The Mustang's best sounds are achieved running the preamp models at fairly low channel volumes (between 2 and 6 depending on the amp model) so you'll run out of headroom quickly when dialed in a such a fashion. Volume-wise, the Mustang can't remotely begin to keep up with any of them. If you put a little effort into it, you can actually get better cleans than the Nomad or F and one that is pretty on-par with the Express. Honestly, the Mustang sounds amazingly good clean. I have a Mustang III and was able to directly compare it to both a Nomad 45, F50 and Express 5:50. I wouldn't sell a Mark III (I have three) to get a Mustang, but for grab-n-go, I'd prefer one (or two) over an Express.Īctually, yes.

There are not a bazillion parameters and menus, which for me is a plus. The foot switch is programmable for choices other than simple pre-set up/down. Easy to tap in delay time on the amp.Īnd.you can fiddle with rectifier "sag" and adjust "bias" on all of the amp models. I just used the '63 Fender reverb unit sim with some slap-back. The reverbs are very good, delays decent if you're not hung up on dotted-eighths, etc. Yes, you can mix and match amps and cabs, and turn the cab sims off totally. ![]() Having owned the DRRI, the digital simulation is darn good. ![]() Now, I lean toward a (slightly cranked) Deluxe Reverb with the stock speaker, with my own overdrive pedal in front. I'm not one to use 12 different amp models in one night.Įnded up with a Twin Reverb into a 4 x 10 Bassman cab. Only had the 2-button foot switch, but the interface is stoopid easy, even for a dyed-in-the-wool-I'll-never-use-anything-but-my-Mark III guy like myself. ![]()
