I recently bought a Mustang™ I (V.2) and love it. It's my first Fender amp and I'm glad I went this way. I'm having an issue with Guitar Center and getting the correct foot switch that plugs into the 1/4" plug on the control panel. We tried a couple off-brand foot switches in the store and none of them seemed to work. What was happening was that when the switch button was pressed, it would bounce between to of the voicings and not actually change from one to the next. As a matter of fact, the switches would momentarily bounce to one other voicing and then bounce back to the first voicing upon releasing the button.

At this point, the salesman looked up on the computer what foot switch Fender recommended and we ordered that one. When it came in, I found it did the same thing; a Fender brand switch. So I took that pedal back and now, I'm waiting on them to contact someone, anyone at Fender for some help. This is nearly a month later and I still don't have a pedal, or info from anyone.

Does anyone here know what pedal, (brand and model please) will work with this amp?

Thanks!

Hi Violentlee

this is the correct footswitch for the Mustang I/II

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie ... unior-amps?

It is a simple open/closed type switch so any switch that operates as such should work. I opted to build my own out of a spare stomp switch and MXR size pedal housing i had since i didn't care for the round design of the fender one but you should be good with that one.

enjoy the new amp.

note: it only allows switching between two presets so don't expect it to cycle through the presets.

On page 9 of the "Quick Start Guide" that came with your Mustang, you'll find the answer to your question. You need Fender part number 099-4049-000.

If for any reason you didn't get the Quick Start Guide with your amp, you can find it and the Advanced Manual here:

Any simple, latching footswitch should work though. It sounds as though you've been trying to use a non-latching footswitch.
