FenderMustang GTX50 Guitar Amplifier

Bought the Fender Mustang GTX-100 back when it was on sale for $374.99 (nearly down to the same price as the GTX-50). Definitely a great sounding amp that comes with 189 built in presets and 11 spots left blank to customize from the ground up to be saved as a preset (and any of the 189 Presets can be easily edited or deleted to make room for more spots to customize presets). In my opinion at least half of the built in presets have at least a little something to offer, but there's plenty of lackluster presets as well though but no worries you'll be able to delete all of them and replace them with a custom preset (or presets that are easily downloadable in the Fender Tone app). About half of my presets are the built in ones (though a lot have been heavily modified), around 40% or so are presets I downloaded the other 10% are presets I customized starting from nothing. Also the GTX-100 comes with a GTX-7 foot pedal which can swap between presets, tune your guitar, disable / enable certain effects on a selected preset and (in my opinion) most importantly, is a looper pedal. And obviously this 100 watt 12 inch speaker can get very VERY loud but is also a perfectly fine amp for playing at low volumes in the bedroom. Certainly loud enough to play live shows with no problem. Also a very good amp for recording also, you can connect this amp straight to your pc to directly record. All in all no complaints. I'd even recommend it not on sale with an MSRP of $499.99. I can't imagine any amp out there being anywhere near as good as this one even if you had unlimited money to choose any amp in the world I'd still recommend this one right here over any $1000-$3000 amp they simply aren't as versatile as the GTX-100 ( / GTX-50). Can produce just about any tone imaginable. Pair it with a decent guitar (or not, this amp even makes cheap LQ guitars sound stellar) and you've got a setup to last you a lifetime. No need to worry about cabinets or pedals / pedalboards, this amp has dozens upon dozens of digital pedals and cabinets built right in (even has close to 40 amps to choose from as well). So all in all for $500 you're getting nearly 40 amps, nearly 40 cabinets and lord knows how many pedals (well over 40) all included inside one amp. And (for it's size) it's not too terribly heavy so it's really not too troublesome to transport. Definitely highly recommend to just about anyone who plays the electric guitar in any capacity.

I got my GTX100 in last week, and I've had a few hours to sit down and play with it. This amp is great. The single 12" driver inside the cabinet moves more air than expected. This amp isn't very large, but it's VERY loud. In fact, I have to keep it dialed back most of the way just to keep it at a reasonable level. I've been drumming since I was a child, and recently I switched over to digital drums to alleviate the noise caused by playing an acoustic drumset. This GTX100 would have absolutely overpowered my former drumset if one chose to "gig" with it. It may not be an "arena" amp (But that's what PA's are for), but it will do for home, studio and club-sized venues. It's all the noise you need from beginner to even advanced playing.About the features. 185 pre-programmed presets came upon arrival. I filled the remaining 15 slots with "custom tones" from the Fender Tone3.0 app. This amp has so many tones and pedals built in you can get most any tone you're looking for without any need for additional pedals. Though, with the stereo input / output jacks on that back you CAN add more if you have pedals you like and want to use with it. I've always been a bit of an audio/tone nerd, and this unit keeps me busy and happy just with what is on-board. And the looper is a really fun touch to have for just fooling around at home.I've not tried every amp out there (who has?), but now that I have this, I won't be trying any others. There's no need. I can get more than I'd ever want out of this unit. If you tried the old "LT" line of Mustang amps, this is beyond better and worth the upgrade. The ONLY criticism I have of the unit is the Tone3.0 app. The old "LT" mustang amps could USB into your PC and you could control the amp and it settings from your desktop / laptop PC. This new tone3.0 app cannot connect to PC. It ONLY connects to Android / Apple products (so phones and tablets). Which isn't horrible, but I preferred the old PC interface rather than having to mess with my phone / tablet. I hope they change that, but I doubt they will since so many seem to like phone/tablet integration over PC (so it's just an issue with how I prefer to use it, not that the app itself is "bad").Beyond that? Watch some video reviews if you're still on the fence. The unit is absolutely worth picking up if you can spare the money on a new piece of gear.

Was on the market for a new amp after having sold all of mine after college just to make space. Don’t need anything crazy loud, just something that sounds good. For that, I opted for this amp as most I found in Reverb were used and would cost more with shipping. Man am I glad I made that choice! The three guitars I play through this amp are a Jackson professional DK2, Gibson SG, and a Gretsch hollow body that I also recently picked up. There are presets that sound great for all three. Even better, you can edit any preset or save any of your own in the 30 extra slots. A quick google search will point you towards communities of players who have made numerous documents outlining how to capture specific player/song tones and sounds using the settings on this amp. It has throughly been a joy to play with and mess around on. If you are looking for an inexpensive guitar that can produce a wide range of tones, this is your guy. If you already have pedals, they sound great through the “Fender Clean” channel (if you don’t want to put them on top of pre looped effects in the presets). I would recommend anyone looking at more inexpensive or cheaper practice amps to spend a little extra money to get this. It can handle the increase in your playing skill over time, where other practice amps around this price range (and lower) will not. Your ears will thank you.

One of the best sounding, and built quality amps I had yet. It does get pretty loud, also has great presets that you can add more. Was well worth the $200 bucks. For being a 40 watt amp it’s a beast of an amp, and the weight is pretty good for its size. Also like the metal or presents like that have good distortion. 5 stars.
