All thanks and glory to God, Father of Jesus, for everything you’ve given me that makes this channel possible! And heartfelt thanks to my wonderful wife and kids. Love you all!
Great Video again! I love to play around with my GTX 50 and the GTX 7. Especially i fell in Love with the Looper!👍😁 You explain this so well, thank you for that.🙏
Thanks! Really appreciate your nice words. I hadn’t seen another video out there that experimented with every possible looper combination, just to see what would happen. 👍🎸
I actually just bought the 50 watt version and purchased the gtx 7 and I got the amp but have to wait a few more days for the pedal and I can't wait. I love looping and practicing lead. I'm excited to say the least lol
@@SteveGuitarhow many overdubs can you do in total?
I've had my gtx50 for nearly 4 years now, and I just placed the order for my gtx7 last week. Im watching this to hopefully prepare me for when it gets here in a few days and also because im experiencing it vicariously through you to contain my excitement.
Steve, I want to express my gratitude for providing us with this educational tutorial! It's incredibly helpful!
Love my GTX. I have spent thousands on awesome and rare pedals over the years, and they are great, but if I’m honest, the Mustang GTX sounds almost as good for a fraction of the price, and has far more effects than my board ever will.
I agree with that. A million features and music-making options and one single pedal and amp combo👍
I just got mine last week and I have to agree with you. I have spent $2000 on a single Marshall amp with one sound pretty much. I was never a fan of fender amps until this series came out.😊
I got the same type of switch with Fender Mustang GTX 100. This video has greatly helped me. Much appreciated for posting this video.
You demo was very helpful to get the basic understanding of how things can work.
Superb comprehensive coverage of the functions. So well structured and planned
Very kind of you! Glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it. Thanks 👍
Awesome! I’ve had the same set up for months and never knew about the tempo tap on the presets
Excellent job walking through this. Just picked one up today and got a college level education now.
Great my friend got my Foot switch today Tried to figure out things . Was able to record and dub but couldn't erase if I made a mistake. So I searched in here and found your instructions which uncovered everything. Now I know all the functions thanks to you. You did a great job couldn't have been done better.... Thanks again ....
It's almost midnight, and I'm watching this to see how I can use this to enhance the only song I know on guitar: Mary had a little lamb😂😂😂😂😂😂. I should probably be practicing some shit first. But seriously, this guy is just great. He put in all the work and preparation ahead of time to get this video. Really Fender should reward people like him with something. I'm going to buy this thing.
Awesome Video, and loop. I'm a drummer but got this for my son with the GTX100 as his first larger amp a few years ago and never figured out its capabilities. Glad I watched, and kept my attention all the way through, that's tough lol!
Thank you Steve for giving this educational tutorial for us! This helps a lot! I'm waiting for my Fender GTX amp to arrive as I type this.
Thank you so much for this great guide Steve!
Thank you so much for your time on compiling this, i got mine just yesterday and did not have the first clue where to start on pedal, this has taught me so much, and your explanations and presentation delivery was perfect, you sir have my huge appreciation, with warm regards from Wales UK👌👏🎸
Glad I watched, I can imagine myself too caught up with how to work the looper to even try changing settings mid dub. Thanks
Well done. Just got the gtx100 and have been playing on effect 6 with tremolo, delay and compressor with flange. Learning how to use the looper I’ve been having questions and you answered them all!😊
Excellent demo. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!
Dude.... This was great!!!
I just got the gtx 50 and bought the gtx 7 I'm loving the looping. I can create so much fun stuff. My wife is gonna hate it 😂😂😂
Very helpful, thank you! I'm waiting for my GTX100 to arrive, and this will really get me started.
Hi, Thanks for your demos, really helpful. I would like to see how the pedal handles Setlists. If you can do a demo of that function that would be great.
Thank you, Bob.
thanks so much! The technology in these amps is amazing and it's so great to get so many sounds
Great Video, after weeks between Boss and Fender. I got the GTX 100, and I have the Hotone Ampero II. The the Mustang Footswitch and effects is so good that I don’t need to use the Ampero...
Excellent video Steve...Today I ordered my GTX 100 and your videos have been excellent and much appreciated. Enjoying your talent and have subscribed to your channel. Thanks so much.
What if I’m performing live… and I love (for example) 01 for a [clean] verse, and patch 42 is a distorted tone that’s perfect for the Chorus. I don’t have the time in a split second to bank up. Are there any ways to make this situation work? Can you reorder the patches? It would be cool to know this amp/pedal could be geared towards specific songs/ performances before ordering it all ! Great informative video here
Hey! I don’t remember where it is in the video but you can do that using “setlists” … where you make a group of any 5 presets. You can pick a set list, and then you’re one click away from going from tone 5 to 42 or 1 to 83. Search TH-cam for more vids on it … thanks!
Hi! And how can we pick the setlist? I make one but I don’t know how to send it to the footswitch
Thanks so much. Absolutely excellent tutorial. I have one coming into today.
I have the Katana MKII 50. I’ve watched countless vids with the comparison of the two. I’m still really fighting off the urge to spend the money with that rent to own.
It’s the looper and foot switch that really has my attention to but it within the week! Great vid and walk through!
Just got one after Katana and a heavy Fender 65 custom...the Mustang is amazing. Have a bunch of pedals for sale!
Great video. I was shopping for another pedal for my GT100. I also have a Mustang IIIv2 and I've been sharing the pedal between the two amps, but now I've been leaving the III at the band rehearsal space and I'm about to start using the GT100 with another band. So I have to get it its own pedal. I didn't even know this existed, but I have to have it now.
Thorough and detailed, thanks much. I own a GTX50, but I still really wish it had a second bank down button instead of having to hold the bank up button to scroll through banks. I've overshot my destination patches a few times, and it takes too long, especially in a live situation. Or better yet, a midi in control would be nice.
GTX: Reeboot the Amp is a new reality, sheesh! (and I just ordered the GTX 100, YES!)
Great vid. Has sold me on getting the gtx with pedal👍
Just ordered the GTX-50 and GTX-7 and am waiting for them. Thanks so much for this video, saved me hours of figuring this all out! Fender should hire you to teach!
Haha, thanks! Glad it’s helpful 👍
Great video, thanks for sharing. I just got a GTX100, and am loving it. Tap tempo is a game changer! Top tip right there.
Do you have a video showing how to store your footswitch's presets and effects?
Thanks for the clarifications - great video. Subscribed!!
Very good video! Thanks a lot for sharing.
The only thing I was missing from the video is how to toggle through your setlist using the pedal. Great video though thanks!
Great video Steve. Had my GTX for a year and didn’t know about the tap tempo either!
Sweet, that’s great!
Awesome thanks so much I need to watch this again and take notes😁
Been wondering if I should use my GTX50 for my acoustic rather than the Fishman Loudbox. Thanks for the advice in your other video. I have really been ambivalent about my GTX50 and have thought about trading it for a tube amp, but your info really helps me see the possibilities of the amp.
Thank you for this!
Great video. Fantastic explanation. Thanks Steve.
👍👍👍
This was good... Thanks so much.. Learned alot
Hey Steve I just purchased a GTX 50 and snd a gtx 7 foot pedal , do you have video on setting this up ? Thanks I appreciate all your skills , and advice , thanks !
Thanks you so much, great explanations.
Will this footswitch work with fender mustang gt100? As i know they has the same firmware
Thanks Steve !!!
Hey Steve I just purchased a GTX 50 and snd a gtx 7 foot pedal , do you have video on setting this up ? Thanks I appreciate all your skills , and advice , thanks ! I also purchased the xvibes , so I’m all set I think ? Just want set it all up now , so any help would be much appreciated .
Great video. I wish I could use my midi foot switches with the GTX. I love my old Cyber Twin footswitch which has two beefy expression pedals.
For me the GTX-7 is "close but no cigar". Fender cheaped out by not putting a dedicated Bank Down button. As some have pointed out elsewhere having to hold the bank button down makes it impractical for quick changes. You can daisy chain the EXP-1 like on other foot-switches - which is nice - but there is no capacity to add a single up/down foot-switch. With the original Mustang series you could have 3 pedals attached all at once: the up/down (MS2), the 4 button controller (MS4), and the expression pedal (EXP-1). That gives much more overall control in live situations. I'd love to upgrade to one of the newer modelling amps but don't want to give up the ease of control that I have with the Mustang III V2.
You can make a setlist on hr amp or app and only have selected amps on a list instead of all
In the effects part I didn't understand how to create a different effect in that button, how did you do that? Put a distortion effect on 1, a wah on 2 and so on, five different effects, how do I do that? Do you have a video about that?
I'm about to buy the This amplifier
And I think For a wonderful journey
Great video Steve.
So there's no tap tempo function in Effects Mode?
Hey Steve great video I’ll be sure to post a link to it from the site to
🙌
Is it possible to save the loop in between sessions? Like if I create a loop, then turn off the amp/switch and then return to it a day later?
@@elevengears wish I had better news for you 😎… when you turn off the amp, the loops is deleted, gone forever.
@SteveGuitar thanks. I can always put a pedal on the FX channel. Not a show stopper by any means. Great demo!
Really enjoying your videos Steve. I see you don't have the Fender EXP-1 pedal. I would love you to get one, do some research and practice and then put up a video like this one but about that pedal.
That would be great. I have ordered one so hopefully I’ll pick it up this week.
Great Info and presentation
Is there any way to change amps within a single patch? I play a few songs where I need to go from acoustic guitar simulation to heavy distortion electric and there is a slight delay switching from patch to patch vs. turning effects on/off in single patch. Would love the option to get both sounds in 1 patch.
18:00 That's interesting how if you hit the record again it seems to do nothing. Just keeps recording. I doubt if it works this way, but would be cool if you could record something like a 1-bar percussive pattern, then hit record again and record a 4-bar chord pattern, for example, and have it stretch the time of the total loop to 4 bars with the 1 bar percussion repeating for each of the 4 bars.
Have just ordered a new Mustang GTX100 and your video has provided lots of info. Question; Can you create and store multiple Loops?
Awesome! And no, unfortunately, one limitation is that you can’t store or save loops. Once you turn the amp off, it’s gone forever. But I actually like that, because it just keeps things simple. I have a separate looper for storing full song creations when I want to
@@SteveGuitar i have the boss rc30 loop pedal, can i use this with the gtx100 in conjunction with the pedal that comes with the amp? If so, am i able to lay a clean tone loop down and play different internal fx tones as lead over the top of the clean tone without the clean tone changing to the effect im using as lead?
Hi Steve, great video guide! Do you know to use expression pedal, say Fender EXP-1, with GTX-7?
Great Stuff well done and detailed video 5 stars !
Awesome, thanks! Appreciate the kind words
They really should have installed a "bank down" button and made the screen larger to show the name of the patch.
He shows it you hold it for 2 seconds
Hi Steve would you teach how to balance all the volumes of the presets? thanks man!👍
Thank you so much!!!
How is it powered ? Batteries? or separate power supply?
On the effects, can you set your own effects on the 5 pedals?
Thanks Steve nice job! 👍
Thanks much! I appreciate you watching and sharing
How does it connect to the amp? Is there a way to use a wired connection to avoid interference? I heard it connects with bluetooth which isn't the best to avoid interference.
These presets I assume are Fenders in order? Is there any way to get the first 10 presets on ones I use all the time? Example: I use #5 and #158 in the same song and then a 3rd to a Lead solo.... I need to set these in the first 3 spots
Impressive wow
How do you fix the leveling between and switching the presets? Some are louder than most!
@@mikegodoy6288 that’s one thing that’s not easy. You have to either adjust the amp model levels best you can without affecting tone (ie, the Twin has its own volume, separate from the overall Mustang amp volume), or use pedals: like adding a clean boost to quieter ones to make them equal to loud ones … then save the preset. Hope that helps a little.
Hey Steve, really like your videos. Question: If I want to switch between sound 43 and sound 2, is there a quick way to do this? IE Pressing one button instead of holding down the bank button. Thx. Russ
Hey! I don’t remember where it is in the video but you can do that using “setlists” … where you make a group of any 5 presets. You can pick a set list, and then you’re one click away from going from tone 5 to 42 or 1 to 83. Search TH-cam for more vids on it … thanks!
i have my old amp fender mustang 1, would this still work with it?
Hi Steve, thank you so much, you videos have been very helpful over the last 2 weeks as I just got the GTX 100! I am having a terrible time finding information on how to daisy chain my GTX-7 with the EXP-1 to the GTX 100. I did this simply with the dual jacks on my footswitch that came with my old GT 100 - Do you have any advice? TYIA!
Hey, thanks for the nice words! Really appreciate that, and sorry, but the one thing that I have never done is use the expression pedal. Wish I had a video on that! Maybe someday?😎
@@SteveGuitar Well If I find out, i will be sure to come back here and share it with you! :D
This paddle is tone available???
I know your a busy man. Is it possible to put a looper drum pedal through the front of the amp and record directly to the fender loop pedal. ???
Like this? th-cam.com/video/gBvTzLDiX6Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KvuPArJBwNhlyEXE
With this demo..can you add drum backing?
Thanks
Hi Steve, love your work. I have a question if you can help me out plz. How are patches balanced in gtx100. Is there a massive volume diffrance between patches for eg, if you go to 6 clean patch to 7 overdriven and then 8 atmoshpheric... is there a massive volume diffrance.
Or they sit at same volume. I understand some patch might be bit louder due to overdriven etc. but how dose switching patches goes as far as the loudness and tone is concerned. I own a katana 100mk2 with a footswitch but i have a problem with jt hence thinking of changing to gtx. Any thoughts...❤
thank you for the video! I have a question, what happen with a pedal sound for instance PRO CO RAT if you conect it to the amplifier and its sound is combine with the GTX7 , you lost the RAT pedal sound quality? or do you enhance the sound? thank you!!!!
Can you use a universal footswitch with a mustang gtx? If I could get a quick reply thank you!
Great video. Love the way you explain everything so clearly, Had my GTX100 for about a month now and really lovin it.. I do find by using my iPad/iPhone or PC i can visually see what is happening with each of the presets and the effects as i turn them on and off like you show in the video. the only thing that confuses me is when I save into setlists or favorites I cant understand why they aren't in the order I selected. lets say 1 thru 5 should now be coordinated with 1-5 on footswitch.. In other words say I selected #27 and added it to #4 in my set list. It is not #4 at footswitch. I have to go up the banks till I get to multiple banks till I reach #27. Am I doing something wrong? I find easier to select the setlist from my iPad and then can visually see and select the favorite from there and now it is in my footswitch automatically.. much quicker. I would hate to do this when performing live to go thru all those banks especially when my 5th selection in setlist is #86. Hope someone can answer that for me.. I will be giving a call to Fender's support group.. Again, thanks so much for time and effort that you out into the videos. much appreciated..
Awesome, thanks so much for the kind words, and glad it was helpful. And setlists and how they interact with the foot switch are some of my weakest points. I can’t understand lots of the scenarios you pose. I’ll report back if I figure some out. Hopefully others will chime in. Appreciate it! 👍
Will this foot controller work with an old Fender G--dec 30?...I have a chance to buy one of these as I am missing a foot controller for it..,,Thanks.
Hi, does this footswitch works with mustang LT50?
Hey Steve I order a gtx 4 button foot switch for my fender mustang iii. My amp Version is 2.2. When I connect it to my amp only 2 stay lite up when I press any of the others buttons it has no effect. Do you have setup the 4 button foot switch???????
I can’t get my GTX-7 Effects mode to work. Do I need to program each preset with a specific effect then allow the footswitch to let me turn them on and off? I though the whole idea of the effects is that you can go to a given preset, click down to the Effects and add gain, reverb, delay, etc…as you want. So frustrating.
Me too. I can’t get it to change in the fix assign area
Thank you! I got the GTX50 today and picked up the footswitch and this video helped me tremendously.
Have a sub!
Glad to hear it, William. Thanks! I’ve learned about some of these sort of hidden features over time, so it was good to put them all in one place in this video. Glad it helped!
How do you set an already made preset to the footswitch?
Great video!
Great job you have given us with this video. Many tricks that were necessary to know. I want to share with you that I have a Mustang GT200 and recently bought the GTX7 from him. Unfortunately the footswitch does not respond the same to me. I think it's because my amp isn't the GTX as is. Do you think I can do something about it to make it work for me as it is? I would greatly appreciate your help. All the best.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it, and unfortunately, I don’t know if all of these features work the same way with the GT series. I suppose you could ask on one of the online forums or Facebook groups. Or just keep experimenting. Wish I could help!
@@SteveGuitar Hello. Yes, I think you are right. I'll start trying to make movements to see if the footswitch gives me any response. I thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer me. Thank you very much for your videos, they are very helpful. Greetings.
@@SteveGuitar I have a GT100 and was thinking of getting the GTX-7 for it since it says it's compatible. But it does say you have to update the firmware for it to work correctly. Are you on the latest version?
Will this work with an lt25 fender mustang amp??
I’ve got the same question…
Question… can you use this with the regular GT100? Not the GTX.
Good morning ! Can you plug the amp into a computer to put the patches in the order you want and save them on the computer? Thanks !
Curious - what are the effects/settings on your preset 001?
Nice Steve. Is this the gtx 50 amp fender mustang your using ? Works with the looper it’s inbuilt in the amp ??? The wifi and Bluetooth amp version right ?? It will do the looper with the foot switch ??? Will it? Please do advise me. Thanks
👍 Yes, I’ve got the GTX50. The 50 and 100 both have a looper inside that is controlled with the footswitch. And both have WiFi and Bluetooth.
Is there a standby mode?
