"Fender's Tone Master Pro: The Ultimate Amp Modeling and Effects Workstation"
Fender has released the Tone Master Pro, a standalone digital workstation that emulates over 100 effects and amp models. The device connects to a guitar to process audio and offers a wide range of customization options, including amp models, impulse responses, and effects. It features an 8-core processor for a latency-free experience and seamless transitions between presets. The Tone Master Pro promises to deliver a "virtually indistinguishable" tone from the real thing and includes thousands of custom-created impulse responses. It also supports third-party impulse responses and offers specific features for live performances. Regular firmware updates will provide bug fixes, new amps, effects, and more. The device is priced at $1,700.
