Last night I was playing around with the GT 40 and noticed a ticking sound, synchronized with the tap tempo light. Turned off all effects, and I could still hear it. The main thing I'd changed in the last month was adding the MGT-4 controller, so I unplugged that at the controller end. Still ticking... Then I tried unplugging the controller at the amp end. That stopped it! More experimentation showed that where I put the controller cable made a difference. Also, the ticking disappeared in looper mode (and any other time that the controller's LED tempo light was NOT flashing).

I was able to arrange the cable in a way that the ticking was inaudible at normal volumes (normal for me, in my study, where I rarely turn the master volume up to much less beyond nine o'clock). At gigs, this might be more of an issue.

Temporary workaround: switch the pedal to a mode where the tempo light isn't flashing. (Effects mode, until you change the tap tempo; or looper mode.)

Better workaround, but requires action from Fender: you can already disable the looper function in Mustang GT settings. Add an option to disable the pedal's tempo display.
