Atheist Thor That’s awesome, thanks so much for those kind words. That’s what I’m after… Just practical ways to become a better guitarist, even if you own basic gear (like the Taylor GS mini I play… Pretty much an entry-level acoustic, but it sounds great in all of this set up). Thanks so much for your support!
Since Fender discontinued Fender Fuse support for V1 and V2 Mustangs, they can be had very cheap used and they are an excellent practice/recording amp as demonstrated here. I can see them phasing out tech support for an old product, but removing the Fuse Community and the preset sharing was a real jerk move.
Have you tried connecting your Mustang to the new remuda app ? If you did, lemme know. I'm about to buy some cable to try it out. Also, there is a file with all the presets and community content up to 2017 on the fender fuse wikia and reddit forum !

Lorenzo Magro I’m not sure whether the Fender Tone 3.0 app on iPad will control that amplifier, but I believe they have a desktop version that you connect via USB. In other words, I think the GTX and GT series of amplifiers are the only ones that use the iPad or iPhone app.
Hi Steve -- I love your channel and appreciate the time you put into the videos. Just subscribed. I am hoping to have a setup where I only use my iPad, with a Midi keyboard (for additional drums), and hooked up with my guitar. Are you able to send this setup to a live application? How would you send the output to a PA or an amp? Of course, I know I could achieve this with a Macbook Pro, but just wondering if it's absolutely necessary. Thank you and keep it up!
I was trying to record and one thing that bothers me compare to a guitar plugged straight in an recordong interface is that the sound comes out of the amp. So, I have my headphones on (connected to the computer) and I plug another set of headphones in the amp so no sound comes out of the amp speaker. Is this the best way of doing it? Another thing is when I record with an acoustic guitar The sound comes back in the guitar so I do the same trick but for some reason I crank my guitat volume way up, amp volume to the max and still, it barely picks up my guitar sound. That's when I put a headphone set in the amp to stop sound to come put the amp. What's the real way of doing this?
Hey, I don’t know that I can help with your second question. I’m not sure I understand what’s going on there with the acoustic guitar. But to your first point, yes, I plug-in an extra set of headphones into the top of the amplifier’s headphone output jack, which silences the amp, and I don’t even wear those. They just kill the speaker
Hi Steve, Brilliant channel you have here, clear, concise and very articulate. I chose the Gtx100 over the Katana and that is down to you sir, a friend has the Katana and I'm so glad I listened and subscribed to you. Thank you. The Smiths intro tune is spot on BTW, you should definitely upload that one to Fender Tone.
Wow, that's so cool Nicholas! Really appreciate the kind words, and glad it was helpful. And check out "Clean Dream" in the Tone app. That's the same one ... sounds like Johnny Marr to me ;-)
GarageBand recognizes that my GTX is connected to my Mac and is set as the Input device, but I cannot hear any sound at all and recording anything is silent. I have tries changing the output from the speakers to my headphones and back, and nothing. No clue what I'm doing wrong.
I’m sorry about the troubles. When you play music into the amplifier that is connected to garageband via USB, do you see any lights or meters to indicate that it is receiving sound? If so, it should record some thing unless your input levels are down or something similar. Sometimes Everything records fine but you can’t hear it because you have the “monitor” button turned off. A great channel that I recommend is Pete Johns. He has literally hundreds of videos on this kind of stuff. Hopefully that will help!
You got the official Apple adapter (not a knock off brand)? When I run the USB out of both my Mustang amps (V2 i, and the GTX50) into the Apple adapter and into my iPad, all my apps recognize the amp (you might have to click around to turn on monitoring or switch from the mic input to the line 1 (or line 1+2 for stereo) input).
Steve thank you for all the content about gtx100. I purchased a set of AT M40x headphones and the sound from the amps headphone 1/8 output doesnt sound good to me. I am wondering if i connect my amp to a computer and use the headphones how it will do. Do you ever use headphones with your GTX100? If so, what type and what method? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tom Machete Hey Tom, so glad you like the content! And I’ve always been weaker on the technical side than I am just playing guitar, so I hope some others will chime in. But I do think headphones in general just never sound that great plugged right into an amp. That’s why the new boss Waza headphones are so hyped up, because they help the whole thing so much more 3-D and big. But I am getting a really good sound by plugging my headphones into my iPad, which is connected to my amp via USB. So maybe the iPad (or a computer) will help make the sound better overall? Wish I was more help here! And thanks again for your support of my channel and for spreading the word!
Hey Steve, Well I dug my old Mustang v2 40 watt using my Macbook Pro and USB in and Garage Band and it sounded awful(like you said it would). I remember the days of using Fuse with my GDec 3 30 and Mixcraft on my PC. Great recording setup, of course Fender went and dropped support, downloading or any remnant of Fender Fuse. I was in Guitar Center on Friday when I picked up the GTX-50 and there was a huge stack of Mustang 20 watt v2(like 20 of them). I don't know how they can sell these with a straight face when they have abandoned support on one of the coolest software's they ever came up with. Next I might try Logic Pro or I have 3 IPad Pro's that I might get the Looper software you mentioned but I would need to buy that camera adaptor. I would rather use my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini. Anyhow a very cool demo. Very interesting. One cool thing I did break out was the Remuda app for my Android Tablet. That thing got a lot more stable. Very nice for I think $5, what a deal
Hi Steve I just see record guitar with usb video. It's great but i have a problem. I have done all the connections but my ipad says "this accessory requires too much power." What should I do ? Thank you.
Hi Fahri, thanks for writing, and glad the video is helpful. Can you list out all of your equipment? I run my guitar to my Mustang amp, then the usb of the amp out to a powered usb hub, then the hub to my Apple USB adapter (camera connection kit), and then that into my iPad or iPhone. But the usb hub needs to be powered, meaning… It plugs into the wall power jack did you actually get power. Without that I think I would experience the same issue you are. It could be that you are using a non-powered USB adapter that doesn’t plug into the wall and therefore the amp’s usb isn’t sending enough power to the iPad
@@fahriburakozben6839 Ahh, yes, It is most frequently used for multiple inputs, but it is also needed for certain devices, to actually provide enough power. I think that’s what you need.
It´s great you´re using a Mustang amp for this. I have an older one, the Mustang I V1. Bought it almost 10 years ago. It´s my only amp. Thanks for the video. Will see if that Block Waves program can be used under Windows. Thanks!
How about connecting the mustang gtx50 via its USB out to MacBook Pro? I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I was sold on the idea it would be plug n play. I have - updated firmware on the amp - updated to Mac OS Mojave - seen the amp recognised as an OUTPUT device when connected via Bluetooth to my computer - never seen the amp as an input device on my computer either via USB or Bluetooth, in fender tone, in Logic Pro, or in my system preferences > sound menu. Help!!!!
Hey, sorry for the troubles. I’m not sure what’s going on. Don’t worry about Bluetooth. When I plug my gtx50 amp into my MacBook via usb, then go to Garageband or other apps like that, it just shows up as an input option. I’ve never gone to system preferences. Just try garageband for now. Does that work?
Hi steve ! Can this amp (fender mustang 1 v2) record the dry signal as well so i can apply amp simulation on it in case I don't like the original tone? Thx for the video
I’m thinking through your question. Interesting one! If by “dry“ you mean just a flat preamp with no sort of real guitar amp simulation (like a fender twin) and with no cabinet, I think the answer is maybe. Maybe, because for the mustang V2 series, they stopped supporting Fender fuse software, which lets you access that preamp. So if you have an older computer that still has fuse on it, you could do that. Otherwise the new mustang GTX series does have a basic preamp used on the acoustic guitar patches. It’s basically a very clean signal, so yes you could plug your guitar into the amp, choose the preamp setting, and then run that out to GarageBand for example, where you could apply amplifiers there. Not sure if that makes sense. Otherwise, many times, I have used a Fender twin or deluxe model on my GTX amplifier but removed all effects and gain and just gotten to a really good clean “dry” signal, and then run that into my computer. Does that help?
@@SteveGuitar i got this idea from this video ruclips.net/video/5LGfxDgHl4I/видео.html in "revisiting method 1 with an amp simulator " chapter , you might like to check this one out , thank you so much for replying
Great video. I decided to get a GTX 100. Works good so far for a newbie like me, tons of tones to play with and help to learn. Just have a question, USB out doesn’t work with IOS GarageBand. Tried several cables but iPad and iPhone doesn’t recognize the Usb cable in anyway. Any advice? Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and glad you like the amp! Someone had similar troubles and found out that they only had a one-way USB cable or maybe it was a read only USB cable. I didn’t know that was possible, but once he got the right USB cable, everything just worked. Using the genuine Apple adapter is also critical, and the powered USB hub (powered meaning, you plug it into a wall) might help as well.
Amazing tutorial! I have a question. I want to plug in my guitar into the fender mustang app and from the app into a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. How do I do that? Because there’s no output channel on the amp from which I can plug it into the interface. Any idea?
Thanks! Glad you like it. In about your question, just curious… Why do you want to run the amplifier into the scarlet? You could just run the amp USB into a laptop and then also run the scarlet into a laptop. Otherwise, does the scarlet have a USB input? You could run the USB out of the amplifier into the scarlet if so. Otherwise you might need some adapters to try to make that work. One thing that has worked for me in the past is running the headphone output jack of the amplifier and then using a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) two 1/4 inch adapter, which basically turns a headphone output into a guitar size line that you could plug into the scarlet, but it becomes mono, not stereo. Hope that helps.
@@SteveGuitar I have purchased that adapter and i am hoping I will get good results. I have an interface so using the usb on the amp into the computer and the interface causes delay and driver issues. I wish the gt40 had a line out but hopefully the headphone jack can provide good quality.
@@GavBeats If you still need help, I suggest going to thegearpage.net and going to their digital and modeling forum, And then finding the mustang amplifier thread. There are real experts in there who should be able to help. There are some good Facebook groups as well
Sorry I'm just seeing this, but yes ... I have no latency. I have a 3-year-old macbook that's good but not the latest greatest. But I most always use my iPad (7th gen) or my iPhone 10. They're great and easy.
Hey, I'm just seeing this now, sorry! Check out this article for some good options: producerhive.com/buyer-guides/daw/free-garageband-alternatives/. Hope that helps!
Not sure I understand your question, but check out my other video from 2021 and an even easier way to capture clear audio (using the screen recording function of iOS)
sadly this only applies to older iPads that still have a 3.5mm TRS Audio connection serious omission for a 2020 Video as recent iPads past 2 years lack a Headset output jack , so the procedure described in the video will never work for users with newer iPads. Mustang GT/GTX can NOT work as USB Audio playback device
Actually, in this video, I’m using the latest generation (7th) iPad, just purchased in April 2020, and it works great. It does have the 3.5 mm audio jack, but that is only used for monitoring the sound (to headphones or powered speakers). To record guitar, the USB goes into the Apple adapter, which goes into the lightning port, not the iPad headphone jack. Also, if someone doesn’t have an iPad with a 3.5 mm jack, there are other options (I have another video about using a USB audio interface for monitoring the output using headphones, or you can plug a usb sound hub into the usb powered hub). Hope that helps!
elantric yes, good point. This demo shows how to only send audio from the amp to the iPad, iPhone, or computer. No sound returns through the usb to the amp. Thanks for the clarification.
Scott Rempel it totally works exactly the same way. I’m honestly not sure what the problem is that he was describing. I can run the USB out of any of the mustang amps, including the GTX 50, right into the iPad, using the camera connecting kit (USB adapter), and the iPad instantly recognizes the amplifier. It all works great.
i have the exact same amp that you are using in the vid nice but the video is totally unhelpfull since its soft ware shit i struggling with and this uses fucking garage band

Mustang GT/GTX can NOT work as USB Audio playback device
elantric yes, good point. This demo shows how to only send audio from the amp to the iPad, iPhone, or computer. No sound returns through the usb to the amp. Thanks for the clarification.
So Steve, given the comments by elantric, can you record that same way as you showed in this demo with your GTX50?
Scott Rempel it totally works exactly the same way. I’m honestly not sure what the problem is that he was describing. I can run the USB out of any of the mustang amps, including the GTX 50, right into the iPad, using the camera connecting kit (USB adapter), and the iPad instantly recognizes the amplifier. It all works great.
THE SMITHS????
i have the exact same amp that you are using in the vid nice but the video is totally unhelpfull since its soft ware shit i struggling with and this uses fucking garage band
