I got a GTX100 yesterday, after watching several other videos and trying one out at GC. I got it because of the great sounds it puts out, the amp does what Fender says it can do, and much more. I'm really enjoying picking different presets and modifying them, and the good thing is, if you want to start over, you can go back to the factory configuration. And as Fatt Philosopher points out in his comment, you do wind up saving thousands in pedals, something I was getting tired of dropping money on. My favorite presets for now are 65' Twin Reverb, Uber Metal, Chorus Funk, and Blues 1951. I am still in the learning process, but what can I say, it's a lot of fun! Definitely give it a go, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It's funny, when the Line 6 "Spider Jam" amp came out (and I got one) and lot of my buddies were like... "why would you want an amp that does all that crap." Now, it seems like every amp manufacturer is coming out with the same type of "do it all" digital amps. Maybe, just maybe that "one" special sound you want out of a digital amp isn't as good as a tube amp costing 20 times more, but the digital amp can do things that the tube amp can never do on its own. My Line 6 Spider Jam is starting to show its age a bit, this new "Fender Mustang" might be worth a trade up. We will have to see. Great videos, keep up the good work. William C. central Indiana.

@@NANA-ht7gl I agree with you that saying 20x more was more than a bit of a stretch. However, new Blues Jr's (arguably a fantastic little amp) with a 12 inch speaker start at $600 (yes, I know you can get them a little cheaper and or used) and are only 15 watt amps. And I know, you can't really compare wattage/volume between tube and solid state... that 15 watt will be plenty loud. But to get the same capabilities out of the Blues Jr that you can get out of the new Mustang, your investment is not only going to be in the cost of the amp and that in effect does drive up the cost in a price comparison. If you want all of the effects, the better foot switch, recording capability... That doesn't mean the Mustang is better, it's not. It's just different. But as a total package, even if they are within $100 dollars of each other the Mustang offers more initially. "20x" more? No. Totally in agreement with you there, but potentially a considerable bit more to get them on the same page capability wise. Sound wise is a totally different argument. Love me some solid state amps but they don't really compare to tube amp sounds.

I have two Mustangs. My journey actually started out with the G-DEC line. I now have a Mustang IV and a Mustang III V.2 Love both. As time has gone on Fender makes improvements and adds features that players like. Heck I remember when Fender came out with the CYBER TWIN.......My Mustang 4 has 100 tone presets, dozens of effects, computer software to make your own presets, a pedal that allows you to swap between presets, 150 watts of power, a headphone jack, a mini-USB port, and two 12 inch Celestion speakers. What made me go to the III was the direct XLR out to our sound board. No more Micing the amp for live performances and other stage noise. The III is lighter too but has the same features and 100 presets the older IV had and sounds great. However the Fender Fuse software is out dated and no longer supported. Im thinking about getting the new GTX100 but these amps are still in great working order and condition. Nice job on the review.

I switched to whatever small combo amp I liked best at the time. I could bring the amp, pedal board, crate of spare stuff and both my guitars into the club with a hand truck. I learned that less can be more and there was no need for fricking half stacks that the vol was never set higher than 3. Now I have a little Orange Crush 12 for at home practice and recording.

Sadly, the Amp is most likely made in China like my Fender Mustang III v1. If the "Plannedemic" has taught us anything it's that our politicians have sold us out. Outsourcing comes with a price and the peasants pay that price. Next time you consider buying that ridiculously low priced amp with all the bells and whistles, think about the average guy who lost his or her job because of globalism. I've known many friends and family over the years that lost their jobs because their employer could not compete with foreign competition. It didn't matter how good their product was. Without good paying jobs the average consumer won't be able to afford your quality. How many people do you know that hate Walmart but have little choice to shop elsewhere because of their low paying job? Do you really need an amp? Unlike food and clothing many of us don't need an amp. If you must and have the spare change, consider buying used. Just my 3 cents.

The Mustang Series are great amps for home use, recording etc. The Katana also works well in this capacity. In a live setting the Kahana wins in my opinion. The 5 amp styles that you have on the Katana are easy to dial in and don't have the big volume variation that are common on the Mustang and other modeling amps. I use a pedal board with the Katana 212 and have done so for years. It easily hangs with a drummer. Etc. and is very reliable too. If you will be strictly using in home, pick the one that you feel sounds best. You really can't go wrong with either one.

That's cool that your a 80's style dude but then again your style of playing gives it away & I am a huge 80's dude myself so yeah this amp is frickin kick ass! Has all the bells & whistles & stereo too boot.. Dig it man!! Michigan!

I’m glad they went back to a more traditional look. The older mustangs looked great. The modern style mustangs looked cheap. This is very cool.

@@GuitarMAXMusic It sounds great, but much louder than I expected. I played it in a 2000-seating concert hall and everyone was telling me I was too loud. At home, I have to play with headphones cause the volume suddenly goes up when you change amp sims. Probably should have bought the GT40.

Great video. I am a beginner and feel spoiled rotten with this amp since I picked one up about a month ago. My playing/practice time is about 2 hours a day now - its so fun to play and switch up the tone and/or effects within a tone. It's absolutely feeding a creative part of me I didn't know I had. Well done Fender.

I dont really care how good it sounds or looks. This is just so handy, and it’s loaded! Just the fact it has a 12” speaker and an FX loop makes it stand out from other digital amps. Gigs and recording? Fuck no! Practicing, composing, fucking around? Hell yes!

I think having a portable amp packed full of features that you could take to a friends house or a small gig is great. I have a 100watt orange head and a 212 that isn't much fun to lug around.

I definitely think it has a more mature look. This will easily reach an older audience now too. Those starting out and the fender fans who can't afford the big stuff.
@Artcore1034 жыл бұрын
not just those who can't afford the "big stuff", I mean fender has small tube amps starting around or just over 500. this is just completely different, you can play at low volumes which you can't really do with most tube amps. and you get tons of fx and the ability to record and all kinds of stuff. it's not as good at any one trick as the real one trick tube amps it seeks to emulate, but it has tons of tricks it can do pretty well.

If you dial in the sounds correctly it sounds amazing. I have a Marshall jcm800 and I have them sounding near identical. Obviously I'm not gonna get the 4x12 oompf, but for studio work and smaller gigs it's killer.

Yes, modeling amps have been around for a while, but I think more, and more companies are going to go to this type amp, especially with the success the "SPARK" is having.. It will be interesting to see what other features companies will come up with in the coming years.. Thanks for the video..

You can go as deep into editing anything on this amp as you want to go with one hand.I know because have 2 Mustang III’s and a GT,all 100 waters.Love these amps.The GT comes in for a lot of crap on the net,but if you’ve done the updates,it sounds great.Plus the damn controls are on the front of the amp,so you can see and adjust everything while sitting.That’s the only reason I don’t have a GTX.Enjoy Max always.

Early Mustang were good for clean tones, last GT I didn't particularly care for and it went back. I bought a Katana for practice and it sounds really good. I will pick up one of these when I can find a clean used one with the footswitch for around $350.

I thought, "Another cheap Celestion with Fenders name on it". (It looks just like a Seventy 80). But when I heard the TONES. Fender did their homework. I usually yank stock speakers. But maybe not this one. It's a speaker that's "transparent". It doesn't "add" it's OWN sound. And 100 watts gives it the headroom and power to crank it out. The few tones you gave us all sounded great! I was all set to buy a Super Champ V2. Then THIS comes along! $100 more, but 85 more watts! ( Currently own an old Princeton). Keep the new gear vids coming. I like YOUR take on things.
