Using EXP-1 with Mustang™ III-IV-V

EXP-1 Pedal Calibration

The first time you connect the EXP-1 to your Mustang ampli­fier, you should calibrate it so that the expression pedal range
of movement is synchronized with the parameter ranges.
Calibration takes only a few seconds:

To calibrate the EXP-1:

1. Plug the EXP-1 pedal into the "4 BUTTON" FOOTSWITCH

jack on the back of your Mustang amplifier using the
included cable.

2. Turn the amplifier OFF.

3. Press and hold the UTIL button on the amplifier, then turn

The EXP-1 expression pedal (P/N 2301050000) is compatible
with Fender® Mustang™ III-IV-V amplifiers and Mustang Floor.

the amplifier ON. Continue holding the UTIL button down
until it is no longer illuminated.

4. The EXP-1 expression pedal has been calibrated!

Repeat the calibration procedure each time you change

EXP-1 pedals or plug the EXP-1 into a different amplifier.

The EXP-1 operates in two modes, Volume behavior mode and
Expression behavior mode. You switch between modes by
pressing down hard on the toe end of the expression pedal.
Red and green LEDs on the EXP-1 indicate the current pedal
mode:

• Volume behavior mode is used to control master volume

(or the expression pedal can be set to OFF in Volume mode).

• Expression behavior mode can be used to control most

effect and amp parameters on your Mustang amplifier. Some
common uses are to control the frequency parameter of a
Wah effect or the rate/time parameter of a modulation or
delay effect.

Expression mode is also useful for experimenting with

those "mystery" parameters that you're not quite sure
what they do—you can adjust the parameter with your
foot and continue playing uninterrupted while listening
to the parameter changes!
