If you are going to try either of these amps in a store, plug an xotic EP boost pedal in front of it. Don’t even boost the signal. Basically it emulates the sound of the echoplex pre amp. I bought it for a clean boost but leave it on all the time. It is the only sound i like better than the tonemaster twin. Time to sell some tube amps and modelers

lawson thanks for doing these it is cool. Your playing is nice and the L5 is way out beautiful.
So off topic those books on the shelves.....probably some biblical archives the deacon could do well to read. The L5 would keep getting in my way if you left it out.

Speaker size aside, CAB SIZE is going to make a huge difference in the sound of those 2 amps... kind of apples vs oranges

I would buy a new Tone Master if I were a current buyer to get the warranty just in case.

I'd have to guess that amp 2 is the tone master deluxe. I have a tube 66 deluxe and a Princeton with a 12" so it seems consistent to what I hear. I somehow manage to guess wrong in many of these demos though!
-
I’m guessing TMTR is amp 1. In one of Lawson’s earlier demos I was surprised at how bright the PRRI sounded.
-
I haven't played a "Tone Master" yet, but I did pick up a TM Deluxe Reverb while visiting a local music store yesterday.
You look at it and think UGH . . . but it's as light as my Pro Jr. and so much bigger !!!
Looks like us old guys are being noticed as an amp buying demographic.
Next thing might be a 30 pound Marshall half stack made out of balsawood.
I still dig my Pro Jr, but dang if it only weighed 5 pounds !!!!
-
So here it is:
#1 is the Princeton Reverb Reissue from Sweetwater with the 12” CR speaker and some tube swaps (of course!)
#2 is the Tone Master Twin Reverb

I still hope they make a Princeton version... only thing better than a PR is a LIGHTER PR... (not that it's heavy, but hey...)

But.... the PR is one speaker, so is the DR. You have to admit that you love the sound of 2 spkrs in a cab, no?
-
I have the TMDR and think it's great. Nonetheless, I'd also like to see a TM Princeton Reverb. Why? Simple. Size. Any smaller amp that sound great is a wonderful thing in my books.

Instead of a Princeton, I'd go the mini head + cab approach. You could put the head in a backpack with cables etc... then mix and match with lightweight cabs.
