From looking at all the documentation, it looks like the Mustang II can use the 2 button footswitch, but not the 4 button switch.

Is this correct?

No. It can only use the simple one-button footswitch.

I'm glad I asked. These seem to be decent sounding amps, but the documentation sucks. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I'm leaning more towards the III then.

You won't regret it. Usability (both from the footswitch options and the onboard display) and tone are much better than on the II.

Agree completely,, go directly to the III!

the LCD for edits, the added wattage and a better stock speaker are worth every nickel IMO.

add the other bennies of the capabilities of the 2 + 4 button foot switch, + the additional preset options, and you've entered "no brainer" territory

The MIII includes the 2btn fsw. Adding the accessory 4btn fsw is a real benefit! It brings Three Modes: Direct Quick Access Presets, Preset Navigation, and FX Bypass, plus the Tuner Display! The EXP-1 Expression and Volume Pedal can also be used. None of these are supported by the MI/II.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more the III looks like a more usable piece of gear.

I've been out of playing for a while. Man, stuff has changed.

Yeah! And, the MIII v.2 can get Loudernhel.

If you've been away for a while, there's a lot of changes. If you're not in a rush, and want to go with a modeling amp, maybe you would be interested in the brand new Marshal CODE amps.

https://marshallamps.com/products/amplifiers/code/

they should start showing up in the online box stores this summer.


The mustangs are great, but it is 6 year old technology with no updates or follow on products from Fender in this product set. They have either abandoned the idea, or... they're going to ride these till the end of the line.
These are really good amps though, and the two I have (Both V1s) have been very reliable.

I will probably scoop up a CODE combo once they become available.

In defense of the Mustang 2 it makes a wonderful *practice* amp that is very portable, uses less power, 12 inch speaker and I can run it out in the field on my car battery with an inverter all day. Think picnic. It is also much more affordable and version 1 really looks good without the fizz.

Using the Remuda app with it can avoid having to buy the extra footswitch which can get pricey.

Again, for around two hundred dollars it makes a fine *practice* amp which can get louderenhel. <g>

Just checked, Mustang 2 master volume on 5 at 2 feet away. 108 dB
Yep,... plenty loud!
