Is this going to be about testicles? Definitely not.
I have mentioned a new amp to be arriving soon. Today is the day... New Amp Day!
That is a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb Blonde. I really like the blonde Tolex covering with oxblood speaker grille; to my eye, a striking appearance. There is a sound reason for the Blonde version: it uses a Celestion Neo Creamback speaker instead of the Jensen speaker that comes in the standard (black Tolex) version. It is a bit warmer (some say "darker") tone.
After getting it out of the box and looking it over, I took it to my music room and tried it out with my Gibson 335, the Taylor T5, and the Emerald Virtuo... it sounds good with each of them.
An unboxing and first impressions video...
This evening, I put the cover on the amp...
Back in the good ol' days, the covers used to be a heavy vinyl. This feels like a denier, as in a light backpack material. No padding, but it will make a good dust cover or possibly provide some protection if you have to load it in light precipitation. That said, it is good that it comes with a cover.
