I wish Fender would work on the delays... I think those are kinda weak.Do most people on here like the mustang delays?Hope this isn't a derail, more of a side street.

I like Fender's delays and I have a good outboard one as well that I don't use with the Mustangs. Delay along with the expression pedal is a good thing especially during solos. What I do not like is that you cannot set the the delay to an exact time in milliseconds.

Would it be possible for Fender to release a patch to update the MF to include the new effects?


Possible? Maybe.

Will it happen? No.

Fender has nothing to gain by giving Floor users for free what they made Mustang amp users trade-in and buy new all over again to get. Especially so after they dropped the price of the Floor to under $200. If anything, Fender would have released a Floor V.2. at the original price point and many folks on the boards thought that was about to happen when the original Floor's price plummeted. But they didn't release a V.2 and I wouldn't hold my breath for one this late in the game!

IMNSHO though... the Mustang Floor is still the best value in a floorboard effects processor on the face of the planet at the new price!

I wonder if they are still manufacturing them at this point or if they are just selling off inventory?

I have another post about how my mustang floor expression pedal volume is too low when compared to when the pedal volume is set to the volume pedal off position,i really did not get an answer from anyone with a mustang floor that had this same volume pedal problem?

Maybe someone here can tell me if they can hear a difference in volume with there mustang floor expression pedal volume after it is calibrated and then compared to the volume pedal off position?

Surely the newer Mustang amps had more to offer than a few new patches?

They could charge a few bucks for the patch for MF owners I'm sure.
It'd still be cheaper than buying individual pedals.
PLUS have the option of running them in patches instead of trying to click off the Tube Screamer and turn on the clean/chorus at the same time.

Love my MF. Does everything I want it to do.
Bought mine right before they dropped the price.
IMHO, worth every $ spent.
No regrets.

I would wager that some get caught up in the aesthetics of things.
Of course this is what catches ones eye but I'll take function over form any day.
And probably, for most hard rock/metal(ish) type players, most of the Fender Amp's just don't have the .... Contemporary? Metal, dark, cutting edge "look" that many others do.

Despite the beautiful sound Fender amps make they "appear" to be much more at home in a soft rock, blues/country type setting vs say, Metallica. haha

Completely agree...

Fender "evokes" a classic rock, jazz and country vibe way more than a hard rock vibe. Partly because Fender chooses to market its hard rock axes and amps under the Jackson, EVH and SWR monikers... so you don't get that "Fender" connection.

Due to the lack of "dirt" in the V.1 models... the Floor and V.1 Mustangs aren't going to appeal to the metalists as much as Line 6, period. Even the V.2s probably will only appeal to "casual metalists" like me who also expect phenomenal cleans and blues sounds (which Line 6 just simply doesn't do well at all!)

The Floor is a bit of a weird "hybrid." It has the software of the V.1 amps but the hardware more akin to the V.2 (XLR outputs and whatnot.) The V.2 amps supposedly operate on better DSP as well as the new effects and amp models... but other than the new models the only major draw to V.2 is the XLR outs.
