Fender Tone Master '59 Twin-Amp Joe Bonamassa Edition 2x12 Guitar Amp Combo in Tweed

The Fender Tone Master ‘59 Twin-Amp Joe Bonamassa Edition captures the feel, response and authority of Joe’s beloved late-50s high-powered Twin amps in a far more practical, modern package. Using Fender’s advanced digital modelling, it delivers the punch, headroom and dynamic sag of the original 5F8-A circuit, while remaining light enough to move easily and controllable enough for home, studio and stage.

At its heart is an 85-watt Tone Master platform voiced specifically to Joe Bonamassa’s specifications, feeding a pair of custom Celestion JB85 NEO Signature speakers. The result is a huge, three-dimensional clean sound that takes pedals beautifully and moves air like a real vintage Twin, without the maintenance or extreme volume of a full valve rig. With built-in power attenuation, convolution reverb, an effects loop and IR-equipped XLR out, it is a truly gig-ready solution for players who want classic Fender tone with modern flexibility.

Whether you are chasing Joe’s singing lead tones, big American cleans or edge-of-breakup blues crunch, this amp gives you the feel of a late-50s Twin with the convenience of a contemporary digital combo. The solid pine cabinet and Bassman-style grille cloth keep the look and resonance authentically vintage, while USB-C connectivity and IR management make it easy to integrate into today’s recording and live setups.

Authentic 5F8-A Twin Tone, Reimagined

Inspired directly by the legendary Fender 5F8-A circuit, the Tone Master ‘59 Twin-Amp JB Edition uses high-powered digital modelling to recreate the harmonic richness, touch sensitivity and wide dynamic range of a late-50s Twin. You get the same big, glassy cleans and muscular breakup that defined countless classic blues and rock recordings, but with rock-solid reliability and far less weight than a traditional valve combo.

Joe Bonamassa Signature Voice

Developed in collaboration with Joe Bonamassa, this is the first signature Tone Master amplifier and is tuned to reflect his favourite high-powered Twins. The custom Celestion JB85 NEO Signature speakers and carefully voiced digital engine are designed to deliver the tight low end, articulate mids and singing top end Joe relies on, giving you a professional, stage-ready sound straight out of the box.

Powerful Yet Practical

With 85 watts on tap, the amp has all the headroom and authority you would expect from a high-powered Twin. A rear-panel power selector with five attenuated settings lets you dial the output down for smaller venues, studio work or home practice, while still preserving the feel and tone of a cranked amp. This makes the amp far more usable in real-world situations than a vintage original.

Modern Connectivity and Control

Alongside its vintage-inspired front end, the Tone Master ‘59 Twin-Amp JB Edition offers a host of modern tools. Convolution reverb provides spacious ambience, an effects loop lets you place delays and reverbs after the amp’s drive, and a balanced XLR output with selectable cabinet IRs makes direct recording or going straight to front-of-house simple and consistent. USB-C support for firmware updates and IR configuration keeps the amp up to date and adaptable.

• Signature Joe Bonamassa Tone Master Design - Developed around Joe Bonamassa’s much-loved late-50s high-powered Fender Twin amps, this model delivers his preferred take on classic Twin tone, giving you a professional, artist-approved sound without needing a rare vintage original.
• 85W Output with Attenuation - The 85-watt power section provides huge headroom and punch for big stages, while the rear-panel selector with five attenuated settings lets you tame the volume for home and studio use, so you can enjoy driven Twin tones at more manageable levels.
• Custom Celestion JB85 NEO Speakers - Two 12-inch Celestion JB85 NEO Signature speakers deliver the scale and response expected from a high-powered Twin, with lightweight neodymium magnets helping to reduce overall weight while maintaining a full, authoritative sound.
• IR-Equipped XLR Out and Effects Loop - A balanced XLR line output with three selectable cabinet impulse responses, Ground Lift and Level control makes it easy to record direct or feed front-of-house, while the 1/4-inch effects loop lets you integrate time-based pedals after the amp’s core tone for a polished, professional rig.
