Fender Tone Master Pro: Episode IV - A New Hope

On the AM4,

Add Amp block, select the amp you want - boom done.

Yeah, it's a step in the right direction for sure. I'm curious how/if they'll implement that kind of design ideas into the newer stuff.

I didn’t know that, I haven’t really looked at the AM4.

Love the concept though, it’s probably what I would go for if I was moving back to Fractal

Pull up an amp, then exit the amp block, then add a cab block, then connect the cab block to the amp block, then open the cab block, then open the list of cabs, then find the one you want, then exit the cab block, then add a reverb block, then connect the reverb block, then open the reverb block, then select a reverb, then close the reverb block, then add a tremolo block, then connect the tremolo block, then open the tremolo block, then select a tremolo, then close the tremolo block, then connect an output block, then play.

Need to adjust the EQ and the reverb level and the tremolo depth?

- Open the amp block, then adjust what you need, then close the amp block, then open the reverb block, then adjust, then navigate to the tremolo block, then adjust.


TMP - Pull up a Deluxe Reverb, then play.

Need to adjust the EQ and the reverb level and the tremolo depth?

- Tap on the amp, adjust everything you need.

Again, not a huge deal, not that I think the Fractal is bad, but a little QOL thing I enjoyed about my time using the TMP.

You said it right the first time. Different tastes. And as noted above, the AM4 considerably simplifies things. I often started with factrory presets on my FM9T, too, though. Which was easy and worked for me.

To me, the TMP, for its darn near Fisher-Price level of simple and easy, still feels half baked and incomplete. For another person I know, it's absolutely heaven. There's nothing to debate, and there never really was. They're different products suited to different guitar players. An AM4 and VP4 combo could (and very well may) cover me for over a decade to come, and it's already complete for what I value right now.
