Standing Out From The Crowd
The digital modeler market is awash with products from brands who claim to have; the very latest, most realistic, easiest to use, most professional, the you name it - we do it, devices. Line 6, Head Rush, Neural and Kemper - to name just a few. Fender it seems, then, have come to the party somewhat late...perhaps fashionably so?
The new Fender Tone Master Pro and the Tone Master FR-12 and FR-10 Flat Response Speaker Cabinets represent Fender's. Keeping the party theme going..while they might be late, they have definitely not come empty handed! Let's see what all the fuss is about...
Tone Master Pro - Overview
Tone Master Pro is the first no-compromise multi-effects guitar workstation that features the amazing sound quality that the Tone Master series is known for. Combining a powerfully intuitive interface and the most comprehensive I/O array available, the Tone Master Pro is the best sounding, most powerful and easiest to use guitar processor ever.
Tone Master Pro features over 100 of the world's most popular amps and effects, including all of the classic Tone Master Fender models, the first officially licensed EVH 5150 III Stealth model, and other can't live without classics that have all been perfectly replicated using our proprietary Tone Master Modeling process. Tone Master Pro's lightweight, rugged, stage-friendly form factor is as beautiful as it is functional.
With a full-color touchscreen, stunning graphics, and intuitive user interface, dialing in the perfect tone has never been easier or more inspired.
Create Presets, customize your footswitch assignments and combine them to create Songs and organize into Setlists with ease. Tone Master Pro's 10 custom-designed footswitch encoders make editing a breeze, giving you instant access to all your presets and parameters and make adjustments just like you would on the real thing.

We were lucky enough to get a review item ahead of the launch day and were able to record an initial overview of the product, tone samples and our initial thoughts on the product.
Fender Tone Master Pro Range
Mic and Cab Sim For The Win
One of the most powerful features of the Tone Master Pro is the powerful Mic and Cab Simulation functionality - allowing you to simulate different mic options for your cab, and indeed - it's placement from said cabinet.
While many might regard this as an advanced feature and perhaps - not something you'll use on "day 1" of receiving the product - from our video you will notice that Mark not only found this feature quick and easy to use, but it ALSO delivered incredible performance, really bringing to life the pre-set patches in the modeler itself.
More I/O Than You Know What To Do With
One of the biggest features of the Tone Master Pro is that it is truly built around every possible user. The I/O features on the rear panel have to cover even the most advanced user in virtually all circumstances, from bedroom recording to stage or studio.
