Myles - I'm newly joined here but not newly aware of your expertise. Thanks a mil. Another Fender question. I tried to do the old search before you post, but couldn't seem to get very far. Anyway - I have gotten it into my mind that the Fender Tone-Master may be a great amp for me. unfortunately, I have never played one myself. My goal is quite simple - fender sparkly clean channel, but takes my fuzz and distortion pedals well. My favorite fender sounds are the bassman and the deluxe reverb, but I'm looking for something i can hook cabs up to. Hence my interest in a head. I tried a mesa boogie lone star thinking this might hit the spot, but it was horribly not musical. So how would you describe the Tone-Master's clean channel? I've heard a lot of people say they got rid of theirs because it seemed to be too powerful no matter what. I'm just trying to make an informed decision if I ever see one in person.
