I have the Mustang I and I can't really seem to get a clean, rich sound. How do I accomplish this? It doesn't seem like any of the presets are completely clean.

Hi

I found this also, I think when you have a fiddle with the setting sin the fuze software it can help with getting cleaner sound ...

Disclamer: I play through the Mustang V head so I'm not too familular with your amp but these suggestions should be good for just about any amp.

You have four knobs to adjust the sound VOLUME. Gain, Volume and Master AND the volume knob on your guitar.

The Volume knob on your Guitar is the first increase in volume in your sound chain. This should be set at around 5 on a 1 to 10 scale to start with.

The Gain knob is next and adjusts the "preamp" volume. This is the second increase in volume. This sould be set at 2 or 3 to start with.

The Volume knob is next and adjusts the Volume for THIS PATCH only. It should be set to give sufficient volume but for now MORE than the Gain knob by 2 or 3. ( so let's use 8 for now.

The Master knob is last and sets the overall maximum sound level. All patches will use this as the Maximum output. ( as you build/use patches the Volume knob on each patch will be adjusted so that no one patch has too much or too little volume). Set that at a comfortble level - maybe 5 or 6.

Pick a clean amp (Twin, Deluxe, Champ ) with NO efx - no compression, no distortion, no reverb - no 'nothin!

Pick a note then hit a chord. You should have a nice clean tone.

Just remember that with the Gain knob lower than the Volume knob this will give you various settings of clean to crunchy sounds.

The Gain knob higher than the Volume knob will give you a distorted sound (like what you seem to be hearing now) . The higher the gain and the lower the Volume the more the distortion.

AND as you increase the Volume knob on the guitar you can effect the amount of crunch and/or distortion. It is kind of a pre-Gain - Gain.

I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

Blessings, Bo
