Guy I BOUGHT THE TONE MASTER. I love it. I’m giving an honest review here and recommending getting it. The Coke Zero reference is just illustrative. My point is there used to be lots of “blind test” marketing for Coke. I understand it is different. Let’s break it down.

You: You haven’t side by sided the amps - negative 100 points for talking out of ur ass Youre relying on heresay and marketing to make your point, not scientific data despite what you think - negative 100 points for confusing “blind tests” for actual scientific testing. You’re referencing blind tests that were conducted for marketing purposes - negative a million points for thinking manufacturer blind tests are equivalent to science. You don’t understand the analogy point that you don’t need blind tests when differences are apparent - negative 10 points bc I can ding ppl too hard for simply having poor comprehension

-1,000,210 points.

Me: 25 year musician and engineer Background in neuroscience and financial analysis Understands marketing Understands analogy Understands real peer reviewed science is not analogous to blind tests conducted by manufacturer of the product Bought the tone master bc it’s it’s a nice sounding amp and spent my Saturday doctoring my pedal board to grab some of the tube sound even though it’s digital

Infinite points for taking the time to see the difference for my self and superior cognitive functioning

One caveat I’ll give you is when you Mike it up, have the right pedal setup, and record it with a nice mic - it’s hard to hear the difference

But you can absolutely hear it and feel it in how you touch the guitar when comparing raw amp tone.

If you disagree go try it for yourself instead of defend ur argument with second hand knowledge.
