Tone Master Super Reverb 4x10" 45-watt Combo Amp Review

Should be called Tone Monster series

I have followed the Tone Master series since it first came out, through each release and upgrade and really got interested when the Super Reverb got added I was quick to find one to try. After a test run I quickly ordered one from Sweetwater and love it. As long as you are not sitting side by side with the tube version (because why? that would kill someone's ears!) it is 100% pulling… read more it's weight delivering what the tube version does. It sounds as good, responds as well, cleans up, and all with a power attenuation that lets you enjoy the Super's sweet tones without going deaf and getting a knock on the door from local law enforcement about the noise. A no brainer for anyone that loves Fender, Supers, and great tone. Do your ears and back a favor and nab a TM. I couldn't be happier with my decision to do so.

XLR plug location

The only complaint I have with this amp is the XLR Jack location. Because of the cabinet it's in a position that makes it difficult to access the release button to remove the XLR plug when your finished using it.

This amp is a bad mamba jamba

This is one heck of a good amp. Let it be known, that I've always been just a skeptical as any other Fender amp purist out there of the solid state game, but Fender really got it right here. Are there differences between this, and a true handwired 65 SR? Absolutely, but I don't consider the differences to be "bad". First, of all the Tonemaster amps, this is the only one that has… read more real Alnico Jensens, and they sound fantastic. Sure, I do prefer the sound of a real 65, and I think the reverb/tremolo sounds substantially better on the OG's, however, it still sounds great on this despite being digital. I will say, that while this amp won't get you to 100% of what you'd get from a 1965, it will get you about 95% of the way there, at a fraction of the cost, and a fraction of the weight, and when you're mic'd up on stage, the difference is so minimal you won't hear it. Sure, in a studio setting, I'll take the OG every time, but for a working, gigging musician, I'll take this to any gig over that heavy, unreliable vintage amp. This amp is a god send for any gigging musician. It's a fantastic sounding amp, and the attenuator is wonderful and doesn't ruin the sound as mose attenuators do. It doesn't break up exactly the way a tube amp would, but it still sounds absolutely fantastic. There are trade offs with any amp. The real one sounds perfect, but it's such an inconvenience to take to a gig, this also sounds almost as good, but it's a delightfully easy amp to get around, and it won't require a second mortgage to buy. Overall, this thing is fantastic, and to be honest, I've been plugging my esquire into this thing more than my original lately and setting the attenuation low and I love the sound of it. For the price, there's nothing to be unhappy about here. I love it, Fender quality at its best.
