Just purchased a Mustang III, I did the initial testing that you would usually do with a new product after purchase and everything seemed find. I connected the amp up via the USB port to load the software. EVerything went find, including a Mustang III update - The site requested that I load the update because the amp was a revision down. The update loaded find with no indicated errors per the online explained process. The next day I powered up the amp and the LCD screen was blank with the save light illuminated. I had to power cycle the amp a couple of times to clear this issue. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am wondering if I should reload the update once again, but prior to doing anything I thought that I would create the post so that I would not re-invent the wheel so to speak. Thanks!

Yup, had the same issue shortly after updating to Fuse 2.4.0/Firmware 1.8 on my Mustang III except my screen didn't come back after a few power cycles. I had to reset the amp back to the factory state which wasn't an issue as I don't have a lot of customized presets. I ran the update again and everything has been fine since...

Likely just a glitch, still LOVE my Mustang III!

Sounds like a bug. The flashing Save light tells me that maybe the amp is booting in firmware update mode somehow. Do you notice any strange behavior with the encoder knob?

Appreciate the replies - Nothing strange with the encoder, I will reset to factory defaults and go from there as a first step and see what happens. Will let you know what happens! Thanks Again!
