Fender issues firmware update for Tone Master Pro – introducing tonnes of new amp and effects models
Fender has launched a sprawling new firmware update for its multi-effects guitar processor, the Tone Master Pro.
The update brings an abundance of new amp and cab models plus effects – eight amps, eight cabs and 15 effects, to be precise – as well as a number of new features and “user-friendly enhancements”, including a second page of footswitch button assignments, a new search function and an improved looper.

There’s also a new Strobe Tuner option, a new global setting to enable Tap Tempo for Delays, a range of new footswitch assignment types for EZ Looper, Play/Stop, Record/Overdub and more, a new Song Mode footswitch shortcut, and a redesigned interface for the IR edit screen.
The Tone Master Pro now features over 100 amp and effects models, and over 6,000 Fender-captured impulse responses. A full list of the new amps and effects can be seen below:
