Mustang II 1-button Footswitch Instructions

Connect a 1-button footswitch into the FTSW jack to enable remote selection of your two favorite presets.

The LED (next to the FTSW jack) will turn red or green to indicate which footswitch preset is active.

To program the footswitch:

1. Select a preset that you want to assign to the footswitch.
:idea: Note: The preset must not be modified, the SAVE button must
NOT be illuminated to proceed to step 2.


2. Press the SAVE button. The SAVE and EXIT buttons should
be flashing rapidly.
:idea: Note: You can press EXIT at this point to
cancel the footswitch assignment process.


3. Press the footswitch button to select either the red or
green LED next to the FTSW jack to associate with the
chosen preset.

4. Press the SAVE button to confirm the footswitch
assignment. Now when you press the footswitch, the
chosen preset will be activated with the assigned red or
green footswitch indicator.

lol I kind of figured one or the other was typed incorrectly, I guessed the wrong one :wink:

Mustang III 2-button Footswitch Instructions

Connect a 2-button footswitch to your Mustang amplifier to enable remote multi-function foot control.

Use the Utility menus to assign one of the following functions to the 2-button footswitch:

• Select presets (up/down)
• Select Quick Access presets (QA1/QA2)
• Bypass effects (various combinations)
• Set TAP interval


1. Press the UTIL button on the top of the amplifier to enter the Utility menu

2. Press the UTIL button 3 more times until the display reads 2-Btn Ftsw Mode. If you pass it by accident, just keep pressing UTIL until it comes around again

3. The footswitch will be set to Down/Up (default setting)

4. Turn the DATA WHEEL until the desired footswitch function is selected

5. Once the desired function is selected, press EXIT. The last thing you chose will stay.

These are the available functions:

a. Down/Up - choose this function if you'd like to simply scroll up and down through the presets. This allows you to scroll through all 100 presets in a linear fashion (in other words, you can't skip from preset 01 to preset 10 without pressing the Up button 9 times or the Down button 91 times).

b. QA1/QA2 - choose this function if you'd like to use the pedal to switch between 2 Quick Access presets of your choosing. You will not be able to scroll through the rest of the presets using the pedal if you choose this option.

c. Stomp/Mod - choose this option if you'd like button 1 to turn a stomp box for the selected preset on and off, and button 2 to turn a modulation effect for the selected preset on and off. You will not be able to scroll through the rest of the presets using the pedal if you choose this option.

d. Stomp/Delay - choose this option if you'd like button 1 to turn a stomp box for the selected preset on and off, and button 2 to turn the delay effect for the selected preset on and off. You will not be able to scroll through the rest of the presets using the pedal if you choose this option.

e. Stomp/Reverb - choose this option if you'd like button 1 to turn a stomp box for the selected preset on and off, and button 2 to turn the reverb effect for the selected preset on and off. You will not be able to scroll through the rest of the presets using the pedal if you choose this option.

f. Stomp/Tap - choose this option if you'd like button 1 to turn a stomp box for the selected preset on and off, and button 2 to set delay time or modulation rate settings for the selected preset by rhythmically pressing button 2. You will not be able to scroll through the rest of the presets using the pedal if you choose this option.

:idea: NOTE: You might wonder why there are 3 Quick Access slots when there are only 2 buttons on the footswitch. That's where the optional 4-button footswitch comes in. You can use it by itself to get similar options to the 2-button footswitch, but with a little more flexibility:

4-Button Footswitching options

Connect a 4-button footswitch to your Mustang amplifier to enable remote multi-function foot control. The footswitch display and LEDs show you some of the same information as the amplifier screen, so you can, for example, tune your guitar and select presets by watching the footswitch without ever looking at the screen onboard the Mustang III!

• Select Quick Access presets (QA1/QA2/QA3)
• Select presets (up/down/bank)
• Bypass effects
• Activate the Tuner


You can also use the 2-button and 4-button footswitches together to gain access to more than a dozen footswitch options:

6-Button Footswitching options

Plug both a 4-button and a 2-button footswitch into your Mustang amplifier to expand your remote control options. By assigning different functions to each footswitch you can create more than a dozen different foot control combinations.

For example, you could assign Quick Access presets to the 4-button footswitch and Up/Down presets to the 2-button footswitch. Or you could bypass effects with the 4-button footswitch and select presets with the 2-button footswitch.

anytime! by the time I had the instructions made I ended up changing my pedal config for the better. I went with the QA1/QA2 config since I really only need 2 sounds in my current band. I can't wait to pick up the 4-button footswitch, so many options!

I just can't imagine how I could play without the 6 button options. I use my 2 buttons for up and down and the 4 buttons to control effects. No more tap dancing that way! My bandmates was laughing at me every time I was switching options with only the 4 buttons switch :lol: . Now I can have all my concentration on my guitar and not on my feet.

I had mine with my mustang V head so i bought the 2 buttons for 25$ butconsidering the benefits, I would have bought it at 60$ but that's always a question of what we need. I need A LOT of versatility, that's why I bought the mustang.
