I really don't think these are just things that are changes for ME, or i wouldn't mention them. I think they would be universally desirable. Not to a man i'm sure, but no doubt these would be desirable features to most because there are no downsides to them and to most people i have no doubt they would be welcome changes.

1-the ability to assign any effect in the chain to a given button. For example, say you have certain things you always want to be switchable like me. I have a OD up front, a EQ after the amp, and a chorus after. All of which i want to be switchable most of the time. But lets say i decide i want a reverb in front. Now the buttons are no longer in the same layout. What before was button 1-OD, 2-EQ (used for volume boost only) and 3-chorus, is now 1-reverb, 2-stomp, and 3-EQ. So i now have 2 things that i don't need to be switchable being switchable and 2 things i DO need switchable aren't. And theres no way to assign them differently so that my buttons are all the same in that patch. Thats just one example of many possible ones where this would make things u want switchblade to no longer be and visa versa. I cannot see how this would be a problem for anyone yet it would w/o a doubt be vital for many. So when assigning a given effect to a patch there could be a setting to assign it to button 1, 2 or 3. Any effect effect with that setting left unchanged front default would not be assigned to a on/off effects footswitch. The lack of this feature cripples my use of the effects mode which is the one mode i always use. But i can't see anything but upsides for all.

2-like you did with patches during startup where when u start the amp it goes to the past patch used. I see no reason why anyone would want the amp to startup and go to the same mode every time and i would imagine many would prefer it go to last MODE used. I will only be using effects mode for now on so i would like to not have to switch to effects mode every time i start. I think most people will have thier own preference as to which mode they use most or all of the time, so last mode used IMO would be good for pretty much everyone and bad for NO one.Why bad for no one? Because as it is now it defaults to i think QA mode, and if thats how someone wants it it still will because whatever you use will be the default start mode. So i cannot see anything but good for this feature.

I cannot imagine a single reason anyone would have a problem those 2 features, maybe some who may not care. But i cannot see a downside for anyone and i think most would benefit from a little to a lot. I appreciate whats been done so far, but these i feel are essential features with no reason NOT to be included. Thanks 4 listening.

Absolutely! Especially assigning FX to buttons on the footswitch, it's kind of crippled at the moment.

I would happily move from my Mustang Floor to a Mustang GT if there was an equal foot controller and computer software. I will even drop my demand for the editing software if I could get a foot controller.

But this 4 button thing, of which Fender isn't alone when it comes to modelling amps, is really kind of ridiculous.

I keep reading hoping someone else will raise this as an issue but I will put it out there.

Very very good call... I also also have been having this issue with my setup. I think the last update with the Eqs mainly for me changed the game on these amps, it got me to keep mine An to cancel the sale. It’s allowed this speaker to Be pushed like it hadn’t been up till now. Anyone’s whos been using this amp before will
Prob agree, who knew this speaker could rumble and actually reach those high volumes without losing tone i full believe its 100watts now but I think that assignment feature to the fx would be huge I currently alter
My Chain in a way I don’t want so that way the right fx boxes can have the buttons for on an off. The pedal has been a major let down with so many capabilities is the chain it’s so
Limiting to get three buttons imagine if we could have 5-6 switches all
Assinged however!! That’s a good call


I have another suggestion, it would
Be nice to not have to use an fx slot for the eqs I see when you choose an certain eq it makes it to where certain effects can’t be chosen and it takes up
Space in the chain in would
Be cool to have a sperate slot Mayeb a on screen “fx loop” spot you could run the eqs so you don’t have to take up a space one the chain or as previously mentioned assigning fx how we want to footswitch would also hell this otherwise great update on the last one it literally was a Hail Mary touchdown for me to keep the amp once the eqs were available I can just dial
In a More authentic sounding tone
With their help plus the speaker doesn’t seem to weak anymore it sounds like a need on it never rumbled the bass like it can now

Feedback to Fender :-- For live performance it is desirable that the AMP returns to exact status prior to power outage, in the case of stage power brown-outs.

Here's another suggestion....when in the menu where it has the options to move presets and a option to restore the amp's stock patches, move the freakin button that confirms to the bottom ! Other things in the menu use the top button to escape w/o any changes. This is the opposite and could cause you to lose ALL YOUR HARD WORK !!!!! Ask me how i know. I hit restore accidentally and when i hit what is USUALLY "back", it was instead a button to confirm. I lost all my presets and at least 2 were presets i loved and only was able to get where they were till now, 8 months after i bought the amp. So i'll never remember how i finally got those to sound the way i wanted, so those patches are unrecoverable history. I hit that button because in other menu items its the escape button, not the confirm one. Reverse them and give up a f___kin way to save presets to PC ! Seriously irritated yet again !
