It's digital, but I'm curious to see how these compare. The Deluxe Reverb is only 23 lbs. Our ears will have to wait but our backs already like them!

I am really curious about this! The only reason I sold my Twin Reverb was because of the weight. Please tell me this gets 80% + of the tone of at least a reissue, and I am sold! MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. |

Using a high-performance 200-watt digital power amp to achieve the headroom and dynamic range of a real vintage Twin tube amp, I would be more enthused if they had gone analog, Quilter has already proven how good that can be. —Bill S._______ |

I agree - they could have gotten more interest if they went with analog instead of digital. But both have the capacity to replicate those tube amps to a good degree. What gets me is that they price these amps only a little below their tube-based reissues. This seems quite over-priced given the cheap nature of digital technology, and is probably a ploy to keep from hurting sales of their tube amps. If these amps came kind of close to as good as claimed, they would sell tons if priced in the range of $400. But at just a but below the tube amp range, they are not likely to go anywhere. |

They didn't cheap out on all the components, though. The cabs are solid pine and the speakers don't appear to be cheapies but instead Neo complements to the C12-Ks they usually use. I agree that they're overpriced, though, given that they appear to be imported. — |

There's a decent demo / comparison between the Tone Master Digital Amps and the real deal tube amps from Anderton's on You Tube.https://youtu.be/NJacQ2CfHwY Last edited: Jul 20, 2019 11:17:43 |

in my humble opinion need to be tested for real ,youtube vids sound always crappy (more over they always mic it then ?),i will wait the outcome and in stores try it , i remember well the sound of my deluxe then if i can't a b the 2 i will normally hear the différence , also the volume you try it count ,at 2 a deluxe is really not inspiring need to be at 3 minimum and it beguin to be loud ,last time i try a new amp in a store was for the new vibroverb and i was really happy to try it before buy it !(it was really disapointing ,quiet less than my deluxe ,and also the sound was not really satisfaing to my taste for an amp for 40 w ,really quiet and miss the good sound of deluxe ,i find it really flat ,but it is my taste ) Last edited: Jul 20, 2019 12:48:22 |

Sorry, Quilter have been running this race (and successfully) for some time. I'm a convert to them and very unlikely to go back. My back still hurts after several years of schlepping a Twin around... —https://www.facebook.com/lostremoleros/ Last edited: Jul 21, 2019 20:47:36 |

i have a pro block 200 quilter ,and for mor me the good is the portability ,the bad is less reactive than a tube amp and also more bright ,i push the gain at 13 h and the limiter 14 h,i am a little dissapointed by the equalisation (* if someone know to explain the tri cut and hi cut i am interrested ),the tri cut and hi cut that i don't find really how to utilise them ,i try lot of combinaison but not find the one i really want ,i have a standard set up tri cut at 15 h and hi cut to 11 h , i have not find how really set up it ,at rehearsale they said my tube head is more pleasant to hear than the quilter edith :seems i was wrong with the tri cut ,cause it seems it need to be at 0 for black face , surf setting ,i reread the manual and look at some vids ,i was far cause i set up it to high ,then i will retest it with this in mind Last edited: Jul 27, 2019 08:23:02 |

I got to try out a Twin Tone Master and really liked it. Thought I'd share a vid. Sorry about the dodgy focus issues. https://youtu.be/AhUSoAZK1Dw — |

That sounds pretty decent IMHO. —Either you surf, or you fight. |

Yeah! You make it sound great Dre. I guess it's not a real spring reverb? Without being completely tank drip, it definitely surfs! Plus it's so rare to hear a Twin on volume 10 of course, and it sounds really good |

got one a week ago I have to say it's the real deal used last night at a gig and I couldn't be happier with the way it sounds and I have a real 1964 blackface twin that I bought for $200 in 1985 that been my main gigging amp for 35 years but at 85 lb it a bit to much to carry around NYC this amp is perfect at 33 LB and sound just like my 1964 blackface twin and maybe a little better the REV and TREM are excellent Facebook pages theSupertones |

85lb. Good God man. I had one in the ninties when I was young, drunk and silly enough to carry it up three flights of stairs in the early hours. I remember the cries |

This video isn't me playing, but I did pick up a Tone Master Twin Reverb. I think it's awesome. —Sean |

Err, the guitarist in the video just posted that a few messages up. Good stuff though, and it tricked me into watching it again CaptainSensible wrote:

Doh! Guess I missed that! Anyway, there's lot of videos online now demonstrating these Tone Masters. They're pricey, but still pretty cool. —Sean |
