looks like it has alot of extra digital shit on it though

Fender tube amps are considered the most treasured guitar amplifiers of all time. Popular models like the ShowmanÂ® and Band-Masterâ„¢, the first professional tube heads on the market, are considered collectors items today. The Band-Master VM amplifier takes the desirable mid-powered tube head concept to â€œVintage Modifiedâ€� performance by combining a real tube amp with a complement of essential effects.

The 40-watt tube platform provides a foundation of great tone to build on, and the versatile tube preamp offers a wide range of tone and gain settingsâ€”from world-standard Blackfaceâ„¢ Fender clean to aggressive overdrive with post-gain EQ. An all-new high-quality DSP platform adds reverb, chorus/vibrato, and delay effects with the convenience and â€œtweakabilityâ€� of standard stomp boxes, without the need for extra cables or power supplies. The Band-Master VM amp (combined with its companion 212 VM enclosure) is the perfect head/cabinet rig for onstage versatility and big, fat Fender tone.

Already posted about in the NAMM thread.

It would be awesome without the digital stuff. Then again, its not like bandmasters are rare. They're probably going to be a shade more expensive than a super reverb.

How else are you going to get reverb out of a head without the use of a separate unit?

If you don't like the digital stuff just don't use it.

wait... is the digital stuff just reverb?
if not i dont care but if it has like backing track crap and "fx" then nevermind

The digital stuff is reverb, delay, chorus, and probably some other crap.

Computers have no place in my amp.

Amen. I would be more interested in a hand wired reissue.
Line 6 and Bogner started this mess, I look for most companys to come out with this garbage.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 4:27 pm

the little 15 watt line 6's are cool to fuck around on but never to use live and shit you look like a moron

However at least it has a dirty channel.

All depends on the price.....IMO, a simple clean head is something Fender should of been building for a long while.....The digital modeling of the reverb wtf is that about, that and clean tone are all Fender have left.....Reverb is Fender

But that's all it is so in reality it shouldn't cost the earth..... but I bet it will set you back 1k or something insane
