Fender Mustang II Electric Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't say enough about how impressed I am with this amplifier.Fender has really packed a load of usable features into an affordable, excellent sounding package.I've had the amp for two weeks now and am still exploring all of its capabilities, but it's one of the most exciting guitar products to come my way in years.

First of all, the different amp presets sound absolutely killer and the included FUSE software allows for easy editing and you can store an unlimited number of presets on your computer.There are many amp models and effects to choose from and the FUSE interface is so simple even an old school knob twirler like myself can handle it.Using the computer, you can replace the factory presets on the amp with your own, making it a truly custom amplifier.

Secondly, I was really impressed with the sound I can get from the amplifier.I have always preferred tube to solid state and this is the first modeling amp I've really been impressed with.It just sounds fantastic, with real differences between the various amp models you can choose from.It's been a real treat to be able to explore the different models, such as the Bassman, the Deluxe, Princeton, Twin, and other Fender and non-Fender amplifiers.The 12" speaker sounds great and the forty watts provides plenty of power, at least for my purposes.

Lastly, Fender has outdone themselves with the options they include.The amp features an input for your audio/MP3 player-great for those of us who like to practice along with music, a headphone output that doubles as a speaker emulator for recording, and a USB connection for connecting to the FUSE software and recording software.Fender has also included free recording software (Ableton) and their Amplitube software (as seen on the most recent iPad commercial).And you get all of this for two hundred bones.Well done, Fender!

If you're interested in this amplifier, do yourself a favor and check out the demo video on Fender's website.It's a really nice overview of the features and they also have sound samples of some of the presets you can listen to.The amp sounds just as good in person.

(The Mustang I is a 20 watt amp with an 8" speaker, but has all of the same goodies as the II if you don't need the power and want to save a hundred bucks.)
