Is there a pdf manual file for the 4 button foot switch? If so where is it located. I went to the download manual page and didn't see it. I would like to see what all can be programmed on the foot switch. Thanks in advance. RockinT

I think everything's on page 5 of the Mustang Manual

There's not a lot that is programmed for the foot switch, apart from the three "Quick Access" presets. The other modes have fixed functions ([bank] up/down, toggle effects [if any] off/on).

PITA

FWIW -

With the 4-button footswitch, I keep the main preset I like on '0' since that is what it defaults to every time the amp in powered on. Then I set the 3 quick access presets I like to QA1, QA2, QA3 in utilities menu. After that I will keep presets I like in slot 10,20,30,40 etc. (every 10) so I can use the 4-button footswitch to toggle up/down by 10 ('banks' of 10), or by 1 preset.

So, I guess you could call this 13 Quick Access Spots to use to go up/down on the 4-button footswitch. Also handy to keep the 2-button footswitch set to up/down for when you go elsewhere on the 4-button switch.

It works ok for me, but it would be better if there were some more options in the utilities menu.... such as..... reverb on/off isn't an option for the 4-button switch... (that I have noticed).

Another thing I just noticed.... If you are on a preset and change something (like volumn) and the red light comes on so you have the option to save the change.... if you then use up/down on the footswitch... the 'amp' in use will change in the preset you are on. I'm not saying this is bad, its something I just noticed. Don't hit save by mistake.... posssibly a good reason to keep 'memory lock' turned On in the utilities menu.

That's a great idea! I've just got the presets I like all saved near the front of the list (1, 2, 3, etc.) and it drives me nuts sometimes cycling through everything with the wheel to find what I'm looking for. This'll be the first thing I do once my 4-button switch arrives. (Ordered it last week, so it should be here any day now…)

Like all good ideas, simple and brilliant!

Gigged mine for the first time last weekend. I have the four button and two button. At home just use the four button with my three main presets on Q1-Q2-Q3. Q1 is a Bassman and Q2 is a Deluxe. Both clean with gain set just on the edge. Both have the OD stomp assigned and a Tremolo stomp. Q3 is a SuperSonic set for higher gain no stomp. We're just blues and that's all the presets I need. On stage had the four button sitting back by the amp out of the way, only changed pre-sets between songs and checking tuning real quick. Had the two button up front where I could kick in the OD or Tremolo when needed.

It worked great, did not miss having my pedal board, which isn't that big itself. And the TONE! WOW!
