Pedal Menus

Press the PEDAL button to configure the Mustang Floor
expression pedal as well as an external EXP-1 expression



pedal (optional) when connected. Press the PEDAL
button repeatedly to access each of the pedal menus described
below. Many menu items are dynamic and only appear under the
appropriate conditions. For example, if Expression Behavior mode
is set to "off," none of the parameter menus for Expression mode
will appear. Likewise, all EXP-1 pedal parameters will appear only
when an EXP-1 pedal is connected to the Mustang Floor. Note:
EXP-1 menu items are prefaced with "EXP-1" instead of "FLOOR" on
screen.

The current Volume or Expression mode state of the pedal

is stored with the current preset when you save a preset. See
"Pedal Default" under Utility Menus on page 7 to override.

VOLUME MODE MENUS

• Volume Enable — (O n/Of f) Select "On" if you want the pedal to

control the master volume level in Volume mode, or select "Off" if
you want the pedal to be off in Volume mode.

• Global Volume Heel / Global Volume Toe — (0–100%) Use

these menus to set the master volume level with the heel of the
pedal in the fully down position (Heel Volume) and with the toe
of the pedal in the fully down position (Toe Volume).

Expression Pedal

Your Mustang™ Floor is equipped with a dual-mode expression
pedal. Switch between Volume mode and Expression mode by
pressing down hard on the toe end of the pedal. An icon in the
upper right corner of the screen displays the current pedal mode.
"VOLUME OFF" or "EXP OFF" appears if the current pedal mode
is set to "off" for the current preset in the Volume Enable or
Expression Behavior pedal menus below.

Volume mode icon Expression mode icon

Volu me mode is used to control master volume (or the pedal

can be set to off in Volume mode).

Expression mode can be used to control almost any effect or

amp parameter on the Mustang Floor (or the pedal can be set
to off in Expression mode). Some common uses are to control
the frequency parameter of a Wah effect or the rate/time
parameter of a modulation or delay effect.

The Global Volume Heel and Toe settings are stored globally

and affect all presets. Every other pedal parameter is stored
locally and affects an individual preset.

EXPRESSION MODE MENUS

• Expression Behavior — (Off, Amp, Stomp, Mod, Delay, Reverb, Volume)

Select the category that you want to control with the expression
pedal in Expression mode or select "Off" if you want the pedal to
be off in Expression mode.

You must have an effect selected for the current preset on

the Mustang Floor to make that category of effect become
available for selection in this menu.

• Expression Parameter — (Variable) Select the parameter that

you want to control with the pedal in Expression mode. Your
options will change depending on the category you selected
in the Expression Behavior menu above, and the effect module
selected for the current preset.

• Expression Heel / Expression Toe — (Variable) Use these menus

to set the level of the active parameter with the heel of the pedal
in the fully down position (Heel Setting) and with the toe of
the pedal in the fully down position (Toe Setting). Your options
will change depending on the category you selected in the
Expression Behavior menu, above.

• Expression Mode — (Capture, Live) If "Live" is selected, the cur-

rent pedal position will override the stored preset setting for
the assigned expression pedal parameter when a preset is first
selected. If "Capture" is selected, the pedal is disabled until you
move the pedal after a preset has been selected.

position of the pedal when switching to Volume mode.

Pedal Calibration

Occasionally it may become necessary to calibrate the Mustang
Floor's expression pedal and/or an EXP-1 expression pedal con­nected to the Mustang Floor, to reset the parameter range of the
pedal(s) to ensure consistent performance.

To calibrate the expression pedal and EXP-1 pedal:

1. (Optional) Plug an EXP-1 pedal into the "EXP-1 / MS-4" jack on

the back of the Mustang Floor using the included cable.

2. Turn the Mustang Floor off.

3. Press and hold the UTIL button on the Mustang Floor while

turning the Mustang Floor back on. Continue holding the UTIL
button down until it is no longer illuminated.

4. Rock the Mustang Floor expression pedal (and the EXP-1, if

connected, through the full range of motion between heel and
toe positions.

4. The Mustang Floor expression pedal and the EXP-1, if con-

nected, have been calibrated!

Pedal Tension

Occasionally it may become necessary to adjust the tension of the
axle nut on the expression pedal to increase or decrease the ease
of pedal movement.

To use the EXP-1 and MS-4 simultaneously, plug the EXP-1 into

the Mustang Floor and then plug the MS-4 into the second jack
on the EXP-1.

EXP-1 Expression Pedal (P/N 2301050000)

Configure the EXP-1 expression pedal through the pedal menus
(see Pedal Menus, page 5). The EXP-1 only functions in Expression
mode when connected to the Mustang Floor. The green LED indi­cates when the EXP-1 pedal is powered on and the red LED indi­cates whether Expression mode is currently enabled.

MS-4 Four-Button Footswitch (P/N 0080996000)

The MS-4 footswitch display and LEDs show you much of the same
information as the Mustang Floor screen, so you can for example,
tune your guitar and select presets by watching the footswitch
without ever looking at the screen onboard the Mustang Floor!
The MS-4 allows you to:

• Select Quick Access presets (QA1/QA2/QA3)

• Select presets (up/down/bank)

• Bypass effects

• Activate the Tuner

To a djust pedal tensio n :

Pry off the circular "F" cap from the right side of the pedal with a
small flat blade screwdriver, then use a 10 mm socket wrench to

Saving Presets

Your Mustang™ Floor gives you the powerful ability to save every
setting on the unit as part of a preset. When you select a preset,
every effect setting, amp setting and expression pedal parameter
is instantly recalled to your pre-programmed settings.

The SAVE button will light up red when you edit any

setting on the Mustang Floor. This indicates that you
have temporarily modified the current preset. You can undo your
modifications simply by selecting a different preset and then back
again to the preset you started from.

input), set your amp as clean as possible using a low gain setting
and start with your BASS and TREBLE tone controls turned down
and your MID tone control turned up, then adjust as needed.

• Output Configure — (Mon o/Stereo) If "Mono" (default) is selected,

left and right channels are summed together prior to the output
voicing and bass/treble menus below; you can independently
set the voicing and bass/treble settings for the left and right
UNBALANCED OUT jacks and XLR OUT jacks only when the output
configure menu is set to "Mono." Select "Stereo" to send stereo
left and right channel signals to the left and right UNBALANCED

Voicing menu is available and both left and right channels must
be set to the same voicing. The voicing options are active only
when the Amp settings are active (not bypassed) and a speaker
cabinet is selected within the Amp settings (see Amplifier Menus,
page 4). While the PHONES jack is used, output voicing is inter-
nally set to "PA System" for all analog outputs (UNBALANCED, XLR
and PHONES, but not USB) and the settings selected in the voic­ing menus are temporarily ignored.

It is recommended that you start with one of the 3 main voicings

(PA System, Combo, or Stack) and then choose one of the alterna­tives (+Bass, +Treble, Mid-Scoop) only if you find the main set­tings lacking in bass, treble, or having too much mid-frequency
response.
