Fender Mustang GT-40 Modelling Practice Amp
Fender Mustang GT-40 Modelling Practice Amp
Back when I was learning guitar (Ed here), just about the best practice amp you could pick up was maybe the Line 6 Spider (insane mode!!!!). When Graham was starting out I assume it was maybe a gramophone or something...
Nowadays the quality and technology of practice amps has shot up vastly. Fender tout the Mustang GT40 as being the "world's first Wi-Fi equipped guitar amp", allowing you to download firmware updates and patches with the amp, and what a comprehensive little amp it is! Between the 21 amp models and 47 effects, you can build a huge number of great sounding patches to make a ginormous range of tones, both on the amp itself and with the Fender Tone App.
It sounds pretty terrific, with the stereo 6.5" speakers providing a hi-fi canvas onto so many combinations of amps and fx can be applied. The world of tone really is at your fingertips!
This comes with the footswitch, which not only acts as a controller for your patches, but also controls the amps looper, and gives you remote access to the tuner. All-in-all this is a pretty powerful little setup with a huge range of tones. The practicing or learning guitarist really has never had it better!!
