My interface (presonus 24c) allows me to have 3 different stereo hp mixes, or 6 different mono hp mixes. The Behringer unit adds an additional 4 different stereo hp mixes or 8 different mono hp mixes. That gives me a total of 7 different stereo hp mixes, or 14 different mono hp mixes, or various combinations of each.

It's a nice sounding amp.

They are one of the few reasonably affordable semi-vintage guitars. That is compared to 60s Fenders.

Glad it helped. I'm very impressed with these TM amps. I do very few guitar gigs these days, or I might well have one. Two close friends that are still gigging have switched to them. One previously used a vintage Super and the other a vintage Deluxe. Now those heavy amps stay at home.

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer I'm heading down that route for sure. I've just re started rehearsing with a new band. I was playing a lot of gigs before covid stopped all my band playing, in fact pretty much every band round here broke up and never got going again. I'm only just getting back into it. After our first rehearsal one of my first thoughts was "I need a lighter amp"!! I only want that Fender sound so I ended up revisiting the Tone Master reviews and hence your video. Now watching eBay for a good second hand Blonde TM Deluxe. Your demo showed that the blonde definitely has the sound for me. Also it looks killer ! 😀

Absolutely!

Thanks Chuck!

Wedges are a pain under the best of circumstances. Thanks and good luck!

I tried every possible combination. The mic just had almost no output. I sold the pickup a few years ago.

Having used tube amps for the last 50 years, tubes definitely make a difference in the sound. Sometimes even new tubes can change the sound, especially if they are different brands. One thing about the TM is that it is consistent. It will always sound the same. Tube bias also makes a difference in tube amps, and needs to be checked, especially when you change power tubes, or if the amp starts to sound tired. I've been running sound the last four years where the guitarist used a vintage BF Deluxe. Two years ago he switched to the TM Twin. From my perspective out front, I couldn't tell the difference, and he uses the same pedal board with both amps. The power attenuation on the TM makes a big difference out front. He is way easier to mix because he can cut the power of the amp, and still be happy with the sound on stage. With his vintage deluxe, he was always the loudest thing on stage, and I often had to mix the band around his guitar. As for how long the TM will last, who know. The old tube amps are certainly easy to fix and can last for decades. Keep in mind, many of the new tube amps are still circuit board amps, and will not be as easy to maintain as the old point to point vintage amps. Hope this helps and I just didn;t confuse you more! Thanks for the comment.

Glad to hear that. Hope it continues.

When they were selling for $350-$800, I got two. I don't think I would pay what people are asking these days for one. I do wonder how long the vintage guitar thing can last.

Maybe you noticed the Dr. Z and 1 x 12 cab in the background. That's been one of my main gigging amps for years.

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer No. I did not notice but good. Dr. Z is quality.

I could use one easily, especially if I were the one carrying it around. Having said that, I'm still using my Dr. Z head and cab. It takes two trips but the thing sounds great. Separately, neither head or cab is a killer lift in itself.

Lots of players agree with that. The TM is the best digital I've heard yet, though.

Sounds like a great instrument!

Ha! If it were mine I might consider it.......maybe.

I have multiple Gibson and Fender, no Epis. My PRS is the guitar that goes to all gigs.

All good points.

Worth every penney! If only it worked like that on stage.

I paid $250 for my 66, but that was back in the 80s. Good deals are getting harder to find.

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer Inflation says in the mid 80s that was roughly $750. The young kids aren't looking for them because they like the digital & modeling stuff. I snagged my '74 Twin Reverb for $900 earlier in the year. Too good to pass up. Next acquisition will be a vintage Super Reverb. Buy them now before the young ones go on their tone quest and realize they need to get them.

Ha! Good name!

It feels like a regular C. I'm going to dig out the hang tags and see what they say. Thanks!

@ thanks for your reply, chances are it’s wide fat!

Thanks. The guitar was plugged into a Mojotone Princeton Reverb clone. There were no pedals. Here is the same guitar in one of our Guys Downstairs videos. It was plugged into a 66 Deluxe Reverb. ruclips.net/video/GzGhBvYo1fM/видео.html

I have a 2nd ASAT with a McVay Bender: ruclips.net/video/2ZDr2j4OWms/видео.html

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer Great cover!

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer Thank you. Once the guitar arrives, I'll be watching the VID many more times to aim for the sound like yours!

Sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks!

Ha! They cry, "Please stop that noise!"

Thanks! I think you'll like the TM soundwise and weight-wise.

I sold it to a guy that uses it for electric guitar. Go figure.

Thanks Chuck!

Thanks for watching!

At my age, I could easily live with TM if I was carting it around myself.

That's GC much of the time. Thanks.

Ok, I think.

Ha! I'll try to talk more.

Indeed!

You should have heard her at ten years old. It was unbelievable.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching!

It worked out well for me, hopefully for everybody.

I've been listening to one for two years as a sound man. it sounds great to my ears. This is the one I've been hearing for the last two years. ruclips.net/video/MC6EXz4fjqk/видео.html

I can relate. I have a heavy 73 sunburst, and a really light 76 black hardtail.

Thanks! It's been my main stage guitar for years. Thanks for the compliment! You can check out this guitar here as well: ruclips.net/video/8-_3n64tgJo/видео.html

That is certainly true.

Speakers were different. I really liked the Blonde. I've not tried the Black version.

@@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer I've not tried either. I just watched some more vids and blonde sounded good by itself and in another vid the black sounded thinner and more brittle compared to the real tube counterpart. I probably won't buy one anyway, I've already got a Fender Hot Rod Deville, a Roland Blues Cube Stage, a Yamaha THR30ii and a Fender Rumble 100. When I see guitars, amps and pedals on RUclips GAS starts to set in. I've already hit the limit on guitars and basses, 19 in total. I've got nowhere to put anymore stuff. hahaha You did a good vid. 👍

I can relate. I have a bunch of vintage and boutique amps. My favorite is still a Dr Z. Carmen Ghia. I also love my 65Amps London Pro for rock gigs. I do think a TM Princeton would make a great “bowling alley” gig amp.

I assume both RI and TM are attempting to be a vintage DR.

Turn the sound on when watching the video.

Glad you got something you like! Vintage guitar collecting is a bit of a gamble. I'm always wondering if these crazy prices will last after all us boomers are gone.

Ha! This one required a few strums.
