I have the same amp and my most used preset is a simple '65 Princeton with spring reverb. Works well with HBs and single coil. I also like the Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb amp models, but the Princeton just sounds the most like the original version, to me. Learning how to use the Fuse software is worthwhile, though not that intuitive.

If you want "Mid" to go with your Treble and Bass eq settings on any amp, and you're not connected to the computer/Fuse, simply hold down the Exit button on the amp while you work the Treble knob. Can't do that on a real Princeton.

My Mustang II v.2 sounded fuller, with more bass and clarity, after I replaced the original speaker with a Celestion G12-75 (used). This speaker is similar to the one used in the Mustang III (also a Celestion), and is notable for its neutral character that lets the modeling stay accurate, rather than be colored by a speaker's character.
