Navigation

Programmable Knobs

Because the setting of every knob on the Mustang amplifier
(except MASTER) is part of each preset, all programmable
knobs are normally inactive and knob positions will NOT
show their actual settings when a preset is first selected.

Programmable knob positions are inactive unless turned

There are just a few basics of Mustang navigation that you
should know before you explore any further...

Selecting Presets

The most powerful feature of your Mustang amplifier is its
ability to store every amplifier setting and effect selection as a
preset that you can instantly recall using the PRESET knob, or
remotely from your computer or footswitch.

Use the PRESET knob to select one of 24 presets. Presets are
stored in three banks, colored AMBER, GREEN and RED.

Turn the PRESET knob to scroll through each bank of presets
in the following order:

How do I activate a programmable knob? The moment you
turn any programmable knob it instantly becomes active
and it will remain active until you select a different preset, at
which time it becomes inactive again.

Rotate knobs to activate their positions

You may hear a big change in volume or tone when you
first turn a programmable knob if there happened to be a
large difference between the knob's starting position and
the stored preset setting. For example, if the VOLUME knob
is pointing to "8" but the stored preset VOLUME setting is
"2," the volume level will jump from "2" to "8" when you start
turning the VOLUME knob because the VOLUME knob is now
instantly active at "8."

The only way to know what the preset setting of a knob

is before you turn it, is by using Fender FUSE software
and connecting the Mustang to your computer.

AMBER Bank

( Factory presets )

Each preset is based on one of the eight amplifier types
labeled next to each of the preset LEDs. That gives you a total
of three presets for each amplifier type.

Effects

There are two effect selection knobs on the Mustang:

• MOD — selects Modulation type effects

• DLY / REV — selects Delay and Reverb type effects

You can also select effects from a STOMPBOX category

using Fender FUSE software.

The MOD and DLY / REV knobs share the same three selection
indicator LEDs. The knob turned last has control of these LEDs:
