Hello
I currently have a fender mustang floor. My amp has given up so i am going to purchase a mustang III V.2
Does anybody know if the mustang floor can be used to control the mustang amp.
I plan just using the amp models and effects on the amp.
it would be great if i could use the mustang floor to control the amp only.
it would save me purchasing the extra 4 button footswitch and the expression pedal.

Thanks for your help on this.

Regards

Darren

No, the Mustang Floor cannot be used as a controller for a Mustang amp.

However, you don't need to do this. You can get the identical effect (both in terms of control and sound) by using your Mustang Floor for all the amp modelling and effects, and plugging its output into the 'fx return' of a Mustang amp. So you're just using the Mustang amp as a power amp, bypassing its effects.

(If it helps, think of a Mustang amp as simply a Mustang Floor in a cabinet with a power amp and speaker, and with different controls. You only need one Mustang unit in the signal chain, so you can either use the one in the amp if you like its controls (knbos on the amp etc) or use the Mustang Floor and bypass the Mustang unit in the amp, if you prefer the Floor's controls, etc).

A similar alternative is not to buy a guitar amp at all, but instead buy a powered monitor and plug the output of your Mustang Floor into that (eg Tech 21 Power Engine seems to be used to good effect by Mustang Floor owners).
