Hi,

I purchased a new Mustang II yesterday. Did not have a DVD included, is there anywhere I can download an ISO image of it?

I downloaded the latest release of FUSE for PC, connected the amp and the software said that I must update the firmware before I can use it with FUSE. Ok, I hold down the Save button when turning it back on (Save light blinks). Fuse prompts me to update the firmware. Both options fail saying that "The firmware file is corrupt". No other errors installing Fuse or detecting that the amp is connected.

I tried v1.40, 1.50, 1.60 upd files, plus the firmware that is bundled with FUSE. Ok, maybe it's the PC, installed FUSE on a seperate PC, same exact issue. Tried reverting back to the older build of Fuse same problem (after having to bypass the integrity check, as the installer appears to be corrupted).

Please advise ... The shop that I purchased it from is closed today, but I may have to return it or exchange it if I can't get this going ...

Thanks,
Bob

I would go back to the shop. The disk is supposed to be included with all of the Mustangs. Bring the amp too, and get the shop to fix your firmware problem or get a new amp if they can't fix it.

My last ditch effort to get this updated was to connect it to a MAC. That worked!
It updated the firmware and I was able to connect via FUSE nd edit presets. I don't have my guitar with me tody, but it looks good ...

I called the store to complain, but they wouldn't take any money off of the price. The instruction manual had writing in it and the DVD was missing. Clearly an open item.
I would just hate to drive up there, exchange it and have more problems.

Loren said that he would send me the DVD. I am going to test all functions, will return it if I run into any more trouble. FWIW, it might be worthwhile for Fender to confirm that the new firmware can be flashed by only installing the latest version of FUSE.

The latest version of FUSE, v. 2.1.0.8 does include the latest versions of Mustang firmware.

Mustang I&II: v. 1.6
Mustang III - V: v. 1.5

Hello,

Yes, Loren I tried both the update file that comes with FUSE and also the updates that I downloaded seperately. Same issue ("Firmware file corrupt"). Once I tried it on a MAC using the bundled firmware, it worked. I was able to connect with the PC at home now as well.

Hi Loren,

I borrowed my wife's laptop, a newer IBM T400S with Windows 7 and the firmware flashes fine. So, i believe the root issue is with the USB ports on my older computers (one is an IBM T41, the other an Acer Netbook). The USB ports on the older machines are )i believe USB 2.0), but there is something that FUSE does not like about them.

The amp communicates fine with the older computers, but they cannot be used to flash the firmware.

Just wanted to let you know.

Rob

Hi Mauro, the link below may give you enough information for you to update the firmware. Please give it a look. Great Cliffs of Dover cover on Youtube, by the way...
