Tt12

Post by Dennis Ellerbee »

I play through one all the time. I love it. It has plenty of power and sounds great. I have had more compliments on how good the amp sounds than with any others I have owned. I used Travis Toys settings and tweeted them until I found the sound I like. Light weight to.

Happy with mine for home, jams, and gigs in small venues. It's also a decent recording preamp. Very happy with the purchase but it hasn't replaced the Webb for most stage use, different tools for different tasks.

It used to be my leading amp for gigs, whether for stage mixes or reinforced sound. Then, I moved to a SuperBlock US to control the TT's tone and reverb. I now use the SuperBlock as a preamp for the Tonemaster FR-12. However, I would not sell TT. The only time I thought about using it for an unfriendly backline I just brought the SuperBlock instead.

Jon, interested in the Fender FR12 usage. Are you using the stock speaker? Should have plenty of power for the stage.

Larry, the speaker in the FR-12, is integral to the overall neutral sound. It has its own tweeter. You have to provide it with a preamp. The Quilter SuperBlock has an amplifier selection, speaker emulation, reverb, and effects loop. It has dials and no menus, so dialing your tone is easy.
The FR-12 has some tone controls, but I mostly leave them neutral. It has more than enough power. I use a Hilton volume pedal.
I have not miked the FR-12 it has its own line out.

Jon thanks. I am aware of the functionality of both pieces of equipment but I questioned the Fender speaker as to its ability to carry the steel. It seems to be a decent quality product from the reviews and videos. Love to see and hear one in action. Hopefully someone will post some sound clips.
