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-10 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-10 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-10 comes in. This powered cabinet boasts a full-range, flat response speaker setup of a specially designed 10-inch speaker paired with a 1-inch wide dispersion high-frequency driver — the perfect tonal base to build upon with your favorite digital rigs.
