Just got a Mustang III last Thursday, enjoying the heck out of it.

I chose the III over the I or II because of the expanded controls on the amp itself (although for my purposes the 20W I would have been otherwise more than enough). Also, I wanted to be able to use the 2+4 button foot switches. So far, I am not regretting the choice.

Sadly, haven't much opportunity to air it out so far (mostly headphone listening), but I did fiddle around enough to notice the notorious fizz/crackle. Interestingly enough, I notice the same thing (now that I look for it) with my ME-25. I'm playing a "Costco special" Starcaster HSS strat copy, and the single coils generate a lot more of the fizz than the humbucker. But, I also found that Pipper's tip about dialing back the effect volume cleaned it up quite a bit as well (thanks for that!).

I've toyed with FUSE a bit, haven't spent any time with the other software just yet (although I have been able to record in Audacity using the USB connection just fine).

At this point, the worst flaw I've found with the Mustang (and the ME-25) though, is that neither one has actually made me a better player. :x Guess I have to work on that now, no more excuses...

PITA

Congratulations on perfect choice... n' over-liddle-time, and with the Mustangs help, you will definitely become and sound like those pro players :D
