I feel a little guilty posting this after the last thread I started but here goes.

I wish Fender would add a "Mix" knob to the Cab Sim parameter - especially on the amps since they already have real cab being used. It would be nice to be able to control how much or how little of the cab sim is being sent to the amp's actual speaker. This feature should of course have no effect on the signal being sent to the headphone out or USB.

That is a good idea but i would also like to see fender add there version of hyper modeling, something like what digitech did with there GNX guitar processors so you can blend two different amp and cab models together for greater tone variations.

That would likely have to happen on a newer Mustang, Metalman. I think that the current model's processor already has a big enough job crunching the numbers for the current models. I think everyone has made note of that odd sound you get when switching presets. That, I believe, is the processor "catching up" and getting all the parameters set for the newly chosen preset.

That said, if it could be done with the same attention to detail as the current Mustangs, it would indeed be a cool feature. It has always been my observation of the GNX's sound that its single amp models still can't hold a candle to the that of the Mustangs'. Certainly the dual amp sounds have their own appeal but imagine what it would sound like with two very good sounding models combined.

Orcatraz,yes this feature would have to added to a newer version of the mustang but i still think fender should consider it.

I have a digitech GNX3 that i use through the effect return of my laney solid state 120w amp head and then into a marshall 1960 A 4x12 cab and i get some really good warm fender clean tones out of it,these tones are a little better then the clean tones that i get from my mustang V head into my line 6 spider 4x12 cab.

I would say that the hyper modeling in my GNX3 makes it possible to get better amp model tones out of it,that being said my mustang V sounds very close tone wise to my GNX3 with the fender clean models,no other guitar amp modeler or guitar amp modeling processor that i have can get the fender clean tone and warmth that i can get out of my mustang V and GNX3.

Always worth giving Fender ideas for the "Mark II" versions.

The cabinet blending was one I'd thought of as well. While I was researching amps, I found it notable how many artists use a mixture of cabinets to get their signature sound.

Another "next gen" feature I'd like to see is a "pass through" mode to the USB interface, so I can record clean guitar parts for Ableton, and patch with Amplitude, for instance. It would really make the Mustang series a "one-stop" solution for those of us just getting into areas beyond just playing a guitar through an amp.

Great idea; another opinion: I think this should be available through the headphone and USB - ie so it needs to be configurable which outputs it applies to. I realise this complicates the signal chain.

Do you mean like the split signal chain / dual amp capability on eg the Boss GT100 or Line 6 POD HD 500? Yes that would be good too.

Although, in the first instance, if a future Mustang amp has a higher but still finite DSP limit, I'd prefer Fender to allow more flexibility in the choice of effects that can be used simultaneously (eg lift the "only one each of stomp / mod / delay / reverb" etc), and allow more than four effects. I'm curious on others' opinions whether that would be more useful overall than dual/blended amps, if you could only have one or the other?

Not sure, as I've never played with either, but I suspect that's right.

As far as this versus more effects, it might not have to be either/or. Perhaps if the signal chain was organized as a number of devices, in totality, as opposed to X number of pre-amp effects, X number of amps, and X number of post-amp effects, it would give the user a choice... more effects on a single amp, or fewer effects, and two or more amps.

Download and audition the "Empty" preset, it may work for you (it's also possible to add the Mustang's effects only if you so desire).

PITA
