Getting Started; Selecting Presets - Fender Mustang III Quick Start Manual

Getting Started

To set up your Mustang™ amplifier:
1. Plug the supplied power cord into a grounded outlet.
2. Plug in the stereo 4x12" speaker cabinet (Mustang V only).
3. Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack.
4.
Press the POWER switch to turn the amplifier ON.
5.
Adjust the MASTER volume level.
 MASTER volume is the only knob you need to adjust at
first because the settings of all the other knobs are pre-
programmed into each PRESET.

Selecting Presets

Turn the DATA WHEEL to select one of 100 presets.
Preset contents are displayed
on screen for each preset
You will find some presets you like and others that you want
to change...
Each preset stores the settings for:
• Amplifier type — 17 selections
• Effects — 4 categories, 44 selections total
• Knob levels — GAIN through REVERB (not MASTER)

Volume & Tone
The MASTER volume knob is always "active." That means the
position of the MASTER volume knob always shows the true
master volume setting, unlike the programmable knobs.
(Always turn the MASTER volume knob first to adjust the
overall volume output of your Mustang amplifier.)
Programmable Knobs
Because the setting of every knob (except MASTER) is part
of each preset, the "programmable" knobs are inactive and
knob positions will NOT show their actual settings when each
preset is first selected.

PROGRAMMABLE knobs are inactive unless turned
How do I activate a programmable knob? The moment you
turn any programmable knob it instantly becomes active
and it will remain active until you select a different preset, at
which time all programmable knobs become inactive again.
