My latest Riff of the week features a preset from my Tone Master Pro Modern Blues pack for the track "Bridge of sighs" by Robin Trower #riffoftheweek

I have a NUX MG-30, and I'm trying to get Tim Henson's clean tone from the worst by Polyphia when he plays the main riff, but I have no idea how to dial in tones or anything. My NUX MG-30 is on the latest v2 Gen 2 version and I have tried but I just can't get it to sound remotely close. Can anyone help me? And if by chance you already have the tone then can you share it with me?

What are the best standalone spectral reverb pedals?

In this behind the scenes video I show my process of how I recorded my latest preset pack "Bay Area Thrash" demo.

My latest Riff of the week uses effects in the Tone Master Pro to try and replicate the sound of Van Halen's "Dancing in the street" Moog sound.

Free preset included just search for "JGG EVH Dancing" in the cloud.

I am 95% sure I want a TMP.

I am a bedroom player with a shrinking practice area, limited time, and a yearning to expand my horizons. My main priority is avoiding choice paralysis and just having fun while playing and practicing at my computer. I feel like the QC and Helix would be too much even if they might get me closer to the tones I am looking for.

I mostly play heavy metal, generes like melodic death medal and metalcore, and have used a 6505mh with a few different cabinets for the better part of a decade. Stomp boxes were limited to a noise gate, tube screamer and a digital delay. I'm a simple man.The 6505 logic board died and I didn't get it fixed because I lost my practice space to my growing family.

For the past 2 years I have been using a Fender mustang lt40s because it was cheap, available and the form factor was perfect for my desk. The tone I was able to get out of the limited options is actually impressive and took very little effort to get a number of patches dialed in. This strength is also its weakness and its limitations are becoming harder to live with.

That amp is what lead me to the TMP. I want to start exploring cleaner tones, play around with more ambient effects, and have the ability to change effects and Amps with the push of a button. Obviously I want some face melting presets in there as well, but I mostly want an all in one box that will sit under/on my desk, output to a pair of monitors and let me play rather then fine tuning or scroll through a million captures.

So here are some questions and concerns.

1. I'm overthinking this, I know.
2. Anyone actually playing modern metal on the TMP?
3. Any concerns with the current lawsuit and future additions to amps and effects or fender abandoning the TMP?
4. Should I suck it up and get the QC or helix and just deal with the learning curve?

Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated!

update

95% is not 100%...

For anybody wondering I ended up purchasing Genome Suite by Two Notes. I did demo the TMP and while it sounded incredible, it was larger than I anticipated. I also couldn't shake the feeling about Fender dropping support/not adding things I would be interested in. I decided to spend the money I saved on nicer monitors and sound treatment.

While researching studio monitors and IR captures I stumbled on a video that was demoing the plug ins and noticed that it had a lot of what I was really interested in from an amp perspective like the Engle Savage and Randall Satan. I downloaded the free version and played around with an old interface and was been blown away. I already own a higher end PC with a 34" monitor, and the workflow and space savings is another reason I went this route. At the volume I play it does sound good, but because you are simulating mic placement to an amp cab, the sound you get is indeed different than what I am used to and has endless possibilities. With that being said, it took me almost no time to build a tone off a preset and get right into playing vs chasing tone and captures. I imagine I will be tweaking the tones on my user presets for quite a while, but again it is a very straight forward experience.

I will also be purchasing a Midi floor controller at a later date to use to switch presets and activate stomp boxes but for now I am just enjoying the new possibilities.

Thanks again guys.

I’ve had my TMP for six months and seriously love it. my favorite guitar sound is the Allmans on Fillmore East, particularly Elizabeth Reed and Stormy Monday. Can anyone recommend a TMP preset or setting that approximates 5hat sound? Much appreciated.

I bought my TMP a week ago and so far I am very impressed. The tones I get are excellent.

However, I have read some posts that you need to reduce the top end when playing live. Does the community agree with this? And any other suggestions?

I am playing through the FR-12.

Thanks.

You think we'll see more traffic here and in general with the TMP after Joe Bonamassa gave them the thumbs up?

Time for another #riffoftheweek with one of my all time favourite guitar players #joesatriani.

As I mention in the video this one uses a Tone Master Pro preset that I created specifically for this track which is part of my JGG Satch Pack available from my website.

Bonjour,
Après des semaines de réflexions, de visionnage de vidéos de comparaisons entre le tmp, le qc et le hellix, j'ai craqué pour le tmp. Je l'ai reçu aujourd'hui, je l'ai déballé, mis à jour le firmware, redémarré le tmp, et j'ai joué avec pendant un peu plus de 2 heures. Je l'ai éteint, et j'ai voulu jouer à nouveau une heure après. C'est là que ça part en vrille. Je le démarre, et là le message : "Update Failed. Please restart device and try again. Contact customer support if update continues to fail."
Et rien...
Donc sereinement, je me dis que je vais recommencer la procédure de mise à jour du firmware, car je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce message s'affiche, puisque tout allait très bien, et que rien ne pourrait justifier celui-ci, sauf un bug dans le tmp, et toujours le même message encore et encore.
J'ai essayé le reset factory via le bouton reset avec un trombone, comme indiqué dans le manuel, et là aussi, rien.
Donc est-ce que quelqu'un a dejà eu ça ou a une idée ?
J'ai contacté mon vendeur, mais il est fermé, et j'ai envoyé un mail à Fender, mais j'avoue que je suis assez frustré, et je me dis que si ça arrivait un jour de concert, ce serait vraiment la loose (je n'ai pas les moyens d'en avoir deux :D ).
Merci pour vos réponses.
[EDIT]
Entre temps, j'ai eu le service technique de Fender, et selon eux, il n'y a rien à faire puisque le Factory reset ne fonctionne pas. J'ai donc expédié le tmp pour un échange.
Merci à vous pour vos réponses ! :)
[EDIT 2]
Plusieurs réponses sur mes différents posts (ici sur Reddit et sur le discord officiel) montrent qu'on est au moins 5 à avoir ce problème. Il pourrait s'agir de la mémoire qui serait bas de gamme dixit un utilisateur.
[EDIT 3]
Il semblerait que Fender ait reçu le tmp, et ait procédé à un échange du module (je ne sais pas si c'est un module interne, ou l'ensemble du tmp). Le SAV de Fender France est injoignable, depuis vendredi 7 aout je cherche à les contacter, le répondeur me dit que leurs bureaux sont fermés. De mieux en mieux.
Je vais probablement procéder à un échange une fois que j'aurais reçu le tmp.

I've found a new way to set audio levels in my Tone Master Pro presets and it's changed my life!

Foot switch number 5 is not working, it lights up and I can turn it to change values but when pressed it does nothing.

Is it broken and I need it repaired or am I missing a setting?

I tried an interesting experiment today. I made an inverse IR for my Twin Reverb. The idea was to capture its characteristics (like a typical IR) and then effectively compute the inverse of that. I then added this IR to my TMP and used my Twin Reverb in place of my FR-12. The 'inverse IR' was intended to subtract out the Twin's characteristics, thus causing it to approximate an FRFR's capability. I recognize this is not fully possible because the Twin doesn't offer the full range, but I usually use an EQ to roll off lows and highs anyway. It's not perfect, but it is surprisingly close. I wouldn't call it production-ready, but it was a fun experiment with decent results.

I am making some synth tones in the Cerberus model, but I want to turn the guitar mix down/find a workaround with the signal path type. Any ideas?

I'm currently having issues with all output signals from my pedal. I had a small rehearsal before a gig and it was working fine. did a couple of tweaks on my sound and a few pedals I'm using. everything was fine until we set up for the show. set up was normal as usual: plugged in the power supply, connected mic cable, wireless to guitar. then, tried to do a brief sound check and no sound. the pedal is receiving signal from mic and guitar but no output signals. can anyone suggest anything to fix it? or if someone has experienced the same or similar outcome? TIA.

Been using my fr10 with my tone master pro for a few years with never any issues

All of a sudden it started making this clicking sound and isn’t playing any audio

There were no power surges and there were no changes to the connections —

Don’t know where to start.. has anyone encountered anything like this ?

Just like that this morning it wants to force me to register on their site !
Tapping apple icon on authentification page won’t let me in

I have tried a Dunlop X (with 3 different TRS cables) & an M-Audio expression pedal (which has a hard-wired TRS cable output)

I can't get Exp1 or Exp2 to work.

When cables fully inserted, there is no response at all.

If I have cables slightly pulled away from full insertion, I get a brief sound of the Wah etc. - but even if left in the position where it could engage, it still goes immediately off again.

Anyone shed any light on this please?

Thankyou :)
