Hi everybody,

Trying to write in my best english here :lol:

I'm totaly new on this forum.
Just bought my Mustang iii last week.
First of all I'm very happy with it.
Great sounds and possabillities.
There's only one problem I have with the clean sounds.
I play a gibson les paul custom and when i hit the strings hard with the pick ups in the middle on the higher frets it is sounding like my speaker is going to break up.
Got no problems with the distorted sounds.

Anyone with the same problem???

Try turning the Gain control down until the breakup stops, then turn the Volume control up to replace the drop in volume.

Hope that works.

Check the sound clips at the beginning of this thread, if you are experiencing the same problem it's more complicated:

I've played the mustang iii with my Ibanez darkstone and the problems almost solved.
Changed the action on my gibson custom and the problem became less too.
But its stil there.
I'm shure it's not the speaker.
I can also hear it through my headphones and when I'm recording in Logic Pro, so i think it's a software issue in the amp models.

Hi there!
For me the situation was similar: one month hapiness then distorted sounds on the lower strings started to sound like a broken bell. Both on speaker and headphones. It is strange that clean sounds did not go wrong, or at least I can't hear.

Any solution?

I know: reset and firmware upgrade. But did somebody met this problem and solved?

Turn the amp up a little more than you have been doing already and then turn the guitar's volume pot DOWN almost all the way to zero. Then roll the volume pot up to your liking. I never play with my guitars volume pot all the way open unless I am playing lead and sometimes not even all the way open then.

I Know, how to make distortion sound clean and dirty with the volume pot. This problem is different.

I have the same problem with Humbuckers (particularly on clean sounds that have a chorus effect or some other modulation) It's how I dealt with it and it seems to work for me. If I don't roll my volume back some I get break up. Thought it might help.

Finally my problem has been solved by a firmware upgrade. Since that all preset sounds good.
