![]() ![]() The connectivity options are impressive claimed to be the world’s first wifi-equipped digital guitar amps, the GTs allow you to download firmware updates and share presets wirelessly but the big news is that speedy and stable Bluetooth LE support enables you to programme the amp and edit sounds remotely and on the fly using the free Fender Tone app on your Android or iOS smartphone.Īs well as sculpting your core sound or auditioning presets, the clean and easy-to-use Fender Tone app allows for deep editing of under-the-hood features that are a tweaker’s delight such as bias and sag.Īs you might expect, classic Fender amplifiers are well-represented among the onboard models and a wide range of iconic amplifiers from the company’s glittering history are modelled including a brown Deluxe, blackface Twin Reverb, tweed Champ, Bassman and plenty more besides. The sleek enclosures bear a familial resemblance to Fender’s smart-looking Acoustic amp range launched at Winter NAMM in January 2017, and as well as neatly integrated handles and recessed control panels, you get 21 newly-upgraded amp models, 46 effects and a clean and easily legible colour LCD display. The GT 100 takes a whole lotta tech from the home to the stage with 100 watts harnessed to a 12-inch Celestion Special Design speaker while the GT 200 doubles the power and speaker complement for a massive 200-watts of ’Stang. The GT 40 is the most compact and living room or bedroom-friendly of the trio, and it pumps 40-watts out of a pair of 6.5-inch drivers. The range comprises three models, two of which we’re looking at here. ![]() Whether it’s connecting to your telephone, interacting with an online community of music-makers, downloading presets designed by Fender artists or your getting in touch with your own creativity, the idea behind these new Mustang GT amplifiers is that they are about making a connection. Products such as Line 6’s AMPLIFi had proven that wireless control of amplifier functionality was more than just a gimmick and the stage was set for Fender to weigh in. Earlier this year, when we found out that Fender was planning a major overhaul of its Mustang amp range, it seemed like high time. However, as anyone with shares in MySpace will tell you, the problem with cutting edge technology is that it ages rapidly. ![]() September 2010 saw the Big F redeploy the Mustang moniker best known for its use on short-scale 60s student instruments and assign it to a range of digital amplifiers heavy on features and innovation and light on the wallet. Back in 2006, when YouTube and Facebook were in their infancy and smartphones weren’t that smart, the Fender G-Dec (‘Guitar Digital Entertainment Center’) combined modelled amp tones with effects, backing tracks, drum loops and a whole lot more besides. Although there’s plenty of competition around these days, Fender has been in the digital practice/lifestyle amp business longer than most. ![]()
