He demos a shit ton of gear, and is generally really good at coming up with riffs or songs that work extremely well with the gear he’s using. If he really, really likes something you’ll see him use it on stage.

I know, but saying something sounds good in one of his demos is like saying water is wet. It means nothing to sound of the actual product.That's probably true but...that's not the point. He's playing through the Fender TMP...
I'm aware of that, thanks.

I had one for about a week and this was exactly my experience. Word for word.

Fender needs to get their own Cordy/Todd/Rabea thing going on where they have a great player that knows the unit inside and out and can display the tones it’s capable of, consistently and not just a 10 minute review/demo channel doing it. I think Fender has caught enough heat that I haven’t felt the need to add to any of it, but relying on the general customer base to create that content isn’t doing anyone any favors and that’s as diplomatic as I can get.
And these are the exact tones that’s referencing

How is that video even called "using it live"? Live in your bedroom, wearing socks?
Hey all, new here. I recently bought the TMP and as I was searching for info, I came across TGF and only today did I create an account. I'm the guy who was quoted 2 posts above, saying that I liked some Marshall presets (some of which you heard in the video of the guy wearing socks). More on that in a while.
Return period is over in 5 days and although the TMP has problems and the dirty amps leave a lot to be desired, I love this thing. You see I love Matt Schofield, Josh Smith, Robben Ford, you get the idea. Regarding dirty amps, I'm only interested I'm JCM800 and Plexi stuff. The Fender cleans of the TMP are unexpectedly good and very responsive. I am not experienced at modelers though. Only thing I know, I can't like the Boss GX-100 at all, but this stuff is subjective. So maybe I'd be more in love if I tried a Fractal or a QC, or not; I haven't tried them, my problem.
The Marshall presets I positively commented on at TOF (it took me lots of post reading to understand what this means!) are IMO the best version of the not good Marshalls found on the TMP. Hearing them on an amateur home video can't be enough, I heard them on the TMP and they were very nicely tuned. In defense of the person who created the home video, I think he gives us an idea from the comfort of his home of how he tunes his live presets. I happen to agree with his approach, using only 2-3 presets for a whole gig.
I am by no means a Fender fanboy, I hate the fact that the company silently de-hissed the FR cabs with no credit to the great people who came up with the solution, I hate that they don't answer lots of burning questions (I'm not blaming the Fender reps themselves but the company). I'm still considering returning the TMP but truth is I find it addictive.
I think we're all here because we share the same passion. When I read biting posts, I always think about it. Any thoughts welcome, thanks a lot for the useful stuff I've been reading in this forum.

Ignore the noise. There are likely thousands of others enjoying their Tone Master Pro.
Sure, give someone enough time and they could find faults in any product.
If if sounds good to you, that’s all that matters.
Welcome to the forum!

We’ll talk shit about anything and everything over here, we just don’t have the, uh, personality conflicts of TOP because we can all take some salt. At the end of the day it’s guitar gear and whatever gets you excited about playing and inspires you is the right piece of equipment.

If you’ve got some gear you find addicting, play the hell out of it and don’t question it, despite what dolts like myself say on the internet!
