PRESS RELEASE: Mustang series guitar amps offer up-to-date features and loads of fun at unbelievable prices.
Aimed at guitarists from beginner to weekend warrior, these high-performance machines contain highly accurate amp modelling, a stellar collection of effects courtesy of an all-new DSP platform, and many "hidden" capabilities, yet they are easy to use right out of the box!
The visually striking design treatment looks all new, yet evocative of classic Fender styling. And with loud, lightweight power amp designs and muscular speakers and cabinetry, they sound as good as they look. The Mustang is a closed-back combo with a special design speaker.
The amps come factory loaded with 24 presets built from 8 amp models and 24 effects, with tones from vintage Fender to modern Metal. The number of amp models can be increased with the use of a computer, and the amp can be completely reconfigured by the user.
All Mustang amps include USB connectivity for high-quality, low latency audio output, and to engage the Fender Fuse software application for PC and Mac.
This opens up a world of possibilities, including on-screen parameter control, deep editing, "hidden" effects, unlimited preset storage, online preset swapping with the Fender Fuse community, and free Fender artist presets.
Mustang amps even include recording and modelling software packages from Ableton and IK Multimedia at no extra charge. Mustang amps deliver great sound; the possibility of endless experimentation; and a fun, unique experience for guitarists of all skill levels.
