Hi all,

I'm looking for the "hidden" Effects for Mustang I, Fuzz, Pitch Shifter, Touch Wah, etc.
How do I locate and install them using...FUSE? I did not see a tutorial for adding an effect, only a preset.

Also, only currently interested in official Fender released effects for the amp for now, not community ones (yet). Thanks!

Yes you need to use FUSE. That will give you access to the full set of amp models and effects, and all their parameters.

Also, you don't need to "install" any effects onto your amp, they're all already there! It's just that it's hard/impossible to access some of them directly using the amp's controls. FUSE is the interface that lets you do that.

Further, the community presets don't add any additional effects to the amp: they're just pre-configured combinations of the existing effects. That's useful to save you working out how to obtain a particular sound, but you can still do it all directly with your own amp and FUSE without using those.

Finally, make sure you have the latest firmware (1.10) and FUSE version (2.6.0.25). The link in the "1.10 Announcement" topic in this forum are broken (hey Fender TSL, can you fix this please!) so I'll put everything here to help you:

Description of firmware update procedure, changes in 1.10, links to actual download files:
http://www.fender.com/support/articles/ ... mplifiers/

Note the above page contains links to different versions of the firmware. To install 1.10 on a Mustang 1, you want this one:
http://support.fender.com/software/fend ... 1_1.10.upd

This is the link for the latest version of FUSE:
PC: http://wpc.077d.edgecastcdn.net/00077D/ ... 6.0.25.exe
Mac: http://wpc.077d.edgecastcdn.net/00077D/ ... 6.0.25.dmg

Note the FUSE installer includes a firmware update. Check what version that is and what your amp has. FUSE gives you the option to update your amp either with its included firmware, or with one you've downloaded separately (such as the 1.10 update above).

I can't remember which firmware version is included with this latest version of FUSE, but whichever source you use, make sure you put 1.10 onto your amp, if it doesn't already have it. Some people have accidentally "updated" their amps to older firmware versions and had problems as a result.
