Fender Tone Master Pro: Episode IV - A New Hope

[metropolis_4]

I have to admit, part of me was kind of hoping to struggle with getting the ‘80s metal tones for Rock of Ages out of the TMP and use that as an excuse to switch rigs… but I’m liking the tones I’m getting!

The jcm800 model might have serious flaws, but it’s working for the ‘80s metal thing. The SD-1 and DS-1 work well with it too!

My biggest gripe about the TMP so far is the culture surrounding this thing.

I suggested it would be nice to be able to adjust the bright cap on some models like the Plexi and the response I got back was that everyone hopes Fender never does that because it would destroy the purity of the design since the whole purpose of the TMP is simplicity and not needing to even see controls like that.

Every Device Has A Cult.

I don't get it ..it's weird.

That sounds like a mnemonic device, but I can’t think of what it could stand for

It’s true, it’s so weird how these cultures start to develop among groups of users of a common device.

Try being a HR user......hated outside their own forums .... cannot be critical in them, or else ...banned .....what is one to do?

Right now I’m playing the game “does this thing sound better than it used to or have my ears just forgotten what better modelers sound like?”

In a culture with few lasting foundations for people to source meaning in, other than
consumerism, it makes perfect sense that we could find meaning and significance in life
to an allegiance to what we purchase and attach to ourselves as figures of identity making.

In a sense, we are all constantly taking part in an effort to brand ourselves. Or get "branded"
unwittingly.

Don’t worry, we don’t hate you here

I have a feeling I’m headed towards being ostracized from the TMP community so maybe we can form a club

Very insightful and true… but also very deep and heavy for a Friday morning before work

One guy told me he did not know of any tube amp that has a bright cap

There seem to be more and more players who have no experience with actual tube amps because they’ve only used digital.

This guy thought a bright cap was a digital thing that didn’t exist on actual amps

Woah- Headrush has a forum? I figured they’d just piggyback onto the 11 Rack forum …
