I'm getting my Mustang III (hopefully Wednesday) on 30 days approval. I just noticed that the Mustang V is the same price, offers stereo (2x75w), and comes with the 4-button footswitch.

I have a Vox AD212 extn cab with two 80w 12" Celestion 'Neodog' speakers (a very slight variation of the Celestion G12 Century) that has the 2 x 8 Ohm 'L&R' stereo connections (I use it with my stereo Vox AD120VTX) which would be perfect for the Mustang V.

On paper, it's a better deal and would give a bigger, fuller tone with the AD212. BUT....& here's my dillema....the reason I went for the Mustang III is to have a light, compact portable amp that was easy to take around with no need for external effects. The Mustang V head is physically big - it's as wide as my AD212 cab, and is less convenient as I'd have to take the AD212 with me and carry the extra speaker cables.

If I was still gigging regularly it would be a no brainer - but the III was always really more for home use and playing with friends. So it's much more convenient.

I'll see how I get on with the Mustang III first and then have a hard think. I really wish the III came with the 4-button footswitch though as it's another £60-70 - if I went for the V it would actually be better value & save me that extra cost! ....bummer...oh, what to do :?: :!: . :roll:
