The mids are likely controlled similarly to how they are controlled on the previous generation of Mustangs. You hold down "Exit" and turn the treble knob to adjust mids on the Mustang 2/3/4/5. I'd guess they have something similar on the GT40.

I use it mostly for my clean tones but also have a ton of dirty channels. Would not recommend it if you're trying to emulate a half stack, the distortion is good, but nothing beats the real deal.

[@Ender111]

@@nueto8864 oh yeah, you can chain quite a few of them together, and in almost any order you want as far as I know.

[@AtifMetal]

I guess the point of these videos are to show new players interested in playing metal how easy it can be to get a useable metal tone from these amps. Seems like he was struggling so if it was me i'd look at another amp instead :)

[@chriswilliamson9030]

Just like Atif said. This is a heads up for new players because I think now that Ola owns a guitar company, he understands that generation z isn't buying guitars and music schools are giving less and less lessons than they used to. This is kinda serious when you think about it. Kids aren't picking up guitar as much as they used to. This is actually pretty dangerous for music. You might think thats silly. But guitar playing gear heads will fucking die sooner than the masses of generation z kids. So incentivizing is super important. In this economy, when the industry gives the impression that you need to spend 6 grand to start sounding metal. Kids will go "my parents cant afford that" and go back to playing fortnite and focus their interests on becoming a twitch streamer instead. Now more than ever, we need cheap amps that sound ok, easy to learn lessons, and cheap guitars that stay in tune and sound good. Otherwise. Guitar based music goes away and gets replaced by a plugin.

[@KaoswareMetal]

I fully agree dude. We need small and cheap amps. But I hink there are better options than this one for metal tone.

[@thedeadxtras9927]

I totally get these amps aren’t for everyone, cos a lot of guitarist are impatient and wanna just plug in quickly and get the sound you want. Like anything once you get to know the layout of the mustangs user interface of parameters built into these amps they’re not difficult to use, it is possible to set up a desired tone pretty quickly when you know what you want. Having various amp & cab models plus stomp, modulation, delay, reverb FX built in, you have a vast range of possibilities, obviously if you willing to work with your gear, setup & design the tones you want, mainly your favoured primary tones, it’s simple, for me I’d have probably 3-4 setup tones I’d use then be stomp individual FX when needed. For the money you’ve got majority of effects you’d really ever need, I get many prefer individual separate pedal FX which is every player’s personal preference and everyone’s different, but if you want it it’s all their under one hood. You either love or hate, willing to work with it or not. Suitable for some peoples needs others can’t be arsed and find it complicated, which to me is laziness and deep diving into parameter pages on amps, synths, technology, studio production gear is all part of the fun and enjoyment when writing, recording, producing, engineering a track, sound synthesis of any instrument is part of the creativeness process coming up with your own tunes and developing your own tones that give you your own personal and bands style and tones that makes it you. I definitely never set out or want to sound like any other band or musicians I like or have gone before. I’ve worked and played with so many musicians in the past that only play in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan or Hendrix, copy exact guitar, amp, pedals and even sand guitar straps they used!!! To me that’s boring and is nothing original.

[@emperialdeath5622]

That’s the amp I use, mine sounds like Death’s symbolic album

[@goliathfx]

Legend as always. Blackstar next?

[@AdamCheong]

2:13 if you have something else plugged into the AUX like drum track or something the master will make that louder / quieter but the volume will affect the guitar only

[@rick-vista1612]

I dont know if the GT is way too different from the LT (looking both of these side to side they almost look exactly the same), but I own a LT25 and volume is for the preset only, master is for the speaker (or headphones) but only for the guitar signal, and if you connect your pc or phone or keyboard via aux, master does not affect the aux output at all (i've tried), the aux volume is only affected by adjusting the volume on your device (pc or smartphone or keyboard or rhytm box, etc.) so thats cool. Still is kind of a bummer that no middle noob, the LT50 does have it, but anyway

[@ALeXA4L3X5816]

Legend has it that the timer is till going on to this day

[@CliffKant]

I own Mustang GT200 and initially I didn’t like the tone at all. It took some time messing with the EQs and all the settings and now I’m able to get the tone that I want. But just hooking it up and playing is not what it is designed for. And I play Schecter Sun Valley 7 string through it and it does have a good bass unlike what most comments say.

I bought the smallest of the original Mustang amps new. I will say it nailed the Fender Champ tone (5F1). I a/b'd it with a 58 Champ and the only audible difference was the "obnoxious tail end fizz" as it soon became known on the Mustang. Fender sorted it out with a firmware upgrade but as I had the real deal I sold the Mustang. The other issue with the Mustang was the amp model select knob. When the amp was cranked the cab vibration would make the amp change sims. Others on various gear forums mentioned it as well. These new Mustangs probably have that sorted out. Anyhow I'll stick with analog amps.
