Fender Amp Mustang I V2 Combo

Product Information

This amp tends to sound great for blues or rock styles but didn’t really suit high gain styles such as Metal. For the vast number of guitarists who jam at home and take on a few gigs here and there, the Mustang III ticks several boxes, and frankly, for its affordability alone, it’s an excellent choice.

Most beginners will want to just plug-and-play because of the lack of experience in dialing in tones, so this many options is a major pro of the Fender Mustang. It has allowed my students to not only start out with a great basic tone but allowed them to learn about different effects and learn to tweak their tone to their liking. Presets - Each of the eight amp models we have listed come with three presets with wonderful names such as 'Black Hole Vibe', 'Chimey Deluxe' and, for all you Beatles fans out there, 'British Invasion'.

The modelling technology used gives you access to an awesome array of different sounds, including models of some classic amplifiers such as the 57 Fender Deluxe, 59 Fender Bassman and even one that sounds remarkably like a Vox AC30! Fender are certainly well known for their guitars, but they also make some pretty fantastic amplifiers too.

This could be confusing or even overwhelming for a beginner, and maybe even a bit too much for a more experienced player. So it’s completely possible to fill the entire amp with just ’65 Princeton Reverb presets if you wanted to. For example, if you wanted to tweak a setting on an effect, the only way you can know what the current setting is before you change it is to use the software. Some users reckon you can get pretty much any sound you are looking for once you are hooked up to your computer! Even though Fender no longer supports the FUSE software, there are ways around this, and once competitors see a gap in the market, who knows what could come next.
