The Mustang amps have various 'hidden' controls; things like: "press and hold a button while turning a knob" etc. These aren't well described in the product documentation, neither does there seem to be an overall list on the Fender support website anywhere. So I thought it would be useful to create a 'reference' topic here, defining all these controls. I'll start with the ones I know about and for convenience of future readers I'll update this list in the base topic with any others people can add as replies (and any corrections!).

EXP-1 Calibration (Mustang 3, 4, 5, Floor)
- Press and hold UTIL while turning amp on; UTIL LED should light for 1 second
- Move expression pedal fully to heel position then fully to toe position
- Turn the encoder knob (aka "data wheel") to the next preset to complete the process

Perform "Factory Reset" on amp (all Mustang models)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning amp on
- There is also one report that pressing and holding the DATA WHEEL while turning the amp on does a factory reset too

Adjust the USB Audio Output Gain (all Mustang models)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning VOLUME knob (nb not Master Volume knob)
- The USB gain can also be adjusted in FUSE

Adjust MID-Range EQ (Mustang 1 and 2; requires firmware 1.10)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning the TREBLE knob

Adjust BASS EQ (Mustang Mini)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning the TREBLE knob

Adjust Modulation-Effect Level (Mustang 1 and 2)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning the MOD knob

Adjust Delay or Reverb Level (Mustang 1 and 2)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning the DLY/REV knob

Adjust Effect Level (Mustang Mini)
- Press and hold EXIT while turning the EFFECTS knob

Press-and-hold-UTIL-while-turning-data-wheel
- This is documented by Fender (in the firmware 1.9 release notes) as doing something, but there is no mention what that is

Hi scott-uk,

Thanks very kindly for posting this. I wanted to chime in and add a link to the list that we have up on the Fender® Support site as well.

Best Regards,

Alan

Hi Alan, Thanks for that link.

Do you know what "Press-and-hold-UTIL-while-turning-encoder" does? The Mustang firmware 1.9 release notes mention it (eg see this post from Fender TSL: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=68423&p=814011#p814011), but don't say what this does. I've tried it on my own amp, and it just seems to do the same as repeatedly pressing the UTIL button, should it do something else?
