I've watched some shootout vids of tone master vs reissue and I feel like I've been able to pick out the tone master every time, like the tube version is just a touch punchier and has different presence. But the difference to me is so subtle that I wouldn't care especially if I was gigging.
If I had a dream home studio and the amp never moved I would take a tube version for that subtle something extra I hear in the tubes.
but for everything else there's tone master! For all I know I'm just hearing the difference in the neodymium speakers
FM3 for recording now. Tone Master with HX Effects for live shows. I was building patches for live shows on the FM3, but it is due for a huge software upgrade, so I stopped until that upgrade in the modeling is released.
