Cool! Following the Preset knob are the Modulation and Delay/Reverb selectors, respectively. Once you dial up a preset, adjusting any of the front-panel controls causes the Save switch to turn red, indicating you’ve made a change somewhere. Above are the Save and Exit switches that you use for saving any edits you make. The next section consists of the eight LEDs and corresponding labels identifying the amp type, plus the selector knob that allows you to dial through the presets. Of these five rotary knobs, the setting for four of them (except the Master, which acts as a global control) can be saved as part of a preset.
A set of five knobs follows: Gain (for varying the preamp overdrive ratio), Volume (for setting the overall level of each individual preset), Treble (for dialing in high-frequency content), Bass (low-frequency control), and Master, which varies the overall loudness of the amp regardless of the preset. Starting at the left side, there are two input jacks, one for the guitar and one for the optional footswitch (used for a versatile channel-switching function, described later).
Mustang I and II may be based on modeling technology, but their front panel welcomes you with the familiar controls of a good old analog combo amp. Beyond power output, speaker size, and, of course, their physical dimensions, the two amps are identical in every other aspect. It is lighter than most other 40-watt combos you’ll ever encounter and will hold its own in an ensemble and on gigs. Mustang II features 40 watts of power and a 12” inch speaker. It’s very lightweight, and is the perfect amplifier for a personal player in a bedroom, teaching one-on-one, or for playing duets with another guitar player. The Mustang series currently offers two models, Mustang I is the smallest, lower-wattage version with an 8” speaker and 20 watts of power. Mustang I and II feature a straightforward approach: modeled amp sounds coupled with great effects and virtually unlimited editing and storage potential through computer hookup. Now, with the Mustang I and II, Fender brings modeling technology to its more budget-conscious level yet. Fender continues its successful push into the arena of affordable modeling amps spearheaded by the G-DEC series.
