I otter think more before I go making totally useless side-by-side clips...

I've often thought that the Strat's best sounding and best driving tones come from the middle p/up alone.

Since the last posting here, there have been tons of new YouTube videos on the Tone Master series.
For those who may still care... I found this one today that I think offers a fair and balanced comparison of the sound of a Tone Master DR and a 65' DR. No talk -- just guitar and amp sound.
(BTW, I think Lawson-Stone still has the best demonstration of jazz tones from the Tone Master.)

Here is another good one:

Will there be one under a forum member's Christmas tree?

It arrived today at around 10h30, and after all the necessary unpacking and inspection I carried it upstairs (only 23 pounds, yay!) to my music room. After reconfiguring my pedalboard connections and wireless setup (current amp has a loop, the TMDR doesn't) I was able to spend a couple of hours exploring its capabilities and I concur with Lawson's comments. I tried a range of instruments/pickups (1961 ES175D with PAF, Ibanez Artist 2169 Prestige with modern Super80 humbuckers, very bright 1978 Ibanez MC400NT with Super 88s and a Gretsch g5220 Electronmatic Jet with Broad'Tron Black Tops. All instruments came through nicely on both channels. Both clean and overdriven sounds came through very nicely, if a little "dry" (not sterile) at this stage - but I want to give the speakers a chance to break in before forming a firm opinion. After lunch I ran different pedals through the clean channel and was very happy with the results. The attenuator is a blessing for home playing, no doubt about that . Tomorrow I'll try the line out functions if I have the time.
This early delivery gave me a genuine very Merry Chrtistmas, and I wish the same to all you other forum members.

It’s late. I’m playing the 175 into a Fender TM Twin. Through headphones. Silent for her, sonic glory for me.

Unfortunately I didn't have the input trim level on my recording interface thing set right and so there is a little digital clipping in spots. That's not the amp, that's my not having the level adjusted.

We don't get to hear you play enough chord melody that sounded great!

Took my 175 with me to GC to make sure. Came home with a TM Twin. But my strat said, “Hey!” and the 175 waits patiently while I explore the sound of a maxed out Twin with thick reverb -at bedroom levels. Oh. oh? Oh yes.

I'm periodically going to do a clip with various guitars through the Tone Master Twin Reverb just for information. I think this amp is going to be very popular among jazz players and it's good to hear it with a range of guitars.
This is the Aria Pro II PE180 "stock" using the XLR out with the IR#1 profile, which is a close-mic SM57.
I"m also learning that the reverb on this amp, which sounds great "live" is especially good in recording. I don't know how they do it, but the reverb seems somehow tied to the volume or power level. Playing, I tend to think the reverb is a little much, but recorded the identical setting sounds great. I have heard the same is true in a room with an audience; it sounds a little thick to the player, but right out in the room. Haven't had a chance to test that part.
I hope someone will give us a thread on the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb as well, but for now, it's the Twin!

That is a lovely 'verb. Thank you, Lawson for sharing this!
-
Thanks Lawson for the additional Tone Master videos. As I think you know, Fender worked hard to get the correct reverb sound. Tricky stuff apparently. Of the quad-core system then used half -- or two -- just for the reverb.
