Now that the PR is out, Fender can tell us if us current Mustang owners can get the new stuff as a firmware update/upgrade.

And the answer is...

This is a great question. For me this will be the deal breaker. If you have to upgrade every time they come up with a new version that would be a PINA.

I anticipate one of two answers:

1. There will be an upgrade fee, just like any other computer software.

or...

2. The old Mustangs do not have enough memory for the new firmware.

Yeah, I'm as cynical as you are. But they owe us something for Fizzgate!

Maybe the Mustang Floor can be v. 2.0 firmware updated? Or ROM updated?

If so, I'll be happier than than happy.

When you think about it, they built the hardware to incorporate regular firmware/ROM expansion. That's the whole concept of updates and upgrades: it will always expand, get bigger, need more mem. Thus if they built in zero expansion mem space they would have been defeating the whole concept from the getgo. And hell, I don't mind spending a few bucks for 5 more amps and more EFX. The pitch shift I don't need, but somebody does.

Bring it on, Fender!

Frente, this topic: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=82476 contains a couple of links. It seems the official Fender announcement isn't public yet, people have managed to find a couple of trade articles and a retail website that accidentally posted the info prematurely then pulled it.

No response? I thought the point of being here was that actual Fender guys would respond.

I really hope so. I would love the Big Muff and Tube Screamer effects but I wouldn't buy V. 2 for them. Come on Fender!

OT: It would be cool if you could go into "amp building" and "effects building" mode in FUSE. That is a long shot but would be a really neat idea.

I guess Fender doesn't bother to talk to us lowly customers anymore. After Fizzgate, I don't blame 'em!
