Fender LT25 Mustang & Rumble Amps - The best value practice amps on the market?

[@brianm9902]

Just picked one of those LT25 just for the home and practice brilliant little amps, I love the acoustic sim great for practising chords and just quiet practice , Fender hit a home run with these amps in my opinion

I like it because of its simplicity, no Bluetooth or app just plug and play. I use it as a practice amp . It sounds great at a lower volume so I can play late at night .

[@pabcrane]

Hiya guys, Here's a thought for a new vid...(I apologise if you've already done it!) Try out some modern bass amps on guitar. We've learnt that the Bassman and the Super Bass sound fabulous with guitars, I'm wondering if there are some hidden gems in your storeroom. Cheers

[@DeWittPotts]

No the Mustang LT25 does not sound like a Kemper or Line 6 Helix. It also does not cost anywhere near as much. I wish that I had something like this when I was starting out in the late 60's. I have this amp and use it for silent practicing with the headphones. As expected the 'Fender' style amp presets are a bit better than some of the other's. The Marshall tones sound too exaggerated to me at least when compared to my Marshall tube amp that I use for gigging. The presets are easy to select and very easy to edit. If you download 'Fender Tone' for Windows or Mac you can easily control the amp via the USB connection. You can also use the USB to record to your favorite DAW. Overall it is a great amp for practice.

[@iancurrie8844]

I picked one of these up for my office. Fully updated it. It sounds muffled and distant like you’re listening to someone play through a door in a different room. What do you expect from the speaker at this price point I guess. You can use the EQ to sort of help it. It’s a shame that there’s no global EQ that will stick like the GT/GTX series.

[@kjchicago1]

I have both amps (Fender LT25 and Fender Rumble Amp) and they're great amplifiers to work with

[@UltimateAccuracy]

Blackstar ID Core 20 is in the same ballpark for price & functionality. I've bought a couple for people starting out and the twin speaker design does help them sound bigger than the usual small box amps. These Fenders sound good here, put them on the shortlist.

[@melvynobrien6193]

They sound like crap.

[@widowmaker5544]

i nearly threw my headphones across the room with how awful the guitar sound is at the beginning, too noisy

[@vicpnut1]

This is how the original mustang was too . The cleans up to slightly driven were fantastic but full metal/hard rock distorted were horrible

[@SixShooter14]

Yeah, the opening bit was way too distorted. But pretty much everything else sounded pretty good. Maybe the 8" speaker just can't handle the metal? idk. For $150 USD, I'll keep my used Katana-50

[@hogthrob]

​I get the feeling that with their mic/DI setup in that room, anything with a speaker less than 12" sounds pants. Having said that, even Lee & Pete's speaking sounded a bit muffled in this video.

The Mustang LT25 amp is right now still available through the fender web shop in Europe and great value for money

[@grajmahal]

People naysaying these amps have no appreciation for just what you get for the money nowadays. I won't ever forget the piece of crap guitar and amp I had for the same amount of money as that Squier and the Mustang. I could only get two tones- utter crap, and utter crap slightly distorted. Just imagine being a kid and having a garage band now- inexpensive guitar/amp, bass/amp, and a buddy with a cheap Alesis electronic drumset- along with the guy that wants to sing with his karaoke cheap PA system. You could sound glorious with this setup in no time.

[@NFMorley]

I found one of my old amps recently when clearing out my parents place, and it was just as bad as I remembered! I gave it to a friend for his son who is starting guitar lessons, but made him promise to replace it if he sticks with playing guitar for more than a couple months as its so bad. Truly is great what you can get even at a low cost these days!

Those squiers are also a good starter guitar, and are not actually that bad in sound compared to something far more pricy. I have the Telecaster version of the same guitar. I’ve heard the mustang lt25 in real life, and it sounds much better in the room than people give it credit for, and I think it’s more versatile than my champion 20. I’ve never been disappointed by a rumble amp either. I have a basic rumble 40, but it sounds great! I happened to try the rumble 100 one day thinking it would just be louder and not any better in terms of tone, but wow, the low E on the 100 shakes the floor like nothing else, even in combination with my inexpensive Ibanez gio bass.

Pete proves that you do not have to be bulky to be a bass player, and that a good smile and a sense of humour is helpful too.

[@paulsummerside]

It is a pity it doesn’t include at least a post EQ XLR out. Which would make it extremely useful, to plug into the desk. It does include a mini usb out, which is handy. It doesn’t have the modelling features of the Studio 40 or Stage 800, which again is a pity, but for a recording musician on a budget where space is limited I suppose it could fit the bill. Think I would in reality go straight for the Stage or Studio versions with the improved options and connectablility. But I certainly wouldn’t refuse one if it happened to fall into my Christmas stocking. I’d find a use fit it.

I've never played the Yamaha THR since I only play bass but that thing has a good reputation and seems to be overall pretty good quality at around 260€.

[@Homanjer]

If you have a good enough laptop (or PC if you don't have to transport it) you could also go with a software solution like bias amp and bias fx which are obviously way cheaper and sound decent enough. However if you go software you would have to buy an Audiointerface for around 100-150€ and either get good monitors or something else that would be able to produce a good and loud enough sound.

[@jesusjustelucero3615]

It is not need for discussion in sound, it is a beginners amp with a low price tag, therefore it is what it is! However, I remembered when I bought my first amp 25yrs ago didn’t have a 1/10 of what this amp has and sound was not the greatest either...

I have two of them and use one in the studio and live for everything now even though I have a collection of vintage Fender amps from small to large. I use the Twin Reverb setting for clean to edge of breakup sounds and the Bassman for more distortion. I keep the master volume on 5. Next to the real amps it sounds slightly better to my ears and doesn’t need to be extra loud to sound great. The onboard reverb is awesome though I use a 63 reissue reverb unit for more surf sounds. The onboard delay is perfect for Brian Setzer or Johnny Cash slap back and the tremolo is great too though I use a tremolo pedal because it is also my boost and it’s convenient. I had a hard time admitting it to myself but now it’s my all time favorite amp. Even the feel is perfect. Mustang 1 forever!
