Thanks for pairing different guitars with different presets, really shows how diverse the amp can be... I am looking to buy this amp for my son, and this has been incredibly helpful👍👍
This is exactly what I wanted to know. All preset tones, right out of the box, stock.. I don't need complete polished hi res demo tracks to hear freaking presets. twenty or so of which are pretty great, 6 of which are passable and 70 or so I can totally do without, but I wanted to hear them! Thanks!
I thought it as thoughtfulness as I’m sure manny patches where created with different guitars and he likely tried to a degree to find the best guitar for his favorite tones since he’s a thoughtful guy,.. usually ,.. or something like that. You do hopefully know that manny guitars where used to program this digital beast after all,.. I thought you got great tones,.. especially through headphones which I believe means something. I personally believe that’s how it should be done to have a proper demo.
You know bro it would be neat if you can demo this or even better with a GT-200 & with some tube pedals in front of it with different settings and then just play with the volume before my amp gets here in like 4 days. lol 9/19/2020. For the purpose of doing it before I do and for fun, but mainly to see if it can sound just like a tube amp!? Oh and regarding the negative criticism,.. or opinions,.. it’s a well known fact that certain guitars sound better through certain amps and pickups ext. regardless of perspective, it’s a reality for us all but there is a general perspective of that idea of fact.
Excellent demo. Really enjoy your videos. I actually ended up buying a GT40, and I'm VERY happy with it. You've got it well miked, but it really is much better in person. Everybody has their preferences, and there are lots of trolls out there who've jumped on the bandwagon to bash this amp, but for those of you interested out there, go play one in person and check it our for yourself. You can customize the presets endlessly, and I have found that you can get virtually ANY kind of tone out of it that you want. If I had to buy it over, I would.
Yep, got one too. I really don't understand all the hate this amp getting. It's a solid state, 40 watt practice amp, not a stage rig. I bought this specifically because my main amp is just way too loud to play at home. It does sound significantly better in person... but it makes me laugh when people just the sound quality of anything from a youtube video played back over crappy laptop speakers.
Hi, I'm debating between the Fender Champion 40 versus this thing - is there any downside to a modelling amp? E.g. are they "fakes" of "real" amps? Sorry I am a newbie :-)
I think people need to stop beating on you about x y z and realise what you've done is show them the breadth of all tones programmed in with appropriate guitars and varied playing style. Nowhere else is that going to happen. They should teach about hindsight bias in schools. If you'd miked it up with God's telephone inside the arc and George Martin had breathed on the faders people would say "show with different guitars or a different preset". Keep doing your best you dude.
Personally, I quite like this amp. It’s a great amp for what it’s worth. It’s a small amp that can do countless things which are handy for a great sound.
Thank you for this Herculean effort, my friend! I know it took a ton of time and energy to do this. Because of your review, I ordered one of these last night. This guided tour was a great help in knowing what to expect when I get it cranked up. Kant wait to get it (pun intended)! Tschüss!
Factory presets are like the paints you get when you buy a palette. No one actually uses them as they come; you blend them, dilute them and whatnot until they are usable.
I'm freaking out... 16 minutes in and not one "that what she said" or other innuendos :) --- finished video.. I think it sounded great (IMO). By the way, nice video. I really enjoyed it.
The effects and reverbs are impressive. The variety of clean and dirty sounds is also good. The price is kind of steep compared to other brands lower-end models. But overall, a nice sounding amp.
Man, this demo is awesome as always and I really like how you done it! But about product itself I think, that this Line 6 Spider clone would be so cute gift for Glenn! ...and his hammer... :D
I've gotta agree with those suggesting you should have used one guitar. Consider this amps target demographic. Not likely to be people with a rack of 12x different guitars ready to go to get the most out of each preset are they?
My guitar teacher always said, "An extra set for every guitar you own just in case they all break at once." I think Henning has a problem if he also works to that rule.
Thanks for the video, I purchased the Vox valvetronix amp after watching your video and then tried it out for myself, love it. I have a mustang v1 amp that I bought after the first came out and the clean settings are great but the Distorted models were horrible. I will still try one out but I don't have high hopes. we shall see
Why arent these effects on my lt25?There are presets from the fender tone app that i want to use but they require effects my amp doesn't have!So annoying
You mentioned bluetooth connection to you phone. Does it also work with aniPad? Also with the USB does it have the capabilities to use the Fender software to create new patches?
Don't hate it til u try it.Today,i tried it with both a les paul and a strat. Very impressive. If this demo vid doesn't impress u,go try it out. Also,try it with the Ibanez tube screamer or,the Marshall Jackhammer. Sounded sweet with each pedal
i'm new to guitar and only have an acoustic right now, but i want to get an electric soon. i want an ibanez but i have no idea what amp to get without spending a shitload of money. i saw this amp on fender.com and its cheap but i have read a bunch of negative comments on it. does anybody have any suggestions?
I have this amp. Why mic it when u can plug it directly into recording software with a USB?? I do it all the time. It’s basically has an internal interface
I think these Small speakers doesn't move enough air to be captured by dynamic mics. Maybe you should have take a condenser mic. Anyway, for the demo, just use the USB out. I think this tiny fender will be used as a home studio solution most of the time.
the clean tones sounds good, I think I will use my overdrive pedals instead, I'm not playing gigs anymore and I need a good amp just for practice. I have a questions: this amp sound good with headphones and the aux connected (for backing tracks)?? great videos by the way
hi, please, can you tell me, i'm beguiner, ojective : get some knopfler sounds, like on money for nothing, calling elvis , but more lean like sultans of swing, do you think it's possible ? i should like to play some pink floyd, hendrix or stevie ray vaughan ... i play on a hohner £l75 thank you :)
I went to a local music store to buy an amp , and i found a fender mustang LT25 and a fender mustang GT40 , but the LT25 was bigger in size than the GT40 when i saw it . However when i went back home i saw that the LT25 should be bigger in size than the GT40 . Is it possible that i got scammed with a fake ?Pls help
the new amps look amazing ... there was finally a designer at hand :) but well the sound ... for me it is in the top 40 band practise amp region and for that purpose it is great ... or for guitar teachers ...
Imho most of the patches sounded decent. You mentioned the sound was more open from where you were sitting so would you consider this video a fair representation of the actual sound this amp puts out?
lndrld Cold VT40x for high gain... but it is in a higher price range. AV series.... only for cleans with chorus really. For the money, the GT40 is a nice little amp with a lot to offer!
Look forward to proper review (are you also reviewing the big brothers), one thing though playing jazz stuff on the Johnny Marr clean setting broke my heart....if thats one thing I want a Fender modelling amp to do is be able to do jangly smiths style stuff.
Nice video to show the overall tones you can get but the mic sound is really bad. Could you record a few samples with a room mic at about 1m distance? or if the headphone gives an higher fidelity sound why not record it directly? Anyway thanks for all your vids. Cheers
I love how it ranges from Clean Acoustics to Twangy Tele tones all the way to Full-on Metal with Classic Rock in the middle. Beautiful.
Thanks for pairing different guitars with different presets, really shows how diverse the amp can be... I am looking to buy this amp for my son, and this has been incredibly helpful👍👍
My mom just got this for me for my birthday and im hoping your son has loved it over the past year as much as i have for the past few hours

this guy just killed a sick solo on every single style. went from a gnarly rock solo to a nice clean blues solo so easily
Would probably have been better to use the same guitar for each otherwise introducing too many variables.......
Thought the same thing.

josephh49 I've ordered one so I would like to ask what you're views are on sound quality and can I crank it enough to annoy my wife lol
Just the sort of demo we buyers need Henning, every pre set and there were more than a few good ones! Thanks.

Ha! Your sentiments have been heavily echoed! The replier in question may have a valid point, but needs to learn some table manners.
Oh yes, and “hindsight bias”? Perfect!
isn't this the dude from the movie split?
Personally, I quite like this amp. It’s a great amp for what it’s worth. It’s a small amp that can do countless things which are handy for a great sound.
Fantastic as always. Really enjoy most of your videos.
I like it. Lots of versatility from what's pretty much a practice amp. Think I'll buy one.
Really nice presentation of the amp tones. Thank you!

Best review of this amp in the web
The '65 Twin sounded respectable, especially patch 22 with the chorus. Nice to see they named patch 102 after me!
thanks for making the video! I wanted to know what every tone sounded like and now I do. I think for the money this amp would be a lot of fun!
Still not replacing a tube amp and a pedal board, but come a long way. Got it's place. This guy's playing some sweet guitars, best part of the demo!
COOOOOOL! You're working with Fender! I can't beleive it!
The effects and reverbs are impressive. The variety of clean and dirty sounds is also good. The price is kind of steep compared to other brands lower-end models. But overall, a nice sounding amp.
The shimmer reverb is lovely as well.
Berumen!!!!! My man you have some excellent guitars. My #1 choice. They are addictive!
Thank you for this video. Nothing will really compare to playing it myself but now i got somewhat of an idea of the sound. thank you
I HAD a earlier version of this amp.it has every sound you could ever to imagine and easy to dial end and at such a cheap price
Very nice test ! Exactly what I was looking for !
Man, this demo is awesome as always and I really like how you done it! But about product itself I think, that this Line 6 Spider clone would be so cute gift for Glenn! ...and his hammer... :D
Gros boulot et la joie de t'entendre!!!!
I've gotta agree with those suggesting you should have used one guitar. Consider this amps target demographic. Not likely to be people with a rack of 12x different guitars ready to go to get the most out of each preset are they?
Which would be a better amp, the Fender Mustang Gt-40 or the Line 6 Spider V 60?
Wondering the same thing.
The 'Angelic Shimmer' 108
also seems to bring an angelic hiss with it.
It must take all of Henning's Patreon account just to pay for fresh guitar strings on his collection.
My guitar teacher always said, "An extra set for every guitar you own just in case they all break at once."
I think Henning has a problem if he also works to that rule.
But he has that D'Addario endorsement.
I don't think he had to pay for any strings in the last one or two years.
*it's difficult to capture this with mics.
Maybe using the tried and tested and simple Shure SM57 would've captured it better?
No it woudln't have... the cab is full range.
@@EytschPi42 thanks.
is this amp quiet enough for an apartment bedroom? i'm upgrading from the lt25 to this one and idk if 40 watts is too much
Would you recommend this to play metal/heavy distortion music through headphone?
Would that one be a good replacement/upgrade for my Marshall Cfx 30? Not liking the dirty channels of the Marshall so much ..
Thanks for the video, I purchased the Vox valvetronix amp after watching your video and then tried it out for myself, love it.

Rock-On!! Yes.
Thanks for the demo. Great job.
hey there! off topic question, how's called the video transition you're using between takes? thanks!
What pickups are in your green Fender with the maple neck? They ring out so nice
Great review - big THANKS

Killian McGeary boss katana is great
Well done sir!!!
This or the Yamaha THR10? Or the Blackstar ID Core 20W? Small physical size preferred
Thank you for doing this. What does it sound like using the USB? For me that will be the deal breaker with the GT40 and its small speakers.
Is there "Ambient wash" on Mastang gt 200? Because I tried finding it.
I have this amp. Why mic it when u can plug it directly into recording software with a USB?? I do it all the time. It’s basically has an internal interface
Because Mic > DI
with the new updates and all, does it still sound boxy? please help I am going to the shop buying it tomorrow.

Hello everybody, can anybody say Blackstar ID core v2 10w or Mustang GT40? of course tone versatility wise. Thanks
Great video. I hope you get Good Karma Points for this.
Imho most of the patches sounded decent. You mentioned the sound was more open from where you were sitting so would you consider this video a fair representation of the actual sound this amp puts out?
I kinda need a straight awser with this cause i cant find anything for it.but would this be able to be louder than the drummer and just sound good
Straight Answer: NO
The Telecaster always sounded better than all of those guitars...
Can all mustangs be connected to the app? Or is it a specific model?
Is this amp compatible with the Fender Fuse software?
Its sounds good to me.
Is this better than a champion 40? as for clean sound
It has a a global EQ that changes the sound dramatically...
Awesome demo.. Btw, I own a Mustang III V2, I could easily say non-fender amp models sound better in the earlier version !
when you're not talking you're telling us enough!
What brand is that LP style gold guitar?
Hi, great video! Which are the best presets for little wing by jimi hendrix? Thanks
thanks for going through all those. i woukd have gone with a royer R to mic it but great demo
Is this amp worth getting?
yep! i have em at college, their presets are really good, especially the Eric Johnson "EJ" setting
My amp is missing the two presets that have the shimmer effect. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Andrew Mote I don't personally have the amp but did you update it?
Can someone tell me what kind of guitars @ 4:51 & 5:11?
What's the song which is played with the 98th tone?
Is this better than a champion 40? as for clean
hello again Henning, i love those Berumen guitars you've been using. What are your thoughts on them in terms of play-ability, and tone?
christaphor longstreet both amazing, that's my thought!
what is that blue/green
guitar? i need one
This amp sound so sick but when I play it just doesn’t sound as good bc I’m so bad at the guitar
Hello!does this amp have a tuner?and is it suitable for a beginner guitarist?☺
Yes it has a tuner , and is a great buy for beginner, ( better than going down the road of keep buying bad amps) this 1 has it all 🤘

very good idea thanks
Would you suggest this amp?
Bei Preset 21 habe ich es nicht mehr ausgehalten...
whats you mic stand called?
OK Henning. Moment of truth. Do you prefer this, the VOX VT40X, or AV series?
lndrld Cold VT40x for high gain... but it is in a higher price range. AV series.... only for cleans with chorus really. For the money, the GT40 is a nice little amp with a lot to offer!

What is the name brand of those gorgeous les paul styles??
