Fender Mustang I

[theAntihero]

Anyone have one or have played one? Im thinking about picking one up for home playing and maybe some added studio tones.

There is a new version out too. I wonder what the difference is. I'm thinking about getting a Mustang II if I can sell my vox lil night train. Lugging my Mark IV head to practice , now that I have three different projects going, is getting worrysome.

Had one. Sent it to Razorblade Ray.

It's a surprisingly good sounding little amp if you're willing to tweak it via the software a bit. By default some of the amp sims have a shitty pedal boost in front of them that sorta kills the tones. Tweak 'em and you can get decent high gain if you want it. It EXCELS at shimmery cleans though. I mean, seriously, I still think about picking up another just for cleans.

Now see shimmery cleans is something that i dont have in my vast collection of amps. I can knock down mountains with my Red Bear and gig with my XXX but nothing shimmery clean worthy. I though about picking up one of the bigger ones but ill never play live with it and i have tons of cabs so the single 8" speaker isnt really a concern.

Yeah but honesly for what im gonna use it for 20 watts is just fine and its much cheaper.

Some models have no speaker out, so check it before you buy it just to be sure if you plan on using it with a speaker cab.

If it doesnt i can easily wire up a jack so its not a big deal

My buddy has one. Surprisingly good tones out of that little thing.

[100 watt]

A guy at work has one of like to try

Looks like the new Version 2 adds a couple more amps and presets one of which is called Doom Hand(god thats a LOL worthy name) that actually sounds pretty damn good and obviously models an Orange.
