I have to say that would be awesome to control it from my phone in a pinch at gigs.

Not so awesome when someone else who disregards the max legal output range for bluetooth controls it or jams the signal.

naturally you would need to be able to turn the Bluetooth function on and off. So you turn it on and immediately connect to it. If someone's blasting it out, oh well, how often would that come up realistically? Maybe once in the lifetime of the amp? I still think it's worthwhile to do the R&D.

Further, how about a wi-fi-enabled Mustang? Then you could connect the amp directly to fuse.fender.com and download presets, firmware updates, etc, without the need for a PC at all.

Great ideas. But the price of the amp would be way up there by the time they figured it all out.

I suspect a Bluetooth modeling amp series is in the works similar to Line 6's new AmpliFI line. Maybe Summer NAMM?

Doubt they will stick to the Mustang moniker though because the Bluetooth line probably won't interface with FUSE and will have a new interface that is perhaps tablet/smartphone compatible.

If Fender's new iOS compatible Strat is any indicator, it might be compatible with Apple only... huge mistake if they snub the Android users!

It would be feasible for Fender to manufacture a Bluetooth dongle for the Mustangs that plugs into the USB port... but I won't hold my breath!
