I’ve been using my new Fender ToneMaster Pro and the UI is so wonderful nothing will ever be the same. I feel total freedom. Goodbye user manuals.
I also love the clean Fender amp sounds.
But… I don’t want to give up my amazing Kemper Stage sounds.
I’ve integrated the Stage into the Fender ToneMaster by simply assigning a button to route the send/return stereo aux.
Create parallel routing on the ToneMaster: One for the Fender + foot switches, a parallel path for the Kemper AUX return.
So, one button labelled “Kemper” (in green😄) switches off the Fender amp path and switches on the Kemper stage path. It works perfectly.
But, the stage and ToneMaster is a tad hefty (and wide) for a pedalboard!
Enter the Player. I will be selling the stage at some point, buying the Player. My Fender Tonemaster becomes the beautiful mothership, with one button access to the Kemper, in a nice neat pedalboard package.
I will also see how I go about adding Midi control and if I can assign more granular control on the Kemper, from the Fender.
So great to have this big beauful display of the Fender Tonemaster and have the amazing Kemper sounds sitting right there in the background on demand.
My partner rolls her eyes but it all makes perfect sense to me 😎
