Post subject: Recording through USB comes before FX loop...

I've been recording using the USB support for quite some time now, and just got my first FX pedals from a friend. They work fine, when I play it on the amp they work very well, but when I try to record through USB, it records the sound pre-FX. Is there a way for me to change this... processing order?

Which Mustang version do you have? If a V2, see here:
http://www.fender.com/support/articles/ ... mplifiers/

which in turn points to this (all of which can be found, for your future reference, on the Fender Support site with a simple search for "Mustang Loop"):
http://support.fender.com/manuals/guita ... tsLoop.pdf

In short, set the amp's "Loop Position" to "Normal."

(If the Loop Position is set to "Looper Pedal" then the fx loop is only in the circuit going to USB-out if you're using headphones. Initially that sounds odd, but if you think about the technicalities, there is a reason/limitation it has to be that way.)

Note there is only one (that I'm aware of) situation in which the Loop Position needs to be set to "Looper Pedal" - if you are indeed using a looper pedal, AND while using it you want to switch between presets that have different cab simulations. Eg one preset to record the loop track, and a different one with different cab simulation to play 'live' over the recorded track. Presumably if you're doing USB recording, you aren't simultaneously using a looper pedal (as you'd want to record the backing and lead tracks to USB separately), so you don't need that setting for the Loop Position.

It is not a v2 :( (Mustang III by the way)

What a shame, I probably bought my amp a few months before the v2 came out last year, I had never heard of it (in fact I clicked on your link and tried to follow it for about ten minutes). Is there any known way of doing this with a v1? It seems like.. a basic task, really. Thanks for your help!
