The gtx100 is a monster. I love everything about it. Any tone you could think of... all in one combo amp. Even the acoustic simulation sounds great. Great buy, and I usually hate fender products
Hey, I am thinking to get the Katana Mk2 Artist or the Blackstar ID60TVP, do you think the Fender is a better bang for the buck. Keep in mind I play mostly heavy stuff (Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Testament, Sepultura, you get the ideea). Let me know please.
I bought this amp yesterday as a ‘practice amp’ (Bluetooth, fender tone app, looper). I own a katana MkII, Stl tonality tonehub and amp/artist packs, neural Dsp, Helix Native, and all the Positive Grid Bias amp 2 and FX2 for reference. This amp has the best high gain tones in a fender modeler to date. You’re able to shut off the cabs and run this into a DAW and use IR‘’s! Further, You can send a line out to a powercab 112 plus and quiet the amp while being able to manage the level out with the channel volume. It sounded so good lmao, especially in stereo. I agree with Lee from Anderton’s and I don’t think anyone models fender amps as well as fender. That sold me in the store, and of course Ola’s “WILL IT CHUG”! Oh, it does. Shit I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do. It’s a keeper. Best wishes all! 🖖🏽🖖🏼🖖🏻🖖🏾🖖🏿🖖
Hi @Rluce75, As @draglinedrummer is asking, I'm so curious about your impression of how the GTX compares to the Katana MKII. Please can you share some feedback? I'm so struggling to decide between the both, and I'm in the way of deciding in favor of Katana due to 1)price here in my country and 2)Anderton's review that showed Katana cut better through the mix for live situations. But the truth is I wish I didn't have to lose wifi, Bluetooth and mobile app capabilities. Thank you!
Do not entertain buying a Fender GTX 100!. After about 18mths mine went dead. Out of warranty, I took it to a great Amp repairman. Fender Australia does not have spare parts. No modules no boards. The amp is now useless.
excellent demo, I'm replacing the Katana 50 with this amp. It seems so easy to dial a great tone. You can modify directly from the amp, compared to the Katana which needs to be connected to the app all the time to benefit the effects and tones. I personally never liked the Katana app, Fender has mastered a great application for an amazing amp
Great demo. Bought the 50. Its a blast. Sounds great. Very versatile fender amp sounds. Not a tube amp. Not meant to compete in that category. Very good modeling amp. Thanks
FINALLY another review of this amp. I am trying to compare this to the Katana Mkii 100. The Katana seemed to be better than the GT but now this GTX line seems like it may have taken the lead.
Yeah and the gtx footswitch has a looper function. The new mk2 seems to have lost that on their foot switch to make room for another fx function which makes no sense to me
As someone who has experience with both, deciding between the two will most likely come down to functionality instead of sound per se. The katana is a really great sounding amp and really shines with grittier tones where I feel the GTX shines more on the Fender cleans. Both take pedals well but the effects are where things differ. The Katana needs to be plugged into a computer to have full customization. You can save a few effects pedals and save presets with tones but you are limited compared to the fender where everything is accessible in the app. I love the katana, especially for a more simplistic set and forget type amp where I have four solid presets with maybe one or two effects I can turn on or off on each preset. I love the fender because I can put it in the bedroom and tinker and play around without having to bring pedals up. I can be creative with it and get far out sounds or just jam a bit on loop with just the guitar. I can do the same with katana but always wanted to use my pedals for more versatility. I don’t need to do that with the fender. If you want a simpler to use design with great sounds but less on-the-fly customization or plan to only use external effect pedals, get the katana. If you want every possible sound you can access via app and only use your guitar with no pedals, get the fender. Hope that helps!
Dude if the first mustang was your first amp....thats a brilliant sounding amp even these days I think. That thing was 1000x better than the solid state 10w crap from the 90's with no efx on it. Its a great time for guitar gear nowadays.
Just so others know, each amp in the app has extra settings inside to adjust things like the sag levels, etc which takes out some of the dark/lower tones that modeling amps usually have, and boosts the presence. (similar to a Katana)
Great demo. Thanks. I really don’t like amps with the controls on the top.... but the app makes it useable. Also, the advantage that this has over the Katana is that it works with iPads and iPhones, rather than having to plug it into a PC. That swings it for me....
Hands down Rob, just ordered this, I never felt like I ever got the best out of my katana, no doubt superb amps, but felt like to get the best from it I’d need to basically have it permanently at the side of the laptop. It’s kind of like being an artist with a store room full of colours, but only space for 8 on your palette at one time
AWESOME! Great playing. Great vid. Great amp. And killer guitar!! This was a lot of fun. Thanks. I'm going to pick one of these up this week-end. Can't wait!
Great demo, just bought the GTX 100 after sealing the deal from watching your review. The functionality of the amp coupled with the ease of use of the app was great and to see yiu build a patch in a few moments was superb. Thanks for the great review and inspiring me to get this amp!
I managed to score a gently used GTX WITH THE FOOTSWITCH for $400. As far as I know it was the ONLY Mustang in the GC used inventory that was available with the footswitch. My new-to-guitar 20-year-old son is scoring my barely used Katana 50. I'm in love with my Stang.
I own the older gt and was happy to see that they updated the firmware to accept the newer 7 button pedal switch...a great upgrade from the four button switch...also this amp is awesome for shoegaze dream pop stuff
That's good to know! Do you use your GT for recording using the USB? If so, how stable is the connection and latency? What I like about these new models is the fact they have XLR output for recording, which it's better than USB. But since you can pick up a GT 40 for £180, half of the price of GTX50, I just wonder if it's still a good amp for recording.
@@JacksonBrooksby Love the feature where you can chose artist/ song preset effects from Fender or Community share??? So great that one doesn't have to struggle with several effects to get the sound of their favorite artists just right. Do you know if this is only a feature available in this Fender GTX series and the positive grid spark amp? No other manufacturers offer this?

Ahhlohas Alohas
Amp sounds amazing...aided considerably by your playing. So it sounds good, but how does it feel? Does it feel like a real amp? Some of these modeling amps don't. They lack the immediacy of a "real" amp.
Yup..very subpar. I had this amp for less than a day and it's going back to GC. Tone wise my cheap humble 15w Monoprice tube amp blows it out the water. There's always this digital artifact that you can't eq out. And the feel...it's lacking. Stick to ur tube amp with pedals cause this is a mere toy in comparison.
Anyone know where I can find a demo of the acoustic sounds? Is this viable for a single amp when the band uses electric and acoustic guitars during the set? I am NOT asking abut "acoustic simulation" like shown here at about 16:00. I am asking about plugging an acoustic guitar with built in piezo pickup.
Is the gtx 50 (the 50watt version) a nice amp for a beginner or a vox or boss would be better? I want to play a lot of rock and metal. Is it boxy as the gt series or did fender fix that?
I would either stick with this or a Boss Katana MK2. If you can get lucky though and search on Reverb.com's used market you can score you a nice used Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, or a Peavey Classic 30 or 50 around the same price. Great tubed amps for beginners and pros alike.
Just found you while watching some Mustang videos. This is sweet! I'm making some new Mustang tone videos too. I'd love to do a collab with you on TH-cam to talk about the new GTX series. Thanks for considering!
Can you add two delays in the same preset? I would like to have a delay very short to shape my sound and add another delay as an effect with many repetitions. Is it possible?
How is this volume-wise for bedroom use? Does the master volume button act like an attenuator? I have a Katana and am considering upgrading to this, but I live in an apartment and I can't make a lot of noise :D
I mostly play along to backing tracks from TH-cam - can anyone vouch for how good backing tracks and audio sounds though this?? He mentions it’s “almost flat response” which makes sense given its a cab IR modeller too. If I could have a modeller amp and audio playback in one unit - plus the foot switch - this would be perfect
Does anybody know if you can run a compressor with a distortion at the same time? Sorry if this was already addressed. This is my 1st ever post on a TH-cam vid btw.
I just got the GTX 50 watt and yes you can! You can do it all on the amps LCD or you can do it on the Fender Tone App. It lets you set up a preset so you choose your amp, then you can add a ton of peddles to the amp chain like in real life. Its pretty cool. You can even add multiples of the same peddle with different settings. From what I can tell they really tried hard to mimic the freedom you have in real life when setting up your sound.
Hey, I am thinking to get the Katana Mk2 Artist or the Blackstar ID60TVP, do you think the Fender is a better bang for the buck. Keep in mind I play mostly heavy stuff (Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Testament, Sepultura, you get the ideea). Let me know please.
General consensus seems to be that the Mustang is brilliant for cleans and edge of breakup, but the Katana probably has the edge when it comes to high gain. I don't know about the Blackstar
I was about to buy it - I love the app and the footswitch with looper - but after watching this video I'm a bit hesitant. It sounds too "boxy" to me... Unless you can fix it with some tweaking
The app lets you turn down the sag level on each amp in the settings, which greatly increases the presence and reduces the darker tones that most modeling amps have when replicating valve distortion tones.
05/30/2020: I have seen reviews where people say the distortion channels are not great. What do you think? Also, does the GTX have a simulated tube tone for this Fender solid-state amp, like the Fender Tone Master has simulated good tube tones?
How do feel it stacks up to say a super champ x2? Have you tried one before? Also compared to the new tone master series amps because I really want the deluxe reverb tone master but I’m only playing at home so it’s a bit much volume & price wise for that/for me right now
Hi, thanks for the video. Is it possibile to use real external pedal, for example a boost and decide to put it at the end of the chain? Does it work like Power AMP without the internal pre? And in this case it works with Mooer GE - Hotone Amper and similar?? Thanks
Honestly the sound I hear of the GTX in the demo is not particularly thrilling. Especially the lows sound shrill and compressed to my ear. It still does not seem to live up to my old Mustang I v2, which has really good Twin Reverb, Bassman and Deluxe sounds. Seems better than the dreadful Mustang GT, which was super light and with interesting connectivity, but almost unusable. I believe that was the price paid for its lightness, but other superlight amps like the Vox VX had much better sounds. Even though I love Fender and their brand I am afraid the Katanas will still be a better option
Fender put out the crappy Mustang GT which was not nearly as good as the Mustang V1 and V2 then they followed that up by pulling the plug on the Fuse software support. They also offered the GT software for your phone only as if anyone was going to take a GT out to gig. You pissed on the customers that made the original Mustang so successful in hope of selling them the bad replacement and now you expect them to buy this? Will you can drop the software support again and leave us hanging like before?

So great that one doesn't have to struggle with several effects to get the sound of their favorite artists just right. Does anyone know if this is only a feature available in this Fender GTX series and the positive grid spark amp? No other manufacturers offer this?
I will never buy another Fender amp, Fender has been in the business longer than anybody. Still don't have modern technology, still using the old type USB connector on the device that has it. Most of the devices don't even have USB, much less Bluetooth. What a shame, Positive Grid Sparks amp is the way you should go more for your money? You can download any tone that you want That actually sounds like the real thing. With Fender you only get what Fender puts on their list. If you want anything else, you have to put it in one step at a time after you find something that will work and hope that it might sound correct after wasting 30 minutes of time.... No more Fender for me, All this thinking that Fender and Gibson is the best. It's b*******, there's some good stuff out there these days that don't cost you arm and a leg Fender and Gibson has been soaking up that gravy train too long... Too much overhead. Need to get rid of a bunch of corporate people that is just riding the clock, people are finding it out faster and faster these days...
This Fender, like all of the others before it, can't play high gain anywhere near the Katana. Fender is pretty and clean, but if you want to run with the big dogs, you gotta look elsewhere.
Had the Katana MK1 and MK2, Marshall Code. Bought this. This wipes the floor with them all and it is almost too easy to use.
I actually am digging the high gain tones I have created. Fender really upped their game with this.
The gtx100 is a monster. I love everything about it. Any tone you could think of... all in one combo amp. Even the acoustic simulation sounds great. Great buy, and I usually hate fender products

Do you think it is suited as a practice home amp? I sounds great to be able to tune all those tones without pedals. But it might be too loud?
Exactly what Christopher said. This can definitely go quiet enough for home use and there's also a headphone out for completely silent use
Not just suited, probably BEST suited.
Anyone know if this sounds alright with an acoustic guitar?
05/30/2020: I have seen reviews where people say the distortion channels are not great. What do you think? Also, does the GTX have a simulated tube tone for this Fender solid-state amp, like the Fender Tone Master has simulated good tube tones?
mailvilla sounds good to me
How do feel it stacks up to say a super champ x2? Have you tried one before? Also compared to the new tone master series amps because I really want the deluxe reverb tone master but I’m only playing at home so it’s a bit much volume & price wise for that/for me right now
I haven't tried a champ, but I'd love to compare this with the new Tone Masters.
Just bought the amp. It has a lot of " White noise "!!
On some of the models you can turn the noise gate on
Make/model of guitar your using in the video?😕 Thanks!☺
Jennings Voyager Deluxe! She's a beaut
I felt it sounds too bassy, am i wrong?
Is this capable of modeling acoustic amps like a Fishman?
Yes it's got a acoustic amp built in
Thx for the review! I think it does not sound very good.
Hi, thanks for the video.
Is it possibile to use real external pedal, for example a boost and decide to put it at the end of the chain? Does it work like Power AMP without the internal pre? And in this case it works with Mooer GE - Hotone Amper and similar?? Thanks
Honestly the sound I hear of the GTX in the demo is not particularly thrilling. Especially the lows sound shrill and compressed to my ear. It still does not seem to live up to my old Mustang I v2, which has really good Twin Reverb, Bassman and Deluxe sounds. Seems better than the dreadful Mustang GT, which was super light and with interesting connectivity, but almost unusable. I believe that was the price paid for its lightness, but other superlight amps like the Vox VX had much better sounds. Even though I love Fender and their brand I am afraid the Katanas will still be a better option
Its a sponsored video. Just a commercial.
Fender put out the crappy Mustang GT which was not nearly as good as the Mustang V1 and V2 then they followed that up by pulling the plug on the Fuse software support. They also offered the GT software for your phone only as if anyone was going to take a GT out to gig.
You pissed on the customers that made the original Mustang so successful in hope of selling them the bad replacement and now you expect them to buy this?
Will you can drop the software support again and leave us hanging like before?
Fender didn’t pull the fuse software the decision was made by Microsoft who pulled it
Love the feature where you can chose artist/ song preset effects from Fender or Community??? So great that one doesn't have to struggle with several effects to get the sound of their favorite artists just right.
Does anyone know if this is only a feature available in this Fender GTX series and the positive grid spark amp? No other manufacturers offer this?
Honestly not sure about that. I know both Line 6 and Boss have online communities where you can download people's setups
how about high gain sounds?
If your looking for high gain sounds, just ignore anything that says fender on it.
Mustang GTX? Isn’t that a car?
doesnt sound that good to me without effects
Try a different guitar. I have the GTX50 and it's amazing.
I will never buy another Fender amp, Fender has been in the business longer than anybody. Still don't have modern technology, still using the old type USB connector on the device that has it. Most of the devices don't even have USB, much less Bluetooth. What a shame, Positive Grid Sparks amp is the way you should go more for your money? You can download any tone that you want That actually sounds like the real thing. With Fender you only get what Fender puts on their list. If you want anything else, you have to put it in one step at a time after you find something that will work and hope that it might sound correct after wasting 30 minutes of time.... No more Fender for me, All this thinking that Fender and Gibson is the best. It's b*******, there's some good stuff out there these days that don't cost you arm and a leg Fender and Gibson has been soaking up that gravy train too long... Too much overhead. Need to get rid of a bunch of corporate people that is just riding the clock, people are finding it out faster and faster these days...
This Fender, like all of the others before it, can't play high gain anywhere near the Katana. Fender is pretty and clean, but if you want to run with the big dogs, you gotta look elsewhere.
Nonsensical, the big dogs play clean and pretty too
Is it just me or does it sound like utter shit?
It's just you 😉
Nothing by fender
