Dozens of masterfully modeled amplifiers
For performing and recording guitarists worldwide, Fender's Tone Master amplifier launch in 2019 marked a revolution. The company's iconic amplifier models had never been so rich, dynamic, and utterly authentic in a digital format, with each model capturing the vintage-style soul of its tube-based predecessor. And while these amplifiers are a superb choice for guitarists seeking a traditional combo amp experience, what if you could gig out with an entire stable of Tone Master amplifiers?
Enter the Fender Tone Master Pro: An industry-defining digital amp and effect unit that not only includes every current Tone Master amp model but also provides a veritable history lesson in the world's most legendary non-Fender tube amplifiers. Hard-rock stacks, '50s tweed, an officially licensed EVH 5150 III Stealth model, and modern high-gain fury — the Tone Master Pro's amplifier collection runs the sonic gamut. Best of all, every single amp model is captured leveraging the same stringent Tone Master process found on Fender's Tone Master combo amps.
Every stompbox you'll ever need
What good is a world-class amplifier stable without an equally impressive collection of effects? Apparently, Fender's Tone Master Pro designers share our sentiment, as this unit is packed to the brim with laser-precise models of the most sought-after effects in guitar history! From character-filled analog-style delay to ripping overdrive stalwarts, each effect found on the Tone Master Pro was subject to the same exacting Tone Master modeling process utilized to capture the amps, resulting in a truly mesmerizing menagerie of ultra-authentic stompbox simulations.
Intuitive, inviting workflow
Any Sweetwater guitarist will tell you that the digital amp modeling market is an extremely competitive environment. However, two qualities truly set the Tone Master Pro apart from the pack: the immaculate accuracy of its amp/effect models and its truly effortless workflow. The critical component here is the Tone Master Pro’s 7-inch touchscreen. This immensely powerful tool allows you to drag-and-drop detailed graphic representations of your amps and effects in your signal flow, supplying a far more visual and intuitive operation than a text-based or menu-heavy process. Paired with the touchscreen are two rotary knobs and 10 footswitches/encoders (which can be twisted to modify on-screen amp knobs!), each fit with a scribble strip for an instant visual readout of the switch’s current function — which often changes drastically depending on the Tone Master Pro’s respective mode.
Over 6,000 impulse response configurations
Unless you’re playing through one of Fender’s full-range, flat-response powered cabinets, having a top-class impulse response is a must to achieve a truly authentic in-the-room tone. Luckily, the Tone Master Pro comes equipped with a whopping 6,000+ IR configurations, featuring an extensive IR section chock-full of cab simulations, classic microphone clones, mic positions, on/off-axis options, and more. Plus, if you’d rather pair the Tone Master Pro with your own tried-and-true sounds, it’s a breeze to upload third-party IRs.
Conquer the stage with Song and Set List modes
The “Pro” in the Tone Master Pro is no empty claim — whether you’re jamming out in your bedroom or touring the world’s most extravagant stages, this immensely powerful unit was built from the ground up to serve as the keystone of any professional-grade rig. Case in point: The Tone Master Pro’s innovative Song/Set List modes allow you to craft in-depth presets for each of your gig’s tracks and combine them for a gig-ready set list.
For instance, set list mode allows you to configure your footswitch layout right down to the sections of your song. Looking to run a reverb-heavy clean Fender amp for your verse and a high-gain, delay-laden preset for your solo? Easy: simply set each of your respective presets to the Tone Master Pro’s footswitches, then select the label on the scribble strip (verse, chorus, solo, and so on) so you know when to stomp it during your performance. You can even leave specific notes for each song on the touchscreen to remind yourself of different tunings, what song requires which of your guitars, lyrics, and more.
Extensive I/O ready for the stage, studio, and practice room
Whether running straight into a PA, into a powered cab, or recording through your audio interface, the Tone Master Pro’s extensive I/O section has you covered. This unit boasts a Mic/Line XLR input (with built-in 48V phantom power), a standard instrument input, and dual XLR and instrument outputs. Four FX loops (two analog "fuzz-friendly" loops and two digital loops) are available to integrate all of your favorite outboard effects, and FX loops two and three can be combined to function as single stereo FX loops. Need a late-night jamming companion? Plug your headphones into Tone Master Pro’s 1/4-inch headphone jack, then stream your favorite tracks to jam along using Bluetooth or the aux in.
For players who require the utmost control of their rig, the Tone Master Pro also features full MIDI functionality along with two expression jacks, a toe switch jack, and an amp control jack. Lastly, the USB port unlocks the Tone Master Pro's audio interface capabilities, transforming it into the centerpiece of your recording rig!
Free firmware updates
The Fender Tone Master Pro includes free firmware updates over USB. These updates not only provide you with numerous new amp models, cabinets, and effects to add to your tonal arsenal but also a wealth of exciting feature enhancements. Such releases have already introduced a range of player-requested features, including a user-selectable reference frequency to the Tuner and user footswitch layout options for Songs. Other additions include new parameters, an extended Delay range from 1ms to 2,000ms, and up to three minutes of recording time on the built-in looper. The number of block presets has increased to 500, allowing you to customize and save even more settings for individual effects or amp blocks for use in your rigs. Also, the Tone Master Pro supports MIDI over USB, allowing you to eliminate the 5-pin connector for streamlined device connections, and offers integration with Fender Studio Pro (sold separately), enabling hands-free control.
