Howdy, Nick Reinhart here.
Today I'm talking about the new Fender Mustang GT amp series.
It's one of Fender's popular amps, and they've taken it, and updated it,
and improve it, with the right combination of vintage sounds, and new technology.
First we're starting with the GT 100, which is a 100 watt,
one 12 inch Celestion side.
It's a beautiful guitar amp, great for recording purposes,
also live smaller stages.
You won't believe how light this thing is, there's new signal processing,
much higher fidelity.
It's very authentic sounding, with a very detailed signal path flexibility,
which just leads to lots of sounds, and tones, and all that kind of good stuff.
So with the updated amp modelling, Fender really took the time to get these
sounds as close to the original amps as possible.
And who better to recreate classic Fender sounds then Fender themselves, obviously.
All of the amps come loaded with tons of awesome presets,
including all the classics like the 65 Deluxe.
Also new stuff that they've added like the 57 Bandmaster,
61 Brown Deluxe, plus all the British amps, all the classic modern amps.
Basically, anything you can imagine tone-wise can be created in this amp.
Each model is very touch sensitive, and super responsive to your dynamic playing,
which is crazy coming out of a digital amp, and
it just makes it that much more fun to play.
Now I'm going to show you some of the variety of tones you can get out of
the Mustang.
All these presets come
loaded on the amp.

Lots and lots of new amazing
effects built into this amp.
I'm an effect person, I'm obsessed with pedals and sounds.
And there's so many cool things that you can get out of this little amp,
as opposed to having a pedal collection of hundreds and
hundreds of things on shelves taking up space.
The signal path flexibility is really cool,
because it's really simple to just rearrange the signal of your pedals.
You can have the pedals coming before the amp, or
having the pedals coming after the amp.
That's all massive for pedal nerds.
And then there's in fact stacking,
which allows you to use multiples of the same effect.
Another new feature on this amp, is the big beautiful LCD screen,
and control panel.
It's really user friendly, intuitive scroll through to get to your
different amp presets, come down here, add different amps,
add different sounds, and then come down here to adjust all of those options.
And then you have your standard knob configuration,
which you'd find on just about any guitar amp.
There's also an XLR line out for recording and
capturing all these awesome sounds you're getting directly from the amp.
Now let's check out a preset I made that I happen to be very proud of.
It's got some sounds that I've never really heard before, it's called dot,
dot, dot.
I started with a compressor going into this rad chorus, called the sign chorus,
it's my favorite out of all the different courses included.
Then we get into the 65 Twin, from there there's a chromatic pitch shifter,
which is shifted like a fifth but doubled.
And then into a really, really neat multi-tap,
that is set to do I think four repeats right now,
and it sound something like this.

Okay, so one of the coolest things about this guitar amp,
is the ability to control it with a smartphone app called Fender tone.
It's the first time Fender's ever used this technology,
to control an actual guitar.
What I love about the Fender tone app is all of your effects.
All of your amp settings are just right there, super simple to adjust.
It's bright, it's clean, it's real time editing.
It's all really, really simple and user friendly.
The Mustang GT is Fender's first WiFi, and Bluetooth enabled guitar amp.
So what that means is, you're going to get upgrades, pre-set auditions, and access to
the whole Fender digital ecosystem for learning, and sharing very easily.
And without cables, it's all wireless.
So you're not losing cables or using antiquated chords or something.
It's all wireless, and
with each upgrade it's like getting all brand new gear in one box.
Okay, now we're sitting with the GT 40 which is a smaller amp.
It's perfect for learning songs, working on your chops,
small enough for desktop workspaces, bedrooms, all those tiny places.
It's got a lot of similar functionality to the 100 and 200,
except this one is 40 watt, and it's got two six inch speakers.
One of the best features for
practicing guitar is the Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, which allows you
to connect any Bluetooth device to the guitar amp, and play music through it.
So, you could play along to your favorite songs,
your favorite guitar player, tracks.
Anything that you can play through a Bluetooth device,
can be played through the amp, and you can play along to it.

So, in addition to the wireless Bluetooth audio streaming technology all of
the GT amps have chromatic tuners, they have headphone jacks for
late night solo jam sessions, and USB recording outputs.
This, my friends is the Mustang GT 200.
Awesome for bigger places and larger stages,
it's loaded with two 12 inch Celestion speakers, 200 watts.
It's light, you're not going to break your back lugging it all over the place.
One of the key differences with this versus the 40 and the 100 is that,
it comes with a foot pedal where that's optional with the other amps.
With the foot pedal, it's great for effects, great for looping, and
amp control.
Also features stereo XLR line out options for recording flexibility.
