INTRODUCTION

THIS YEAR’S MODELS, AND THAT YEAR’S TOO ...


Tone Master Pro contains an amazingly comprehensive selection of amplifier models—heads, combos and half-stacks—that
represent the best from every era in the electrifying history of amplified music. Combined with the equally powerful
mix-and-match element of prized speaker cabinet models spanning the same musical continuum, the sonic possibilities are
endless. Power up Tone Master Pro and it’s all in there—every shade of color from radiant brightness to black hole darkness,
and every echelon of power from modest to molten and singing to screaming.
Then there’s the phenomenal assortment of effects units in every category from every era—from the first formative stompboxes to
middle-era classics to modern digital marvels. The most primally satisfying fuzz, overdrive and distortion textures. Decades of
ambiently ringing reverbs and echoes, atmospheric delays, shimmering chorus and ethereal phasers and flangers. Pitch shifters,
filters, EQ units, wah and tremolo, compression, sustain and more. Power up Tone Master Pro and it’s all in there.
Even Tone Master Pro’s state-of-the-art impulse response (IR) capability features a choice of expertly voiced microphone
models with a rich profusion of placement options for finely crafted recording wizardry.

Read on for descriptions and details about all these models, accompanied by the same images that appear in Tone Master
PRO’s display window, and consult this guide whenever needed, because all you need to do is—and we really can’t think of a
better way to say this—just power up Tone Master Pro and it’s all in there.
