Hi!
Just brought my first serious Amp, a Mustang IV. I'm loving experimenting with all the preset amps and different sounds but I was wondering if this amp has a sound of it's own? Is there a set-up I can use that I can say "there, that is my Mustang IV amp". Or is there a preset out there that someone has created?

thanks

AndyB

No. This is a digital modeling amp, it's mostly made to allow the amp models to sound through. But try downloading the preset "empty" by PITA, mentioned in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=62614

Hi AndyB,

I own the Mustang III, but the differences to yours are not important to answer your question.

Be aware, that the Mustangs are not Amps in a classical manner, but basically computers with a sound output unit. They don’t have a sound of it's own, because there are no transistors or valves influencing the input signal. Well, since the input signal must be amplified there must be electronic components on the signal path, but they are as much linear as the price for the Mustangs allows and should not influence the signal. In the ‘middle’ of the signal path is a DSP (Digital speech processor), which fed with the proper software brings the Amp to live. Controlled by the software of the Mustang III/IV/V the DSP modulates different, more or less, real Amps. So, we didn’t got an Amp, but a machine that integrates by simulation a bunch of them :D . You find them in the original preset set from place 88 upwards and they are characterized by having no effects set.

Thanks for the reponses chaps. I thought that might be the case.
Still really impressed by the Mustang.
I'll try & download the "empty" preset mentioned by mpr.

ruiafonso and buzzalad , in this discussion,
DSP does not stand for Digital speech processor, it is
Digital Signal Processor.

That's fairly accurate. As Rui says, the amp has no sound of it's own.
