Hi --

Just got a Mustang III today (brand new). Was working fine... I plugged it into my Mac and attempted to update the firmware to the newest version available from the Fender site... FUSE software reported that the update failed, and to try again. I did, to no avail. Ditto for trying it with the bundled firmware with the FUSE software. Now when I power up the amp the display screen is blank and the the amp makes a soft cycling buzzing sound. Unusable.

What can I do to restore it to working order?

Thanks!

--Carl.

Well, may have answered my own question. Tried it several more times and it seems to have finally taken.

Question: when I go through the UTILS button on the amp, it only says that it is version 1.6. How do I know that the 1.6.4 firmware was properly applied?

Thanks,

--Carl.

Hey Carl,

I"m glad you were able to successfully update the firmware. The amp can only display two characters of the firmware version. However, this will be addressed when we return to a conventional two digit naming system.

If you've successfully completed the firmware update in Fender FUSE using the Bundled Update option, then you definitely have version 1.6.4. There is no other version included in that version of Fender FUSE.
