I own one of these bad boys. And it is absolutely 💯% Legit! 🤘
I just can't get my tone to sound like this 😭. How do you set this up?
Pretty cool, but some things are outdated. The price is now closer to 300 Euros (not quite but getting there), though that might be to their own speaker probably having been added in the mean time. Also, their website address is different now and the one in the description here leads to an non-secured website. It might go through to their actual website or an old version when you click through, but I don't recommend it as it might be used by scammers or something.
RG721RW was discontinued and the Thoman link says unavailable now. I was interested to see what the price of a new RG721RW would be, in order to understand what I should pay for one today on the second hand market. Any tips? Thanks
Sehr cool ❤️
Amazing sound!
Nice of your Grandmother to let you use her living room 🤣
Bluetooth headphone support and WiFi… cmon guys it’s 2024… these things always seem to be 12 years behind all other segments of technology. And the prices are more than double what they should be.
At the very last what setting were you using for DJENT?
I am pretty sure that was the 5150III model in there, classic gate/TS pedal in front of it. All pretty standard. :)
how was it sound with a SD powerstage 100? you put your pedalboard in "from effects" i guess but you ve got 2 returns??!! where is the "send"?
I didn't test it with a SD Powerstage, so I couldn't tell. There is a send and two returns, because you can loop in stereo effects. If you use the send for a power amp, your effects have to go in between, or in front of the Zerrer, if they are boost, overdrive or distortion.
Hey! You're praying Cynic at the start! Fantastic choice! Space for this! The tones are freaking awesome! Lovely playing 😊 I am now very interested in the pickups and a Kiesel guitar 🎸
Yeah, gotta love Cynic man!!!
@@FrankFleckenstein100 percent ! I seriously wonder if Cynic did not exist if we would still get bands like Contortionist . I would cry Because Contortionist are close to my favourite band . Anyway fantastic guitar playing ! It sounds pretty amazing!! Is that a real amp??
Considering the built in load box, IR loader and all the outs, it’s priced very fairly.
100%!!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Hey mate thanks for the video. I have a victory amp V40 duchess and was seeing what you think matched it best? I just want nice clean and close to real life as possible. Thanks
Thanks, man! Yeah, Two Notes has the Victory Collection where you'll get the actual cabs, matching your V40. However, I really like the Two Rock cabs in there for clean and edge of breakup stuff. :)
It’s a new unit it’s going to get better and better. If your a AMP guy forget it no digital copy will suffice you. I believe you’re a AMP guy nothing wrong with it. I have the TMP and dialed in to my liking so to each there own 😊 Peace out…
You're right, I love amps, but I also like digital stuff, if it's well-made and thought out. I really hope it gets better over time and I might even give this another run down the line. Peace! :)
Would you care to explain what features it’s lacking?
If you have actually watched the entire video, you wouldn't be asking this question. :)
Hello??
had to sub because your playing is top tier.
Thank you so much! :)
What is that orange thing at the top & what does it do please, great video & playing, thank you! 👍🏼🎶
It's a so-called Fret Wrap, which mutes the strings behind the nut or even on the fretboard, if you're playing legato or tapping stuff.
Cool, sehr umfangreich und detaliert präsentiert. Ja, ich nutze gern ätt home als hobbyklampfer ein stereo out auf 1x12 und 2x12. seit geraumer Zeit unter den Amps den von dir genannten PALMER PDI 03. Aus dem gehe ich in den Mixer. zudem kommt mein i-Pad in den Mixer und da versuche ich seit Monaten 'Path to happiniess' zu erreichen, ist aber leider nicht mehr auf Sp*ify zu finden. Und ja, mein lieblingstool im Bereich Ampsection-Mixer ist besagter Palmer PDI 03 (zwei Stück). Zwei Palmer amps darüber oder einen Framus RubyRiot. Dessen 2x12 nutze ich auch (immer seltener). LG Jens
Moinsen, ja vielen Dank. Ich habe die ganzen Streaming-Sachen abgeschaltet, aber das Album verbleibt natürlich hier auf RUclips.
Man that is Amazing! I have a Vader 6 in my dream build. I get my first Kiesel this week, an A2 Moon roasted Flame Aqua Fade from the 2024 trade show. A one-off.
i really like my captor x. i use it every day. two notes makes great stuff. ive had mine for a couple years. I still found your video interesting thanks
I agree ,I’d wait and see
Good job, the tune rocks. Maybe a little too downtuned sound on the pedal for my taste, but well executed and well done review.
can this one also be used as a stereo panning pedal? like the boss pn2
I believe it won't be able to do that :-(
Hi, I love your hollow blue Strat. Is that a Fender?
As a Fender guy, I’m really impressed with that clean channel. This is already on my Christmas list.
Oh yeah, the clean sounds in this thing are solid aaaand tasty!!!
@@FrankFleckenstein funny enough I’m driving home from my local music shop with it in my car at this very moment😬
Hi, Good review. I would like to see a video that will deal in depth, how to create setlists of songs and how to prepare 2 supposed performances with different songs in each performance
I don't care how good it sounds... $1,995 for a little 20w head with two 6V6's is absolutely ridiculous. You should be getting a full 100w head for that...
You're 100% correct and in fact, you can actually find 100 watt heads for that price and even below that. Those amps won't have DI out, headphone out, IR loader with 6 slots, MIDI switching etc. though. But then again, some people don't need that...just like some people don't need 100w amps. :)
Regardless of watts, it sounds incredible! YT doesn't even do it justice.
Just saw this pop up in my feed. My Astro 20 arrived today, so I had to watch the video. But the King's X shirt got the sub! 🤘🏻 Edit: AHHHH!!! 12:17! It's loooo-oooo-ooove...that holds it all to-ge-ther!"
Good review.., And well thought out in the description of good and bad points of this unit. Took delivery of this a few days ago and I can say you've hit the mark exactly on what the unit offers, and doesn't offer. I do not own any of the other competitors models, this being my first "Modeler" so to speak and I am taking advantage of the 30 day return policy to see if it's what I would want to use in a live setting. I would hope Fender would continue to add and update this unit and not fall short of future Amp, Cab and effects offerings...,For the price it better!! What it doesn't do for me is give me that !!!WOW!!! factor that I was hoping for like I got when I purchased The Spark 40 from Positive Grid. The price AND WOW factor still leave me amazed after owning it for close to 3 years, That being said, the next weeks ahead will tell me weather or not the hefty price tag is worth the price of rolling the Dice !
Thanks, glad you likes the review. I hear you, since I had the same thing going on during my test period. At first I was blown away by the UI and handling, but when I explored the unit and found some of its initial bugs (some of which have been fixed in the meantime via SW updates), the wow factor faded off. I also agree on the Spark. I used to work at Positive Grid and their stuff is great for the money.
Amazing review - thorough, analytical and very honest! Looking forward to future videos.
I failed to mention before that you are right about how common it is for companies to release digital products in an incomplete state. Fixes, patches, updates, etc. are so routine that people often do not think twice about it. In the case of Fender, I am keeping my TMP. I have confidence Fender will make it a fantastic offering, as they already have issued two firmware updates. Fender reps are communicating with customers about bugs and feature requests. This is very positive. More importantly, the TMP is easy to work with and sounds and feels very good to play. Personally, I do not need an endless library of amp and fx choices. I am happy to have a small selection of very good tones. PS I am very interested in the All You Can Boost pedal. Do you sell and ship to buyers in the United States?
It's amazing that Fender is keeping up regarding the TMP. I am not ruling out getting one again in the future. Same here...no need for an excessive library of amps, just a few handful of good ones is enough. Thanks for your interest in the AYCB. I do ship the pedal worldwide, so yes! :)
It s a keeper, mate :), I like it for being simple, and it sounds nice. You know, Quad cortex took 3 years to implement a software editor, andmany other things, so I don t really know what you are talking about, lol...Nice video, thanks.
@@FrankFleckenstein No worries mate, Thanks :)
All the same sounds, no differences between amps, at all.
Ok...
Fender has updated the touch screen sensitivity.
10:55. Summerland..? ;-) And I love your shirt. King´s X=The GOAT!
MEN - amazing sound !
Thanks man!
This Amp is awesome!
It sure is!!!
Hey Frank, great video. The amp sounds awesome! What pickups do you have on the purple guitar? They sound awesome!
These are Q-Pickups from Croatia, PAF humbuckers with lots of definition and clarity! Low output though, which I actually prefer these days!
Great demo. Seems like a really versatile amp. As i can see you've got a Vegatrem on the HH-Strat, is it worth the upgrade in your opinion? I'm looking to upgrade the trem on my 80s Tokai.
For a home/recording amp, I love the clean channel. For a live amp, no way. If I can't store the tone/EQ settings, that's a huge deal breaker. btw, loved your playing.
Now, that is a great sounding amp. I especially like it with the single coils.
Woo, happy to see you back on YT Frank 👏 That’s an awesome sounding amp btw👌
Great stuff. And excellent demo!
Thanks a lot! :)
Woa.. they bringing their old classic!
Which Amp is that? Sounds killer
Thank you very much for that informative video. I am to receive my unit tomorrow and have plans to integrate the fx loops extensively and you got me worried a little bit. I count myself to your category 2, meaning I have played the Axe FX II for 7 years now and I am looking for a next level Plattform. I have trust, that fender is at the beginning of their road and not going to abandon their flagship all too soon. They are also the owner of my daw ( studio One) and they did great updates on that one recently, so i have hope. On the other hand I see the shortcomings of the fender Pro, after binging yt videos since its release and see the reaction of the yt scene. There seems to be a lot of criticism and rejection, which is in some parts fair, in some parts not so much, since this is a first release and it is going against systems that are well established and polished, but also they are not to be expected to jump forward giant steps all of a sudden. So the fender has a certain edge over all of them potentially because of what it can develope into. And now my thoughts on the pricepoint: what should someone like me buy at the moment, when searching for a futureproof, "flagshipstyle" modeller? Quad Cortex atm at thomann literally 1 € cheaper then the (now reduced price) TMP 1699€. I am a nit interested in Profiling, so I get a hardwareside inferior unit, with a questionable release and update policy with less I/O and UI ? Hmm , A Helix floor, which is 1580€ so around 120€ cheaper, for a 9 year old product, which is vastly underpowered, compared to the TMP, though Line6 has formidable longterm reputation, it seems, that they are waiting longer then i am willing to wait to introduce their next flagship. and then there is fractal. I have been in the fractal world for a long time now, and kind of love hate it. It is overcomplicated at times and in my case outdated in comfortfunctions (size, no scribble scripts on the mfc101, etc) and the say fm9 has half the nominal CPU power then the TMP, the UI seems fine but feels outdated when seeing the approach of fender ( and line6 and even in cases quad cortex) with a slightly less favorable I/O section and that for the funny price of 2,300€ meaning paying 600€ more ?!? I dont think so. So with all that in mind, I think the TMP is the best bet for a longterm Plattform, if maintained propperly by fender. But anyways, Thanks for the vid again And greetings from Franconia Germany
Thanks for watching the video and for your comment. If you're not interested in profiling, you should be fine with the TMP and sound-wise, you're going to like it over your AFXII, even more so because the UI is so much more pleasant. After seeing that Fender released a new firmware update on November 20th, I believe they are actually interested in making this a long-term project. There are still things that need fixing and if enough people complain, those issues will be addressed. Regarding the CPU power: I think this conversation is always taken a bit out of context. Yeah, Fender might have more CPUs and CPU power in the TMP, but it all depends on how that potential is implemented. You can have an entire server park for audio processing, but if the guy who wrote the code doesn't know what he's doing, it doesn't help very much. Greeting from the Rhineland! :)
