"The 12-watt amp enters Fender’s range of Tone Master modelling combos, digital modelling amplifiers that focus entirely on one vintage Fender amp each. The Tone Master Princeton Reverb, aside from the slight changes on the back panel and the Tone Master plate on the front grille, resembles a tube Princeton almost exactly. The sounds on offer include the famed Princeton, well, reverb, as well as an emulation of the tube tremolo that creates a pulsing, harmonically-rich sound.
On the front panel, there are two inputs, and controls for volume, treble, bass, reverb level, tremolo speed and tremolo intensity. The back panel offers a power and a mute switch, as well as a power-scaling rotary selector: the amp can work at its full 12 watts, to be dropped down to 6, 3, 1.5,0.75 or 0.3 watts for a range of low-volume options.
There’s also a direct output via XLR (no headphone jack), with the option of two cabinet simulations. You can also disable the cab sim entirely if you plan on using your own IRs for recording.
The speaker is a 10-inch Jensen Special Design, which notably has a ceramic magnet – unlike the neodymium-magnet speakers that came with the first Tone Master amplifiers to reduce their weight. Despite this, the smaller size and the pine cabinet mean that the amp weighs in at only 10.5 kilograms."

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
I don't fully understand why you'd need power scaling on a solid state amp as opposed to a gain and a volume knob, but other than that, sounds cool.

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
Looks like a great recording amp, on paper, anyway.

If they do a Tonemaster Bassman, I'll be interested.

If I didn't already have a Tone Master Deluxe I'd be all over this

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
Not a huge price difference between one of these and a second-hand reissue, that's only a little more vintage correct by dint of containing valves.
The pragmatist in me wants the lightweight one, the perma-GASsing hoarder in me wants the PRRI, and the would-be purist in me wants an original (black- or silverface both equally acceptable). If only common sense wasn't telling me I already have more amps than one guy who isn't an internationally renowned recording artist could possibly need.

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
Sounds very Solid State compared to my 65 PRRI Tube Amp…. Especially when he starts to play louder & more aggressive.. They’re not terrible at low volume playing smooth though…
That said, I’m not sold, I’ll stick to my Tube Amp…

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
Really wish for a Showman, option to use an external cab, and FX loop.
Not trying to crap on this. I own a twin tone master for gigging. I guess that most of the line will eventually have a tonemaster. But man I want a big 15 inch tonemaster so bad. Brownface pro line? Or a freaking Vibro verb please?! Reissue the vibrating while you’re at it fender.

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
I like this a lot. My PRRI is the one I almost always go for when I just want to play (not a dig on my Marshall Origin 20C!) and as an almost exclusively at-home player, this is really cool. I've been looking into the Universal Audio amp simulator boxes that just came out, for my new pedal rig, but honestly, with the option of disengaging the speaker/headphone option, but still being able to use it, this might be the answer for me. I don't want to get rid of my tube PRRI, but I could definitely see grabbing one of these.

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
I’ve been gigging a TMDR since early summer. Last weekend I was chatting with my bass player after the sound guy complimented the TMDR for the dozenth time, and he said the same thing, if they make a decent Bassman combo that is light, sounds good, can be a real amp or go direct to the board with a couple decent IR’s, he’s be all over it.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 8:54 amIf they do a Tonemaster Bassman, I'll be interested.
On the flip side, not sure about the TMPR. The first thing I did with my Deluxe was put it in 12 watt mode and run it in stereo with my old PR. You can get them really close to each other, speaker difference not withstanding. With the extra headroom and same/lighter weight on the Deluxe I’d probably still get the TMDR. Sound wise the TM Twin Reverb is still my favourite sounding of this line.

Re: Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb
Agree, I’d prefer the BF. Even a SF Bassman 10 4x10 combo over the tweed. He likes simple and would prefer a combo.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:09 amAhh, see, I was wishing for a Tonemaster Blackface Bassman head.shoule79 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:01 amI’ve been gigging a TMDR since early summer.
