I am desperately trying to get a decent acoustic guitar sound from my Mustang GT-100. It is supposed to have a full range speaker so it should be possible but I haven't hit on an amp/speaker combo that works for me. I have put in a request for an acoustic amp model but in the meantime, does anybody have a tone they could share? In theory, the studio preamp through a small speaker should do the trick but the studio preamp has very low volume compared to the other amps.

Problem solved (at a price). I bought a Fishman Platinum Stage preamp. This gives the boost I need to use the Studio Preamp and also has a parametric 'mid' control and phase reversal switch to defeat feedback. I also tried plugging into the Aux input which gives a usable clean acoustic sound, but no reverb. I'm hoping that Fender adds these 'acoustic' necessities into a new stomp box (gain boost and equalizers).

Hi,
I use the Mustang GT-100 with my Epiphone EL-00 Pro and no problem at all. But a fishman is part of my Epiphone EL-00 Pro.
For me, it is not a problem of the Mustang GT but simply that your acoustic guitar doesn't have an integrated preamp; fishman or other brand. I think that if you plug this guitar in another amp, you will have the same problem. You can also have that problem with many acoustic amp; only those having a pre-preamp can handle "passive" acoustic guitars.

Yes, my Martin has a Fishman Aura VT Enhance system on board. A Piezo and a condenser mic. It still needs a boost from a preamp with the GT 100.
