You give them too much benefit of the doubt.
86%-ish of all advertising is bald-faced lies....
[Edited this because really the hiss is not bad enough to be a deal breaker with how good these sound]Hey all. This is what Fender say:
We understand your concern and in this instance, the level of hiss you refer to is to be expected. The amplifier creates 1000 Watts of audio output. At “idle”, the level of the background sonic output is much greater than guitarists typically hear from any conventional amplifier. The FR amplifiers also have a 1-inch, wide dispersion, high-frequency driver, something the majority of guitarists are not at all familiar with having in their amplifiers. This driver handles only the highest of frequencies, so at idle it is obviously emitting a level of pure, high frequencies.
A direct correlation is that the sound of a high-performance automobile at idle is considerably greater than the sound of a family car at idle. The same concept applies here, in that the Tone Master FR amplifiers are hugely capable and purposely designed for stage use. They will easily out-perform any challenger and to do so requires a great deal of “muscle”, which is what you hear at idle.
Not sure what to even think of this….
Beside each other at the same angle will acoustically couple the cabinets and make the low end badass.
Does the PXM have an EQ section? My MF10 is also super quiet but no onboard EQ.Well my PXM-12 (1200w) is sitting right next to it at the same volume and no hiss so not really sure about this explanation. I probably should have waited until this design issue was sorted and bought the next version of this cab
If they don't fix it ...
I too like the onboard EQ. Analog….easy….no bending over…
Yes... A very flexible DSP is part of the PXM-12MP.

At least they didn't guarantee it but hey who knows right!
Ridiculous marketing BS answer. And I'm sure they meant to say it's LESS than you'd typically hear from an amp--they said "much greater". PfftHey all. This is what Fender say:

Yeah the DSP in the PXM is pretty damn good imo.
It’s funny, there’s a lot of discussion about response time of modellers but never hear anybody talk about the delay in digital pa’s. Just an observation.
