I took a gamble by ordering this one online without first playing, but it paid off in every way. If I had to make a list of everything I wanted in an amp, it would all point to the Tone Master Deluxe. With the power-scaling I can use it at home and be able to get the amp humming with overdrive. You back off on the guitar's volume and the amp cleans up nicely. It weighs 23lbs, with is roughly half of any other amp I own. It sounds big and full. The build quality is what we all remember a Deluxe Reverb to be. Wonderful birch ply for a solid build. I have yet to use the DI but I suspect that since you can pick the IR mic between an SM57 or an R121 Royer, it will sound great. It will do silent recording by engaging the standby switch. There isn't a negative aspect to this amp. Thank you Fender and thank you Zzounds for a great payment plan.

I was looking for an amp that weighed less than my deluxe reverb reissue but with similar sound. This amp is it. It sounds just like the drri at half the heft. Built solidly and sounds great. It is as good as the all tube version and has extra features. Buy one.

This is a nice amp. I purchased it for the ability to get a somewhat accurate Fender clean sound without the weight and maintenance of buying a tube amp. The attenuation feature and the out with built in IRs really sold me. I’m not a tube amp purist, so I won’t wade into that whole debate, but this amp sounds and “feels” pretty damn good to me. The longevity of the technology is also a subject I won’t comment on because at this stage there is not enough information to know. So far, so good. I did the “blonde” version software updates when they came out, and after about a year of daily playing, the speaker has really opened up. I am satisfied with my purchase and hope to use this as my main amp for the rest of my time as a musician. My only real complaint at this point is that the pricing is on the high side and increased by a substantial margin since I bought the amp not that long ago. Crazy. But I suppose if it continues to perform and lasts as I hope it will be money well spent.

I bought one of these used. I was looking for a light weight amp with good sound and this was recommended to me by some other musicians. I have to say I am very impressed and happy with this amp. I would recommend buying this. I later put a Neo-Creamback speaker in it to check out the sound difference. So right now I have decided to go with the Creamback. Also I would recommend installing the 'Bright Cap" firmware update. The update really sounds great.
