After owning a Mustang IIIv2 (sold now but still - I liked it) I came up with my favorite thing about good modeling amps. They give you the ability to tweak your sound with numerous pedal arrangements, cabinets, and amps. For someone who doesn't want to initially invest in a bunch of pedals it's a great way to find out what you really like before going out and buying the real thing. Novices can explore all these options without breaking the bank. In effect it's what you said - eventually you want to go buy the real thing. They serve well as a springboard to higher end gear. They also help when space is very limited.
yup! The ultimate try-before-you-buy.
exactly, same with amp emulation on pc like amplitube, you have all the amps right there to experiment on a lower budget and practical but with this gtx you have that same (and more) ocean of choices without the limitations of pc emulation. You have the footswitch, the amp, invest time in setting up your sounds and use it for jamming alone or with a band, recording, silent or mic'd, very versatile for €400-€500. Sure the real deal is lovely when you figure out what you want in a setup but cumbersome and expensive.
I completely agree.
An alternative is buy an amp cheaper than Katana or GTX and also buy a multi effects pedal board. But the price is getting to that of a Katana/GTX...
As a guy trying to figure out his first amp. Without a guitar store in site. I really appreciate videos and comments like this.
Um, they are so affordable now they unless you don't have space or desperate for money it's a good amp to have in your amp collection. I have one and intending to keep it. Paid £100 for it a few years ago, in mint condition.
The real beauty of these gtx amps is that you are only a few seconds away from finding ideal sounds and effects configs that can be downloaded and used for any song you can imagine. Many folks are taking time to craft song specific settings that can be used and sequenced into a full sets of songs and they are all online for you to try. (in seconds!) Just one stomp on the switch and you can change dozens of parameters to support the next song for practice or gigging. No dinking around with many tiny dials and multiple switches between songs. Simply one click your way through an entire set list or practice sequence. I dont want it to sound like a twin reverb, peavey, marshall or vox...want it to sound like the tune I want to play and this thing does exactly that. I want to play, not fiddle fart with settings all day or in the middle of a set. Oh, and it was cheap!!! Like a couple of peadals cheap! No messing with batteries, cables, power supplies etc. Just clean.
That's unreal amazing
I think a lot of people are missing the point about modelling amplifiers - you MODEL things with these. The great thing about the Fender Mustang series is that you can virtually start from scratch and build what you want. For guitarists who are also composers this one aspect is giant. Now, that said, these amps are like a freaking swiss army knife too - they can do SO many things! And do them pretty damn well. Also, on the road they're light and very reliable, plus the direct outs work so well and when combined live in parallel with using a mic in front, the sound is really 3D and you can play small halls to very large venues. You really can't compare them to a vintage tube amp that is heavy and often very fragile and has one good sound - this is definitely no one trick pony. Yeah sure, if I'm gonna just sit on my couch in front of my amp and get THE sound, I'll probably go for an authentic tube amp (gonna be loud for the wife and neighbors though). Also they take pedals incredibly well, if you wanna go that route. These things are real work horses, but if you don't like to experiment with settings then this will NOT be your thing (I've never kept one single factory preset onboard). However, if you take the time and tweak you can get great sounds (and diverse) from these things and much more - YOUR sound with a more than acceptable tone.
The 🎸 guitar mfgrs. At starting to put different sound options in the pots because before they scratched each other's backs by selling Pedals and 34 amps stacked on top of each other. Solid state became reality and that's cool. This way all you have to carry Is your Guitar and Amp!
I'm currently using the VIP1 and I preordered the Spark and I'm waiting for delivery. I also like the options of playing the electric and acoustic guitar in the same amp which and with the Spark you can do your smaller recording without having to spend money on and interface. It's supposedly on its way from China.
Can I run an unpowered speaker from the line outs? (1/4")
Maybe not?
I'm an old drummer..
Alohaas
Yamaha came out with the THR series and they were ridiculously expensive because they had the advent of the lunchbox amps but Peavy came out with the first mod amp to play multiple instruments including bass acoustic 2 electric guitar presets and this allowed IE a LP or Strat and 129 dollars and I got one for my birthday and I was so happy. I still have it but I preordered the Spark and I'm waiting for the delivery. A modeling amp has different pedals and different amps and you can download more of these options. I don't know why they call practice amps because they are suitable for stage. I'm going to start a You Tube channel to cover all aspects where we learn ❤ together on budget guitars without modifying and Amps also. Look it up in the if your interested. I'm by no means a professional so we will learn together and and hopefully I can get enough subscribers maybe I can get donations but that's not what I'm after because it will be fun for everyone who tunes in on it. So hit the like button and hit the bell for notifications and subscribe 😆 LOL. Well you know the drill.
I'm not a fan of Fender amps because I have a acoustasonic and they all have the twang like the Tele and you can't remove that portion out. I traded the VIP1 for a Mustang and he was a die hard Fender person and we traded back. SWOOSH LOL.
Thank you for a clear, sensibly presented demonstration of the amp. You really make me want to try this one for myself.
Lol. "pool toy smell" I love Ryan's unfiltered honesty.
It packs a lot of nice features (looper, tuner, wi-fi, bluetooth, included footswitch) for the price. If it sounds even halfway decent that's a lot of value and convenience. People starting out today don't know how good they have it.
We had gorilla amps to start out on. I think anyone that complains about gear now should be locked in a room with a Gorilla Amp, a Memphis guitar and a cassette player. They can get out when they figure out the song and manage to get a somewhat less than garbage sound.
Thanks Ryan for your two cents worth and demo through the presets on this amp, great for the money, a starter or someone who can’t be carrying a tube amp, if your happy to spend time tweaking and developing your own tones and presets you can do a hell of a lot with these amps.
I still use my Mustang 3 with a Princeton as a stereo setup, run my pedals through the Princeton and use various basic personal patches from my Mustang 3 doing the modulations, verbs and delays as well, I love my overall tone and sound created using as stereo amps, it has a lovely warmth, depth, overall fullness when used like this. It really works for me in my band setup, I’m happy and sounds so full and didn’t cost me a fortune, there are endless capabilities until one day maybe I’ll be able to afford to get a 65 Twin??? I’ll probably always just keep hold of the Mustang 3 as so useful for practice, tons of effects variations and sounds really great paired with another amp that’s driving and running your pedals through.
Thanks for the demo. And thanks for programming your own surf setting. it is great. You used the appropriate guitar and effects and set them up very well. Most people neglect a good surf setting. And Fender even did so and shame on them.
I hope Fender reads the comments in your channel so they know its worth sending you gear. I trust your reviews/opinion when it comes to guitars/amps/gear. I've been watching you on and off for over a year now. Thank you for this very in depth review. I went out and ordered this from Sweetwater, it arrives tomorrow! As someone who lives in a 100 year old house with bad wiring and of course LED bulbs in every room and dimmer switches in most rooms I can't use a pedal board without excessive noise. As much as I want to be a tube amp player with boutique pedals. I'm a bedroom player only and having the FX built into the amp and the ability to line out to my PC is what I need. Thanks for all you do.
I bought this amp about 2 weeks ago and I love it!!!!!
Why don't you have more subscribers? Clearly a quick study and able to sus what a patch was meant to be for. Impressive. And cool. Thanks. One more follower...
I am glad you put so much content on here!
You really went through a lot of settings. The gain sounds messy, as most digital modeling amps do, but some of the other tones were fantastic. It didn't quite get the tones of a Deluxe Reverb, but it would be great fun for a practice amp. Even though I may sound negative, your video honestly sold me on one. I will be getting one of these!
I still can't believe Irish Anthems was just sudo-Edge tones. I thought it may have been something like The Pogues lol.
Damn! Can't believe the crazy amount of presets! Very cool
This amp rocks ! Good live through p.a. and recording is stellar endless options.
One of the things that really makes this amp shine is sending it out in stereo to speakers. It sounds incredible. You really don't need another amp or pedals if you have this dialed in and know what you are doing. I just got this amp, had a Mustang 3 before, had to get this amp, because I regretted getting rid of the 3.
You mean u send it out of the XLR outputs, straight to a mixer?
@@davidordonez8964 yes
@@boo-leeproductionsinc3501 Do you hear the same there in stage, of what the PA is always sounding?
Nice. When new gear begs for discovery, it's a winner.
Yasss! Finally a thorough review of this amp. Thanks Ryan!
Thank you for not throwing the box at the camera. I have a little Fender effects-laden amp that would not suit me for gigging, so I'll probably go the way of a clean amp with a few pedals.
Great review, I had the Mustang 2 this is one worth looking out for
Thanks for this review, i really appreciate it :)
Haha, love the pop-up prior to posting a comment 😂.
Great video and as a beginner, 3 months in, I just purchased this amp and believe this is a great amp that doesn't break the bank.
You mentioned this would be a game changer when you started. Would be great if you responded or provided a video on your top 5 or 10 reasons why this amp would be a game changer when you first started learning guitar. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) That way, we could learn more from your experiences.
Keep up the great work! 😁👍
Very thorough review thank you😊
Cool review bro, that Fender mustang GTX 100 is a must have for the price.🎸🎶
The app makes it even easier and more visual. You can change the in amp settings (ie, adjust sag, etc) as well as more of the pedal settings, and also has tons of songs in the app you can play along to.
YES! YES! YES! The footswitch is everything to me. Probably use about 5 or 6 presets when playing a gig. I need the control under my foot. And it comes “free” ish with the amp. Wake up other manufacturers. Great demo. Love the honesty. PS. When you’ve finished with it, can you pop it over to me in the UK. Cheers.
Lolol a Bassman with an outboard reverb is a perfect surf setup very similar sounding to a Dual Showman. Sometimes you say Show Man and sometimes you say Showman. I wonder how the direct outs sound. Could be a perfect gigging up. You’re my favorite demo guy because you like those surf tones.
Good review Ryan thanks, yep presets are usually rather dodgy sounding, but if you take the time to dial in a specific patch you can get some great sounds out of these things. I still use my Mustang 3 amp in my stereo amp rig using Princeton amp as my core basis with a few modulation, delays and reverbs on one side so quite clean, then put my pedals mainly drives through my other Fender amp, and I love my overall warm full sound. You just gotta work with the gear you have and never expect the presets to be spot on or sound great.
I bought the amp while my main tube I use with the band was in repair. I really like it. I actually sold a Blues Jr to by it. The fender tone app is really where it shines. Being able to see the amps and pedals you're modeling helped me to know what they were going for. Theres also a manual you can Download from fender that say specifically what amps they based the models on with out the copy right issues. There is a tube bias on most the amp model that does a really good job at dialing in a tube amp model. The biggest benefit I get out if is recording. I don't have enough money to buy all the gear I want so it's nice to have something that can model a Klon. Also prefer recording modulation off this amp opposed to my pedals. For example I use a univibe on my pedal board but the univibe on this amp has exact timing so if you want to match the modulation exactly with the rythm you dont have to screw with the knobs constantly. The biggest down side with this amp is the speaker. I play in lower tunings alot, C and D. If you play that low and pair a high gain amp with a big muff the amp sounds like it's flubbing. It's not a big issue for me though cause I mostly use it for recording or solo stuff that I don't need to play heavy for.
It’s funny you say that, because I’m on the fence between this and the Blues Jr, but I’m leaning on this.
Really liking the Lead 3 tones on this demo.
I have had this amp for about 4 days now and I really like it. I got the 100 watt version. It's great. The amp modeling is not on and the selection is tremendous. It's amazing to change amps, cabs and effects by just touching a button. It sounds plenty rich and full in person. You may need to dial in a certain tone, but everything is tweakable. Don't go by the sound of a UA-cam video. Some of the presets are ridiculous, but to me, EVERY time is in there. The vintage Fender amps in particular are on point and sound really good.
Meant to say the amp modeling is SPOT on, and every TIME is in there. Damn autocorrect.
I’ve been playing for a little over 25 years and I think it sounds pretty dang good, I mean could use a little eq tweaking but yeah it sounds good.
Video was worth it just for your “surf patch editing lesson”
Interestingly, I have ordered the 50 watt version for my home 🏠 studio this morning prior to watching this . Also interestingly, the pedal does not come with it. Making the 100 watt version worth the extra 100 quid as it’s 85 quid for the pedal separately, unless I get the four button one, which apparently also works with the GTX models ( why did they choose to call the amp after a motor oil or 70’s Ford sub model 😂😂👍)
Can’t wait to play with mine, when it comes.
I own a few really nice amps. But wanted a Fender amp as I sold my Champ 12 a few years ago and wanted to replace it with something an amp I could use for Recording. And decided that it would be the “Only other amp I would need” especially if I wanted a few Fender amps. It does seem to do its own amps well.
Paid a little over £300 quid. The 100 watt version in the UK is a bit over £400 quid.
I won’t ever sell my Wem, and will hum and ha about my Marshall, depending upon how well I really get on with the GTX 50.
Would it really make me buy a particularly Fender valve amp at a later date. Well, my Arthritis may well be the deciding factor there. As cannot carry much weight these days without it setting off a case of carpal tunnel again. Had a complete year of not being able to play guitar at all. So a nice light weight amp, with paired back equipment for gigging will definitely be my future, despite me being a Luddite who believes valve amps are king.
super demo merci
I just picked the GTX50 with foot switch for $200. Going to be a Christmas present. I had picked up the Katana 100 mk2 for cheap about a month ago. Both amps are awesome. I happen to really love the Fender amps so even though I enjoy the Katana I couldn’t get the GTX out of my head. One thing people should know is how loud even the 50 watt can be. The Katana has the ability to use a .5 watt setting. I sold the Spark to get the GTX50. The guy that sold me the GTX50 said that the high volume and the tinkering was too much for him. He liked the simplicity of the Spark. I don’t really see the much of a difference when using my iPad for either the Mustang or the Spark. Another reviewer chose the Mustang because it can be used to play small gigs and has a better amp speaker. Someone commenting in that video also spoke of the Mustang volume in a bedroom practice setting being too loud. I couldn’t not buy it because I have the Mustang III V2 and I would rather have the ability to connect with my iPad rather than PC with Fender Fuse. Anyway, to each his own. Great amp and great review.
Link Wray with Robert Gordon made great records! We gigged a lot of their materiels in a rockabilly/ oldies/ motown band I played with years ago.
I like this amp it's good enough for me certain people want certain tones I get it but I manage to tweak this and make it sound super good for me at least
i like affordaboard because although i've had tons of pro gear over the last 30 years sometimes you can get great sounds, especially lo-fi stuff from cheap gear, some really old stuff that people sniffed at is considered desirable now, and for example I got a Joyo overdrive that's easily as good as my DOD, vintage Boss or other more expensive overdrives I own(ed) etc
Thank you for all you do!!! Stay Home Stay Grounded!!! Stay Safe!!!
yeah OK but how? it's like saying "stay strong!", my response is always "OK, how?"
Thanks Ryan for this video helped me make my decision between this amp and Boss Katana mkii 100 lol! Can you do some videos on how to play some " Surfy" type riffs? You play those so well! Lol
I can’t help think ‘More Cowbell!’ every time he turns up the volume. 🐮🔔
Great review, Ryan. Thanks.
very helpful
I juat bought an older version of modeling fender amp .the g-dec 30 is pretty much an older but just as cool version. I love it so much I'm probably gonna get the gtx100 now.
I think Spoonful is for the Cream version of the blues tune.
I’ve messed with all the presets, and now I think I am ready to start overwriting and just starting with the amp models themselves-and then start shaping my usable sounds.
4:25 that foot switch would greatly help my papa. His eyes are bad. Can’t wait to start playing with him again
I like how when dude tries all this stuff out he makes the most disgusted face ever. Like he's hearing something so terrible he can taste it. Then he stops playing and says something like "hey, sounds pretty good!"
Deathmetal breakdown face
Your new surf setting would work great for me in my Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters tribute band.
Your reaction after reading "Surf splash" made me choke on my drink from laughing hahaha
Working my way through this... Love it! You really give a great overview of the amp! I apologize if you’ve covered this already, but I also have a Jag. Did you discover an EQ setting that suits a Jag style guitar well? My understanding is that you can set EQ on it to fit a particular guitar. Is that true?! If so any tips there? I feel like my Jag is a bit too tinny or shrill through this amp other than on a few amps ... I’m brand new to it though. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface w potential sounds.
It just struck me that you're the embodiment of Looney Tunes! You've got Yosemite's beard, Tweety's hair color, Bugs' wit, Wiley's evil genius (nail polish), Road Runner's speed (time lapse), people say you play like Pepe (it stinks?), and when the fuzz turns on, you turn into Taz!
🤣❤️🎸🔥
I demoed this amplifier its loud with some headroom tweakable with the presets it's not a bad amp there is a looper
I like to be like mattias wasser that likes different types of unique sounds the fender mustang series is the go for that definitely ! The sound doesnt even sound bad at all at least for me
Just found you while watching some Mustang videos. This is sweet! I'm making some new Mustang tone videos too. I'd love to do a collab with you on UA-cam to talk about the new GTX series. Thanks for considering!
I realize this review is pretty old now but I love this amp! My first amp was a new Fender LT-25 about a year ago and I own no pedals or effects and don't need them. I just bought this as possibly the last amp I'll ever need as it is good enough for gigging. You didn't get into the Tone software and that is one of the best features for me. On your computer you get a graphic pic of each pedal and amp and you can adjust every pot and switch on each device with your mouse. It's so easy to sit there and tweak each preset and sound until it is just as you like it and then rename and save it. It has bluetooth too so you can run it with your phone or tablet, they thought of everything.
Thanks for sharing these great thoughts , I know I’ll benefit from them. Much appreciated , cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 !
Nice video
What did you think of the British amps modeled? High gain? How does this compare to plugins? These videos don't always do sounds justice and vice versa
STL Tonality’s Tonehub or any of the 3 plugin suites of theirs would be a much, much better option for anyone with a laptop or PC setup. Can’t beat the price or the tones in my opinion.
Fantastic amp, I've got the 50W version and it's much better than my dusty old Peavey tube amp for what I use it for. Got it "used" (practically brand new, film was still on the screen) for around 320$ at GC which was a total steal; only thing that sucks about the 50w is the lack of the foot pedal, which I bought but is exorbitantly overpriced imo. Shit, just the GTX50 and the foot pedal both bought new is the same price as buying the GTX100 which includes the pedal, which is dumb, but oh well, buyer beware I guess
Hey Ryan! what do you love most, yourself or fuzz?
Can you plug a bass into this thing like you can the Spark?
Doses this still hold up now going into Feb 2023, novice looking upgrade any better options around this price point?
I like this video
Great review! What's the best modelling combo amp according to you?
Mucho information senior...my patch hurts after watching this. 😐😑🙄😁
I'm a beginner and far from an authority on guitar gear. Anyway I've managed to acquire 3 tube amps and 2 solid state amps during the last 2 years, and I play all of them daily. I currently have a Marshall DSL20, a Vox AC10 a Boss Katana 50, and most recently a Mustang GTX50 that I exchanged a Pro Jr for. I love my tube amps but I think that the Mustang GTX is a great amp with endless capabilities. The Katana is good too but the new Mustang blows it out of the water. Sure there have been many crappy solid state and modeling amps during the last 3 decades and the tube amps for sure will sound better when dialed in right, with the right gain, the right tube saturation, and also with added pedals, but the technology has come a long way. There is definitely nostalgia when it comes to the tube amps but 90% of guitar players and 99.9% of the regular listeners in the audience won't be able to tell the difference between a tube amp and a good quality modeling amp such as this one.
A big shout-out to Ryan! I really enjoy his videos and gear reviews! Cheers!
Cobra Kai! I have a GT100 and love the sound I get out of it.
Do you think this amp would work well with Universal Audio amp in a box pedals like the Dream 65? Is the amp’s speaker “neutral” enough to work well with the UA speaker/cabinet emulations offered in those pedals? Thanks!
I feel like you get the best experience with this if you just believe that it's capable of delivering (which it totally is). I think the way to handle this amp is to skip past the patches and go straight into making your own. You can definently make your own great patches on this amp, and the footswitch is great too. For 500$ I do think it's very good, but it's just that the patches make it seem kinda bad lol. Too bad. Great modelling amp though.
For home jams, is thia worth getting over the LT50?
Can anyone say what backing tracks and other audio inputs sound like through this amp?? Understand it’s not an FRFR but some reviewers have said it’s “almost” full range. Also if it’s doing cab sims/IRs surely it has to be wider range than a standard speaker voiced solely for guitar??
Get one of those and plug it into a PA or big stack if you want the big ass sound. I want to see a vid of someone doing that. Kind of use it as an intricate amp head and see what it sounds like
You needed to link the wifi and Bluetooth to your amp with your phone or iPad and add or subtract effects and tweak the amp on the screen. That is the game changer for the amp.
Will this amp work good on a Lap Steel Guitar aka Slider Guitar? Looking to shred on one soon
Maybe you covered it. The Global EQ settings change the amp dramatically. What's your thoughts.
Master of Mullets Best band name ever
I'm in the process of trying to figure out which combo amp I want. I have a Spark MINI and it's great for noodling around. The portability is great too, but I've recently found a pretty big bug with their higher gain pedals and amps. There's a reverse gate effect when you have a little bit of gain and it gets worse as you add more gain. You can't hear it if you have delay, but it's very obvious if you don't.
I'm considering either the Line 6 Spider V Mkii 120, BOSS Katana 100 Mkii and Fender GTX100. I know you've played at least the Katana and the GTX. Do you have a preference for either? I've read that the Katana has a more immediate feel to it than the Fender. Have you found this to be the case? Is it noticeable enough to choose the Katana over the Fender? My first amp was the Katana 50 Mkii. I hated it, but a lot of that had to do with the fact that I really didn't know much about amps or how to dial them in or the specific subtleties required to get a great tone out of the Katana.
Anyhow, what are your thoughts on the two?
I really loved this to check how it works or more likely, how it sounds, that just 10 minutes videos just switching rapidly and not checking carefully, as this amp is more complex compared to a Katana that is more straight forward.
I think I will get a Mustang and a Katana. I like too much how the Mustang sounds with clean tones but not with overdrive or high gain, but the cleans for bluesy tones, rock 'n' roll and country like generes sounds absolutely beautiful to me; on the other side, I don't like Katana's clean tones, but is a huge difference a Katana for high gains with humbuckers is so cool, but I don't like that much high gain on the Mustang. I already seeing other video showing the Katana with a Strat trying to get straty tones from songs actually played on a Strat and not, it doesn't sound near to that tone.
Like I said, I think I will have both to play at home and be switching depending on my mood. Thank you for this video!
me as an intermediate player thinking to buy this as my next amp.
This dude: I would def. recommend this to beginners
@Bryan Charles thx man, this helped me a lot. Ill look into it.
@Bryan Charles are these signal paths not up to the same speed as the katana, ect? I'm an intermediate as well and looking for my first decent amp but don't know if I should get this or the Katana, or save up the extra bucks and get one of those new Deluxe Reverb Tonemasters. (modeling) Just trying to see what would be most inspiring privately and usable live. I like that this Fender has so many models and effects built in, and accessible through an app not the computer like the Katanas.
@Bryan Charles Wow. Thank you, thank you, and did I say, thank you!? Very useful information for me right now. Especially since you have experience with these amps. So Katana for better tone, Fender for more options. I hadn't even heard of the Blues Cube now I have another one to give an ear to!..and yes I saw intheblues review and he seems to like both for different reasons mostly the ones you've outlined. I'll have to get in store and take a listen if I can I think thats gonna be the best option
@Bryan Charles I've considered tubes as well, like the blackstar ht20 mk2 and was weighing that against the blues junior and it seems a definite worthy competitor although I haven't played either just going off of videos I've seen. Ah, so many options! Haha I dig this Fender Gtx lineup because of the effects and pedal built in, and with a LOOPER. Just seems to make more sense to me because of what you get out of the box! Not having to pay a few hundred extra on pedals or an external looper is just great. Tubes are awesome but from what I've read they aren't the most practical, especially now with everything going to digital.
@Bryan Charles and cool on the SuperChamp X2! Will check that out as well.
tryna get a new amp, should I go for the fender GTX100 or GT100?
My GTX upgraded itself to firmware version 3.0.96, anyone know what that is? What was changed or added?
I've had the 50 and 100 I agree with you if your a beginner or someone who just likes noodling around this Amp is perfect its an amp you can start with and play for 2-3 years and not out grow it as for the difference between the 50 to 100 is foot switch the rest is the same I even though volume wasn't much different I went with the 50 as the keeper as my legs dont work so footswitch wasn't beneficial to me or if you don't have the money for the 100 the 50 will keep you happy till you can spring for the peddle later
So can you set a solo boost for live gigs ?
Have you decided to do another video with the GTX? I’m Interested on what you think about it after spending more time exploring the amp.
Same. I'm seriously considering this one
I am always wondering if the new tonemaster pro is actually GTX100 on a pedal
Okay, it's a fantastic, phenomenal amplifier. I have seen that there is a GT200 model that according to my research is an older model. Well, is there any difference between both models? I mean, apart from the aesthetics and power. Greetings my friend.
Great review, would love to hear it with a speaker upgrade, the speakers always seem to be the weak spot.
They did put a new speaker in for the gtX series, dunno how much better it was but it definitely sounds less boxy than the previous generation
Speaker be just fine. Just played the 50 live.
Cowabunga Dude!!
12:30 Dick Dale -Break- Thank you for getting to important features & custom patch examples... I'm seriously considering a Buy on this Amp and no doubt, expect a long learning curve! My KEY reason for choosing GTX 100 over "Katana" or others? Dirt tones or Metal sounds are easy 100+ pedals for that stuff. But the amp to reproduce Fender cleans, is something no other modeling amp does as good as... Fender!
I feel the same way. If you want Fender cleans, a Fender amp does it best. I paired this with an HX stomp to get better reverbs and dirty tones. And since the HX stomp also works with every other amp, it's not money wasted.
Does anyone know if the output can be configured so that cabinet emulation can be switched off to use with an external ir loader? Thanks
Is this amp recommended for playing live?
Tip to those who have a Mustang. Put a simple eq at front of chain, and kill the 80hz freq., and change the Global EQ off of Flat. These amps are full range to accommodate the Bluetooth capabilities, if it wasn't full range your music that plays through Bluetooth would sound like crap. So you have to adjust for that or your speaker(s) will fart out on most settings at a high volume, same goes for the real high frequencies, electric guitar is not meant to be played through a flat response amp. Acoustic guitar is a different story, but that's cool because this makes a nice acoustic amp also!!
Music played through this amps speaker sounds like crap
Does a valvle blues Jr sound equally yo the digital blues Jr on this amp?
Definitely interested in these. Seems like a great step up from a starter amp like the Champion 20 (which is what I currently have).
Curious how this stacks up to something like the Boss Katana. I like the XLRs on the Mustang as they would be great to have if you wanted to run it into a system.
Go with this, way more functionality.
@@MJPGuitar - thanks. Although the new Catalyst looks compelling too...
Thanks for this video. I’m trying to decide between the GTX 100 and GTX 50. I want the 100, but I’ll mostly just be playing in our house, can I turn the GTX 100 down pretty low and it will still sound good? Thanks.
Volume at 1 or all the way up, same sound with the exception of speaker movement dynamics. It is an advantage of Modelling Solid State amps. The footswitch is included with the GT100 as well which enables the looper.
Irish Anthems could also have been used for Big Country stuff too
Don’t get many Big Country patches, love the Scottish rockers. rip Stuart Adamson
did you changed global EQ to bright cut or guitar tone 2?
i did that after this video, this was an unboxing so i didnt get a chance to get into the nitty gritty, ill do update videos soon.
When all the videocards are out of stock...
gotta revert to GTX100
Fender is putting out their new GTX series of modeling amps. They are trying to compete with the Spark by Positive Grid
ABSOLUTELY Absolutely!
Well at least his damn Strato had so Humbuckers on
Love your channel. Whatever happened to Dinosaur Ghost?
we all got busy with life. We haven't had a practice let a lone a gig in forever.
