Sag is a residual effect in a tube amp which has similar characteristics to compression and is caused when there's a slight voltage drop because of increased current being drawn by the power tubes. On the Mustang this is a simulated effect.

As far as presets, you can download any of the presets that have been placed in the Fuse library using the Fuse software. In order to hear them you'd have to download them first into your amp. In some cases such as those presets put together by "In The Blues" you can listen to them on his YouTube channel.

That is perhaps the best, most succinct, easiest-to-understand explanation of SAG, particularly in the Mustang's context, I've seen. Thanks for posting. (Too many people (including myself) dive into more complex explanations - which while technically accurate, contain detail unnecessary for the question).

Yes. I asked this question a while back and this hits the nail right on the head. I did find the links posted to my question, also posted here, very helpful.
