If I had to sell everything, Id end up with one of these.
If they are so incredible why is someone always selling one on here on average once a week?
Plus what it's emulating is miles away from a 5e3 circuit too.
That last point is a big one. An amp you can lift with one finger, has a built in attenuators so you never have to compromise your settings, has zero (ZERO) background hiss or noise and a great DI out so it doesn't need to be mic'd up, can act as an interface, and can work brilliantly at conversation volumes at home etc
I gig a bit, go to rehearsals more or less weekly, cart it up stairs when I get home etc. It's perfect for that. A valve amp, by comparison, is a massive pain in the arse, not to mention an expensive and noisy one.
Worth the trade off, totally. I won't go back.
Zac Childs loves it, and he appears to be an aficionado of sorts.
I know I’m perfectly happy with Amplitube Fender tones, so digital modelling is not a problem for me. In theory I should be the perfect customer for a TMDR or TMPR.
The 'mod' to the bright cap is applicable to both amps - I applied it to my blackface one so that the only real difference between the two is the aesthetics and the speaker.
Will say - the Jensen took quite a lot of time to properly bed in. Sounds much better now that out of the box.
And I listened to/watched the TPS episode with the shootout. I can't be the only one who thought the ToneMaster sounded markedly better, particularly when overdriven, can I? CAN I!?!?
The TPS comparison tried to split the difference with a common speaker and cab but I think a fairer comparison would have been their respective stock setups. The Jensen neo is dark and has a lovely midrange - I've never enjoyed a neo speaker nor a Jensen before this one. The ToneMaster sounds thin and bright on the TPS demo.
Also agree with them that it's at its best with some hair on its chest - I don't ever run it with the volume below 4. It's a bit stiff when run clean clean. But then that's how most blackface amps get run in the real world. A twin can get to 2.5 at a pub gig if you're willing to cause lasting damage to a few punters' eardrums.
Bought the black version on here and couldn’t get rid fast enough.
