This week I went into a music store to buy a string set and I saw the new Fender Mustang II amplifier exposed. I was curious about how it sounds and I
gave it a try. I was impressed how easy I could get some nice tones just
twisting the presets. I found some beautiful Fender Twin clean tones and
also some nice driven tones.
It´s an impressive light weight amplifier considering it got a 12' speaker.
I think it could be used to gig in some small places with a drummer without any problem.
It also got a master vol that allows you to get the same tone at low levels
no need to remix the gain and volume! (that's a real pain.... you know it!)
Of course it´s not made to be compared with a high quality tube amplifier!
I also own an Orange amp and a 4x12 Marshall cabinet but it's not a practice
kit and can not give me the clean tones I need ( Fender Tones At a Low Level! ) with all the delays, chorus, flanger, fuzz, all of it in traveling pac!
I went home impressed and after some research I discovered that this amp was capable for home recording acting as an audio interface using Fender Fuse software, a software similar to Amplitube Fender that enables you to deep edit the amp settings and record direct using the usb port.
Well....
The next day I was back to buy the amp. I recorded this song using a factory preset made to emulate Eric Johnson´s "Cliffs Of Dover".
I hope you like!
I could say for sure that this amp deserves at least try as a pratice amplifier.
In this video I tried to show the amp's tone using the original factory preset and USB port recording, but you can get a better recording result if you use a quality mic to capture the sound and tweak the presets a bit.
Sorry for any mistake with my english and my playing... I'm a eternal
student! God bless you all and thanks for the visit!
I got this amp. It rocks for only 200$. Great practice amp. Also beginners can get all sorts of different tones without breaking the bank after u learn how to use FUSE.

thanks for listening.
I agree with you, for a practice amp I think it is the best one you can get. Roland also got a the awesome roland mini cube but the mustang is more versatile (talking about practice amps).
