Customer Reviewsfrom Canastota, N.Y. May 21, 2012 Music Background: Musician/Singer Fender Mustang 1 Amp was excellentThe Fender Mustang 1 Amp was an excellent buy for me. It had enough power for what I needed it for and great quality with nice features.from May 21, 2012 My son loves it.My son loves his new Fender Mustang amp. He is always playing on his guitar making new effect sounds.Thank you from Charlotte, NC April 3, 2012 Music Background: Been a live sound engineer, now I'm a hobbyist Best 100$ I've spent in yearsIt's truly amazing what this little amp can do. Highly recommend using the computer software, too - quite a bargain. Compared to when I bought my first amp - a Twin - in the sixties(!) the cost to versatility ratio of this little box is mind blowing.from Las Cruces, New Mexico March 20, 2012 Music Background: beginner musician Amazing AmpThis amp was amazing, great tone and a great set of built in effects. Another neat thing about this amp is you can record tracks directly to your computer with a usb cord.from Cantonment,Fl. February 26, 2012 Music Background: semi-pro The best $99 you'll ever spend!This amp sounds really good!Would have been a great deal without the free software,but that just sweetens the deal.The fuse software is easy and cool.from Greater Cincinnati February 26, 2012 Music Background: Playing bass professionally for 35 yrs., slide guitar for five. Love my Fender Mustang 20I've only had this little beaut for a few weeks, but I can't stop turnin' it on. I received a Cigar Box guitar (with a Gibson style humbucker) for Christmas and this little amp has every tone I could want and then some. I play the CBG mostly with a slide in open tunings and I can get Delta, Chicago, and too many types of distorted tones to list all by just using the presets that come installed. I haven't used the included software yet as I'm having too much fun as it is. The software gives you even more customization and access to lots of other players fav presets.Sweet water was and is the most "happy customer" oriented company I have ever dealt with, and I've dealt with countless, both in business and personal transactions. They are almost over the top in their commitment to service. And they shipped this item very, very fast. I couldn't be happier and will look here first for any other items I might need in the future. A++++ recommendation on both the amp and Sweetwater. from Rochester, Pa. February 22, 2012 Music Background: Hobbyist Fits all my needsAs always my experience with Sweetwater was great. As far as my Mustang 1, it's been more than I expected. The Fuse software makes all the difference.Having said all that, my next thing on my wish list is a Bronco 40. If the Mustang can make my Stratocaster sound so good, I can only imagine what the Bronco will do for my Precision and Jazz. Another side note, the people at Fender are really stepping up with support of thes new products. All in all, a fantastic discovery for me. BUY IT! from Fort Worth, TX January 19, 2012 Music Background: 44 Years of Guitar playing Another great Fender AmpI wanted a small practice amp with quality effects, clear sound and a good bite when needed. I'm glad to say this amp meets all my expectations and more. I want to say I'm surprised or blown away, yet I'm not really as I have come to expect this type of quality and inovation from Fender and as usual Fender has delivered. I have a Fender Twin Reverb and the Mustang I has become my go to amp. The possibilities seem endless, the volume level is actually more than I need. I think the Fender Mustang I is one of the best if not the best amp in this category. Try one and you won't have any regrets.from hickory N.C. August 22, 2011 Music Background: trying to learn fastest43 love ItI already had a 20 and 40 i am not real techy ordered Epiphone Les Paul ll. Talking to one of sweetwater's knowlegeable sales person. I played a cd over the phone he told me what seting's to try it was spot on. I am just starting to play again after about 35 year's. Folk's it is not like riding a bicke. I am learning all over again. LET'S ROCK AND ROLL Anybody know shake rattle and roll. Put a spliter on cable and it DID GET LOUD!!!!!!!! OH YEAH loving every minute of it.from AR August 20, 2011 Music Background: Professional Musician Excellent AmpI purchased this amp along with my Strat HSS. I must say, I love this little amp. The effects that are built in are absolutely amazing. It has some of the best sound of any of the newer amps I have played on, and I have played on a lot of ampd. I haven't had a chance to try out the Fender software to download other effects for my Mustang, but rest assured, I will be checking that out as soon as I get a chance. buy it, you won't be dissapointed.from Philadelphia, PA USA January 2, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist, student Omg I just got it and I love it like a womanNo static, sparkling cleans, nasty disgusting distortion, and customizable beyond belief. I mean it's ridiculous how great it sounds. It sounds even better than my guitar rig program. And that has a whole computer behind it! The possibilities are endless when it comes to tweaking your sound. Ugh, it makes my nipples hard when I plug in my iPod and jam along to some Fall Out Boy or Gym Class Heroes or some Slash. Buyer beware, if you buy this amp, you'll probably quit your job and neglect you children because you'll want to play through it ALL DAY LONG!!!from Paradise Ca December 30, 2010 Worth every cent.......You couldn,t ask for a better amp for the money. If you are a techy you will love this thing. And the customer service I recieved to get this buy Christmas was awsome.from Fort Wayne, IN December 28, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist, Student In a word, amazingjust picked this up today; was gonna buy the fender frontman 25r but the guy steered me away from that one and pointed me in the right direction-towards the fender mustang 1. i don't even think it's possible to describe in words how awesome this amp is, but i'll try. fender pretty much took all the guesswork of getting the right tone out of this amp, because all the presets pretty much give you everything you could possibly need, from sparkling cleans to killer crunch. it gives amazing tube-like response for classic rock tones that i love, the reverb adds a nice touch to the sound, and the built-in tuner is especially handy. this is my second amp, and probly my last amp; it's got eveything any player needs.from Texas December 18, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist, now that the kids are grown and I can afford it. My honest opinonJust buy it.Worth every penny. Remember, it's 20 watts. If you want more, get the the Mustang 2. It's just a tad bit digital sounding. but if you want the real sound of say a '65 twin reverb, then you have to be a real one. I doubt that anyone that's not a heavy fan of a specific amp would be able to tell the difference though. This is a great way of learning what it is that you do or do not like in an amp, without having to actually buy them all. It's also a great practice or jamming amp. But honestly, with everything that it does and everything that you get, why not buy it? You know you've spent more on a pedal! from Boston MA USA November 27, 2010 Music Background: 40 years a player - also did some live sound installs Amazing value for the moneyI agree with all the kudos of the prior reviews. I happened to wish that it had a 10" speaker rather than 8". I'd gladly pay more for the difference. It actually looks like some 10" speakers would fit, but that would invalidate the warranty. The headphone output with the speaker simulation is phenomenal. I used a pair of $300 595's and I was amazed at how good the various Fender amp emulations were. The ergonomics of adjusting effects by knob could be better, but that's what the USB port is for. Overall this is a benchmark for the $100 class.from New Mexico October 7, 2010 Music Background: active musician Fender just knocked a home run...I was very skeptical about these Mustang amps when I first saw them. I've never been a big fan of Fender's solid state offerings, especially on the smaller side of things.I tried one of these, along with the Mustang II and was completely blown away. First thing that I noticed was that the controls for both amps are exactly the same. Same models, same effects, etc. So, if you just want the smaller model, you do not have to sacrifice features. And features this amp has! PLENTY of tone and volume. I cranked it all the way up, expecting it to sound horrible. To my surprise...it still sounded good! Love the effects, and there are other models that you can download from their website. Very nice design, well built, but fairly lightweight. LOVE having the knobs on the front side of the amp. For $99....this amp kills anything in it's price range. Great job Fender! from Chula Vista, CA, USA October 3, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist Fender Mustang 1 review$99.99?? you've got to be kidding. It's got all the details and bells and whistles people have been asking for, in fact I can't even imagine what else could be added to it. No, it's not a revised Frontman, and it even has a closed back to give you better bass response.I don't think a person could ever get bored with it, there's more you can do with it than any little combo on the market. It doesn't sound like a Marshall stack- but you know that if you're looking for a small combo.from Texas February 16, 2012 Music Background: Playing for 38 years Loaded for bear; has all the bells and whistlesThis unit has all the bells and whistles of many larger units. With personal headphone jack it is perfect is for practice or an intimate room performance. I love it!from Virgin Islands November 4, 2011 Music Background: Pro Musician More than I expectedI bought this amp based on the reviews, and I was not disappointed. It is a wonderful piece of equipment, well worth the price. I play mostly jazz and R&B, with the occasional soft rock thrown in. I have been using this amp for gigging...just put a Shure SM57 in front of it, it sounds wonderful...and I leave my pedals at home.from SC September 7, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist Great little ampThis is the best sounding practice amp. The amp modelingis also pretty good for direct recording. Also the built-in effects are some of the best sounding ones I've heard. I especially like the delays and reverb. The Fuse software for editing presets works pretty good. Wish there were more user memory banks on the amp itself and a functional footswitch for switching tones. Great value for $99. from Huntington IN April 25, 2012 Music Background: Just strummin for fun at home. Mustang I by FenderNice price, great sound, love the ability to tweak settings online and make any adjustments I want. I'm not that experienced with all the major brands, so I can't comment towards other tones and sounds, but I think this one is a great amp for the money.from Philadelphia, PA April 9, 2012 Music Background: Pro Musician, Instructor, Recording Engineer, Studio Manager Versatile and Powerful Little AmpI run a music lesson studio and Rock Band program and these amps are great for everything we do. You can get a nice clean sound (Bassman or Twin) or you can get some crunch with the British and American channels. I use the presets for almost everything, but it is pretty simple to create some of your own "patches". All around, it's the best beginner or practice amp I have used and I now have 6 of these amps in the studiofrom Speedway Indiana March 8, 2012 Music Background: Jazz Guitar Great little ampThis little amp is better than I thought it would be. I'ts great for practice and small one room gigs, like resturant parties. You can't beat the price!!from March 1, 2012 OldpickerArlTXThis little amp has so many settings and can get loud & proud!!!Light weight, too! from Trenton, TN USA December 9, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist Fender Mustang1It is just what I wanted. It is loud and clear and very simple to operate.I would recommend it to anyone. Sweetwater is a great company to buy from. from Pacific Grove, CA October 13, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist Look what $100 can get you!Since moving into a new place with a garage, my wife had requested that I put all of my noise making (guitar) equipment into the garage to play, etc. It's been great to have a dedicated space where I can let rip, but I found that I was missing my bedroom/livingroom guitar playing time. So, I decided to purchase a cheapo practice amp for the house. I've played through a ton of other modelling amps and even had one of the really early Vox Valvetronix amps that I liked. I picked this because 90% of my favorite amp sounds are fender and this range has the best Fender sounds out of the competition that I've tried including the Peavey Vypyrs, Vox Valvetronix and Line 6 amps.I'm shocked at what $100 can buy you. This thing has features up the wahzoo, some of which are great like the on board tuner and reverb/effects. Not to mention all of the amp models. I think the features are both a blessing and a curse in that for me, I won't end up using a lot of the models on here. However, I absolutely LOVE the Twin model and the 59 bassman. I also like the Supersonic model. I'll probably use the other models rarely or never. Likewise, I probably won't use most of the effects, though I do like the reverb and delay options. Fortunately, the interface is super easy to work with and I don't feel burdened by the features. The sound quality is frankly incredible for $100. I don't think that you could expect more out of a little practice amp and if you like Fender sounds, this is the one to pick. The 20 watt 1 x 8" version is more than powerful enough for what I need. I'm not using this to gig at all. from February 8, 2011 Heck of a DealFor $99 bucks this thing is amazing. All you could ever ask for in a versatile little amp that does some great modeling.
