I'm taking my Mustang III back tomorrow, the fizz is horrible, especially on the low E. Even my wife, who never notices ANY difference in audio or video quality noticed the fizz in this amp that WASN'T present in my shitty Crate practice amp. Pretty bad when an old, $50 5w amp sounds better than this $300 100w piece of Chinese shit.
Thanks a million for posting this. Even though the use of two different sources is a legitimate criticism, the test results are dramatic enough to be compelling for me. You pay your money and take your choice: Fender won't be getting my money for a mustang iii
The video is comparing the spectrum of a clean sounding note with the spectrum of a fizzy one and since the fizz is unlike anything normally heard or seen in a clean guitar sound it dosn't matter that different guitars and amps were used. But if you really don't like the two source thing then simply ignore the "clean" recording and check out the fizzy one, It shows you what's happening with the fizz all by itself.
I bought a Mustang III from DV247 and have returned it because of this note-fade fizzing. It makes it impossible to get a good clean sound, even when the amp model has no effects of any sort. A great pity because the amp is excellent in all other respects, but I think you have to have a great clean sound first. Maybe a manic shred-head wouldn't notice it, but it's always there as the note fades, on every preset I tried. Fix it, Fender!
So, I am still contemplating buying a Mustang III. Does this 'fizz' issue happen on all of them?, or is it only happening to some of them?

Is there some reverb on the "fizzy" sample?

It's actually kind of a cool effect. I'd hate to hear it all the time though.

Interesting. Was this recorded from the USB output, or mic'd from the speaker?

@coppice99 The "clean" note was recorded from the USB output. The fizzy one was from the speaker.
