps ever built, so there's not a really great reason to buy some of these expensive reissues anymore, unless nostalgia has you, or you feel the need to brag to others who probably don't care.

Then compare it to another amp. Without a bunch of talk. Then you can talk about the "darkness" or whatever. Show that. Illustrate what you mean. Playing long sequences is simply parroting what other misguided "professionals" do. Come on brother. Compare! Then if you want to play long passages showing what you mean, by all means do so.

I hate to say it, but the vintage one sounds the best to me. The Tonemaster sounds wooly in comparison.

EACH TWIN NEEDS IT OWN EQ SETTING, YOU CANT REALY SET ALL TO THE SAME NUMBER ON THE KNOB. AS TESTED EACH AMP IS VERY DIFFERENT. TWIN OWNER

I don't disagree, but remember how he has the tone set! Treble and 4 and bass and mids cranked.

These side by side comparisons are, IMHO, utterly useless. What's the purpose of setting all the knobs to the same setting,? All you get out of that comparison is the sound difference at one particular setting, missing the point . Suggest setting the reference amp up to a particular preference, then use whatever settings are necessary to get the competitors to sound as close the reference as possible. Whenever a change is made to the reference, try matching the actual sound of the competitors. Enough said....

Read my lips; unfortunately the beautiful tube amplifiers come much less because of the new era. Professionals in concert: in ears monitoring no amplifiers. Semi professionals very often with digital amplifiers or Kemper amplifiers because of the lugging in connection with their backs. The studios suddenly come with all Fender MUSTANG PLUS! Much less whining.

Why does everyone use a Gibson guitar to try out these "Fender" amplifiers??? The Fender Strat is suppose to be the "other half" of this amp because of it's combination with it. It would be nice to hear a strat or telecaster with these amps for the true fender sound.

Dude talked for 4 minutes then said "let's get right into this" then talked more😐 ffs that's almost half the video length that you should be shooting out 3 amps but instead you keep yammering on😂

The host should not be talking about amp technical details, it's obvious he knows very little about the terms he's talking about or attempting to explain. A 65 Deluxe reverb does not have transistors in it, rubber capacitors for fire safety?? What??Lol I build my own tube amps and the jargon he's trying to pass off is laughable. Sweetwater, did anyone not notice this??

Rubber capacitors and resistors? Point-to-point wiring? You're a decent player, but leave the tech talk to actual techs, bacause the amount of nonsense hurt my head.

Night and day! The vintage sounds epic, the current model darker and the Tonemaster sounds 'average'. In 10 years time the Tonemaster will be worth peanuts and starting the fail.
