Fender Mustang I (V.2) Amp Description/Review 

my pleasure. Glad it is of some use. Cheers.

Glad you like the amp ! I like mine quite a bit too. If you don't have the Fender Fuse software for it, you can find on the RU-vid Channel called " In the Blues". The guy named Shane , who's channel it is, has the software link posted for free, if you look for the Mustang vids in his You Tube video library.

welcome to the wonderful world of guitar playing my friend learn the major chords first then from there its a breeze😉

Same here. 55. living room player. Can't read music, just mucking around by ear - making stuff up as I go and after 20 yrs with a basic $15 amp with no effects, got this one used 2 days ago for $80- now almost blinded by choice and trying not to get overwhelmed. Now i can get that bluesy tone with delay and some echo/reverb which I dreamed of all these years.

To reset amp to factory settings, hold exit while turning amp on

how are you liking your Mustang after a year of having it ?

@@jimdep6542 I have not really run it much. I buy, recondition and sell a lot of gear and guitars. Have my favorites 😉

That's pretty fortunate that you have access to a lot of gear. How'd your Les Paul do with the Mustang ?

@@jimdep6542 I am not wealthy by material means, I just enjoy buying old gear and guitars and restoring. I have to admit that the Mustang is a versatile and efficient as well as cost effective way to get nice replications of tones that would otherwise be costly

Perhaps my only criticism would be no output to a mixer for monitors, but overall a solid piece. Unless I haven't found it.

How do you do it with remuda?

Check out Shane from intheblues.com for a ton of info on the Mustang amp, FUSE, and presets

My understanding of gain is that it's the power going through your amp. It is not another volume control. Too much gain and the overall sound distorts. Not enough, and you don't get the full sound. I suggest turning the gain up until distortion starts and then back it off a little.

Fender says it's discontinued Fuse.

@@jwf2125 Fender stopped posting the FUSE download on their website, but the downloadable software still works. It doesn't rely on the internet to work.

@@jwf2125 They discontinued hosting on their website but it still works,. There's plenty of other's who are making it available to download for free and it doesn't need the internet to work.

@@jwf2125 Fender discontinued hosting it, but it still works great.

@@jwf2125 it still works

Not sure exactly what you mean. I think pretty much every guitar will have some static/buzz through an amp at high gain, even one with humbuckers. In a bedroom you have lots of volume/gain room with this Fender but if you need to play in a large venue requiring high gain and volume, you might want a more high end amp. Just my 2 cents. Cheers.

What did you ever find out about your question ? Was it because the headphones were plugged in ? Thanks in advance .

@@kimthompson5871 I never did solve it. The earphones wasn't the problem. The amp simply doesn't output anything you pump in through the aux input.

@@bill9989 I’ve had mine a year and haven’t used it much because I have quite a few others . Sucks to find out you can’t record from auxiliary like apps on your phone

Maybe just play n record the backing track in Audacity directly? N listen to the backing track from ur computer while playing n recording.

I know this is two years late but you could use a long male to male 3.5 mm cable and connect from amp headphone jack to your microphone jack on your computer and then connect your headphones to the headphone jack on your computer. That way you would get the aux input from you amp as well as guitar to your computer for recording and would be able to hear it through your computers headphone jack. But I don't know if that would cause a delay. Alternatively, you can buy a simple headphone jack splitter that you can connect to the headphone out on your amp. Then plug your headphones in the the splitter as well as connect a male to male 3.5 mm cable from the splitter to your microphone jack on your computer. That should work to record both output from your amp aux and guitar on your computer. BEST WAY: Another approach which is probably the best is to use an audio interface connected to your computer. With an audio interface you can even connect your guitar directly to the interface (so no amp needed), record the guitar and add filters to the guitar sounds. ALSO, you can just connect a male 3.5 mm to male 1/4" cable from your headphone jack on the amp to the 1/4" jack on the audio interface and then use the headphone jack on the audio interface to listen to the guitar and amp aux music usually with any delay whatsoever. This is probably the best way to go. The audio interface connect to your computer through usb so your can record whatever comes through the interface.

this light turns red or green based on which footswitch preset is active.

@@seniorbeginnerguitar ah, right. Thanks for that. So, if no foot switch is connected, then red/green will show as the factory defaults?

I do not; the only way I see is through the software program that I am told is no longer supported.

the model in the video is 20W of output. Fender also make many more models with various outputs. Cheers and thanks for watching.

can't decide if you are kidding or not; I had thought them intuitive but perhaps not!

@@seniorbeginnerguitar No, I'm not kidding, there are beginners you know. And my other problem is I can't get a "dry" sound, there is too much sustain, each note goes on and on. If you could help me, I'd be most happy! Thanks for answering my first post. Freddy from South-West France, deep in the country.

@@freddyp4641 Ok FP - I too am a relative beginner as I started playing in retirement. Briefly, the 4 knobs left of the Master are all inactive when a Preset is selected (factory presets are amber). To activate one of the 4 programmable knobs, just turn any one of them and you now have your own sound which can be saved (if you wish). Turning up Volume makes the sound louder while increasing Gain increases the tone and distortion, if applicable. The Master is always active and will raise or lower the level of the respective Preset settings. I don't know what a "dry" sound is, but you can achieve a "clean" sound by pressing the TAP button at the same time as the power ON. In this configuration your presets will no longer work. To get your presets back, simply turn the amp off and then back on. Hope this helps! GP

You can also use volume knob on guitar to clean up sound that is dirty or distorted

thanks for your question, James. I am not really a pedals user (although I have a couple); this little amp delivers all the varied sounds that I feel I need. Cheers.

@@seniorbeginnerguitar have you tried the Remuda app? Let's you access the features from your device Cheers

unfortunately no. Cheers.

Can get Fuse unofficially: www.hunterharp.com/fender-drops-support-for-fender-fuse-meaning-the-mustang-i-v/ Can also use Fender Remuda for Android: fender-mustang-amps-and-fuse.fandom.com/wiki/Remuda_App_for_Android

mis disculpas; ¡la próxima vez quizás!

You don't need a computer.

@@jimdep6542 yeah but to download the custom presets you do.....and im not going to lie this thing confuses me . Can you program a custom preset under any red or green lights? And orange is just the preset ones you cant save over?

@@screamingwarhog I can't remember off the top of my head which 2 light banks of presets you can customize and save. I'll have to check the manual. Regarding downloaded presets that other people have made, I don't use those only because I make my own depending on what guitar I'm using, For example , if someone creates a preset on a guitar with certain types of pickups, they'll sound different on mine....so I just make mine by tonematching what sounds best to me ears for that particular song or tone I'm going after.
