Steve, you have no idea how much more comfortable it is to just sit on the couch and watch/listen to your explanation compared to actually reading the Fender manual! Thumbs up! ;-)
Now that is funny! I thought you were going to say… “It’s so much nicer sitting on the couch than spending hours filming and edit this video” 😂. Seriously, that’s cool that it is like a video version of the manual for you. Glad it was helpful, and thanks for spreading the word!
@@SteveGuitar I got the gtx 50 a week ago. Love the sound and the build quality but the app and amp have major sync issues. Bluetooth connection takes shutting the amp on and off sometimes 3 - 4 times to connect and a lot of times when you make preset changes in the app , the amp is still hung and not responding. Unbelievable that fender can't put a decent bluetooth radio in the amp. The other thing I really dislike is that most of the newer amps take up so much processing power that you can in a lot of cases only add like 3 total effects.
Sz Ki Hey, I’ve heard about some of these issues but haven’t really experienced many of them myself. I agree, the Bluetooth isn’t perfect, and sometimes mine just doesn’t connect quickly, but I have very few issues overall. What type of device are you using?

Still, you may find solutions or at least some overall help there. There’s a ton of great questions and answers, and experts. Hope that helps!
@@allboutthemojo Most people experiencing these problems have pretty old/outdated devices and it seems to happen way more often on Android than on iOS. What devices do you use?
@@SteveGuitar Thanks. I will take a look. I'm using s8 plus with the latest android version and updated the amps firmware immediately. Wifi connected no problem. Bluetooth and app are constantly buggy.
Was hoping I didn’t have to rearrange a whole bunch of presets to get my favorites in a row for this footswitch! Now I know I can just pull up my Favorites set list and select from there. Great video!
Thanks for the Video ! Learned how to stack a Pre-Set list, and other things. Will look for your "Looper" video next. I subscribed. Figure I need all the help that I can get with some of the newer effect gadgets.
nice video! The very annoying thing about setlist mode is that whenever you change any parameter on the preset or use the tuner, the amp automatically exits from setlist mode!!! Fender needs to update this
These are amazing. My friend runs one with a MonoPrice tube amp through the effects loop. The Mark ll and Bassman sound dope. All the effect pedals especially the drive even rival my TS or RAT. No kidding
Thanks for the video, I did not use the setlist option before, just rearranged everything. Only annoying thing is if you use the build in tuner from the pedal and go back, it moves back to the standard presets, instead of the setlist... anything to resolve this?
I just bought a gtx-7 button foot switch and it’s not going well. I want to use it to play 5 presets instead of the 3 in the 4 button one. I try to set a preset but it’s just going from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. I’m trying to set ones like 44, 73, 52 like that. Not go through each one individually. Please help.
I think what you need to do is create a set list. You can have any five presets in your set list, and once you activate it from the amplifier, then the foot switch controls those five instead of 1 2 3 4 5
That Fender amp sounds very good, and obviously is jam-packed with features. I just bought a Boss Katana II 100 watt that I think might just go back to the store for a trade.😊. I had a lesser wattage and earlier Fender Mustang II that sounded horrible to me and was not easy to use. This Fender amp is definitely quite different in a good way! That foot switch is icing on the cake!
Awesome comment. I also bought the katana 50, and I just never really liked the clean tones compared to a good fender amp. So I sold it 🤣 And yes, these mustangs are way better than their first generation ones. They did some major firmware updates, and they sound great now. Thanks for watching!
Nice Video Steve!! I was curious so I had to try out the Setlist tip you were referring to. That's interesting. It would be really nice if you could "select" a setlist from the mobile app. The other thing is how do you get past the 1st 5 in the setlist? When I tried holding down the bank button it threw me out of the setlist mode and back into regular mode (maybe I did something wrong). Another tone idea would be to explain how to use the 2290 delay with the dotted 8th to get close to what Edge is doing on the Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree. Not sure how many out there are U2 nuts but I am. Keep the videos coming, loved the editing on Gatsby :)
pat brown thanks Pat, I’m glad you like the Gatsby stuff. I thought I would just have a little fun there. About U2, I love the Joshua Tree album. My “Clean 4“ tone has the dotted eighth, though I’ve never been awesome at that type of delay. And I think you are right about getting booted out of the set list. I’m not sure, so I hope someone else can chime in. I think you can only have your first five in a set list show up on the pedal. I haven’t fully explored that yet.
Very cool, John. Thanks for watching. And I’m not an expert on everything, but I believe the answer here is to use the “studio preamp“ for both the amplifier and the cab. That’s the cleanest, non-affected signal for your use case, if I’m correct. Hope that helps!
I think I am getting this. I have other devices that I want more than gtx amp but Fender Tone has lots of presets that I could just download straight to the amp. The pricing is just a bit expensive that you can just buy the headrush mx5 instead.
Hello Steve, I love your videos I recently purchased the GTX 50 myself and stumbled across your TH-cam channel. I love learning more of what you’re posting so keep it up please. I’m also wondering have you had any Bluetooth connectivity issues? I’ve reached out to Fender but have not heard back and it’s glitchy. It seems like every time I turn off the amplifier the Bluetooth disconnects from my iPhone and then I have to unpair and pair he Bluetooth to have the functionality work bThere might be a problem with my amplifier; however, I didn’t know if you ran into any problems with your GTX 50?
Hi Fram. I had bluetooth issues as well. I did get a response from Fender and they sent me a link tone-support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003535366-I-m-having-problems-streaming-audio-over-Bluetooth-to-my-Mustang-GT-or-Rumble-digital-amp-and-also-using-the-Tone-app-everything-seems-slow . I think the issues with connectivity come from using the Fender Tone amp and playing tracks through the amp via bluetooth at the same time. The amp connects twice to your device and causes confusion for the connection. This is not ideal but hopefully Fender can doe something about it in the future.
@@curtis100 Hello Curtis, thanks for your input on this issue. However, I'm having issues just connecting Bluetooth with the APP (iOS). I have to "pair" the phone with the Amp every time I turn it on. I have no issues until I shut off the amp and try to play next time. Ironically, I returned it because I was not receiving a response from Fender. Though Fender just emailed me today; nonetheless, without any solution. I took it into the Guitar Center where I purchased it and they were having similar issues. I figured I'd wait until I got a response because I didn't want to find out there was a problem with the amp and be stuck with it. I've been using so many of the modeling tones that its a lot more convenient to change through the app than scrolling through the menu. I really love the sound and had so much fun playing with all the tones.
Hi, if this video didn’t really explain what you’re after, I guess I suggest checking out the manual. Really, you just delete some existing presets that come with the amp and then save your new ones there. And you can create setlists with any preset you want.
Was told by Musicians Friend music store that this pedal would work with my Fender LT40S amp- tried the MS4 pedal which is not compatible, this would be my second try for a foot switch compatible with my amp- keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks for explaining this. Will be getting the GTX100 soon when my refund gets here. How bout doing a distortion pedal through one of those clean channels? 🎸🎸🎸
Good call, I’m thinking about doing some videos where I put petals in front of the amp, such as overdrive in front of a clean model. Might be a little while, but stay tuned…
very cool , i've recently got one here in France, no demos in french so yours help me a lot ! could you if possible give us some presets for sounds you have made like the metal one you are using in this video :) thank you .
Thanks! Glad you like them, and if you search for SteveGuitar on the fender tone app, you’ll find all my custom tones, including Metal, Hard Rock, Eric Johnson, and maybe my favorite: Foo Fighters, which is a nice hard rock tone (see my “On the hunt” wolf jam track where you can hear it in action)
Actually, I’m not sure about that. You may need to check the manual or see if someone else chimes in here. There’s also a really good Facebook forum. I believe the answer is yes, the sound still comes out, but there may be a switch to give you the option. I do know that when you use the headphone output jack, it mutes the amplifier speaker.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but I know that the GTX 50 and 100 amplifiers accept both the GTX 7 footswitch and the previous four button footswitch from the GT series, but I don’t know about combining both footswitches into the amplifier.
Is there a latency when switching to a clean amp to a dirty amp. For example my patch 1 does have a clean sound then patch 2 is a dirt sound. Is there a latency? Thanks in advance.
Hi Gerard, I saw the latency you're talking about in the video, but I'm going to test it again and see if that's just because of my video filming. I'll let you know!
@@gerardmariano2556 OK, I just gave it a test, and to me, there is no delay or latency at all. I think sometimes the number on the display of the foot switch doesn’t change instantly, but the tone changes the moment I press the button. I tried it with all 5 foot switches, and they all felt very instant to me. Sounds great!
🤣🤣🤣 I know, too short! I’ve played other Marr stuff in other videos. And I’m publishing a simple backing track to “Some girls are bigger ...” on my other channel this week: th-cam.com/channels/kHdUitQSetiCpziqeC8DAw.html 😎

How is it powered ? Batteries? or separate power supply?
Hi. My mustang GTX 100 is stuck on the logo. I upgraded my modem/router and now I can't even get to the main menu. Any ideas?
Thank you very much for this introduction. Is their a possibilty to register Loops in a bank and so later use them again?
Thanks! And I wish, but it holds one Loop at a time, and it disappears when you turn the amp off
Dry crunch is the one I use most

Steve Guitar awesome i’m also tossing up between buying one of these or a tone master deluxe reverb thoughts ??
what was the song he played on dry crunch
Hey, I don’t know exactly what song it is, but it’s basically a Stevie Ray Vaughan riff. I think it may be a rough adaptation of his “Scuttle Buttin”
