Fender Amp Mustang I V2 Combo

Product Information

The ‘V.2’ indicates that the Mustang series has had an upgrade which simply means there are more amp choices to choose from when setting your tone. There are five additional amps, five additional stompboxes and pitch shifting.

Despite having sturdy quality, the amp doesn’t feel too heavy. Rather it feels quite well made. The amp is smaller in size, therefore, easy to move around. Also, there is less chance of serious damage in the case of dropping it. The USB cable adds to the flexibility. Overall, it is quite a reliable model in terms of quality. The controls on the Mustang are knob-driven and on top of the amp. It has a single knob each for Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, and Master. The Preset Select has a preset that you can dial through, and some effects are under master headings called Modulation Select and Delay/Reverb Select. The amp models light up individual LEDs for each model type. The control panel features a Treble knob to control the high frequencies and a bass knob to control the lows, but there is no Middle knob to control over the mid-range. It may seem a bit confusing at first. However, you will get used to it in no time.Users claim the amp does a great job at what it intends to do. However, they insist the amp needs some tweaking via the FUSE software. Perfect for guitarists who play a wide variety of genres, the amp can go from crunchy overdrive to heavily distorted with ease.

The last feature we must discuss is the ability to connect an optional 1-Button Footswitch. You can use this FootSwitch to swap between two chosen presets. This is very common with these smaller practice amps. The same criticism is often levied at the Line 6 Spider range. All the time and effort goes into cramming it full of features, but not bothering to make the speaker actually sound adequate. This is usually the reason why I tell people to save a little longer and buy a Boss Katana 50, which has a ton of features and houses a decent 12″ speaker. The USB connection and Fender's own FUSE software lets you personalise the presets to the exact style you're looking for.If you want to be a serious musician, you need to have the right equipment. Cheap and second-rated gear can affect and downgrade the quality and impact of your sound. For a guitarist, having the best guitar amp is part of having the right equipment. You want one that produces crisp, clear sound and one that offers tons of good options. Throw at an affordable price, and you get a steal!
