Hello everyone,

just received my Mustang III v.2 yesterday and went through with testing, getting to know the hardware, installing software & updates, registering 3rd party stuff and whatnot as I do with every new pieve of gear. I figured a firmware update wouldn't hurt so I tried to find out what firmware is installed and found a version information via the "util" button which showed 2.2. That can't be the firmware, I thought, as the current firmware listed at the support site is 2.1. So I went ahead and flashed the 2.1 firmware onto the amp just to find out the version information on the amp now shows 2.1. So at least now I know that it in fact is the firmware version that is displayed.

Now, what is the difference between 2.1 and 2.2 and why isn't it available for download? And more importantly: did I introduce some bugs or shortcomings by downgrading which I - of course - have not yet encountered due to the limited time I spent with the amp?

Best
Tim

When I got my new M3v2 home I immediately upgraded the firmware (habit for any device). I now see that I am at version 2.1. Now I wish I had checked what was on it before I upgraded. Maybe I "downgraded" without realizing? Not that it matters...I can't say how much I love this amp. I am falling in love with the SuperSonic burn channel model lately...so tasty!

I recently bought a tube amp(Bugera 333XL, modified, re-caped and re-soldered by the previous owner, hi-gain metal amp) and thought it was gonna blew the Mustang away in the hi-gains. It didn't. I was quite suprised that the Mustang had better cleans while my tube amp had better hi-gain modern metal tones - it didnt blew the mustang away in the hi-gain section though! It was just slightly tighter and slightly more distorted.

The crunch-sections are likewise, Bugera for modern crunch, Mustang for vintage/rocknroll/indie crunch.

And the Mustang V is 290€ new and the 333XL is 500€ new. I gotta say that the Mustang is real good bang for the bucks!

I tried unsuccessfully to download firmware update 2.2... when I hit the download button nothing happens... at least nothing I can detect. Bundled firmware update in Fuse does not pick up 2.2 The support site lists the upgrades to the Wah simulations as well as a couple of items

Fender... what's up? :?:

Ok quick update... FENDER Check this out...

When you go through FUSE, Community, Product Support you reach a page entitled "Mustang V2 Support"...scroll down and there is a link to the 2.2 update - it is DEAD!

When I go to the top of this forum click support, select Mustang V2, scroll down to the bottom the link for 2.2 works, at least to save a file. I have not tried to apply it yet.

FWIW, I installed the 2.2 from the link and everything seems fine.

From the above tip:

Fender Mustang firmware version 2.2 is the current version of Mustang firmware.

There are various fixes and enhancements in this version including but not limited to:

● Corrected behavior of HiQ control setting in Touch Wah and Pedal Wah effects.
● Improved responsiveness to Rate control changes in the Step Filter effect.
● Improvements to Small Hall, Large Hall and Room reverbs (maintained stereo reverb output).
● Revised LCD contrast factory default setting and control range.
● Known issues: None.

I did the upgrade and I think the reverbs sound a tad better (kind of more spatial, at least using headphones)


for those still looking for it, this is the link to the firmware for M 3,4,5
http://support.fender.com/software/fend ... g3_2.2.zip

and for M 1,2
http://support.fender.com/software/fend ... g1_2.2.zip


just open the zip file, put the single file inside it into the fuse update directory (for windows 7 would be similar to C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\Fender\FUSE\Updates), open fuse, turn on your mustang with the datawheel pushed and the rest will be automatic.
