INTRODUCTION

This expanded owner’s manual is a thorough user’s guide to the features and functions of the Mustang GTX50 and GTX100 ampliers.

As a complement to the Mustang GTX Quick Start Guide that comes with each amplier, this manual presents a deeper, more detailed look at Mustang GTX’s many versatile capabilities. This includes navigation and modication of the many onboard presets, and comprehensive descriptions of the many amplier and eect models. It also includes step-by-step and fully illustrated instructions for using Mustang GTX’s Setlist, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, onboard tuner, GTX-7 footswitch, EXP-1 Expression Pedal and looping functions.

Mustang GTX’s tonal possibilities are virtually endless, especially when paired with the Fender Tone™ app (page 62). Be sure to check back regularly for rmware updates that improve and enhance the Mustang GTX experience (see page 60). While this expanded manual presents the most current version of the ampliers, also check back for updated manual versions as Mustang GTX grows and evolves.

PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL KNOBS

It’s important to note that all top control panel knobs except Master Volume (H) are, as described above, “programmable.” That means that when a preset is rst selected, the physical position of a top control panel knob may not indicate the actual setting contained in that preset (the actual setting appears in the display window). Only the Master Volume control is not programmable—its physical position always indicates actual overall volume. Once a programmable top control panel knob is turned, however, it and its digital counterpart within a preset become synchronized to the same value, as illustrated here:

REVERBFUZZ

Also note that an adjusted control knob setting can be saved in a new preset, or the original preset can be overridden with the adjusted control knob setting. If the adjusted setting is not saved, the preset will revert to its pre-programmed control knob settings when returning to the preset after leaving it, or when turning the amplier o and back on again (see further info under “Editing and Saving Presets” pages 5-6).

Mustang GTX comes with more than 100 sequentially numbered presets, and users can create and add even more. Each preset has three “layers” that appear in the DISPLAY WINDOW. These are the PRESET LAYER (top), SIGNAL PATH LAYER (middle) and CONTROLS LAYER (bottom); the three LAYER BUTTONS provide access to each layer (see illustration below).

The PRESET LAYER is active when the amplier is rst turned on; the default setting is the rst preset (01). To scroll through presets, turn the ENCODER (see illustration below); whichever preset is displayed becomes active. Presets can also be selected by footswitch (see page 40).

The SIGNAL PATH LAYER of each preset consists of one of Mustang GTX’s many amplier models, and one or more of dozens of eects and their order (or no eects in some cases). The amp model appears in the center of the SIGNAL PATH LAYER display. Eects appear to either side of the amp model, representing their position in the signal path—“pre” to the left of the amp model (placed “before” the amp) or “post” to the right of the amp model (as in an eects loop). Select any of these items by turning the ENCODER; the selected item in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER will have a white indicator arrow below it and text describing its position above it (see

illustration below).

Flanked by two eects, the amp model within the preset is selected here in the SIGNAL PATH

LAYER, as indicated by the white arrow and the word “amplier.”

the amp model within the preset is selected.

Each preset can be used as is. With many dierent amp models, eects types and control settings to choose among, however, each preset’s SIGNAL PATH LAYER and CONTROLS LAYER settings can easily be modied and saved for personally individualized sounds (see next section, “Editing and Saving Presets”).

A preset can also be moved to a dierent position or cleared from the list of presets. Further, the entire list of presets can be restored to its factory state. To perform these functions, see “Preset Organizer” (page 51).

EDITING AND SAVING PRESETS

Within each preset, the amplier control knob settings, amp models, and eects types and parameters can be tailored to individual preference. When a preset is selected, the box containing its number is blue, indicating that no edits have been made to it (see illustration below).

When edits to a preset have been made, the box containing the preset number changes to red, and the SAVE utility button illuminates (see illustration below).

Page 8

If an edited setting is not saved, the preset will revert to its previous settings when returning to the preset after leaving it, or when turning the amplier o and back on again. To save a preset edit, press the illuminated SAVE utility button to get three options (see illustration below): SAVE (keep preset as edited), RENAME (save preset with a new name in its current position) and SAVE AS NEW (save preset in a new position with a new name). Turn the ENCODER to highlight an option; press it to select one.

To enter a new preset name after choosing RENAME or SAVE AS NEW, use the ENCODER to spell out a new name of your choice. Press the ENCODER once to activate the cursor; turn it to choose a character (see illus- tration below). Press ENCODER again to enter that character and move to the next. Repeat until new name is complete; press the SAVE utility button to keep completed new name, or press the top LAYER button (corresponding with onscreen prompt “back”) to return to the previous screen. Note that when choosing SAVE AS NEW, the preset will be saved in the next available open position (“101” in the illustration below).

A favorite preset can be saved quickly and conveniently to a “FAVORITES Setlist” (see page 31). Also, note that Mustang GTX includes cloud-based backup and restore functions for presets (see page 56).

EDITING PRESET AMPLIFIER CONTROL KNOB SETTINGS

As noted in the “Control Panel” section above, users can change a preset’s amplier control knob settings by turning the physical control knobs on the top panel (except for Master Volume). This synchronizes the modied settings of the physical control knobs with their corresponding digital counterparts.

These settings can also be changed by editing the digital control knob positions within the CONTROLS LAYER, which displays the controls specic to the amp in use. To do this, rst access the CONTROLS LAYER by pressing its LAYER BUTTON (see illustration below).

In addition to amp models, each preset also features various combinations of eects. Eects can be edited in several ways—they can be bypassed, replaced, moved, added or deleted. Further, the individual settings of each eect can be modied. Each option is explained below and on the following pages.

Editing the types of eects in use and their position in the signal path happens in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER. To do this, rst access the SIGNAL PATH LAYER by pressing its corresponding LAYER BUTTON, which will automatically highlight the amplier model in use rst. To highlight an eect, turn the ENCODER in either direction (see illustrations below). The eect will be highlighted with a white arrow below it and a label above it.

USING THE TAP TEMPO BUTTON

In presets that include Modulation eects, Delay eects or both*, the TAP utility button ashes in time with the default rate of the last delay eect in the signal path (or last modulation eect if no delay eect is present). This rate can be left as is, or it can be modied using the TAP utility button. To set a new TAP tempo, tap the ashing TAP utility button at the desired tempo at least two times (see illustration below). The TAP utility button will function regardless of which layer is highlighted (PRESET LAYER, SIGNAL PATH LAYER or CONTROLS LAYER).

SETTING NOTE DIVISIONS

To synch an eect to the BPM rate, the user can set a specic “note division” for modulation and delay eects. When the note division is set, the time value is automatically calculated to t with the current BPM setting. If the time parameter is changed, the note division is automatically set to “o”.

Note divisions values are o, whole note, half note, dotted half note, half note triplet, quarter note, dotted quarter note, quarter note triplet, eighth note, dotted eighth note, eighth note triplet, sixteenth note, dotted sixteenth note, sixteenth note triplet, thirty second note, dotted thirty second note and thirty second note triplet.

To set note divisions, go to the CONTROLS LAYER of the selected modulation or delay eect by pressing the corresponding bottom LAYER BUTTON. Use the ENCODER to scroll to and select “NOTE DIVISION” (abbreviated “DIV”); then turn and press the ENCODER to select a note division value:

FOOTSWITCH USE

Three foot-control devices can be used with Mustang GTX ampliers—the GTX-7 and MGT-4 footswitches and the EXP-1 Expression Pedal.

The seven-button GTX-7 Footswitch comes with Mustang GTX100 and is optional for Mustang GTX50. It enables convenient remote foot control of several functions, including the built-in tuner, amp preset selection, eects bypass, 60-second looper and more. The EXP-1 Expression Pedal, optional for both Mustang GTX amps, is a dual-mode digital pedal that controls Mustang GTX volume and amp/eect parameters.

The four-button MGT-4 Footswitch is optional for both Mustang GTX amp models. Note that instructions for using the MGT-4 Footswitch can be found online in the Mustang GT Guitar Amplier Expanded Owner’s Manual

Rev. A (PN 7712493000), and in the Mustang GT Guitar Amplier Addendum to Expanded Owner’s Manual Firmware V2.0 (PN 7715279000).

Connect the GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack on the amp’s rear panel. The amplier automatically defaults to the connected footswitch while the amp is fully booted. The GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch can be combined with the EXP-1 Expression Pedal by “chaining” the two pedals together.

The GTX-7 Footswitch has seven buttons—a BANK UP button at upper left, a MODE/TUNER button at upper right, and ve numbered FUNCTION buttons along the bottom. Three MODE LEDs are at upper right, and ve FUNCTION LEDs are arrayed with one above each FUNCTION button. The DISPLAY WINDOW is at top center.

A. BANK UP BUTTON: Used to move up and down through consecutive groups (“banks”) of ve presets.

chromatic TUNER mode.

E. FUNCTION BUTTONS/LEDS: Five numbered buttons enable foot control of various Mustang GTX func-

tions, depending on footswitch mode in use. Red LEDs above each FUNCTION BUTTON indicate various functions in use.

Page 42

GTX-7 FOOTSWITCH: MODES

The GTX-7 Footswitch oers three Mustang GTX modes—PRESETS, EFFECTS and LOOPER. To choose one, cycle through them by stepping on the MODE button (D) at the upper right of the footswitch repeatedly until the desired mode is reached, as indicated by its color-coded MODE LED (C).

PRESETS MODE

PRESETS mode enables the user to reach any of Mustang GTX’s many presets using the GTX-7 Footswitch. To do this, step on the MODE button (green arrow in illustration below) until PRESETS mode is activated, as indicated by the illuminated red MODE LED directly to the right of the label “PRESETS.”

When the GTX-7 Footswitch is in PRESETS mode, presets become available in consecutive groups of ve called “banks,” with each of the ve presets in a bank sequentially assigned to FUNCTION buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. To move “upward” through subsequent banks of ve presets, step on the BANK UP button (blue arrow in illustra- tion below). To move “downward” to the preceding bank of ve presets, step on and hold the BANK UP button.

When the bank containing the desired preset is reached, select the desired preset within that bank by stepping on its corresponding FUNCTION button (yellow arrows in illustration below). When the desired preset has been selected, its corresponding red FUNCTION LED will illuminate, and the DISPLAY WINDOW will show the preset in use (see illustration below, in which preset 3 is active). The PRESETS mode LED will ash at the tempo of time-based eects; to change tempo using the GTX-7, tap twice on the currently selected PRESET footswitch.

Note that when activating PRESETS mode, the GTX-7 Footswitch will automatically set itself to whatever MUSTANG GTX preset is already set on the amp. This preset will be assigned to the footswitch FUNCTION button corre-

sponding to the preset’s position within its bank (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). For example, if the amp is set to preset number 33, the GTX-7 Footswitch in PRESETS mode will also be set to preset number 33 and will assign that preset to FUNCTION button 3 (the third preset in the bank containing presets 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35).

EFFECTS MODE

EFFECTS mode lets the user turn the rst ve eects in a Mustang GTX preset on and o using the GTX-7 Footswitch (known as the EFFECTS mode default or “rst ve” setting).

To do this, step on the footswitch MODE button (green arrow in illustration on next page) until EFFECTS mode is activated; the MODE LED directly to the right of the label “EFFECTS” will illuminate in amber and “EFF” will appear in the DISPLAY WINDOW (see illustration on next page). Any eects in the active preset are then assigned to the footswitch FUNCTION buttons—labeled “FX1”, “FX2”, “FX3”, “FX4” and “FX5” for this purpose (yellow arrows in illustration below). When an eect is on, the red FUNCTION LED above its assigned FUNCTION button will illuminate. To bypass an eect, step on its corresponding FUNCTION button; theeect and its red FUNCTION LED will then turn o. To turn the eect back on, step on its FUNCTION button again.

Page 43

Up to the rst ve eects in a preset are assigned this way; in a preset with only two eects, for example, they are assigned to FUNCTION buttons “FX1” and “FX2”, as in the example below.

EFFECTS mode example showing a preset with two eects, each assigned to FUNCTION buttons FX1 and FX2. The illuminated red FUNC-

TION LEDs above FX1 and FX2 indicate that both eects are on; both can be turned o by stepping on their respective FUNCTION buttons.

EFFECTS mode also oers a “category” setting in which ve entire categories of eects are assigned to the footswitch FUNCTION buttons, letting the user turn all eects of a particular type on and o in the active preset. In this setting, Stompbox eects are assigned to FUNCTION button FX1, Modulation eects are assigned to FUNCTION button FX2, Delay eects are assigned to FUNCTION button FX3, Reverb eects are assigned to FUNCTION button FX4 and Filters+Pitch eects are assigned to FUNCTION button FX5. Note that the Dynamics+EQ eects category can not be assigned to the footswitch.

To use this EFFECTS mode setting, press the MENU utility button on the amp control panel and use the ENCODER to scroll to and select the “FOOTSWITCH” menu option:

GLOBAL EQ

“Global EQ” is a MENU utility button function within the EQ & AMP SETTINGS menu (see page 28) that provides access to dierent equalization curves for easier adjustment of overall amp response to dierent acoustic environments. This is particularly helpful when users have all their favorite presets and settings dialed in, but then nd themselves in, for example, brighter- or boomier-sounding rooms, halls, outdoor areas, etc. Rather than re-adjust each and every preset and setting, users can quickly and easily select one of nine dierent EQ proles shaped to suit the surroundings at hand.

Activate this function by pressing the MENU utility button (green arrow) and using the ENCODER to scroll to and select “EQ & AMP SETTINGS”, and then “GLOBAL EQ.” Scroll to and select any of the nine options presented (see illustrations below and on next page)—“BRIGHT CUT EQ” for de-accentuating top end, ”FLAT EQ” (a good default choice that actually provides no additional equalization), two dierent “GUITAR FOCUS” proles, two dierent “BRIGHT BOOST” proles for accentuating the top end, two “LOW CUT” proles for trimming bass response, and a “LOW VOLUME BASS BOOST” prole for enhanced bass response at lower volume settings (using this EQ at higher volumes could cause unwanted boominess or speaker distortion).

To access the Global EQ function, rst press the MENU utility button and use the

ENCODER to scroll to and select “EQ & Amp Settings”.

BACKUP/RESTORE FOR PRESETS AND SETLISTS

Mustang GTX has cloud-based backup and restore features for presets and Setlists, both using the Fender Tone™ app. A Fender Connect account is necessary to use these features (Fender Connect accounts can be created on the Fender website at fender.com by clicking “Sign In” at top right of the screen, or from the Tone app by tapping “My Account” in the settings screen).

BACKUP FOR PRESETS AND SETLISTS

To backup all presets and Setlists to the cloud, rst connect to Fender Tone and open the app. In the app, go to the “SETTINGS” menu at the bottom of the screen, then select “BACKUP/RESTORE”:

The rst time a backup is created, the user is prompted to select “CREATE A BACKUP”, then to enter a backup name:

After a backup name is entered, a warning screen prompts the user select “OK BACKUP NOW” or “CANCEL”:

Page 59

After selecting “OK BACKUP NOW”, the “BACKUP IN PROGRESS” and “BACKUP SUCCESSFUL” screens appear, indicating that all presets and Setlists are now backed up. The user then selects “DONE”:

Alternately, a “BACKUP FAILED” screen may appear, after which the user selects “TRY AGAIN” or “CONTACT SUPPORT” (the latter directs the user to the Tone app support portal on the Fender website). If the backup fails again after selecting “TRY AGAIN”, a second “BACKUP FAILED” screen then prompts the user to select “CONTACT SUPPORT”, which directs the user to the Tone app support portal on the Fender website, or to select “GOT IT”, which returns the user to the “BACKUP/RESTORE” screen:

Backups are logged by time and date in the cloud; this backup log can be viewed in the Fender Tone app. By selecting the “edit” symbol at upper right (green arrow), a backup can be deleted; note that doing so deletes

the backup from the cloud, not merely from the backup log. Also note that when creating subsequent backups after the rst one, the “CREATE A BACKUP” button is replaced by a plus symbol at upper right (yellow arrow):

RESTORING/DELETING PRESETS AND SETLISTS

Amazing backup

To restore or delete presets and Setlists from the cloud, rst connect to Fender Tone and open the app. In the app, go to the “SETTINGS” menu and press “BACKUP/RESTORE”:

A list of the backups already created will appear; select the one to be restored from the list. A screen detailing the backup will then appear; select “RESTORE” or “DELETE”:

Amazing backup

For maximum certainty when selecting “RESTORE,” two successive warning prompts appear for which the user selects “RESTORE” or “CANCEL” two more times:

After selecting “RESTORE” from both warning prompts, the “RESTORE IN PROGRESS” and “RESTORE SUCCESSFUL” screens appear; the user selects “DONE” and then restarts the amplier:

Alternately, a “RESTORE FAILED” screen may appear, prompting the user to select “TRY AGAIN” or “CONTACT SUPPORT” (the latter directs the user to the Tone app support portal on the Fender website). If the restore fails again after selecting “TRY AGAIN”, a second “RESTORE FAILED” screen then prompts the user to select “CONTACT SUPPORT” or “GOT IT”, which returns the user to the “BACKUP/RESTORE” screen:

When “DELETE” is selected, the steps are similar to those described above—a “DELETE” warning screen appears, followed by a “DELETE IN PROGRESS” screen. The result will be either a “DELETE SUCCESSFUL” screen in which the user then selects “DONE,” or a “DELETE FAILED” screen. When a delete fails, the user can make two further attempts; if these fail, the user is presented with the “CONTACT SUPPORT” and “GOT IT” options described above.
