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

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.

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.

Some people listen to asmr to relax. I loop Mitch Gallagher demo videos.

Definitely getting this. Someone finally nailed it.

@26:06 Don Carr's playing is so beautiful! ❤. Nicely done sir!😊

Nice! THe more competition in the modeling world, the better for the modeler user. I’m especially interested in the Fender amps in the model, in use with Strats and Tele’s.

Amazing features, wow, what tone! Great video too, thanks for sharing 🤘

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

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.

Solid demo, guys! Thank you.

It's the same exact price as the Quad Cortex just announced. Definitely agree with others here if it was a few hundred less I'd buy it over the QC. Always great demos Mitch and Don!!

Just received mine with an FR12. Thanks for the demo!

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...

Very interesting and affirmative development for the music industry.

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.

AWESOME VIDEO! Thanks you guys!

Amazing how fast tech keeps moving forward & at same time things get outdated so quickly. So many great choices these days. Thanks for great review!!

I was just telling a friend, Fender, Vox and Marshall should do their own 'Helix'. I'd buy the Vox one because they need to enter this realm too.I liked their old Tonelabs. Thank you

Never knew a 5150 could sound so funk! Love it!

I would love to have this product i.e. Fender tone master pro. ❤

Great Review Gentlemen!!

how do you determine where and when to put the effects when creating a present meaning is it best to put the effects before the amp or after the amp in the signal chain and what effects should go put before the amp and wat effects should be put after the amp

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.

This unit would be a great match for my Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster. But I have to be honest with myself, I'm not looking for a wide array of sounds. 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.

I just went from a Cyber Deluxe to a GTX 100, this looks really cool. Can’t wait to see what’s available when I figure out how to use the GTX 100!

This is the Fender version of the TC Helicon Voicelive 3 Extreme. Whatever happened to TCHelicon? They were way ahead of the game as their version came out 10 years ago.

Does a long Speaker Cable affect sound like a instrument cable does? Ive always wondered. Instrument cables usually have to be under 15' before any signal change.

Fender has created the best interface for multi effects no question. Knob/pedal control is very nice. I’m interested but only if it’s a smaller format and no more than $999

Line 6 needs to make a version of the Helix LT in exactly this form factor.

Wow Don is killing in on guitar especially about 30 mins in!

Fenderhelix looks nice.

Nice

I'd love to hear one of these next to a helix. Love the layout on this though

My unit produces hissing/grounded noise when plugged with auxillary cable. The same when it is connected to the mixer or amp. Do you think this is normal or a factory defect? My headrush doesnt have issue like this.

This is the only modeling Amp with the Kemper that has seemingly preset switching. 1.400 would be a fair price for this unit. The only worry I have is how long Fender would support a unit like this. Kemper is still receiving big updates after 12 years

Fender did an amazing job with this modeler i feel it it would be amazing modeler i think for me this modeler it would be in top ten of the best modeler digital 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌞🌞🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

im size 11 and my feet hits 2 footswitches on the hx stomp fsw spacing. these are too close...

Nice demo! Still waiting on a few more companies to throw their modelers in the ring in the next year or so...

Would love to see some of the mic 🎤 possibilities if you were to do a second follow up video?

Don is such a killer, what style can't he play? Rhetorical. Another great demo and some nice sounds.

Even though its packed full features with tons of adjustments it still sounds like all other Modlers out there(at least as they sound on KZread). I took a trip to the Sweetwater store a few months and was playing with all the modlers they had setup for demo and idk but I just can’t seem to get excited about any of the tones I heard. There is just this synthetic-ness to them that just puts me off.

Yes, and it actually looks like a device from that price range. It doesnt necessarily looks cheap, it just doesn’t look expensive.

So do you use your feet to engage the switches ? Means bending over to change settings ? Or on a table and change the switches with your hands eliminating the feet ? That’s the part I don’t get. Can someone please tell me what the go is

You can step on it, sure, but can it handle a top rope atomic elbow?

The user interface on this new Fender unit is the best I have seen from all the different "big modelers". It is very intuitive and easy to use. So much nicer than a Fractal unit. ( For the price, it should include a matching expression pedal tho. )

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

Is "song mode" the equivalent of snapshot mode from the helix?

Can you run three effect blocks in parallel?

I'm having trouble determining if this unit can be used with regular guitar amps...anyone? I see studio monitors, but passive, or active?

Is this unit going to have Bass models? I feel neglected.

Id like everyones opinion. I'm having trouble deciding on what to get: Line 6 Helix. Quad Cortex, or the fender

Everyone is harping on the price and I just don’t understand it lol. The Helix, Quad Cortex are literally the same exact price most places lol And… this is newer, fender models in it sound way better than anyone else’s, it’s cosmetically pleasing to the eye, and easier to use… what’s not to like?

They've done a good job with this. Not quite as good as the neural though for me. Andertons did a shootout with this and it came 2nd above the kemper

Fender doesnt miss.

I just got the fm3

Better sound > better price > better features. This seems to be (arguably) in the better features camp, which is less easy to get excited for. But switches that are knobs is pretty forward thinking and more than a little cool.

Fender obviously studied the competition, and then asked themselves, "How can we do all of that, but better?". Don't know if I'll be letting go of my Helix anytime soon, but this is the only other premium modelling unit that's piqued my interest at all.

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?

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. I've done a bunch of side by side on my own with an ABY switch. I think it sounds way better than the HX. Like not even close.

Basically a mustang GT 100 in a floorboard, if you feed the GT100 into a tube amp like a pedal it can sound amazing I just bought a used mustang GT100 for 169.99 and I am using it like a pedal to feed tube amps The reverb on these is meh

Now if I could just trade in $5000+ invested in 30 plus stomp boxes and multi-effect pedals in an even swap.

💙🔥💙

I like how the Tone Master Pro does the capture/profile thing. Oh wait. Darnit. It costs how much again?

In my mind a digital solutions will never substitute a real amp with his power ,sweetspots and living tone. But as an additional tool, for jamming home, specially you living in a flat where you dosent need power and trouble with your neighbours, that will be great thing to have a workstation like this. 😊

They should take 4 or 5 of the best presets and put them n a pedal plaform Way too much stuff I don't need or really want Makes me miss a chorus though

Sounds cold. UAFX Dream '65 sounds more real.

Dude, if they could just put this in a box with 4 knobs I'd buy it in a heart beat. Just sayin

My concern is Fender does a great job emulating its own amps, but fails on the Marshall and Vox sounds…likely intentionally

Great sounds, too pricey to enter the market against some stiff competition. If fender wanted this to be very successful, they needed to come in lower price (similar to what tonex did) or be way better than fractal, helix, QC, etc. (no chance)
