Hi all,
Just wanted to say the latest firmware update is fantastic! There are loads of new effects in there, including graphic equalisers that many have been after. Also, every single scrolling parameter has been fixed and the British 60s bright switch too.
I've got to say it seems that Fender really do pay close attention to what people say here and have definitely worked hard to put everything right. I don't have a foot switch or use the apps so can't comment on those, but as far as I can see the amp itself is now moving beyond fixes and will get better and better. I really hope that some of the people who bashed the Mustang GT on YouTube revisit it now!
Thanks,
PB :D

Like having worked out-of-town for a few months,
and when you get back, you find your sweetheart
spent a couple hundred hours in the local gym :D

Most of my wishes have come true. Now, all I need is the acoustic guitar amp sim ;?)

Glad to see the ability to EQ. Still waiting for ability to save & reload presets to/from external computer.

No worries :D
Cheers Brad, your involvement is very much appreciated. I was trying to work out how much the different amps and effects within the GT would come to if you bought them all separately, but I gave up. It's mind boggling! That last firmware update alone would be worth well over £1,000

That would be a great addition. In the meantime, Revalver's free version ampsim
has an accoustic sim as one of their modules, pretty sure it's under $15, reminding myself
to grab it this weekend. And IK's paid version of Amplitube 4 includes a
a pretty fine accoustic sim as part of the install, and A4 is on sale for awhile
at $75, part of the 15th year of Amplitube sale-abration.

Probably some folks here got an 'Amplitube Fender LE' version bundled with
a V1 Mustang purchase, and the included models sound great
being fed by the GT40. The free Amplitube Custom Shop version
has a 'restore my gear' option, that places the LE gear in the
new environment. That Metal 500 model is scary good.

@ Brad: maybe you can share some of the Fender/IK collaboration anecdotes,
IK have released two fine Fender approved bundles, I'm sure there
is some interesting history there, from the front office, to the loading dock...
hopefully more such collaborations will rise above the radar soon.
Cheers

I think i have cracked the 'acoustic sim' and have posted my findings in the 'Post Your Favorite Tones' thread. The stock speaker doesn't have the high frequency response for total transparency but it is pretty close.
