MAN! When you kick in that Evil Robot it is absolutely fat and everything about the tonemaster thats awesome with some extra low end! Amazing I would love one and so would my credit card company, I just bought a handwired plexi 1987 but I want one of these to go with my Ampeg Gemini 1 really really bad! The Ampeg is brilliant and I am pretty sure phil records with one also but that is another great amp and sounds so good slightly overdriven, really both of them do, the ampeg is a little cleaner.
WHY 100 tone masters, I am sure over 100 plexi's and 100 Fender Twin reverbs, we aren't talking about silverface or new rebuilt we are talking original badass shit, eddy should know if everyone was that way he wouldn't have had a plexi to make his brown sound soooooo........
NOOO You need to do communication breakdown in a higher position and not let the open strings ring. It sounds way cooler. Pass this on to PHIL Please.
Actually, not all of them... Iv'e had my Magnatone 410 Custom classic( single woofer no tweeter) since 1975, traded an EKO 12 string acoustic to my bud. for it It rocks, just amazing coupled to a 2001 Fender Custom Shop 56 NOS Strat
how much cost the tone monster it such an incredible soundind tube amp and philx is GREAT player singer he got the feel witch make him a true musician
Do you run the Tonemaster at the modern 120v? I run mine at the old 110v. Back in the day we had 110v. And we were glad to get it. Sometimes we got 95v or a hundred and we were glad to get that. Out in the snow and all. You play real well! 8?}>>
DANM YOU EDDIE!!!!! YOU STOLE ALL THE TONEMASTERS!!!!!!!! WHY ARE U SOO MEAN AND GREDDY lol but seriousley cnow i cant get one and phil x u lucky basterd u meet the guitar god eddie himself!!!
if i felt like i was at all good enough to deserve an amp this expensive i would buy one right now. but there's only a limited supply and im not about to take one away from someone whos actually good at guitar. thats not fair haha
Phil you are awesome I see that u loveee Guitars!!!! U always put your belt to the left side so that the guitar doesnt get any scratches !! THUMBS UP!!
It really sings - you can literally hear every note on the Tonemonster. Class A power rules, the tubes are hot and ready "Little Caesars style" for every note you hit, thus the awesome response time and crisp tracking Phil's getting here.
I'm gonna have one of these eventually.
So did Eddy pick one up? I'd be surprised if he didn't.
I guess Phil's Tonemaster used to be EVH's it got broken, so EVH sold it and took another one :) somebody repaired it and sold to Phil :D Anyway Tonemonster ROCKS!!!
Hey Phil, great demo! But when you did the part on "Communication Breakdown", I was wondering. Didn't Page use a Telecaster into a Supro tube amp? Not an Esquire?
ayy im thinking about buying a tube overdrive pedal should I go for a hardwire cm-2 or the bad monkey. Im will be running it through a 76 fender tube amp and duncan 59 pickups... im looking for a good bluesy clean sound up to a dazed and confused sound then I can throw in the crybaby wah...
woah this is off topic but if you pause the video then hit the left arrow so the white loading circles appear you can then press up arrow and the circle unravels so you can play snake!! today i have learnt something new haha
Yeah to be honest the monster sounds better, I've always adored the sound of the toneMASTER, and I was a little hesitant when they said the toneMONSTER would sound just as good, but after hearing the A/B in songs like Communication Breakdown and stuff, I think it's safe to say the MONSTER is a bit better.
@colosalblack there was a tonemaster on ebay a week or two ago. max bid was $711, but didn't meet the reserve. so either evh was selling, or there are more out there.
I like the Tonemaster a lot but hearing it compared directly to the Tonemonster, I think I prefer the remake by quite a bit! It makes the Tonemaster sound a little thin/anemic. Maybe it's just the different speaker but I definitely like how much fuller/thicker/whatever else it sounds. It also sort of sounds like the Tonemonster has more gain, given equal settings - is that true, or no?
@MeltedProphet71 must be the brand new speaker, i bet if you REALLY wanted the exact tone of the tonemaster you could switch out the speaker to something similar.
