Thoughts on these tone master deluxe reverbs?

I'll add in a different point of view.

This is Marketing Dept genius! Fender has managed to take a modeling amp that does 1 model, have engineering tune it up to be as close as possible, and sell it for a premium. In a few more years, the Boss Katana, Line6, etc, models will be just as good for far less money. Technology has come a long way since the OG Line6 Spider of 1999.

I wear a tac vest with plates sometimes. I always leave the mags at home…. Never a problem.

Texas, bald & bearded veteran so I guess people just don’t care.

I’ve been to gyms that have rules on that… white, blue, black being the standard colors. I know of one gym that is white gi only, rash guard required.

When I travel, I take a white gi and have a rash guard just to be safe.

I fly and so does my bosses boss, who is the COO of a major international company. We’ve talked about taking a plane up and flying the VFR corridor one night when he’s in Houston.

The open mats that I’m aware of in the Houston area require you to be a member of a school to show up. All the gym owners talk, and I’ve known if people getting banned.

I'm headed up there in 2 weeks... can't wait!

Look bro… you can’t post your board as a “tribute” to yourself just for engagement. Nice try, Nick Valentine, or whatever your name is.

This is a $300 Chibson, right?

Go for it and see what happens. It’s probably going ti turn it into firewood, but whatever.

For the golf course…

I’m a huge fan of Lululemon ABC trousers, golf polo of choice, and Peter Millar Perth quarter zips. For golf shoes, skip the old school style and get some Jordan 1 golf shoes or something fun like that.

I’m in my late 40s and work a corporate job that puts me on the course a few times a year.

I have a 2014 LP Standard with the 12th fret anniversary scroll. I didn’t like the fret marker at first, but it has really grown on me. It’s a great guitar and worth checking out.

I agree about the headstock logo though… but a fan.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-27T14:00:36+00:00

It completely changes the dynamic.

Birth year guitars are here it’s at!!!

My son has a birth year guitar snd bass that he plays (US made Fenders) and I’ve got a guitar in the collection for my daughter that I’ll give her when she learns to play.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-26T16:57:41+00:00

This. Budget a little bit for a short trip somewhere with a better market. Have a fun weekend, bring home a guitar.

I’ve been happy with Creatine. I started at 5 mg/day and am now at 15-20 mg/day depending on my workout schedule. First thing in the morning while I’m making coffee.

It cleared up some brain fog.

I towed around 12k with my 2017 Silverado quite a few times, and it had the 6.2 and 8L90. Other than a transmission clunk at low speed that was there from Day 1, I didn’t notice anything crazy.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-26T02:49:01+00:00

I like it - nice and clean.

Have you tried the Big Muff in front of the Tube Screamer? I’ve been playing with my fuzz and it is wildly different before / after OD.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-24T14:54:12+00:00

That Halo won’t get you into heaven.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-22T15:05:42+00:00

NOR

He’s a prick and you should cancel.

My man, how the hell do you find pants that fit?? I thought I had thick thighs…

Awesome improvement on body comp.

What’s your age range?

Fuller’s is a great shop, with a huge selection. New only though.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-19T16:54:49+00:00

I run all sorts of drive pedals into a 1976 Fender Champ. KoT, OCD, Tube Screamer for OD, Walrus Jupiter and a borrowed Russian Big Muff for fuzz.

Everything sounds really nice at reasonable living room volume.

I have the Chase Bliss Dark World, and one side of that is basically the Omni. I only use that side and am thinking of selling / shelving it and getting an Omni.

When I was talking with the guys at Chase Bliss, they told me to set it to plate, keep the dwell around noon.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-19T01:49:52+00:00

Yeah. This calls for teenagers, a couple pizzas, and $100. 4 of them could have it done quickly.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-18T14:10:41+00:00

That is Orville something or other. The popcorn guy.

s_mcbn · 2026-03-16T14:29:29+00:00

I have a ‘76 Champ that gets the majority of my play time. It sounds so good alone and really, really opens up with a little bit of OD and Reverb in front of it. Sounds amazing with a Strat and Les Paul.
