Fender Tone Master Pro: Episode IV - A New Hope

[laxu]

There are very few exceptions where I can be bothered to watch a video on anything at all. If I'm looking for usage tips, or reviews, or almost anything else, I'd rather get a quickly digestible wall of text than a video I have to watch/ listen to in "real time". Ain't nobody got time for that. (Though I'll happily spend hours bantering with you guys.) One upshot is: I still have no idea what TPS stands for.

TPS = That Pedal Show

Totally agree. I hate how so much content has become video only because that's more lucrative than text on websites.

Toilet Paper Shuffle.

You know when you run out of toilet paper and you have to shuffle about the house with your pants down around your ankles looking for a spare roll?

Personally, I find Dougs' videos pretty boring, I don't learn anything important from them. But I find the attacks on him childish. It pisses me off that a bunch of losers hidden behind their keyboards are always attacking people who are enthusiastic and make things happen.

I'll own up to having "punched down". Apologies - and a realistic acknowledgement that it will surely happen again.

That said, what things is he "making happen", exactly?

I’m not gonna make fun of him 97% of the time. The other 3% though…

The guy seems generally nice. So I don't fault him there. He can't really play to any notable degree and he's demonstrating how to use a device that is as deep as a thimble. So the need or desire to spend my time watching his content with all this in mind is non-existent.

Yeah, I've definitely spent way more time typing about his videos than I have actually watching them. As with most things...

The thing with him is he is going to eventually run out of things to vlog about because, well; they aren't adding anything to it at any sort of even turtle speed rate

He'll have to change his glasses and buy an FM3.

"Who is this new guy?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

That was kind of what prompted him to adjust his trajectory I am betting in the first place. If I have to choose between Leon who can basically melt faces to infinity ANNNNNNNND explain how to use whatever FASthing here and Doug.....um........

I don’t know who Doug is, but I’m glad he’s found someone to defend him against us heartless TGF losers hidden behind our keyboards

If only you made YouTube videos about how you didn't know how to change pedal batteries instead of playing in a mountain of paying gigs in all sorts of environments for decades; you too could have a brave defender.

Come on guys cut Doug some slack

He was cut a great deal of slack around here and TOP for a while.

Things changed when he would not accept that he was factually incorrect and blatently wrong about his aliasing results video where his interpretation was the opposite of what was true. Then he became more hostile towards those that were simply trying to explain that he was wrong and why he was factually incorrect, and woudln't back down. The mood changed and got a little uglier after that.

That's how I recall it anyway. A lot of those posts have since been deleted.

He brought it on himself with the ugly way he handled the aliasing episode. The only thing he made happen was attacks on anyone who disagreed with him. In the end they were right and he was wrong.

 

[metropolis_4]

Ooooh, that’s who Doug is! Ok, I’ve caught up with the group now

I have it on fairly good authority fender will e releasing a new combo this summer that will be some variation of the tonemaster pro in a combo format. Whether it's be a new mustang or called the TM i dunno I also dont know this is a fact but i have good reason to believe it. And if true it could potentially put a dent in Kat gen 3 sales. I hope if it is indeed in the works this pushes fender to release it sooner. I for one don't like the core sound of the Kat having owned one and i doubt this will be any different. Probably just a better version of what i dont like and with far less features and effects then fender. I admit i AM curious about the kat gen 3 but i certainly won't be buying
