I love my mustang one!The red setting on the '90s metal setting is a wickedly cool tone!

I like the Mustang amps too. But to me, this says it's time to switch to a good modeling pedal and a full range speaker. The modeling pedal can be updated without discarding the perfectly usable power amp and speaker. I use a Zoom MS-50G and a range of speakers (these days a Bose Soundlink Mini for acoustic jams which by the way fits in my guitar case accessory compartment and a Yamaha DBR10). Another nice thing is going to a gig where I'm hired to play guitar and just plugging into their PA or keyboard amplification and being able to walk in with just a guitar case (instead of lugging an amp).

Mustang III v2 here, also. Love it. I built this pedalboard for it. Works great and requires no outlet power.

Yeah, the MIII 12" speaker with open back is the way to go. I hear that swapping it out with an Eminence Swamp Thang makes it even better!

You folks are now making me consider the higher level models. But alas, here in Canada even the I is $169, this one was used for $129. I think I am a bit short of cash to move any higher at this time. Oh, one question. Can you avoid the Fuse software entirely with the III? ie, can you access the compressor etc? |

The expression pedal does volume plus any other parameter including wah.

So is there a wah model in the amp? ie...in my Fender Mustang I?

Davis, to answer your question, or a part of it at least.
Yes you can tweak settings on the fly with the Mustang III, no need to use the Fuse software and laptop/computer connection. I had Mustang 1 originally but decided III was a better option, 12" speaker, open back, it came with two button footswitch, think it cost me $275 out the door when I got mine. Really like having it, and it is very versatile. Save, and continue saving up, keep an eye out for a used one. First time you get your hands on a Mustang III you will want to trade in Mustang 1. Trust me on this.

There's an auto-wah effect in my Mustang II, so I would think it's pretty likely.

I am in the camp which prefers the turn the knobs approach but I have had some nice sounds come out of a III when tried it out. Problem for me was even tweaking using just the controls with the led display proved to be beyond my capacity. If you are like me and want simple as possible check out the new Orange crush series.

What I do is peruse the various patches people have made from within the Fuse interface, then I download the ones that sound kind of interesting from their user ratings....and store them on my drive in the Fuse folder. Then, since my computer is in a different room from my studio, every few days I bring the amp into my computer room, and hook it up and audition them. The ones I like I keep on the amp, then go try them out in the music room.
A bit of a hassle, until I get a notebook some day. But its fun, like shopping for presents. Most stuff with a high user rating sounds really good. |

I bought a Mustang I as a practice amp... it's got such nice effects I now play thru the Mustang (effects) > Mixer > Fishman Soloamp. No more pedals (except for a looper).
Durable, portable, flexible, fun... and with GC discount I paid only $79.

I have a Mustang III and really like it! Easy to use, a bunch of decent effects that you can change easily on the fly and save. I play my acoustic through it and pick a couple of clean tones and it does all that I need, add a little reverb and nirvana. I also have a Fender Supersonic 22, and can get all my favorite tones from the SS22 on the Mustang with a little tweaking. Best thing since sliced bread !
