The Fender Tone Master is a boutique-quality 100-watt piggyback amplifier introduced in 1993 as a limited-production model aimed at professional players. It features two channels, a selectable power-tube complement allowing operation with 6L6 or EL34 tubes, and a design philosophy focused on high-quality components and hand-wired construction. The Tone Master delivers exceptional clean headroom with crystalline Fender sparkle and a warm, musical overdrive on the lead channel. It was produced in limited numbers and has since become highly collectible.
