Before buying my new Mustang III last week I had heard some reports about Fizz but also heard that this had been fixed with the V2. Last night, after a few days of playing with it, I heard what must be the fizz they meant. After a chord or even a single note, if it was left to die out, there would be a sound like a faint rain stick trailing off. I thought this problem had been fixed? Anyone else seeing this with the new version?

The fizz sound is more like a scitar sound ending the guitar notes.

this is a good V1 fizz example:

Fizz is practically gone on V2 amps.
Having had a V1 and now a V2 amp, and as a fizz specialist :) I can tell it's 95% gone on v2 amps. You can still find it if you really, really look for it, and only with some pickups and amp settings, but it is really insignificant.

The fizz is completely gone on my Mustang V 2.0, and I'm perfectionist when I record my $@!&! ;)

Btw the fizz dissapears on my ol' Mustang V 1.0 in our band rehersal room when master is set at 8-9

I'll bet that preset has compression on it...

Hi,

The "fizz" on the clean tones has gone or if there is, it is totally irrelevant ...
However, there is still a certain type of clipping issues that occur at various stages when you push various types of amp model into overdrive with a fuzz or overdrive pedal ... (which is usually done with the real thing)
perhaps the new owners of Mustangs notice this thing and could think that it is the "fizz" ..
I improperly call it the "fizz" (or buzz) on saturated tones.

Dimitri

Was it a factory preset or something you programmed? Do you remember what preset it was?

It was something I had set. I don't remember all the parameters but it was a Fender Twin and I believe the "Blackbox".

mustang amps have no fizz. you heard fret buzz from your guitar being picked up by the super awesome amp, which simply amplifies exactly what your guitar gives it, or the sound a real "blackbox" makes.

The decay with the "Black Box" is not as clean as with the real Rat pedal. I'll agree there as i've A/B'd it and bought a Rat pedal based on what I found. Works great on Rhythm but yes on leads i didn't find it quite as smooth. That said. Try lowering your pickups. I had a bit of an annoying sound in my setup. More prominent on the Marshall models. Lowering the pickups helped immensely.

Excuse me if the sound you mention is another one, but that "filtered decay" effect sometimes heard on driven amp models on the V.2 Mustangs isn't the same one that you can hear in this review of that famous british 'M' amp everyone knows about?:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR3Os80p0u4

around the 2:20 mark and on it can be heard quite clearly

I've heard that sound being produced by other amps too, so if an expensive tube amp does it, wouldn't it actually be a modeling feature of the Mustangs instead?

No fizz on the Mustang, but sometimes the noise gate on any amp can cause some funkiness on decaying notes. Check if the noise gate is engaged. Turn it off and hear if that makes a difference.

Yup, and that's a pretty cool natural fuzz "effect" of overdriven tubes. Try using a humbucker neck position, turn down the tone knob, turn up the volume knob and you can get a creamy fuzz box sound. Works nice through an "M" amp. ;)

Check the noise gate too. Turn it completely off if possible.
