Wondering if the Mustang Mini or Mustang 1 would make a good starter ukulele amp? Need a nice clean tone that can handle a hot piezo undersaddle pickup with fairly hot Belcat preamp. The amp needs a good clean tone.

The Fender acoustic amps are too expensive as I'm just getting my feet wet with electric uke and I have no other acoustic electric instruments.

Also considering the Frontman 25R.

If there are any electric uke players here using any of these amps chime right in please!

I can't really claim to be an electric ukulele player but I did buy one recently and have been trying it out on my Mustang III. May be slightly excessive and as it's a piezo pickup it seems to be a little "shrill" but with Fuse and some slight modifications to some of the clean presets (mostly using the Twin Reverb amp model I believe) I've managed to get some quite good sounds out of it. It also sounds good with a bit of OD on there!

As far as I'm aware the basic computer bits of the I will be the same as the III so it would probably make a pretty decent (and far more appropriate in terms of size/volume/wattage/weight) uke amp. Only issue I could see would be that my uke is solid body, a hollow body may not be so easy to balance (my electro acoustic mandolin screams like a banshee if I even try it).
