I use a Mustang 1 for home play and recently purchased a RC-3 for solo "jamming." Perhaps the Mustang I isn't compatible with the RC-3 (of course I know that the RC-3 is twice the cost of the Mustang I so perhaps the answer is simply to buy a new amp but I like the small size). Any ideas as the instructed hook-up doesn't allow the guitar signal to reach the amp.

There is no reason for the RC-3 not to work with the Mustang.

Please post exactly how you've connected everything together.

Also, are you able to test exactly the same setup with a different amp rather than the Mustang? That is, can you confirm that you are getting sound through the RC-3 at all?

One thought: the "instructed hook-up" probably recommends putting the RC-3 in the amp's fx loop, which of course you don't have on the Mustang 1 (or many other small practice amps). There are good reasons for that which I assume are obvious, eg having different effects saved with the looped sound compared to the ones you use with the live sound. However the RC-3 should still work perfectly in-line between the guitar and amp, it just means you can't have different effects on your 'looped' sound compared to the 'live' sound.
