Got my Mustang 3 this weekend, and it came witht he 2 button footswitch. Thanks for posting this in depth review on the amp and all of its functions. I will be Buying that 4 position footswitch now. It definitely adds functionality to the rig. The tone and volume from this little amp is amazing. I play using a Fender Telecaster Custom FMT HH with Gibson burstbuckers, and the amp provides everything I need to push the sound.
I commented on this 9 months ago, and you said you were thinking about making a video with this amp and a shoddy junker guitar to see if it would play beautifully. I said I would probably buy one of these if you made that vid and it worked out. Well I guess I have to eat my words because I have one coming in the mail and you never made that vid, but you did make it seem more impressive than most reviews, so good job! You won this time!
Lastly it comes with a 2 button foot switch to change between the preset your on to the next or back. If you set it up like I did. You could play some Opeth style stuff, like have one clean and shaped to your standards and the other to a distortion and again shaped to your choosing. It's a great amp for the money.
I have an issue with mine that you can honestly help me with, I need some feedback. Does the volume your's dip/cut out if it's too loud? I have that result with mine, would love to know if it's a common feature or if it's an issue that can be fixed.
I'm in the U.S., but Damon just sold another amp for Fender. I've been looking for an amp that would get me into the modeling realm, as well as into basic recording, but be large enough for the occasional jam. This amp meets my specs to a "T". Really, really good demo. A bit long, but it gave me the level of detail that facilitated my purchase decision. Thanks Nevada Music, and thanks Damon. Great Job!
The other day I got the mustang III from my local music store. So far I am very impressed. Killer tone and easy operation. I will probably just use the presets. I don't get into the editing. There is enough on here to keep me busy for hours. I have the very first issued cyber twin. I think the mustang blows the cyber twin away. Well done Fender.
You will know when it sounds good, when the crowd is blown away by your sound. I picked up the 100 Watt Mustange 3, right after it came out. I have use this amp ever since then, at many concerts, night clubs, parties, and events. I use a 1992 Jeff Beck Series purple Strat, with this amp and it kicks ass. What a excellent sound compo these two tools, can produce. I use a old yellow Boss sustain pedal, with a volume pedal, into a wireless system back into the Mustange 3. I love the stock Patch 12, I believe it is a twin reverb compression patch, with reverb. It is perfect for everything from country to metal, using my Boss sustain, for a boost, on the lead solo's. The whole band is using Fender amps, (original Twin Reverbs). But, this little amp keeps up at every gig, and I believe it sounds better then the old amps do. I've been on the road with the Mustange 3, off, and on, for over a year now, with no problems. You cannot beat the price, it is extremely light. I highly recommend this amp for pro's, and beginners. I'm making money with it. Works for me.
@@mototheroad2566 the Mustang III comes with a 2 button foot switch - to go up and down presets. I strongly recommend you buy the 4 button switch, that is standard with the IV and V, which Fender still carries. I own a III, IV, and V.
Golf Hound Which is better Mustang lll , lllll against Roland KATANA 100 Watts. I’m confused which one has better features ? I already own Mustang 1 V2 for rehearsal.Planning to buy the good recommendation.Thanks...
Just seen one of these in my local music shop and they are awsome for the money. I have a crate flexwave halfstack and against this on the clean channel this is better for half the price, I know the flexwave is better for metal but I think this is an awsome amp
@Igamikun A 'Squier Standard Strat' is the the line of that guitar as the titles In the video state. It's obviously a new instrument so probably made this or last year. I disagree with you as the reason we used a Squier is shows the amp would be a good choice for those upgrading from a basic small practice amp. Also of a similar price to a Squier Standard instrument so the video is not just showing the amp with more expensive guitars but will work well with any priced instrument.
I was very sceptical about these amps, But I had a modeller for many years, It took me 2 years to really get used to it. I can say the Mustangs are even better!!! You can not go wrong at all! I got the 2 year coverage from Sam Ash also, for peace of mind!!! But the customization possibilities are more than I ever could imagine!
Excellent demo, Damon. I have owned the III and the V. I am using the Fender Floor now because of the quality. I use a power amp and some combo amps with this pedal and it gives me exactly the sounds you displayed in this video. Good job.
@shirakawa2 The volume control is well tapered and it's no problem to get that low play at home volume level that can be tricky with some valve amps which get real loud at about 1. The advantage of a Mustang 3 is that the screen makes editing a breeze and the full size speaker gives it a full size amp sound. Also a few more fx and amps too, so if you can get a few more pennies together then why not treat yourself....
@MrShredder666 - If you're talking about volume, I own the Mustang IV (150w stereo), and I have never had to turn the volume up past 4 at a gig. IT IS LOUD. I assume the 100w mustang 3 is pretty powerful as well, but I can personally confirm that the IV, with its dual Celestion Seventy-80s, is the loudest combo of its size that I have ever heard.
I LOVE MINE....The speaker sucked so i replaced with 100 watt CARVIN....waaaaaayyy better AND added a jack to plug in my 2 12 cab.....SO much FULLER...yep..
ok, i have one, and it doesn't autosave, but you just press a button to save your changes. i would hate if it autosaved; i like to experiment knowing i can still go back to how it was if i want, because that way i don't have to remember everything i changed. you probably won't care for a lot of the presets, which are there to showcase what the amp is capable of if you happen to desire those particular effects. they are based on existing songs and artists and are named accordingly, but if you don't gaf about a certain preset you can just use it to make what you want. there's nothing off limits to any channel you modify as far as what the amp offers. not all the emulations are golden to the trained ear, but you can't complain given this amp's purpose and price point. it is meant to shape shift into almost anything you can come up with. anything.
Wow. Thanks for doing these in depth demo's. I bought the Mustang III a week before I saw this video, and this video has helped me understand some of the functions that I have not even started using yet. I'd love to suggest a demo if you have a chance. I'd love to hear you guys review the Squier Classic Vibe 60's Strat and/or the Tele's that they are putting out. I bought the CV 60's because of how amazing it sounded through the Mustang, and am in love with my mustang and the Classic Vibe
I highly recommend getting this amp if you're trying to find a quality and affordable gigging amp. The mustang III is $329 but it is so freaking loud, I've never gone past 5 on the master volume. Buy the 4-button footswitch, and combine it the 2-button footswitch (included with the amp) and you have a versatile pedal board. The amp also has an FX loop you can you use for your pedals.
I have an issue with mine that you can honestly help me with, I need some feedback. Does the volume your's dip/cut out if it's too loud? I have that result with mine, would love to know if it's a common feature or if it's an issue that can be fixed.
Damon looks like he was blown away by the Squier Standard Strat...I concur, I have one , and the tone is spectacular...check them out when you are shopping.....poppa
@thewhorocks524 Some people say that because an amp has fx in it you can't use external fx but thats daft. You can use any pedal in front of the amp just like any other and wah's etc will work just fine, you would want to select a clean amp channel if your using a distortion pedal. There is an fx loop for any fx you would want to use after the amps pre amp just like a regular amp. Its just a matter of selecting the right Mustang sound for the pedals you want to use.
Would that be the noise gate cutting in and juddering at the cut off point? Its there to cut off hiss for home users. You could try with it turned off so there is no 'fizz' or judder at the transition point. Could be just the factory default setting. I'll try it in store and see if I can work it out.
This is very cool amp! Thanks for the great demo! I have tried a Fender Mustang II V2 40-Watt amp, and I was totally impressed by the way it sounded. It was the beefiest and best sounding amp for it's size that I have ever heard. I was planning on getting the Mustang II, but now I'm debating on getting that amp or the Mustang III. For only about $130 more than the Mustang II, the Mustang III sure is a great value. :)
@telecasterbear I love it when it takes you like 2 weeks to go through all the settings of an amp, it means you dont get board over night, this amp is sick I am trading my flexwave halfstack in now
I've been looking at these amps for a while now, and I am blown away by this demo. Great job! But I have heard mixed reviews about the sound. It sounds great on almost every demo on youtube. I played the mustang 2 once and it also sounded great. But how come some people say these amps are crappy digital amps? Is it just a matter of opinion?
Some guitar players feel in their opinion,, that only tube amps sound good ,,,either because the cost difference or because they probably spend a fortune on tube a amps and along comes this 200 dollar SS amp that sounds just as good if not better than their 1000 dollar tube amp ,, so that angers them ,,,,, just my thoughts ok , and although I love tube amps , I also love my mustang too with all of the effects and different amp models to choose from I'm VERY HAPPY WITH MINE !!!
I've used a VT30 for quite a while now, and recently had a chance to play through the new VT40+ and the Fender Mustang III. Honestly? That new VT40 sux. I dunno what they've done to it, but it sounds nowhere near the previous generation. The Mustang I loved though, some amazing clean tones. Didnt have a chance to plug it to a computer to check all those additional settings, but it was pretty amazing even without it. Yeah, right now it's the best amp for the money, if you ask me. Cheers!
Awesome amp! A virtual library of classic amp sounds and fx rolled into one light and LOUD package. Never regretted purchasing this amp for a minute since I bought it. If you have a good ear with a bit of patience (and a decent guitar,lol), there aren't many tones you can't get outta this thing.
Plaease answer this question as soon as possible, does the footswitch(4button) always play those 3 quick acces sounds, or can you decide whitch preset it should have on each one?
I had been tone searching for years, I bought a marshall and a blackstar still never had a good sound then I bought one of these amps using a boss gt 10 with it and it will blow your mind a way I would recommend this amp to any guitar player to try this amp!!!
I have an issue with mine that you can honestly help me with, I need some feedback. Does the volume your's dip/cut out if it's too loud? I have that result with mine, would love to know if it's a common feature or if it's an issue that can be fixed.
Hi, I really like this amp from what I've seen on the video, but as I can see, the headphones jack is the same for the Line-out. If I need to plug this amp to a mixer, maybe at a live gig, will it work using that jack with a 1/8 to 1/4 adaptor cable? and will this output mute the speaker?
There noise gate is accessed via the advanced amp section on the Fender Fuse software. You can adjust 'Noise Gate Custom Parameters' there. Unusual for so many different amps to have the same fault. Will try it out when I'm back in store tomorrow.
Question: does the volume dip/cut out if it's too loud? I have that result with mine. Would love to know if it's a common feature or if the amp can be fixed.
It is also possible that you might be too close to the amp. Single coils do hum. I also have a humbucker equipped guitar. No hum with the humbuckers. I have this amp. Hope this helps.
Hm i have mustang 1 v2 20wat, but i cant get rid of that noise it made when a play so is it depends on what cable i use? i did order a new cable, and right now I use a cheap cable
egget noob ,,, thats a good little amp, ,i made a speaker switch system, added a fender 12", cab, back of amp, is tricky, to take off, it is also glued!, sounds great
@Deluxeta Yes, sorry its a bit long, 34 mins is a record!! But there was so much good stuff to get through and we know you want to hear it in action !!
@telecasterbear You dont have to use the amp with the software in order to alter settings, fender have just given you the software incase you want to change an amp model to your sepcific settings and save it without having to use a small screen. Just helps make editing simpler really if you want to use the feature :)
thats what you get when you have your amp on while plugging it in your guitar. my mates amp fizzed and blew up when he done this, plug it in first then switch it on.
@ravenshield56 I would say the Mustang would be a great choice as it would allow you to experience and learn to play with different sounds, effects pedals and with the usb features, its pretty future proof and will keep you experimenting and playing for years. The raw sound is also brilliant so as an overall step up from a little fizzy amp, you'll absolutely love it. xx
I borrowed a Mustang III from a friend to play at church because my other amp broke down. We use in-ear monitors with no sound on stage. I just turned the master all the way down. This amp amazed me. The overall sound is very impressive. It takes pedals well. You can play clean by turning guitar volume down, mimicking a tube amp. It cuts through the mix exceptionally well. It is very easy to carry around because it is so lightweight. Fabulous amp. This is the best digital/modeling amp since the Line6 Flextone amps. But it is more versatile and lightweight. Fender hit a home run with this amp. I am going to buy one for myself soon.
the on thing ive noticed about the 2 smallest mustang amps is that they dont have a mid control. i dont know if that would matter to anyone but it does to me so, just so you know
Can you run a compressor (stomp function) after the amp? That way you can have a dirty marshall sound & engage the stomp button in effects mode on the footswitch & get a volume boost for lead parts.
There are amazing cleans on this amp!!!!! Thing is, they have the presets, Useless to me, But toward the end there are just basic amp models, There, you can make your own tones, So it is like having the 8 or so amps, Loving the deluxe and twin amps! Amazing tone!
i completely agree man i just bought this amp used for $200 and its amazing blows my old line 6 and mustang 1 out of the water thank you for the great informative review sir!
Thanks for posting this vid! It was really in depth and informative. I've been looking for a new amp, and the Fender Mustang 3 looked cool. Your video has solidified my decision to buy this amp. I can't wait to try out the effects and computer software! Oh, and I loved the Dalek joke. :D
If you can use two different speaker cabs......one on each side of the stage........use the ping pong delay and tell your audience that this is what their brain's sound like rolling around in a box car.
I heard a jazz instructor...(Rich Severson) use this Mustang 3 amp at a Texas Guitar show...and that's usually a huge room...tons of used guitars. He played a Gibson ES 175 through it, and there wasn't anything that was lacking. I was extremely impressed. (I use a Roland AC 100 Chorus amp) It had plenty of tone.
Does the footswitch allow you to control the 'tap tempo' (delay) in a live situation? I just read a review on MusicRadar (so called professionals) who wrote "Unfortunately, the footswitch doesn't offer Tap Tempo - you'll need to upgrade if you don't want to set it by hand". Upgrade what?
The thing is, the people who are going to buy these things probably haven't actually played 1/4 of the amps this is supposed to sound like. What do you have to compare your modeling experience to, if you haven't really played through any of these amps for real. You can get so many sounds out of one decent tube amp, 1 overdrive, 1 eq pedal and 1 guitar.
I think I am going to buy one tomorrow. Will this be compatible with my Pro Tools recording studio. I am an amateur when it comes to recording and might like what comes with it. You are awesome by the way. *****
I bought 2 of these and im running them stereo through the gt 10 it is killer, I been tone searching for 6 years and could not find it. ive spent a small fortune on pedeals. I have a gt 10 boss pedal and im running the stereo through them, and theses sounds u here on this videio is a joke to the sound I have so just try it I think you will love it!!!!
Played one with a. Guy using a blackstar tube amp we both played strats and SRV style heavy blues. The mustang lacked nothing. The presets SUCK! Make your own. The supersonic setting was best for heavy blues and the fender blackface was great for clean precise rythym work. Plenty of gain for metal but the twin and head have the bottom. I like petrucci and lamb of god so l know metal. A huge point for these amps is how QUIET they are on high gain,
Yes you can record that way. Nothing beats the sound of a speaker mic'd up though!

I got question, hope you'll response....I'am choosing modeling amp and I'm gonna decide between Mustang III or Line6 Spider IV...My question is If is this fender able to give me modern high volume sounds, because I'll surely need them and that's what Line6 gives me clearly, but I still love all these classy Fender sounds wich is this amp able to make....but I dont trust this so much about modern (alternative rock/metal) noise in downtuned dropped tunings....What do you think about it?Thanks Matt
Many videos on this amp but I head first for Damon Chivers, who is always congenial, articulate, and a terrific player. Rock on DC!
Terrific review as always, Damon... concise, thorough, articulate, well-played, appropriate style for preset chosen, etc. Bravo! Keep 'em coming.

leightonrocks so how do you switch channels live
moto theroad the amp comes with a pedal that can do that

Golf Hound Which is better Mustang lll , lllll against Roland KATANA 100 Watts. I’m confused which one has better features ? I already own Mustang 1 V2 for rehearsal.Planning to buy the good recommendation.Thanks...
How are you setting the volumes? I have a hard time hearing it during live performances. master volume level, gain? Any setting examples?
Man i sure wish i still had my mustang 3 ,,,i really did like the tones qnd even the effects were very useable
Just seen one of these in my local music shop and they are awsome for the money. I have a crate flexwave halfstack and against this on the clean channel this is better for half the price, I know the flexwave is better for metal but I think this is an awsome amp

Bout to pick one of these up sometime this week, can't wait to jam on it!!
@telecasterbear I love it when it takes you like 2 weeks to go through all the settings of an amp, it means you dont get board over night, this amp is sick I am trading my flexwave halfstack in now
ha, jazz is closer to most than they think...
Best review I'm seen on this amp, thanks

Modelling has certainly improved but still sounds a bit thin. Increasing Low mids would fatten the sounds up a bit.

6 fucking adverts and one to kick off the video. Fantastic!
onizuka8 xD I got none :P
yep your right I didnt notice it before but I bought the amp and I do love it
Plaease answer this question as soon as possible, does the footswitch(4button) always play those 3 quick acces sounds, or can you decide whitch preset it should have on each one?

Try turning your guitar volume down, if the hum goes its the guitar...... No problem with hum on these baby's. You got single coils I guess.
@MichelVonBerlin I agree,but this amp really sound top on the clean sounds.
Kind regards
Hi, I really like this amp from what I've seen on the video, but as I can see, the headphones jack is the same for the Line-out. If I need to plug this amp to a mixer, maybe at a live gig, will it work using that jack with a 1/8 to 1/4 adaptor cable? and will this output mute the speaker?
There noise gate is accessed via the advanced amp section on the Fender Fuse software. You can adjust 'Noise Gate Custom Parameters' there. Unusual for so many different amps to have the same fault. Will try it out when I'm back in store tomorrow.
@sjoefather of course! i got the mustang 3, 100w and volume level 5 is already extremely loud^^ should fit for most local stages
@flipside1974 We did a Classic Vibe video a year ago, but its not as good as our current ones.
Thanks for watching....
good choice, xmas is a while away though.........
For the money, show me a better sounding amp......
Got myself a mustang 3 today after much thought and I love it sounds great thanks for the videos they really helped👍
Had this amp for years- thank you for demonstrating it so well and fun to boot. Ty
Question: does the volume dip/cut out if it's too loud? I have that result with mine. Would love to know if it's a common feature or if the amp can be fixed.
It is also possible that you might be too close to the amp. Single coils do hum. I also have a humbucker equipped guitar. No hum with the humbuckers. I have this amp. Hope this helps.
Hm i have mustang 1 v2 20wat, but i cant get rid of that noise it made when a play so is it depends on what cable i use? i did order a new cable, and right now I use a cheap cable
egget noob ,,, thats a good little amp, ,i made a speaker switch system, added a fender 12", cab, back of amp, is tricky, to take off, it is also glued!, sounds great
this..
@Deluxeta Yes, sorry its a bit long, 34 mins is a record!! But there was so much good stuff to get through and we know you want to hear it in action !!
where do you get all these riffs you play when you demo amps?
I just bought one of these. I love it!!!
There are 2 Marshall amp models that would get you there plus what I think is a peavey 5150 type amp not to mention a boogie rectifier.
i like how 23:18 his computer light dimmed and had this look like "what the hell is this?!" hahaha
@telecasterbear You dont have to use the amp with the software in order to alter settings, fender have just given you the software incase you want to change an amp model to your sepcific settings and save it without having to use a small screen. Just helps make editing simpler really if you want to use the feature :)
@digitalph5 That's me !! Cheeky
Sounds awsome for such a low price, i might get one! But will it sound good with my epiphone les paul standard pro ?
thats what you get when you have your amp on while plugging it in your guitar. my mates amp fizzed and blew up when he done this, plug it in first then switch it on.
@ravenshield56 I would say the Mustang would be a great choice as it would allow you to experience and learn to play with different sounds, effects pedals and with the usb features, its pretty future proof and will keep you experimenting and playing for years. The raw sound is also brilliant so as an overall step up from a little fizzy amp, you'll absolutely love it. xx
This amp takes low priced amps to a whole new level. Utterly gigable, good initial sounds that are very tweakable. Loud, well made. Lightweight.
I borrowed a Mustang III from a friend to play at church because my other amp broke down. We use in-ear monitors with no sound on stage. I just turned the master all the way down. This amp amazed me. The overall sound is very impressive. It takes pedals well. You can play clean by turning guitar volume down, mimicking a tube amp. It cuts through the mix exceptionally well. It is very easy to carry around because it is so lightweight. Fabulous amp. This is the best digital/modeling amp since the Line6 Flextone amps. But it is more versatile and lightweight. Fender hit a home run with this amp. I am going to buy one for myself soon.
It sounds tinny in this vid, maybe it's just the recording....does it sound more full in actual use?
old news on that issue.
the on thing ive noticed about the 2 smallest mustang amps is that they dont have a mid control. i dont know if that would matter to anyone but it does to me so, just so you know
thx for the heads up! i was planning on buying this amp but now i am not so sure! they say it's not a problem on the I and II.
Crazy! Just saw the Mustang 3 on Facebook for 75 bucks
I hope you got it !
Could you get an expression pedal hooked up to control the wah?
Yes
Hi, well check out the new Mustang V2.0 video we've just done with Damon which explains all ! Click the link in the description .
If you have a link to a Mustang III (V.2), I'd appreciate seeing it: I could not locate it in the description :( Thanks!
Can't wait to find out what an ESP LTD EC 330 with active pick ups sounds like with a Fender Mustang III
8:34 - the word "Marshall" isn't allowed in a Fender video lol
Fender did Marshall tones better than Marshall. Hahahaha
But yet every rock band uses marshall 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a Fender Showman or Bandmaster amp model ? What does the Vox clean tone sound like ? Can it sound like Hank Marvin ?
Head into your nearest store and feel free to try them out. www.pmtonline.co.uk/stores/
Nice demo. Thanks !
"I apologize, that is sneaking into jazz territory." Gee, who would ever want to play jazz?
DucksDeLucks someone with taste...? Beats metal...
Martijn van den Akker he's being sarcastic.
Very professional and informative presentation
Can you run a compressor (stomp function) after the amp? That way you can have a dirty marshall sound & engage the stomp button in effects mode on the footswitch & get a volume boost for lead parts.
Didn't have a pull up Fender banner to hand and needed to cover the back round window with something. Doh... Never mind....
great detailed demo. Thanks!
@SlashingRecovery18 yes thats what i use it for its pretty good for all that stuff
There are amazing cleans on this amp!!!!! Thing is, they have the presets, Useless to me, But toward the end there are just basic amp models, There, you can make your own tones, So it is like having the 8 or so amps, Loving the deluxe and twin amps! Amazing tone!
i completely agree man i just bought this amp used for $200 and its amazing blows my old line 6 and mustang 1 out of the water thank you for the great informative review sir!
Thanks for posting this vid! It was really in depth and informative. I've been looking for a new amp, and the Fender Mustang 3 looked cool. Your video has solidified my decision to buy this amp. I can't wait to try out the effects and computer software! Oh, and I loved the Dalek joke. :D
18:26 My audience is always confused, I don't need a ping pong delay for that... lol
If you can use two different speaker cabs......one on each side of the stage........use the ping pong delay and tell your audience that this is what their brain's sound like rolling around in a box car.
I heard a jazz instructor...(Rich Severson) use this Mustang 3 amp at a Texas Guitar show...and that's usually a huge room...tons of used guitars. He played a Gibson ES 175 through it, and there wasn't anything that was lacking. I was extremely impressed. (I use a Roland AC 100 Chorus amp) It had plenty of tone.
Overdrives sometimes naturally hum when they are set too high (gain). I just use a noise gate.
Just bought one of these & can't wait to get my hands on it ... thanks for the review ... you're a fantastic player.
Does the footswitch allow you to control the 'tap tempo' (delay) in a live situation? I just read a review on MusicRadar (so called professionals) who wrote "Unfortunately, the footswitch doesn't offer Tap Tempo - you'll need to upgrade if you don't want to set it by hand".
Upgrade what?
The thing is, the people who are going to buy these things probably haven't actually played 1/4 of the amps this is supposed to sound like. What do you have to compare your modeling experience to, if you haven't really played through any of these amps for real.
You can get so many sounds out of one decent tube amp, 1 overdrive, 1 eq pedal and 1 guitar.
i loved a review of the superchamp with all those hendrix tones and wondered if you got the same effects on the mustang 3
Great looking guitar for sure! Just bought the Special HSS today...hope to play it enough to get that look... :-)
Wow this amp kicks ass!! I was gonna go for a line 6 spider but when I played my buddy's mustang 2 I just had to get the head and cab version.
just bought a mustang, and found out that fender has discontinued fuse software as of march 2020 :(
You do t even really need that if ur good at making ur own tones and believe me this amp is capable of producing great tones
I think I am going to buy one tomorrow. Will this be compatible with my Pro Tools recording studio. I am an amateur when it comes to recording and might like what comes with it. You are awesome by the way. *****
I bought 2 of these and im running them stereo through the gt 10 it is killer, I been tone searching for 6 years and could not find it. ive spent a small fortune on pedeals. I have a gt 10 boss pedal and im running the stereo through them, and theses sounds u here on this videio is a joke to the sound I have so just try it I think you will love it!!!!
Bruzz Boe he is a better speller than you though. Equilibrium restored.
Played one with a. Guy using a blackstar tube amp we both played strats and SRV style heavy blues. The mustang lacked nothing. The presets SUCK! Make your own. The supersonic setting was best for heavy blues and the fender blackface was great for clean precise rythym work. Plenty of gain for metal but the twin and head have the bottom. I like petrucci and lamb of god so l know metal. A huge point for these amps is how QUIET they are on high gain,
can you for us,
record it using the DIRECT OUT or the headphone jack like if you were to silent record???
Yes you can record that way. Nothing beats the sound of a speaker mic'd up though!
I got question, hope you'll response....I'am choosing modeling amp and I'm gonna decide between Mustang III or Line6 Spider IV...My question is If is this fender able to give me modern high volume sounds, because I'll surely need them and that's what Line6 gives me clearly, but I still love all these classy Fender sounds wich is this amp able to make....but I dont trust this so much about modern (alternative rock/metal) noise in downtuned dropped tunings....What do you think about it?Thanks Matt
