Yes, but there is a USB port. One would need a small device that accepted MIDI on a standard DIN connector and translated to Fender's proprietary binary commands on the USB bus.

There is an existing MIDI spec to use for reference (Floor Pedal). I'm in the process of purchasing an Arduino board and MIDI shield in the hopes of being able to get something operational. I hope to understand at least the basics of the USB control protocol by looking at the open source Linux application for Mustang combo amps.

Heating up with news of control Mustang Amps via a normal microUSB cable with Raspberry Pi running the Linux
http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index. ... ic=6879.25

PLUG - Mustang Amp control under Linux
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/plu ... er-mustang



But there still is work to be done - like a:

* Mustang Amp Command / Control Serial data <> MIDI Interpreter that runs on Raspberry PI (Linux), and then we can use JACK AUDIO/MIDI extension and a common USB Class Compliant MIDI cable

The Goal is creating a small USB Host <>MIDI I/O hardware box for remote MIDI control of the excellent sounding Mustang III/IV/V (V2) Amps using typical MIDI foot pedal ( FCB-1010)

Or beg Fender to release a "Fender Mustang Floor V2"

At VGuitarforums, our members have created similar "crowd sourced" solutions for the missing 5 pin DIN MIDI I/O the bean counters in upper management are happy to remove

* Add missing MIDI I/O to Boss GP-10 with Raspberry PI and USB MIDI Cable
http://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index. ... ic=11998.0

And a gentleman in Sweden created an all in one solution here:
* PRIMOVA - MIDX-10 Roland/Boss compatible 5-pin to USB converter (GP-10 etc.)

An Arduino board with USB and MIDI shields can do the trick electrically, but I'm less sure that there's enough EEPROM and RAM on the controller chip to perform the protocol translation efficiently.

An RPi certainly can handle the logic, but it just seems like overkill. A microcontroller based solution would be less costly to produce (not that I'll ever be in a position to take things to that level).

FWIW - RPI is $35

The Watch Sport has basically every feature you’d want in a smartwatch – a big AMOLED display, built-in GPS, an optical heart rate monitor, LTE connectivity, an IP68 water resistance rating, as well as support for Android Pay.
