Re: Fender Mustang III
You might want to take a look at this recent thread. I've got a Mustang II on its way. Should be fun to play with. The III seems to have an upgraded speaker as well as an LCD display panel for some of the presets. Of course, if you do a little research, you'll find that you can hook up your computer and adjust and change the presets to make you happy.
All this coming from a guy that builds tube amps. Nothing wrong with a little solid state modeling love.

Re: Fender Mustang III
The Mustang will do a lot of things for you at the garage band level. The Fender amp models are superb, in my opinion. For hard rock stuff, you'll love the Super Sonic mode.
There are some pretty good downloadable sounds, but you might have more fun tweaking the amp models yourself. The Fuse software it comes with is great and gives you amp tweaks like "bias", "sag" settings, tons of speaker cab emulations to play with and there are a bunch of effects are really good overall.

Re: Fender Mustang III
I have the Fender Mustang III and I love it! I get alot of different tones from it and can play with her all day. You won't find a better amp under $300.

Re: Fender Mustang III
i really freakin like these things
best tube emulation i've heard out of a modeler besides Vox Valvetronix (which cheats by actually using tubes :smokin
and it comes with Fuse and Ableton -- holy ****ing crap if I had that **** in high school I would've recorded a dozen albums by now.
the I and II are EXCELLENT practice amps -- the III and IV probly sound better than most dudes playing out on 100w tube heads they can't crank up.
i'm still stoked using my Marshall Class 5 for bedroom practice since i've been playing for 10 years and accumulated tons of pedals and crap to get all the tones i want...but i've been putting off buying recording equipment for years because i just knew somebody would make something better and cheaper than what's been out.
between the quality of the sounds, variety of sounds, the downloadable extras, and the free recording software...every new guitarist gets one (i refuse to ring-up a Line 6 Spider or Peavey Vypyr until going over every detail of the Mustang) and most experienced players could probably use one.
i was gona get a Line 6 M13, an interface, and some software to make it all work and get some recordings done...now I can go buy the $99 Mustang and **** it.

Re: Fender Mustang III
I made my wife laugh by putting on the "Twin Surf" preset and did a really bad Dick Dale lick and it was convincing enough I guess. The Twin models are nice if you really want to know what your GUITAR sounds like. Crystal clean, unless you crank the gain, like their supposed to be. There are variations like the Princeton and Deluxe Reverb, as well as the Twin. They all sound like I remember the real ones sounding.
The British 80's (JCMxxx) is starting to grow on me. You can't get anything =VH= with the "British 70's (Plexi?)" but you can with the JCM model. It has the bite and if you set the "sag" to max and boost the mids it's very "Plexi"-ish. Try the "Metal 2000s (6505)" ...the harmonics are INSANE on that one. It's almost comical.

Re: Fender Mustang III
Anyone have the Slash Alnico II pickups and using this amp? Ifso, is there any presets that will get me close to songs such as 1) Back from cali 2) Ghost 3) Mr Brownstone, I know thay are all similar but they do have their subtle differences. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!!
