+1, but I don't think that's solvable via FUSE alone. The amp itself only has a global setting for that.

Probably right but wanted to at least mention it, hopefully they could add it to a firmware change but don't see that happening either!

Which Mustang amps "have started to become discontinued"?

The Floor. Which is technically not an amp, but definitely a FUSE-enabled product.


Ah. Right: not an amp.

I was responding to that with 2 options for running Fender FUSE™ Software on Linux: (1) Using a virtual operating system installation inside Linux (2) Dual boot.
Neither is running in Linux; you still need to do a full Windows purchase and installation and run the software in Windows.
A lot of people have a Windows Vista or Windows 7 license on hand. (changed or upgraded OS) Not everyone, but it's a viable option for those who do. Also, an old Windows XP license should get the job done, it's not currently on the supported list but I ran FUSE on XP with the current version fairly recently and it worked for me 100%.

At this point, FUSE is abandonware
So you figure Fender is simultaneously discontinuing 6 products? Interesting. :shock:

...but keeping on topic, I'd like to see some new themes/skins available in Fuse. :wink:

Yes this would be great. Another thing that bothers me is the grey and black stomp color are basically the same color. If i use the blackbox stomp i would like to be able to choose the black color in fuse and have it be black not grey.

it´s so rediculous to even have to discuss this!!!!!

Fun fact: Fender calls this working as designed :lol:

anyway, have fun with your product if it suits your needs,
i´m done with the PP-Mini, best example of how bad software engineering can ruin a hardware product.

Its not broken. The Stomp Box FX are NOT Modulation OR Delay OR Reverb FX. Thus, if you have a preset with an overdrive stomp and turn the FX knobs to load a different Modulation and or Reverb/Delay effect, the Overdrive will stay. So yes, it is working as intended. This is how it works for me and quite honestly I'm happy for that. If I'm playing with a preset I like that has the Greenbox stomp and I decide to change to a different reverb and add chorus why would I want that to blow away my Greenbox stomp? Would it be nice if the OD/Fuzz/Compressors were saved in the FX knobs? Sure it would but I accept that that is not the design. Having more flexibility over adding Stomps on the fly is the reason you would go for the Mustang III.

But Ok, you win, you are right. It must be broken if it doesn't work like you want it to.

I don't have the need to rearrange presets constantly. I suppose I can understand the want for this but it doesn’t take me 300 mouse clicks. It takes me about five to ten minutes to:

1. Make a Backup of the current amp configuration
2. Open the folder containing the backup and go to the "Presets" folder
3. Re-number the presets to the desired order.
4. Restore the modified backup to amp.

I'm having a blast using my new Mustang III v.2 and learning my way around. My wife said it sounds dreadful and I said thank so very much... just the sick, nasty sound I was shooting for. I'll need to work up some clean presets though as they can be even more of a challenge than the high gain stuff.

The GUI is very attractive IMHO and reminds me a bit of the IKMM amp graphics.

I've been using a Cyber Deluxe (in really nice shape and for sale I guess) for years so I have a feel for the sound. I really love the Celestion G12T-100 ... same speaker that's in my Cyber Deluxe... seems the more you use it the better the speaker sounds!

I find that the tuner is very useful... both on-board the amp and within FUSE.

I could go on and on - I would not hesitate to recommend the Fender Mustang III v.2 to anyone.

The only negative that I have is that NO software, especially from a company know for its' high quality products, should be so difficult to install and get operational.

Now where are those Jeff Beck presets hiding???? 8)

We need the ability to more freely configure the 4 button footswitch. For instance, I use an outboard tuner, so button 1 is wasted right now. If I could assign it to do something else (tap tempo?), that would be a big plus.

Actually, there's a very simple way the 2 button footswitch's functionality could be greatly improved. NOBODY uses ALL the patches in these amps on any given gig, so couldn't we have a parameter available to choose to cycle between a certain number of patches? Say a player has 11 patches he or she likes (let's say patches 0 through 10). If we want to switch between patch 10 and 0 right now, we have to hit the DOWN button 10 times. If we could set the upper limit of patch switching to be patch 10, we could simply hit the UP footswitch button ONE TIME to get back to patch 0. That's a lot less work (and saves time).
Reducing the amount of footswitch tapping would be a HUGE benefit to any gigging player. This would be a very common sense update.

I had requested that the footswitch cycle up/down through presets when it is held for more than two seconds. 8)

In fact, here is my entire wish list:

My latest pita is when the BAND stops while changing presets - WRONG! - The BAND should not stop because you turned on a pedal - come on!
Within the preset box, the Amp/PC radio buttons should be a simple toggle... between Amp and PC.
PRESET INFO button turns blue when information entered into DESCRIPTION field.
Hold footswitch for two seconds and amp cycles up/down through the presets.
Double click any knob for parameter default values of 50% or 12 o'clock.
Volume control for band tracks. Default value for Repeat (loop) is ON
Key board shortcuts - ctrl-T (tuner) second ctrl-T should close the tuner
Need ability to lock repeat for BAND. The user should not have to hit the lock everytime a new band track is loaded.
Need the ability to save individual Stomp and Rack FX parameter settings.
Need the ability to click in to the parameter value box and type in a percentage or value.
The option to normalize the volume of all presets would be of great value or better yet, an output meter.
Copy stomp boxes and rack effects between presets while maintaining their settings.
Need the ability to add more than one of each type of STOMP or RACK effect. (STOMP. MODULATION, DELAY, REVERB)
Why would the initial options for BAND be "MP3/Wave" or "None"?... this makes no sense to me.
The ability to load more than one STOMP or RACK module from one particular category. For example; load a phaser, chorus and a flanger in front of the amp or four different reverb types after the amp.
The ability to save STOMP and RACK FX "chains" or groupings.
The ability to PURCHASE ADDITIONAL STOMP AND RACK FX modules from FMIC and install them on the Mustang III.
Undo, Redo and Compare would be valuable.
Option to rename a preset from within FUSE.

If I was the lead programmer on the FUSE development team, I would write up a business plan for FMIC to purchase the raw code for JamVOX, a relatively powerful amp simulator from Korg. It has everything that FUSE needs in terms of functionality.

It appears as though JamVOX has been completely abandoned and has had no updates for years. With this code, FUSE could become a much more powerful tool and add some serious power and functionality to the platform.
