You got it! I’ve had other loopers in the past that act exactly the same way, but I was also figuring a few things out here live on the fly with this pedal, as you can tell. The “group” concept was a big one to me, because sometimes I would hit undo expecting something to happen that didn’t. Once I learned that, I became more confident when hitting buttons.
Thanks for the detailed yet simple to follow demo of the looper. I love learning about my Mustang GTX-100 from your channel not to mention your great tones. Keep up the great content!
I bought this after seeing a bunch of your videos, im so happy with it. I almost spent $1000-$1400 on a Princeton or Deluxe. So glad I didn't, the gtx is awesome, the XLR outs are great for recording and I my acoustic sounds good to through it. I put it next to a blues jr and it sounded way better, has all the effects I need. Now I focus on playing and recording and not an expensive rig that I don't need.
Hey, Is it possible to save your loop for later? Probably I could find this question in the comment section above, but still… ;) Thanks for you answer ✌🏻
I’ve been looking at many loopers and I’ve been drawn to the boss rc300 which is like having 3 loopers side by side . Each of these 3 loopers has 2 buttons. The new boss rc600 can do 6 loops. The ditto x4 (confusing name) is like two loopers in one but I think it might be a bit more quirky to use than the rc300. Some loopers make you press a a track select button to swap over to another track , it’s just a lot of tap dancing to do and a lot to remember. The rc300 looks so simple to understand and use
I’ve heard very good things about the 300, including from a bunch of people that own the 600. It’s still very highly regarded. I now have the 600 and have been making a bunch of videos with it recently. I don’t think you could go wrong either way. 👍
@@SteveGuitar ah very interesting. Yes I was told that the 600 is setup kinda like the 300 . My ultimate effects unit would be something like the rc300 or rc600 but with effects and amp modelling all built in. You just need one big unit to do everything you want to do . Access drums, get an octave sound for playing bass, multi track parallel and series looping etc etc I just messages a couple folk from uk and China regarding their products and the possibility of getting stuff custom made
@@ourclarioncall that sounds great. Reply back here sometime when you figure out your final set up. Here’s a good example of me talking through the boss RC 600 and a fun song creation: th-cam.com/video/GZ577iFsAz4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this! I'm upgrading from my frontman 10G and not sure which modelling amp to buy. This helped me out a lot with deciding that it will be the fender mustang gtx
Thanks for demo , I have wonderd for a while about the looper functionality on this foot switch I guess they have tried to keep things simple I’m surprised there is an undo function but not a redo function to bring a loop back in when you want it . The undo button could have been an “undo/redo” button I have a really simple one button looper that can do all of the functions that are done with 5 buttons , plus I can also redo. The only thing I don’t like having to double tap to make the music stop , so a second button would be good to spread out all the functions over 2 buttons. But really once you get used to it having most functions on one button is very natural , practical and intuitive
Thanks, and very interesting question! Actually I don’t know that answer. I think you could ask that on the Facebook Mustang GTX group or on the gearpages “Digital and modeling” forum where they have a big Mustang GTX thread with a ton of experts. Hope that helps a little!
hey steve i have a question when you are in looper mode can you go to the preset setting to change your preset? like for example i record it in clean and then change to an overdriven sound then go back to the looper funtion to do a dub?
Yes! I’m not sure if I demonstrated that in one of the videos in the series of mine, but yes… That’s one of the things I love about it. While your loop is still playing, you can switch to presets mode, pick a different tone, and come back to the looper to stop/play/dub etc. or, you can just stay in preset mode while the loop continues to play in the background and keep changing tones over and over again 👍
Hi, I wish I could help, but this was based off a little looping demo from a Line 6 rep named Paul who was on the Anderson’s channel probably four years ago. I’ve always remembered this jam he did, but I really was just improvising here. So I don’t think it is really a published song, per se. Sorry that isn’t more help!
I searched the Anderton‘s channel for the line 6 spider V demo, but it doesn’t appear to be on their channel anymore. This guy named Paul played an acoustic loop, and then got out at electric guitar, and it was really beautiful.
Ciao, grazie per il video splendido. Puoi suggerirmi una soluzione per collegare al mustang gtx 100 sia il GT pedal che un pedale di volume e del Wah? Grazie
In this petal demo, I don’t believe I play with drums. The GTX Pedal and looper inside the amp don’t let you record drums, unless you somehow ran a drum machine or drumbeat into the input jack of the amplifier itself. So basically, if you want drums, you would have to use a beat buddy Pedal and a different looper, or just run the output of the amp into some other looper or recording system.
Thanks for the video. Sure wish there was a simpler way to kill the entire loop. I also wish there was a way to capture the recording/loop to save for later or share with others.
Hi Jim, that’s interesting, I’m not experiencing that at all. I wonder if any others here could chime in. Are you saying you start recording, then stop the first loop which should begin continuous playback… But there is a gap there? It could be a glitch, or perhaps the timing just isn’t quite perfect. Check out the first tip on this video and see what you think. The key for me in looping was making sure that I started recording on the one beat and ended the recording also on the one beat. Hope that helps, and thanks for subscribing! th-cam.com/video/Af93ngaCG04/w-d-xo.html
Hey! That’s what’s great about this looper and amp combo: you can record a clean simple rhythm track, and then switch to a lead tone with all sorts of effects for subsequent loops or lead soloing. I demo this in action on the second Fender Friday episode from a week ago, a livestream I did. 👍🎸
Hello, apologies if you answered this somewhere else. My question is about the looper playback. Is there any way to adjust the playback volume level? I'm having an issue where the dub volume level is a bit too quiet during playback.
Unfortunately, no. Once you turn the amp off, it’s gone forever. I actually just recorded a loop a minute ago and left the app on for that very reason. Sometimes I’ll leave it on for hours and just come back and start playing. I totally love this guitar amp and looper, but I am still a big fan of the looper pedals that can save songs
Hey good video. But say if you made a loop over 4 bars can you dub something that will only repeat in one bar say out of the 4 in the loop? Or will it just keep repeating over every bar?
Thanks; and good question. This looper (like most simple 1-track loopers) just repeats the entire first loop over and over. So you can’t have have one loop be four bars and one be 1 bar. That’s why I also use a more complicated looper sometimes; see my boss RC 505 videos, where you can do a 1 bar drum beat, then a four bar rhythm track; then other tracks that are different lengths. Hope that helps!
@@SteveGuitar okay I Will and thanks. I used this footswitch for the first time yesterday. And the 2 vids you have saved plenty time in figuring it out. Cheers
Hey Steve, why is there a pause of silence in my loop? I hit the play/stop button as soon as i stop playing but here still seems to be a pause before the loop begins again
Good question. My guess is that you are hitting the stop button (the second click) too early or late. Check out this video and see if it helps. Basically you start your loop and end your loop precisely on the 1 count of a 1234 loop.
Filipe Azevedo Good question! If my math is right, there are 40 banks of five, because you can have 200 total presets on the amplifier, so you just go up and down in groups of five until you reach 200, and then it starts over again at zero. So, 40 sets of five.
Hi Steve, thanks for great content! I have mustang gtx50 amp and gtx-7 footswitch. I noticed sound quality downgrade from when I record and press play on the footswitch. Have you encountered anything similar, would you know what could cause it? Very noticeable difference, sound of the loop becomes somewhat blurred and cold, sound quality drops drastically.
My pleasure! And unfortunately, no, I haven’t experienced that. The loop should be a 100% clone of the original live signal. Let me think more. I also suggest you go to thegearpage.net and go to their digital and modeling forum, to the Mustang GtX thread. There are serious experts there who know EVERYTHING.

@@SteveGuitar thanks a lot for the answer. I thought that you had only like 3 or 4 banks where you´d save your favourite sounds out of the 200, so you´d have like 15 or 20 sounds in the memory of the pedal for a quick switch but now i get it! Cheers!
Filipe Azevedo Hey, just wanted you to know I posted a new video yesterday that explained even more about how the presets and banks work. Hope it’s helpful! Thanks for subscribing in spreading the word!
@@SteveGuitar Thanks a lot. I´ve just seen and it helped a lot.. I´m definitely getting one of those.. Oh and that feature you told in the end will be so helpfull.. thanks :)
Ahhh ... just seeing this. Sorry! It's a song from a 5 year old demo I saw of an amp at Andertons. I just heard a Line 6 representative make this great loop, and I learned it then. I think it was just a random jam written in that Andertons video. I wish I had more info! 😎
Krylo Ace There is a desktop app that I know works for the Mustang LT amps, and I’m pretty sure it works for the GTX and GT as well. Hopefully someone here can answer that, but check out Fender’s website (especially on the LT 50 and LT 25 pages) and check. Hope that helps, and welcome to the channel!
Great tutorial. So with the dubbing it's basically two tracks. The permanent track and the most recent dub. Hitting dub again just mies everything down to the permantent track.
That’s right. It’s a pretty basic looper but that’s what I like about it. Nothing fancy. Just lay down a first track, and then dub on top of it. You can undo that dub initially, but once you hit stop and then play again, that dub is permanently part of the first track. And then your next dub sort of creates a third layer but really on top of the 1st+2nd layers. Hope that makes sense.
Great video and explanations Steve. I like how you detailed the use of the dub function, and defined a dubbing group. Thanks for doing this!

Perfect lesson, loved Upside Down at the end!
Omg it took me forever to find the combination to delete the full loop and restart a new on thank you so much

Great tutorial. How long of a loop recording can you do?
This is exactly what I wanted to see/know about this amp. Many thanks.
only one I've watched so far, but I am impressed. Clear, concise, 1,2,3. Great example of instruction. The rest they say is to the imagination.
Very kind of you! Thank you, and glad you like it👍
