With its extensive range, flat response, and mighty 1,000-watt onboard power amp, Fender's Tone Master FR-12 powered guitar cab transforms any digital modeling unit into a gig-ready powerhouse rig. Naturally, the
Tone Master FR-12 is a perfect choice to pair with Fender's Tone Master Pro modeler. However, this cab's full-range, flat-response speaker setup comprising a 12-inch driver and a 1-inch wide dispersion high-frequency driver serves as a blank sonic canvas for a variety of profilers and modelers. Volume is all but an afterthought, thanks to the FR-12's onboard 1,000-watt power amplifier, and you also get a top-mounted control section with handy volume and EQ controls. Finally, guitarists can't help but appreciate how the FR-12's lightweight black-Tolex plywood enclosure and metal tilt-back legs capture all the vibe and visuals of a traditional Fender amplifier. This brilliant merger of aesthetics and functionality allows you to capture all the best of modern modeling technology with the timeless aesthetics of Fender's most iconic amplifiers.
Stage-ready 1,000-watt onboard power amplifier
While most digital amp modelers can gig just fine going straight into a PA system, running into a traditional guitar cab is often out of the question without the help of an outboard power amp just one more thing to lug around to and from the show! To save on space and simplify your setup, Fender's Tone Master FR-12 powered guitar cabinets come equipped with a massive-sounding built-in 1,000-watt power amplifier that provides more than enough headroom and volume for almost any gig. Not only does this allow you to utilize your digital modeler straight into the Tone Master FR-12 like a traditional guitar amp head, but it also retains all the classic looks that Fender players have favored for decades.
Top-mounted controls for easy tone shaping
So, you're all set up onstage, your modeler of choice is precisely rigged to accommodate your set list, and something just feels off. Every room is different, so it's not uncommon to need to dial in a few EQ tweaks to optimize your sound for your respective setting. Sure, you could reach down and twiddle with the controls on your digital modeler, but the Fender Tone Master FR-12 Powered Cabinet's onboard EQ controls offer a far more straightforward tone-shaping solution.
Like many of Fender's most legendary amplifier combos, the Tone Master FR-12 Powered Cab sports a complete control section on its top panel, comprising a 3-band active EQ, a high-frequency Cut knob, and a volume control. This superb setup offers a traditional amp-like experience of dialing in your tone onstage, removing any need for menu-diving or touchscreen wrangling with the precise and tactile feel of an old-school amp knob.
A versatile tonal canvas
When shopping for a powered cab to pair with your Tone Master Pro or other digital modeling unit, a cab that delivers a blank tonal canvas is a must. After all, your modeler is going to do all the heavy lifting, so it's only natural to seek out a pure, clean, and uncolored cab that can accommodate everything from classic Fender black-panel cleans to screaming full-stack fury. That's where the "FR" in the Tone Master FR-12 comes in. This powered cabinet boasts a full-range, flat response speaker setup of a specially designed 12-inch speaker paired with a 1-inch wide dispersion high-frequency driver the perfect tonal base to build upon with your favorite digital rigs.
