Fender Mustang II Guitar Amplifier Demo: It Models Other Fender Combos, Non-Fender Combos With Ease

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The latest series of low-priced, solid state combos from Fender is a bit of a bigger deal than you might assume. For starters, the Fender Mustang Amplifier series offers more than just impressive volume for your dollar. These amps pack impressive digital modeling and DSP-driven effects sections - loaded with uncanny recreations of some far-pricier vintage Fender combos - not to mention the ability to edit presets via USB and the included Fender Fuze software.
We checked out the Fender Mustang II, the 1x12, forty-watt entry in the series.
Oh, and you may notice something different about this video. No, it's not Owen's dirtstache. . . He's had that all along, it's just now you can see it thanks to the fact that we're now producing video in 1280 by 720 HD*. You're welcome.
Just got one of these brand new from a garage sale for $20! Very pumped
About all its worth its a p.o.s.
SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve owned this amp for several years and this is by far the most concise yet enjoyable review I’ve seen. Learned some great tricks. Thank you, Owen. Liked and subbed.
Actually, this thing ROCKS. You just have to find the sound you want on the amp and then DI into the house board for the needed volume if you are gigging. I can't say enough about this little dude of an amp. It has some great clarity, variety, and endless effects tunability. Best is when you are writing songs, you can jump around and checkout hundreds of classic sounds instead of buying pedals and cords and plugs for 1000 bucks in effects. And, if you jump up to the IV or V models, you are def set for gigging in a cover band. Of course, if you are doing an all original deal, you will want to hunt down your own pedals and create "YOUR" sound, keeping your settings secret; but this little amp is awesome for the small time rocker who wants to song write and do some mild gigging.
I can't get mine to be clean help!!!!
+Rory Maher turn both effect dials all the way to the left/off and pick the amp you want .any of the Fender early models like the Twin Reverb with the volume, bass, treble all set at 5. Fool around with a bunch of dif amps
Jacob, as a direct result of your charm, wit, and third grade spelling ability, I will change my review! Post some pics or a vid of you and your bad ass band on stage! Tool...
FYI if you do the latest firmware update, you gain the ability to control mids with the knobs on the amp instead of having to use Fuse to edit mids.
Just hold exit and turn the treble knob. That adjusts the mids.
Good to know, Thanks.
Mids are definitely MIA..
I’ve had this amp for years, fun to play around with the settings
Just bought it!! Love it!!!
im about to buy my first guitar and amp. this video is 10 years old, do amps not get outdated?
I want to know this as well as I saw a V1 of this for $100
@@PakkiNakki Yeah, sort of, there are constantly new amp technologies being developed & implemented.
I think that there are plenty for sale on E-bay, if you really fell in love with it.
Old amps sound great.
@@MichaelPaumgardhen ok ty
I think he had a stroke at 3:34.
When I tell you I laughed
just recently bought a Gibson SG n thot I`d buy a new small practice amp, after much trying of various models from all different brands, Marshal, Fender, Vox,Orange, but finally decided on a Mustang 2, and what a great choice, the presets r awesome, the stuff online is very cool and easy to use to a coputer dumbo like me, n the fact that I`d also just baught a new laptop and the Mustang2 has a USB connection was amajor selling point for me, and I can safely say that after playing guitar for 32yrs Ive finally found an amp that I am instantly impressed with, so thats my thoughts on the Fender Mustang2 Amp, bloody good bit of kit for £120.
Wow, dudes making some killer solo faces at 3:35 in! Way to go man.
I think it's worth mentioning that the editing software on the computer gives you access to more amp models than you can access on the amp directly, and it also allows you to place four effects before the amp and four effects in the effects loop.
Is it just me or the amp looks King-Kong huge in the beginning
TheJofrica I have the amp, it's pretty big but not huge.
It's called perspective. He's sitting further back than the amp is.
It is called force perspective the same technique used to make the hobbits look small in the lord of the rings films
LOL 😆
Bought this amp two years ago it lasted two days been collecting dust ever since. I bought a BUGERA V22 and never looked back this amp kicks ASS.
The Bugera v22 also twice the price at $400.
I absolutely LOVE my Mustang II V1. Especially now that I have over 10k Fuse presets & models to edit/load
I paid $45 for mine 😎
that much? how do you do that? :o
Too bad it is now extinct
StealthyBeats is still available in some places
Is it really that big, or are you just that small?
Thats what she said
Great job. I’ve watched a bunch of different videos on this amp, and yours was the best. Straightforward. Informative. Killer guitar playing too. 10/10. THANKS 🙏 (I could never figure out how to get rid of the effects).
U're right. Just the guitar and amp. All the modeling sounds and digital effects are onboard the amp. Best thing to do is choose the guitar fst, then take that to the store to try it on diff amps that are within ur budget.
the american ninetees preset is good for soloing and it is also the best metal preset but you should edit the preset so that the reverb or delay is gone and fiddle around with the settings so you find that poweful tone
Hey, for 200 Bucks you seriously CANNOT complain. Yes, it's not a Tube Amp, but again, you CAN get some good Tones out of it and the Mustang II 40 watt is MORE than enough for home use.
I have this amp , this guy makes it really sound fantastic , I hope to that good , I love the amp .
Thanks Owen. You're on point, understandable and play like a master.
I down loaded all new presets and really nailed at 24 selections. Only two that stayed were one baseman and the supersonic. You can get some great patches over the internet.
Where at
I'm sure I'll get flayed alive for this but I bought one of these yesterday and DI'ing it through the external out produces nice sounds a hell of a lot more easily and frankly more satisfyingly than my Axe-FX II (which can take months to tweak a preset to my taste - with this it takes about three seconds). They're not perfect sounds of course, but yeah.
its perfect for that..i have one, and the best thing it does is everything between clean to rock (blues jazz and so on..)...just dont buy it as ur shred high gain amp..it works just fine with high gain, but its def not the best for that..but for everything else its just perfect for the price u cant go wrong
we were invited to play at an outdoor event and what they had for the guitar was this amp... I thought it would not cut it... but it did. at this event I played bass amy my buddy took on the guitar. he played a Gibson LP with high gain humbuckers (oversized poles - not sure what they are called) and just an OCD pedal, used mustly for lead as boost/slight overdrive in addition to the crunch coming from the amp. I usually dismiss digital effects and amp modeling because, well... its not the same... but this little guy is really impressive... especially when it comes to rolling back the volume.. which is when you realize the power of a Tube amp... but the mustang at this event handled it well... we were able to roll back the volume to around a 3 or 4 to get clean tone and still were loud enough and crisp to be heard. mind this was a small event, but in larger venues it should be just fine miked into a console. This is why I'm looking for more reviews and demos... I might just get one of these.
Nice Marty look. :)
I have one. It sounds really good. Since its digital the sounds are equalized really well so I coudn't believe it made those sounds either.
Great review! Thanks. Bought it and love it..
how do you eliminate an amp preset all together so I can use my effect pedal without interference from amp settings?
Should demo more clean sounds. This amp is in the mail for me, excitedddd.
Why use a mic and an audio interface at all? I have connected my guitar to mustang II guitar amp. Then, using an aux cable, i have connected the headphone output of my (fender) guitar amp to my laptop mic input!!! The laptop is running Audacity software. Please tell me what I'm missing compared to the setup you shown us....thanks!!
The mic up effect
Analog atmosphere. Otherwise you’re playing in a can.
I don't want any part of my inbuilt fender Mustang effects because I have my multi effects pedal processor so what am I suppose to
I was looking for a few months at some of the less expensive amps. Got this exact amp on the weekend finally. Liking it a lot so far. For me its the just what I wanted that I could afford. What I like is for those on a limited budget, its not only a decent volume but gives me a number of differing amp tones in a single amp.
***** Same reason I keep my old Banana tuner too ;-P
I wish this had been the first amp I ever bought instead of the 10th or so.
So happy I got one, it's all I use now.... I just tried the 60s thrift for teh first time tonight. How did I miss that one, great sound.
Anyone know whether you can download the new amp models introduced in the v2 to the v1? I;ve been offered an awesome deal on a V1 mustang II but would like to have access to those new V2 amps and effects.
Go with the Roland. the sound cannot be beat. It reproduces truth. Its sound is the best out of all solid state practice amps.
Got one on the way, can't wait to play it with my Classic 70s
great review and love the playing!
hey. i try to connect my ME70 pedal effect on it but the sound is not good. is there a way i can connect it and get a good sound??? plzzzzzz answer fast :/
I bought one today and it was 110 watts for only $120
Where/how do you plug in the foot control? I was sold the MS4 to go with this amp but I can't make it work.
Yeah the four button footswitch only works with the mustang III and onwards. There is a footswitch for mustang 1 and 2 but it only has 1 button :)
Would have been helpful to show the settings from the top
Is there any way to use this amp or fender Fuse in a Daw like Reaper.. The amp sounds of course much better than my Guitar rig plugin..
Sweet playing. Good musicianship.
you can adjust sag on mustang 2 when you use the fuse software
Can any one tell me how to add a bit more reverb to TWIN REVERB and save it please?
so whats the difference between mustang II and mustang II v2?
Not allowed too, he can be fined by Fender. Many companies do the same, as long as they don't say the name they are fine. PRS has an amp called MDT that stands for Marshall Dumble Tweed but those names are not used in the actual description of the amp or name or they could be sued by Marshall, Dumble amps, and Fender for using their tweed trademark.
What should the master volume control be set to in relation to the volume control as a guide to getting good sound? Thanks
volume at 10 master at whatever loudness is needed
What do the all the colors mean? (Red, orange, and green)
do you have to use one of the presets? or is there a clean slate type thing where you can customize it the way you like
How to switch between clean and crunch/distorted tones "on the fly" when playing ? Seems to me that once you select a tone, you are stuck with it for the duration. Is that correct ?
+PCollen YT I believe this can be accomplished with a footswitch.
fender makes a pedal to switch through presets. you can only choose two to switch between though
Some help would be fantastic. I have a les paul, with james hetfield pickups. I also have the mustang I. Very similar. But, no matter what setting I have it on, it won't produce that hetfield metallica sound. What am I missing? Is the usb thing possibly my salvation? How does tbe usb thing work. Thanks
the wrong amp
you need a metal amp
+Corey Herrington You can get some metallica presets online!
@@alex_the_fiction ok your not gonna get mettalica tone from this amp just because you have hetfield pickups . Lol
@@buffdaddy2032 I never mentioned pickups, the OP did.
Is this amp better than the Fender Champion 40?
i just got this amp .and i'm having trouble. if i mess with settings and then save it lets say while it's under green it won't be there under green when i go back under it :/
sa existe le son clair sur mustang 2 ?
How many watts of this amp ? I'm confuse
Get this one. I got it 2 days ago and could easily get a tone of use out of it. Also it let's you record stuff easily ( usb interface etc. ).
@gearwire can you give me the exact settings for the tone you had in the beggining with hey joe.
Blue??? (Green). 4:24
Anyone know how I can get a sweet child o mine tone on this
Could one plug a guitar via a preamp type pedal or device into the auxiliary input of this amp in order to just use the combo as a speaker cabinet?
You can only edit the red and green presets; the orange presets can only be overwritten with the fender fuse computer software.
Can u plug multiple things into it, like mic and guitar
amazing Amp
@gearwire hi, i lost my mustang disc with all the software and i want to download the ikmultimedia amplitube and i need the disc? anyone got any ideas on what i can do?
is this amp good for blues + soft rock ?
How to swich off all effects ?
Can we put music by connecting our phone ?
Yes!
You can also control the mids by holding exit and turning the treble knob if you didn't know that. You have to have the latest firmware update, though.
a great amp but i,m now getting a problem with the amp.i dont know what is causing it but i can be playing and the amp just stops working,no sound,but all the lights are on.if i turn a selection control nothing happens,its like as if the amp has crashed.
Great review. Very detailed. Thanks.
Hey anyway to exit the presets tho?
Got this for my b day
same
Same here
Same
Same
same
Anyone know if on fuse you can add pitch shift/octave effects???
I like it at 7:28 when someone's PacMan game overloads the microphone
how d ou reset all the prsets back to factory?
Yes, I have one, its pretty good, I love it :)
so you're saying that it saves my setting over the green setting that was there before ?
Plzz tell me which guitar is that.. I can play Acoustic very well n im in search of a good guitar n amp In near about $450
that's a jazzmaster my friend, squires makes a good affordable jazzmaster around that price.
Thanx a lot Brother...
What were you playing from 06:18 to 06:36 ???
So what setting would you put this amp on if you played with a multi effect pedal? Is there just a "Clean" channel?
I Have to use this amp all The time at school and When I get bored I use the Schools old Pedals and Stuff.. So What I Do i Switch this Amp to 57' Delux and get rid of all Dley/reverb and its As clean as a Whistle :D
coolconnor900 Thanks Dude!
Great video. For the '57 Bassman did you change any settings or is that the stock preset?
can u play this with the 4 button footswitch?
4:56 what's this song I want to learn it
That was a song???? Huh..never would've guessed it.
this amp looks awesome i might buy it
this or Roland Cube 40xl? please i need advice
that sounds class!!
i play more rock guitars
however this amp for practice fender are pure class!!
How can I hook this amp up to my pc for recording? Is it done thru the usb on the panel or do I need to buy something to go between? Thanks for the great demo!
Buen vídeo ,yo tengo un fender mustang ii y me a ido muy bien.
whats the american 90's preset amp imulating
Mine just quit working.... No sound at all. Freezes up.
Is there a chorus effect included in the amp?
yes chorus and deep chorus.
Does this amp have fuzz?
Can you cut our all of the distortion and just get a good clean amplifier sound on the Amp. I don't alike all the distortion , it sounds like a broken amp.
If you press the TAP button when turning on the amp, all the simulation and effects will turn off.
what is the best set up for a reggae sound?
I'm with you. I haven't used the Fuse Software yet.
How do you turn off the effects on the mustang 2
It want turn off
Michael Case you can't
Michael Case turn basically the mod and del/rev knob to off, also maybe turn the gain all the way down
Use fender fuse
hold the "tab" button while turning on the amp (clean mode)
this or the Marshall mg30cfx????? i can't decide :(
Cool review hipster guy, thanx.
i got some really cool tones out of the super sonic setting with like a half second delay
Yes, but you have to play around for a LONG time with the settings. I have experience from fender g dec 30 connected to boss me25, and it was really hard to get a good distortion out of it. But i recommend that you stick with this amps distortions, since it has pretty good ones in it. :)
how to get rid of that buzz noisy sound
Shazol Hussain a guitar with humbucker pickups will have no noise. Single coil pickups will have that noise
