All thanks and glory to God, Father of Jesus, for everything you’ve given me that makes this channel possible! And heartfelt thanks to my wonderful wife and kids. Love you all! - Розваги
Great Video again! I love to play around with my GTX 50 and the GTX 7. Especially i fell in Love with the Looper!👍😁 You explain this so well, thank you for that.🙏
Thanks! Really appreciate your nice words. I hadn’t seen another video out there that experimented with every possible looper combination, just to see what would happen. 👍🎸
I actually just bought the 50 watt version and purchased the gtx 7 and I got the amp but have to wait a few more days for the pedal and I can't wait. I love looping and practicing lead. I'm excited to say the least lol
Love my GTX. I have spent thousands on awesome and rare pedals over the years, and they are great, but if I’m honest, the Mustang GTX sounds almost as good for a fraction of the price, and has far more effects than my board ever will.
I agree with that. A million features and music-making options and one single pedal and amp combo👍
I just got mine last week and I have to agree with you. I have spent $2000 on a single Marshall amp with one sound pretty much. I was never a fan of fender amps until this series came out.😊
Awesome Video, and loop. I'm a drummer but got this for my son with the GTX100 as his first larger amp a few years ago and never figured out its capabilities. Glad I watched, and kept my attention all the way through, that's tough lol!
Excellent demo. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!
I got the same type of switch with Fender Mustang GTX 100. This video has greatly helped me. Much appreciated for posting this video.
Great my friend got my Foot switch today Tried to figure out things . Was able to record and dub but couldn't erase if I made a mistake. So I searched in here and found your instructions which uncovered everything. Now I know all the functions thanks to you. You did a great job couldn't have been done better.... Thanks again ....
I've had my gtx50 for nearly 4 years now, and I just placed the order for my gtx7 last week. Im watching this to hopefully prepare me for when it gets here in a few days and also because im experiencing it vicariously through you to contain my excitement.
Steve, I want to express my gratitude for providing us with this educational tutorial! It's incredibly helpful!
Thank you so much for your time on compiling this, i got mine just yesterday and did not have the first clue where to start on pedal, this has taught me so much, and your explanations and presentation delivery was perfect, you sir have my huge appreciation, with warm regards from Wales UK👌👏🎸
Superb comprehensive coverage of the functions. So well structured and planned
Very kind of you! Glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it. Thanks 👍
Well done. Just got the gtx100 and have been playing on effect 6 with tremolo, delay and compressor with flange. Learning how to use the looper I’ve been having questions and you answered them all!😊
Excellent video Steve...Today I ordered my GTX 100 and your videos have been excellent and much appreciated. Enjoying your talent and have subscribed to your channel. Thanks so much.
thanks so much! The technology in these amps is amazing and it's so great to get so many sounds
Glad I watched, I can imagine myself too caught up with how to work the looper to even try changing settings mid dub. Thanks
Awesome! I’ve had the same set up for months and never knew about the tempo tap on the presets
Thanks so much. Absolutely excellent tutorial. I have one coming into today.
Thank you Steve for giving this educational tutorial for us! This helps a lot! I'm waiting for my Fender GTX amp to arrive as I type this.
Thank you so much for this great guide Steve!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I just got a GTX100, and am loving it. Tap tempo is a game changer! Top tip right there.
Very helpful, thank you! I'm waiting for my GTX100 to arrive, and this will really get me started.
Great video. I was shopping for another pedal for my GT100. I also have a Mustang IIIv2 and I've been sharing the pedal between the two amps, but now I've been leaving the III at the band rehearsal space and I'm about to start using the GT100 with another band. So I have to get it its own pedal. I didn't even know this existed, but I have to have it now.
Great vid. Has sold me on getting the gtx with pedal👍
Thanks for the clarifications - great video. Subscribed!!
Thanks for this great and useful video Steve.
.
I have the Katana MKII 50. I’ve watched countless vids with the comparison of the two. I’m still really fighting off the urge to spend the money with that rent to own.
It’s the looper and foot switch that really has my attention to but it within the week! Great vid and walk through!
Awesome thanks so much I need to watch this again and take notes😁
I just got the gtx 50 and bought the gtx 7 I'm loving the looping. I can create so much fun stuff. My wife is gonna hate it 😂😂😂
Great video. Fantastic explanation. Thanks Steve.
👍👍👍
Dude.... This was great!!!
Thorough and detailed, thanks much. I own a GTX50, but I still really wish it had a second bank down button instead of having to hold the bank up button to scroll through banks. I've overshot my destination patches a few times, and it takes too long, especially in a live situation. Or better yet, a midi in control would be nice.
Very good video! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Great video Steve. Had my GTX for a year and didn’t know about the tap tempo either!
Sweet, that’s great!
Great video Steve.
Thanks you so much, great explanations.
Hi, Thanks for your demos, really helpful. I would like to see how the pedal handles Setlists. If you can do a demo of that function that would be great.
Thank you, Bob.
Great video!
Great Info and presentation
Thank you so much!!!
It's almost midnight, and I'm watching this to see how I can use this to enhance the only song I know on guitar: Mary had a little lamb😂😂😂😂😂😂. I should probably be practicing some shit first. But seriously, this guy is just great. He put in all the work and preparation ahead of time to get this video. Really Fender should reward people like him with something. I'm going to buy this thing.
Great Stuff well done and detailed video 5 stars !
Awesome, thanks! Appreciate the kind words
GTX: Reeboot the Amp is a new reality, sheesh! (and I just ordered the GTX 100, YES!)
Great video. I wish I could use my midi foot switches with the GTX. I love my old Cyber Twin footswitch which has two beefy expression pedals.
Thanks Steve nice job! 👍
Thanks much! I appreciate you watching and sharing
Just ordered the GTX-50 and GTX-7 and am waiting for them. Thanks so much for this video, saved me hours of figuring this all out! Fender should hire you to teach!
Haha, thanks! Glad it’s helpful 👍
In the effects part I didn't understand how to create a different effect in that button, how did you do that? Put a distortion effect on 1, a wah on 2 and so on, five different effects, how do I do that? Do you have a video about that?
Hey Steve great video I’ll be sure to post a link to it from the site to
🙌
I'm about to buy the This amplifier
And I think For a wonderful journey
Thanks
Is there any way to change amps within a single patch? I play a few songs where I need to go from acoustic guitar simulation to heavy distortion electric and there is a slight delay switching from patch to patch vs. turning effects on/off in single patch. Would love the option to get both sounds in 1 patch.
Thank you! I got the GTX50 today and picked up the footswitch and this video helped me tremendously.
Have a sub!
Glad to hear it, William. Thanks! I’ve learned about some of these sort of hidden features over time, so it was good to put them all in one place in this video. Glad it helped!
The only thing I was missing from the video is how to toggle through your setlist using the pedal. Great video though thanks!
Hi Steve would you teach how to balance all the volumes of the presets? thanks man!👍
Hi Steve, great video guide! Do you know to use expression pedal, say Fender EXP-1, with GTX-7?
Good morning ! Can you plug the amp into a computer to put the patches in the order you want and save them on the computer? Thanks !
thank you for the video! I have a question, what happen with a pedal sound for instance PRO CO RAT if you conect it to the amplifier and its sound is combine with the GTX7 , you lost the RAT pedal sound quality? or do you enhance the sound? thank you!!!!
On the effects, can you set your own effects on the 5 pedals?
I can’t get my GTX-7 Effects mode to work. Do I need to program each preset with a specific effect then allow the footswitch to let me turn them on and off? I though the whole idea of the effects is that you can go to a given preset, click down to the Effects and add gain, reverb, delay, etc…as you want. So frustrating.
They really should have installed a "bank down" button and made the screen larger to show the name of the patch.
These presets I assume are Fenders in order? Is there any way to get the first 10 presets on ones I use all the time? Example: I use #5 and #158 in the same song and then a 3rd to a Lead solo.... I need to set these in the first 3 spots
i have my old amp fender mustang 1, would this still work with it?
Hi Steve, love your work. I have a question if you can help me out plz. How are patches balanced in gtx100. Is there a massive volume diffrance between patches for eg, if you go to 6 clean patch to 7 overdriven and then 8 atmoshpheric... is there a massive volume diffrance.
Or they sit at same volume. I understand some patch might be bit louder due to overdriven etc. but how dose switching patches goes as far as the loudness and tone is concerned. I own a katana 100mk2 with a footswitch but i have a problem with jt hence thinking of changing to gtx. Any thoughts...❤
Hey Steve I order a gtx 4 button foot switch for my fender mustang iii. My amp Version is 2.2. When I connect it to my amp only 2 stay lite up when I press any of the others buttons it has no effect. Do you have setup the 4 button foot switch???????
With this demo..can you add drum backing?
Will this foot controller work with an old Fender G--dec 30?...I have a chance to buy one of these as I am missing a foot controller for it..,,Thanks.
Curious - what are the effects/settings on your preset 001?
Will this footswitch work with fender mustang gt100? As i know they has the same firmware
Can you use a universal footswitch with a mustang gtx? If I could get a quick reply thank you!
18:00 That's interesting how if you hit the record again it seems to do nothing. Just keeps recording. I doubt if it works this way, but would be cool if you could record something like a 1-bar percussive pattern, then hit record again and record a 4-bar chord pattern, for example, and have it stretch the time of the total loop to 4 bars with the 1 bar percussion repeating for each of the 4 bars.
Really enjoying your videos Steve. I see you don't have the Fender EXP-1 pedal. I would love you to get one, do some research and practice and then put up a video like this one but about that pedal.
That would be great. I have ordered one so hopefully I’ll pick it up this week.
Hi, does this footswitch works with mustang LT50?
Excuse my ignorance because I've never owned one of these and I don't play very much or very well, but this box is creating all of the effects we're hearing? In other words can I plug my guitar into this and this into ANY amp and get (in general)the same sounds? Of course i know all amps are different, but if i run any amp on a clean channel with this pedal, I'll get roughly the same sounds and effects......
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect this pedal into a different amp like a yamaha THR?
How do you set an already made preset to the footswitch?
Very helpful tips! Thank you!!
My pleasure, Todd. I learned a few new things while researching this video too 👍
Question… can you use this with the regular GT100? Not the GTX.
Is it normal that the displays shows "u-4" on startup?
So there's no tap tempo function in Effects Mode?
For me the GTX-7 is "close but no cigar". Fender cheaped out by not putting a dedicated Bank Down button. As some have pointed out elsewhere having to hold the bank button down makes it impractical for quick changes. You can daisy chain the EXP-1 like on other foot-switches - which is nice - but there is no capacity to add a single up/down foot-switch. With the original Mustang series you could have 3 pedals attached all at once: the up/down (MS2), the 4 button controller (MS4), and the expression pedal (EXP-1). That gives much more overall control in live situations. I'd love to upgrade to one of the newer modelling amps but don't want to give up the ease of control that I have with the Mustang III V2.
You can make a setlist on hr amp or app and only have selected amps on a list instead of all
I have been kind of disappointed with my GTX because of preset sounds, I found a handful. I can’t explain but something sounds off. I love the sounds I get with my GT-5 and headphones. But the GTX sounds grainy and weak with GT-5.
But maybe I’m get this pedal and see if it helps me enjoy this amp.
Have just ordered a new Mustang GTX100 and your video has provided lots of info. Question; Can you create and store multiple Loops?
Awesome! And no, unfortunately, one limitation is that you can’t store or save loops. Once you turn the amp off, it’s gone forever. But I actually like that, because it just keeps things simple. I have a separate looper for storing full song creations when I want to
@@SteveGuitar i have the boss rc30 loop pedal, can i use this with the gtx100 in conjunction with the pedal that comes with the amp? If so, am i able to lay a clean tone loop down and play different internal fx tones as lead over the top of the clean tone without the clean tone changing to the effect im using as lead?
Hey Steve, really like your videos. Question: If I want to switch between sound 43 and sound 2, is there a quick way to do this? IE Pressing one button instead of holding down the bank button. Thx. Russ
Hey! I don’t remember where it is in the video but you can do that using “setlists” … where you make a group of any 5 presets. You can pick a set list, and then you’re one click away from going from tone 5 to 42 or 1 to 83. Search UA-cam for more vids on it … thanks!
Does anyone know if this compatible with Yamaha Thr30ii?
Nice Steve. Is this the gtx 50 amp fender mustang your using ? Works with the looper it’s inbuilt in the amp ??? The wifi and Bluetooth amp version right ?? It will do the looper with the foot switch ??? Will it? Please do advise me. Thanks
👍 Yes, I’ve got the GTX50. The 50 and 100 both have a looper inside that is controlled with the footswitch. And both have WiFi and Bluetooth.
Great video. Love the way you explain everything so clearly, Had my GTX100 for about a month now and really lovin it.. I do find by using my iPad/iPhone or PC i can visually see what is happening with each of the presets and the effects as i turn them on and off like you show in the video. the only thing that confuses me is when I save into setlists or favorites I cant understand why they aren't in the order I selected. lets say 1 thru 5 should now be coordinated with 1-5 on footswitch.. In other words say I selected #27 and added it to #4 in my set list. It is not #4 at footswitch. I have to go up the banks till I get to multiple banks till I reach #27. Am I doing something wrong? I find easier to select the setlist from my iPad and then can visually see and select the favorite from there and now it is in my footswitch automatically.. much quicker. I would hate to do this when performing live to go thru all those banks especially when my 5th selection in setlist is #86. Hope someone can answer that for me.. I will be giving a call to Fender's support group.. Again, thanks so much for time and effort that you out into the videos. much appreciated..
Awesome, thanks so much for the kind words, and glad it was helpful. And setlists and how they interact with the foot switch are some of my weakest points. I can’t understand lots of the scenarios you pose. I’ll report back if I figure some out. Hopefully others will chime in. Appreciate it! 👍
Is there a standby mode?
I only own a small Blackstar 10 watt amp that I rarely use, I don’t own anything Fender, and yet I am still here watching a video on a Fender foot switch. Maybe I need help.
🤣🤣🤣
Id love to get a vintage single pickup esquire someday but sadly, i think it may be a bit rich for my blood. I'll settle for an epiphone les paul Jared James Nichols signature.
Hi Steve, thank you so much, you videos have been very helpful over the last 2 weeks as I just got the GTX 100! I am having a terrible time finding information on how to daisy chain my GTX-7 with the EXP-1 to the GTX 100. I did this simply with the dual jacks on my footswitch that came with my old GT 100 - Do you have any advice? TYIA!
Hey, thanks for the nice words! Really appreciate that, and sorry, but the one thing that I have never done is use the expression pedal. Wish I had a video on that! Maybe someday?😎
@@SteveGuitar Well If I find out, i will be sure to come back here and share it with you! :D
Great job you have given us with this video. Many tricks that were necessary to know. I want to share with you that I have a Mustang GT200 and recently bought the GTX7 from him. Unfortunately the footswitch does not respond the same to me. I think it's because my amp isn't the GTX as is. Do you think I can do something about it to make it work for me as it is? I would greatly appreciate your help. All the best.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it, and unfortunately, I don’t know if all of these features work the same way with the GT series. I suppose you could ask on one of the online forums or Facebook groups. Or just keep experimenting. Wish I could help!
@@SteveGuitar Hello. Yes, I think you are right. I'll start trying to make movements to see if the footswitch gives me any response. I thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer me. Thank you very much for your videos, they are very helpful. Greetings.
@@SteveGuitar I have a GT100 and was thinking of getting the GTX-7 for it since it says it's compatible. But it does say you have to update the firmware for it to work correctly. Are you on the latest version?
What if I’m performing live… and I love (for example) 01 for a [clean] verse, and patch 42 is a distorted tone that’s perfect for the Chorus. I don’t have the time in a split second to bank up. Are there any ways to make this situation work? Can you reorder the patches? It would be cool to know this amp/pedal could be geared towards specific songs/ performances before ordering it all ! Great informative video here
Hey! I don’t remember where it is in the video but you can do that using “setlists” … where you make a group of any 5 presets. You can pick a set list, and then you’re one click away from going from tone 5 to 42 or 1 to 83. Search UA-cam for more vids on it … thanks!
Hi! And how can we pick the setlist? I make one but I don’t know how to send it to the footswitch
Just got my gtx-7 and the looper has some sort of delay at the end of it and doesn't loop cleanly. Did you run into this at all?
No, but one question and one tip. Question: are you sure you are starting and ending your loops on the one count? Being as precise as possible matters a lot. Tip: unplug the pedal cable from the pedal and the amplifier and then plug it back in. That seems to be like a reset function for some people. It helped me once. Maybe there’s something going on
Is anyone can say it could work on Super Champ X2?
I know your a busy man. Is it possible to put a looper drum pedal through the front of the amp and record directly to the fender loop pedal. ???
Like this? ua-cam.com/video/gBvTzLDiX6Q/v-deo.htmlsi=KvuPArJBwNhlyEXE
Will this work with an lt25 fender mustang amp??
I’ve got the same question…
Pls someone answer this question. Can you have preset 1 on switch one and let’s say preset 35 on switch two. Or can you only bank
If you use playlists, yes. You can grab any five presets from anywhere and put them in a play list, and when you pull up the playlist on the amplifier, the foot switch controls those five.
Can you make it so you can tap the Tempo for delays on the footswitch? Or can you only change the delay Tempo by Tapping the button on the Amp?
(it would be useful to be able to adjust the tempo mid-song if others in the band are rushing/dragging)
Yes, you can. It’s one of the secret functions that I talk about somewhere in here
@@SteveGuitar great! I'll re-watch - I knew I'd heard you could before I got my Amp, but couldn't find it anywhere else. It must have been in this video!
Will this work with the fender LT25?
And , will it work with the LT40S? - Tried the MS4 pedal so far and it doesn’t work . Musicians Friend store says this pedal will- fingers are crossed!
is it a good loud amp for doing gigs?
I have the GTX50 which is plenty loud for my use. I have seen opinions that the GTX100 has a significantly better speaker (in addition to twice the power). Just passing on someone's opinion. Of course the GTX100 cabinet is a little bigger so that would probably affect the tone somewhat.
Does it matter what guitar you use with all the tonal options this has?
No however fender stratocaster have a very unique sound that most other guitars don't do, there are exceptions though. Sounds like you after that Strat tone
Dub Play Dub Play dub play and so on and the last dub wil always be erased after undo! 😁Great work Btw!
