Hi guys! This channel is going to be presenting tips and tricks for your Fender Tone Master Pro, Fractal FM9, Helix Floor, Tonex and more - one topic at a time. There is so much territory to cover with these wonderful beasts - and it can get overwhelming. This series is going to be a "how to" guide, and I'll do my best make it user-friendly. Feel free to suggest new topics, I'd love the feedback!

Hello! I have a question: is there a way to put the Fender ToneMaster Pro in "Standby Mode", without having to turn it off and on again? since it takes a while to start.. Thank you!!
Hi Doug ! I wonder whether you can show us how to create a nice organ or Hammond sound. I would like to simulate it with my guitar. Thx. Thorsten
Hey Doug, great content as always, love your videos! I had a suggestions for a future video: A video about the noise gates in the TMP. It seems every amp model has a built-in noise gate that can be set to either Off, Low, Medium, High, or Max. But then there are also a few pedals as well, Metal Gate, Noise Gate, and Simple Gate. Maybe you could discuss the Threshold and Attenuation parameters and how they function. Thank you for all the TMP videos!
Can you do a drop d tuning using tone master pro?
Can you do a drop d tuning using the tone master pro?
I was so disappointed when I installed the update. The third-party IRS I have on presets were all changed to a Blues Junior curve, sounded like crap and were drastically quieter. I was not happy trying to figure it out
The default for me is a 4x12 GB curve. But it's easy - just find a curve that closely matches your IR. Before this they were all using the default curve, and that REALLY sounded like crap. Are you using a lot of IRs?
I'm looking for the Doug B' BFG preset on the cloud. Is it now there anymore or am i just blind.
You can find "Doug B's BFG v 12" and "Doug B's BFG" on the Cloud. Do a search on "bfg" and they both show up 👍
Thanks
Thank you so much!
Hey Doug, dumb question...so obviously you are running through the TMP, but what are you doing after that ? Into a DAW or through a speaker cab that's miked? I like your tone do I'd like to replicate what you do
I record the TMP into Logic Pro (my DAW). Then I bounce that file and match it with my video. Thanks for asking 👍
Man another great video! Fender should be paying Doug!
Doug ,how do you know all that ? it s not that clear on the fender instruction. . I thought it would be more intuitive than that
It seems pretty intuitive to me, much easier than Helix or Fractal
Doug what is your delay Big Al lead ruler ?
That's just a block preset that I made for the Stereo Tape Echo.
HELLO again Doug. still a lot of problem with editing a song setlist .. when I go to search ch icon and I put a number of preset or a name preset , nothing is found ??? and when I click on the plus button it s only finding the "songs" list but not all the presets ??? and when I want to add a preset to "songs" it dose t work anymore ??it would be cool to have a " glisser/ reposer function "
Here's the process: 1) You build all of the PRESETS you need for a SONG. 2) Create a SONG, which is made up of up to 6 PRESETS. 3) Repeat steps 1 & 2 to create a list of SONGS. 4) Now you can create a SETLIST, which is made up of numerous SONGS. If you're creating a SETLIST, don't search for PRESETS. Search for SONGS.
@@DougBsDigitalDen thanks I will try that…
Hey Doug once again Marcus Damian here just wanted to reach out to you on this video as well that you just posted once again may not be important but I think it is and I think would be a game changer for the tone Master pro and maybe you can relate this to the guys at fender The idea is for all of us musicians who like to use our affectionates in stomp or manual mode off and on switches then making all 10 switches on the tone master pro would be ideal that way you have more to choose from pedal wise and it just make it a lot easier for us who want to add multiple things on one preset and on top of that I guess with the new update if they can add a few more pedals like The wazecraft metal zone the MXR phase 95 boss blues driver maybe even the new pack rat pedal and maybe even the MXR super badass distortion I think those would be a few good pedals that would be a pretty good game changer for the tone Master pro and once again all 10 switches and stomp mode trust me it's a game changer and I think a lot of players out there would appreciate it especially me being the funk r&b player that I am just a little idea for your Doug anyway my brother loved the videos keep them coming......
I think that's already been added to the wishlist. So in other words, you want to use just one preset with 10 different effects that you can turn on and off, right?
You are such a nice person Mr. B. Well explained.
Hey Doug this is Marcus Damian here I love my tonemaster pro My only question to you is maybe you can relate to the guys at fender is maybe if they can make all 10 switches available and stomp mode that way I can set a pedal to all switches individually because of the fact that I don't really use tap tempo and I think having all 10 switches would be a step up for this board because it is such a great unit so would be one thing just to relate to you and I noticed that you have talked to my nephew a few times which is Sheldon Fisher you actually played one of his funk videos I'm also a funk player in the business for a long time played with a lot of different people in the business and I'm a producer as well so it's definitely nice to meet you Doug and once again if you can relay that idea about using all 10 switches in manual or stomp mode that would be great and I'll probably send you a video or two of me playing as well so keep those videos coming my brother thanks again...
You're Sheldon's uncle? Nice to meet you! Would love to hear you playing 👍
Many thanks Doug for your tutorial help ,I wouldn’t have find the way to do it by myself…it’s more clear now and it will help for other songs …I still have issues with building a song set list ,but I just discover the fender tone master pro …it ‘s a good feeling you took care of my problem and fix it in this video , again,many thanks
You are very welcome!
Hello, all: I am the one who requested Doug's help in using the Helix with the TMP. Doug, one word: FABULOUS! Your tutorials are well presented and laid out perfectly. Step by step instructions are really needed when dealing with digital and computer-oriented gear. Your approach is perfect; it could not be better. I have my Helix One, but I have three gigs this coming week. After that, I am going to follow your steps and start making some new presets. One question, though: what is the digital numeric readout on the table at the bottom left of your screen?
Great video, thanks! I'm trying to get my TMP to work with my Boss GM-800 in a slightly different way (MIDI control, parallel path w/ stereo loop 3/4 acting as a stereo input, and going to output 2), but the MIDI implementation document by Roland is hard for me to understand. Doug, do you happen to have a GM-800 sitting around somewhere? (or can you make a video explaining how to read similar MIDI implementation doc?) It's a pain stomping both boxes to switch sounds. UPDATE: I got it to work! using channel 1, PC XXX works for switching to preset XXX up to 128, for 129-150 you need to switch banks by specifying CC 32 = 1 (haven't tried switching to presets above 128 yet). I'll try to figure out how to activate CTL buttons over MIDI next.
Wow, they make that MIDI chart unnecessarily complex! They've listed most of the values in hexadecimal, and I haven't seen that in decades. Congrats on getting it to work 👍
heh, baby blue...badfinger. the 60-70's music was magical. one of my bside favs kzread.info/dash/bejne/eouGwdl8dNeWcaw.htmlsi=wE8J0al4TiSWNjgE
Hi Doug, I want to thank you for your ongoing support for all of us TMP owners. You are the MAN! God bless you and all you love!
You are very welcome!
hello lot of problem with song and setlist ;;on setlist the search symbol never find any song???? and when I clic on th plus button , it says new setlist but do not go on the my presets list or favorites list or fender list ??? don t understand not at all .. can you help ? thanks a lot. Michel
I have a video coming out for you on Friday 👍
I play in a cover band that uses the poly capo all the time (so singer can sing in key that suits and I can still play open strings) and line6 does the best poly pitch shift I’ve found. I’ve been considering doing exactly this so many thanks!
Just to let you know, the Fender reps confirmed on Discord that a poly pitch was in the works for the TMP. However, my guess would be the earliest it would arrive is Dec in the next major firmware update.
@@ts8lemonade that’s great to hear many thanks 🙏
How about a comparison between the king of cab and mic modeling (UA OX stomp in the stereo digital effects loop in the TMP) and the TMP speaker and mic modeling. In my experience every model sounds better with UA speaker modeling.
That could be fun, but it's $400 and it doesn't have a MIDI 5-pin connector. So there's no way to program it to respond to the TMP. Looks cool tho.
You can get them for MUCH cheaper now. They sell for prices in the 200s. I have 2 myself. I have noticed that speaker emulation is a HUGE part of the sonic quality of any model. This is shown in several model comparisons on KZread. One in particular compared the UA dream to the TMP deluxe 65. You would think that they would sound similar. Not even close. This is primarily due to the speaker emulation, not the amp modeling. I tested this by putting a dream (with cab sim off) in loop 3 of the TMP and an ox stomp in loop 4 of the TMP. Using switch link A for the TMP cab and loop 4 to toggle them independently of the deluxe TMP amp model and the dream 65 in loop 3. I was able to get almost identical tones when removing the cab differences. The differences were distinguishable at the “Nashville lead” setting of the 65 deluxe (max treble, min Bass, and max volume with guitar volume and tone to taste), but after putting an eq block after the TMP model to cut some bass and add a touch of air I could not distinguish between the dream 65 and the TMP model). You are correct that the ox does not have midi and that is a limiting factor, however it does allow quick switching between 4 different models with the 2 foot switches. I would have a hard time justifying the need for more than 4 models live. If you are in the studio the app connectivity gives a lot more options. The differences between what the OX does and any IR and SIC combination is night and day. I now have 2 ox stomps for stereo cabs 16 permutations stereo and another 8 mono. I cannot over state how much the ox tech helps get classic tones (maybe not for metal). I have had the FM 9, HELIX floor, tonex, all the UA amp sims, and the TMP (haven’t tried or had the itch for a QQ or Kemper) the ox tech blew away any internal speaker sim and leveled the playing field on amp sims when comparing between units using a independent loop switcher to the extent that it shifted my main priority from accuracy of amp models to accuracy of effects and ease of use on the interface (both of which the TMP shines). This was not welcome news to me as I am in the process of downsizing and would prefer a single unit with an exp or two over having to add another power source and 500a power hungry pedals without midi, but I could not ignore the findings. Maybe one day I will try putting this test up on KZread. Until then my ideal scenario would be an all inclusive modeler with OX speaker sim. I am not loyal to any one brand so I don’t care if it comes from a lic agreement between any of the aforementioned brands or UA developers provide an all in one updatable unit at a competitive price. Until that day TMP, 2 exp, 2 UA stomp it is.
I would be interested in a video about effects loop 4 stereo also can we use the tmp to do a wet dry wet rig?
Hey Doug, have you found any latency using the digital loops on the TMP? I’d be interested in seeing you test out effects in stereo using loops 3 and 4. Thanks. 👍
I haven't noticed any latency, but I'm not noted for my blinding speed 😉
4:38 Thats the reason why someone impulse sound better on oryginal gear that captured it, than on gear that we use with that ir. I always thinking that Ir sound best and really good only on gear that was used with it to capture with the same parameters, glad to know that my ear didnt lie me :=) Ir impendence curve Thats a key to Real GameChanger, if someone could make it somehow automatic matching.
Another great video! I almost bought a Rockerverb III head but looks like I won’t need to drop that 3k on the half stack now!
Um….what are the input sources? Lol
Sorry, that's one of my first videos, and I had no idea what I was talking about.
Hi! Thank you for all of the videos on your channel. I have not pulled the trigger on the TMP yet. The only hesitation I have is I need something for gigs and whatever I choose will have to have the chance of causing a train wreck be almost zero. That being said could you expand on this video and show how I would integrate what you do here into a set list? Let’s say I set this up for song 5 in the second set. How would one go about doing that?
I have a question. If I am using the tone master pro as my interface via USB, and I have one amp head going into two different cabs with different mics, can I record the two cabs on two different tracks in my daw? If so how is that done?
Is it possible to sample the Tone Net preset in the bottom panel just by clicking on it before moving it to the upper panel and overriding an existing preset. It says on mine there are 473 presets in that bottom panel out of the box new. When I try to sample it by clicking on it nothing changes. I’m still on the upper preset selected in the pedal. It would be nice to sample it right there without having to go to it in the separate Tone Net section. Thanks for any information.
I liked this and then thought of something else I wanted to do, dual signal paths for acoustic and electric guitars for my Carvin AE185 acoustic and electric guitar. This could also acclimate two players simultaneously, one on acoustic and one on electric. I’ll make the acoustic the default path and leave the electric empty, because I tend to change electric pedals more than acoustic. Awesome! Thanks again, Doug.
Picked up my TMP yesterday. Updated firmware, connected to a Spark CAB, and was scrolling through default presets within 10 minutes. I’m blown away. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed and I have struggled getting dialed in with my Boss Katana Artist mark II. With the TMP there is no struggle. Today I’m going to experiment with running output 1 to the Spark CAB and output 2 to the power amp section of the Katana, Fender Hot Rod Deville, and some other amps. The TMP is by far the best piece of gear I’ve purchased in a long time. I consult Doug’s Digital Den for clear, concise instruction. Thank you Doug. Peace! Kevin
Have fun, and thanks for watching!
So informative thanks Doug
Great review and demo of the new effects Doug. Thank you for the background info on the pedals as well.
ftm은 너무 해상도가 낮고 저음이 강조되어 진짜 소리같지 않아요.
Fender is certainly hitting the market full force. From high end to even budget friendly, I just reviewed their squier debut... wish there was a beginner guitar back when I started with that quality.
Everybody chases an elusive tone in their head. My first pedal in about 1974 was a used Big Muff. I probably traded it away. Mistake. I've tried many since. That was the best one. The one in the TMP seems pretty authentic.
I love the videos, thanks so much Doug! Truly great TMP demos But you can't play FUNK to save your life, hahaha
Thanks so much for doing these videos on the TMP, it's very helpful. I did the latest firmware update weeks ago, but still hadn't checked out the new FX yet.
Great video! Thank you! I have two tone master amps, a twin and priceton, love them. Hope Fender can make a cheaper version of this floor unit!
The firmware update process is needlessly complicated. Why not let us download and install the firmware through the app? My Apple computer doesn’t even have a USB port, so I need a bus to connect it etc.
Somebody did that with a tablet, maybe the iPad Pro. It still has to be connected via USB tho. I don't know of any modeler that allows you to update the firmware wirelessly.
Doing a top job 👍👍 I hope fender model a dumble and train wreck at some point.
Another great video Your videos have taught me so much and have really made a huge difference in my enjoyment of the TMP! Every TMP owner out there should subscribe to this channel!
I've noticed that from your channel that you are not afraid to answer questions from guitarists who aren't really that knowledgeable about gear. I am am one of those people, even though I am a programmer and has a specific knowledge of programming computers and/or games it's very narrow. So, I have no real knowledge of guitar technology, I play but that's about it. Now, if I where to make a jump and buy a Fender Tone Master Pro, what else would I need to buy to get it working with Pro Tools. Again I don't have much knowledge of Pro Tools either but I own it, for better or worse. I have an Eleven Rack, but, using that with Pro Tools was a doddle when I got it, it acts as an interface and made everything so easy when I got it, many moons ago. Now not so much and the Eleven Rack is heavily dated (except some sounds are very good), I was using it with Bias FX2. So, I have my guitar, studio monitors (attached to the Eleven Rack), an FR speaker, what else would I need to buy to getting it to work with a TMP, and how would I go about connecting it up, to the computer, so that it will work and "record" with pro-tools or Reaper (something which I have never used but is cheap)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
The TMP has drivers that turn it into an audio interface on Win11 and MacOS. If you have Win10, it won't work, nor will the control app. Although you could get by with the Android/iOS versions to use the app, you'll need a computer to upgrade firmware. I came from BiasFx2 with the Riff as my interface into Bandlab and the TMP works effortlessly as well. The TMP comes with a 10 ft USB-C cable to connect to your laptop and has a port in the back of the unit. Bandlab (Pro Tools, too) recognize the TMP as an audio interface just fine. Doug can answer about connections, but the TMP could surely replace the Eleven rack and connect easily to your studio monitors via XLR outs on the back. Check out the user manual on the bottom of this page to see all the input/outputs: www.fender.com/en-US/tone-master-pro.html
If you have a fairly recent computer with a USB-C port, you'll have the gear that you need. I'm not familiar with Pro Tools, but I would imagine your computer would recognize the TMP as an audio interface. You could connect the speakers directly to the TMP and put that Eleven Rack out to pasture 😉
@@kevinstahl8834 At the moment I am using Win 10. So I will need that looked at to get it upgraded to Win11. I had a program on my computer for whatever reason telling me I could not upgrade it to win 11, but, I not so convinced.
Hey Doug, i have an idea for upcoming videos.. with every firmware update including the recent, you could cut together a 'all amps' and 'all pedals ' video super cut, there's recently no such overview video in this level of detail that you deliver on KZread and you could generate a lot of clicks just by cutting the 'all new effects' and 'all new amps' videos into the original from the release.. the you'd just have to update after each update
KZread doesn't like it if you re-use whole videos, but I could make an "All Amps v 2" and an "All Effects v 2" after the next major update 👍
@@DougBsDigitalDen i mean that would be even better 😍🤘
@@DougBsDigitalDen I'll make shure to promote your channel in my friend groups and bands, you're really doing an awesome job, Doug, much love from Germany 🇩🇪
Try "low pass" with the "up" setting for the Jerry Mutron! Middle pickup.
I'll give it a try, thanks!
Cool new effects, the TMP is starting to shape up into being a really cool unit!
First!!
Nice!
