.....and thankfully I was wearing earplugs......

Yesterday, I picked up a Tonemaster Twin for a price I literally could not refuse.

I didn't want a twin I wanted a deluxe reverb and I didn't want a Tonemaster, I wanted to build it myself. That all went out the window.

I could sell it tomorrow and make a tidy profit but after today....I'm not going to do that.

Got it to 106db. And that was on 6.5 vol at 85w. I reckon it could get to 110db which is getting into jumbo jet category.....but I got too scared I'd break something!

Man alive it sounded righteous.

It's comically huge, there's headroom for days, bedroom levels sound awesome and the reverb is just beautiful.

I'm not going to sell it. I'm going to keep it and try out recording with the XLR out. I'll need some tips on that when I have time. I cannot wait.

Nice acquisition brother!

I got rid of all my big amps years ago. All I've got now is an Orange Crush 20. My wife gets upset when I go past 3.

You have my envy sir. It makes my little Roland Micro Cube seem woefully inadequate.

Nice Andy!
I have the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb and it's fantastic. I've played with some fairly loud drummers and the highest I've run it is on the 12w setting and volume at 4.5. I bought mine (pre-order) this first week they came out in AUS. Even after 12 months the prices have hardly dropped.

Did you get the twin new or used?

FWIW, I've sold all my tube amps and now just the Tone Master and a Roland Blues Cube 1x12. Between the two, they cover my 6V6 and 6L6 tube sound requirements just fine!

Hey Mcreed. Love my blues cube artist.

I bought the twin second hand. There's no way I would have got it for that price retail.

I thought it would be okay. I never expected the modelling to be this good.

What a snag, that makes me very happy in the gentleman's area.

Yep. There are a few very well done videos out there doing A/B's of the Tone Master DR and all tube DRRI and the results/opinions were very positive. Some said, yes, there is a very slight difference that may be noticeable in a studio situation, but playing live it would be virtually imperceptible.

I used to own an original '64 DR (still kick myself for selling that one!) and going off my memory (FWTW) the TM DR is all there.

Also, I didn't know you have a BCA too. I really like mine but have only played it at one rehearsal since I got the TM Deluxe!

[Andy40]

Yep, massive fan of the BCA, I have all of the tone caps too!! so much fun.

I've been playing the TM Twin today...this amp is going to ruin me!

Maybe won't ruin you, but your neighbours/family
