I would like to get the answer to this question.
But before: what ist TM, v.2 ?
Is there v.1?
I have the Mustang Floor and I have a problem:
When I connect the mustang floor to fender fuse I can not see all the 100 preset in library of the floor. I see only a part of my preset.
I use windows 8.
Can somebody help me?

It's not very probable because the so called V2 Combos seem to be Floor electronics in a box. So in a certain sense you allready have V2 if you have a M-Floor ;)

Yes, Fender please answer this question.

I currently have a Mustang II amp v1 and I am patiently holding off buying a floor (after much thought between this and a Line 6 floor product) based on having an understanding of how this will play out. Particularly given the potential additional effects now in the amps.

Thanks.

It is NOT.

Doesn't have the additional amp models nor the extra effects.

So, Fender?

A hint from somebody from the company would suffice... for now, at least! ;)

Pepe,

If Fender is planning to roll out a Mustang Floor v2 at mid-year or next year... they certainly aren't going to jeapordize current Mustang Floor sales by letting that cat out of the bag early!

Consider this: The Mustang Floor has dropped to $199 US... most of the big stores like Guitar Center and Musician's Friend usually have a coupon for 15% off bringing a brand spanking new MF down to $170! That is cheaper than most any two new analog stompboxes... it is the best value out there in effects units!

If Fender does come out with a Mustang Floor v2... it will almost certainly be priced at $299-$399. If having a v2 for the few extra models and effects is worth that price difference to you, then you could purchase the v2 and easily sell your old MF v1 for $100-$150 on the used market.

So my advice is to run out and buy a Mustang Floor while you can at the super-low price it is at now and enjoy it!

A V.2 Floor makes no sense, the only reason they brought out the V.2 amps was to fix the fizz, and Floor has no fizz.

I think your preconcieved ideas offuscate your capacity of reasoning.

For the record, I've owned both a MII, a MIII, and since last november a M-Floor.

Guess what? All of them were/are "completely and absolutely fizz-free".

I've heard some MIIIs with the "fizz", but in all cases was negligible in a playing situation.

Guess how I know? Only because I've played AND even recorded Live with "fizzed" MIIIs and the "fizz" was nowhere to be heard, not even when that particulary amp was used by itself, backing a song with only a guitar and voice playing.

This is not to forgive Fender 'bout their antics, mind you; I'm just putting things into what *I* think is the right prospective.

HTH,

Read the hundreds of posts from guys who do have debilitating fizz and either call them liars or admit it was a serious problem.

Those hundreds of posts come from a dozen or so of very vocal posters, which *I* think some used as an excuse to blame their own incapacity to make music with their gear.

The gear was faulty? Yes, some of them they were, no doubt about it.

Were they totally unusable to make music? Most of them were much more capable to make music than their respective owners, if you ask me.

That's what I, for one, think; based on my *own* experience with both "good" and "bad" MIIIs.

If you wanna make music, simply NOTHING can deterr you from the fact.

Just look what Django Reinhart did with only *two* fingers on his left hand...

Your Honor, I rest my case!

The thing is, theoretically what your saying may sound logical but... you're just stating your opinions as proof where you have none...

If you can link to half a dozen individual [different] posters from anywhere on the net that show evidence that they've experienced debilitating fizz... I'll eat my MIII V.1.

Three points here re. the above argument:

1. There are NO confirmed reports that Fender has fixed "the fizz" in the new V2 Mustangs. Fender never really acknowledged "the fizz" issue in the Mustang V1 amps. The V2 amps simply offer a few extra amp models and effects, better direct recording options (xlr outputs) and a redesigned chassis... which was probably only done to visually distinguish the V2s from the V1s. That is all you should expect to get with a V2 Mustang... you may very well find that "the fizz" is still alive and well in some of the V2 amps. That is why its important to be aware of the problem so you can check the amp out before you buy or return the amp within the return period to get one without "the fizz" issue.

2. Some of this I am reiterating from other threads... but the Mustang Floor was an odd beast for Fender. Fender is not very heavily into the "effects pedals" market; they have primarily developed their DSP for incorporation into onboard amp effects. The MF is their first and only floorboard ever so far! I have no idea how successful the MF has been for Fender; but it has a serious marketing problem in that the competition in the floorboard modeler market is fierce (Line 6 POD, Zoom, Roland/Boss, VOX, Behringer the list goes on) and most of the MF's competition has had much more time on the market and has cornered a lot of the marketplace among potential pedalboard/effects modeler consumers. Not so much the case with the Mustang Amps themselves... the competition in the marketplace among affordable solid-state digital modeling amps is also fierce; however Fender has the advantage of a undisputedly elite name brand recognition and quality reputation when it comes to amplifiers. What guitarist at any skill level doesn't want to own "a Fender" amongst their amp arsenal? I know for a fact that the Mustang line has been very successful for Fender; but I bet that the Floor has been the "black sheep of the family" because even die-hard Fender amp players might not think twice about jumping to another brand when it comes to buying a pedal or effects processor to use with their beloved Fender amp.

3. The MF might have been distracting from sales of the actual Mustang amps themselves and, vice-versa, the amps probably caused the MF not to sell as well. I may get boos from Mustang III and Iv fans out there; but I have spent quality time with both of those amps and I am thoroughly certain that my Floor jacked into my near-vintage Fender Power Chorus 212 (which is also a solid-state amp mind you) blows the Mustang III and IV away! With the combo of my MF and Power CHorus, why would I ever buy a Mustang amp? So by introducing the MF to the market, consumers have the option of purchasing it for their existing amp rather than buying a Mustang Amp to get that set of models and effects. Conversely, at the original price point of $300 - $350, consumers probably often passed on buying a MF when they could get a Mustang III for the same price.

I think 2 and 3 above are the reasons that the MF dropped to $200. It is now an outstanding value and both undercuts the floorboard competition and the Mustang III. But is Fender making enough profit to keep manufacturing it?

I love this attitude that we're in a court of law and posters must provide "proof" to the Imperial Be-wigged Judges above. What are we in some Monte Python skit or something? Get a life.

But mainly, get off your lazy asses and do some research. Read the thousands of posts relating to Fizzgate all over the web. I have, you haven't. Call Fender. I have, you haven't.

Or continue to bathe in the filth of your own ignorance. I could care less.
