Fender has just announced its latest firmware update to the Tone Master® Pro and Desktop Pro Control app, adding bass amp, cab and effects models for the very first time. This includes the ‘59 Bassman Custom, the Fender Super Bassman, a Bass Overdrive effect and more.
Elsewhere, the update also introduces a host of other exciting new effects, as well as brand new features and enhancements.
Highlights include:
Scenes: A Scene is a variation of a preset that can be saved to a footswitch for recall. Each Scene allows explicit control of the bypass state and parameter settings for each block within the preset as well as unique settings for Amp Control 1/2 and multiple MIDI messages. Up to 8 Scenes can be created in addition to the base preset.
Preset Import/Export: Presets can now be exported and imported to/from the Pro Control desktop app to Mac/PC for local backup. This makes sharing of individual presets possible via email, text, forums, Dropbox, FB groups, etc.
Virtual Capo effect: A polyphonic capo effect that lets the player transpose the instrument tuning up or down by 12 semitones.
Glooper effect: This incredibly inspiring looper is a totally original take on a looping effect not based on any existing pedal. The Glooper creates several simultaneous loops at different speeds that can be adjusted, pitch shifted, frozen and reversed for super-fun creative expression.
New amps include:
- FENDER ’59 BASSMAN CUSTOM
- FENDER SUPER BASSMAN® VINTAGE
- FENDER SUPER BASSMAN® OVERDRIVE
- RAMPAGE BLUELINE
- ’66 FLIP TOP
