INTRODUCTION This expanded owner’s manual is a thorough user’s guide of the features and functions of the Mustang GT40, GT100 and GT200 amplifiers. As a complement to the Mustang GT Quick Start Guide that comes with each amplifier, this manual presents a deeper, more detailed look at Mustang GT’s many versatile capabilities. This includes navigation and modification of the many onboard presets, and comprehensive descriptions of the amplifier and effect models.
CONTROL PANEL The Mustang GT top control panel consists of an instrument input, control knobs (seven on the Mustang GT100 and GT200; five on the Mustang GT40), a display window, three LAYER pushbuttons, an ENCODER wheel, four UTILITY pushbuttons, an auxiliary input (1/8”) and a headphone output (1/8”). AUX INPUT GAIN VOLUME TREBLE MIDDLE BASS REVERB MASTER Seven-knob Mustang GT100/GT200 control panel seen here; Mustang GT40 has five control knobs (gain, volume, treble, bass, master volume). A.
MENU: For accessing WiFi, Bluetooth, Tuner, Global EQ, cloud presets and other functions (see page 28). TAP: For setting delay times and modulation rate settings; hold to access built-in tuner. M. AUXILIARY INPUT, HEADPHONE OUTPUT: 1/8” auxiliary input for connecting external audio devices, and 1/8” output for headphone use. Headphone output disables internal speaker(s). It’s important to note that all top control panel knobs except Master Volume (H) are, as described above, “programmable.
PRESET BASICS Mustang GT comes with more than 100 sequentially numbered presets, and users can create and add even more. Each preset has three “layers” that appear in the DISPLAY WINDOW. These are the PRESET LAYER (top), SIGNAL PATH LAYER (middle) and CONTROLS LAYER (bottom); the three LAYER BUTTONS provide access to each layer (see illustration below).
The CONTROLS LAYER of each preset displays information on whatever amp or effect is highlighted in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER. Amp control knob settings are displayed by default (see illustration below); effects control settings are displayed when an effect is highlighted in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER. Amp and effects controls are selected by turning the ENCODER.
If an edited setting is not saved, the preset will revert to its previous settings when returning to the preset after leaving it, or when turning the amplifier off and back on again. To save a preset edit, press the illuminated SAVE utility button to get three options (see illustration below): SAVE (keep preset as edited), RENAME (save preset with a new name in its current position) and SAVE AS NEW (save preset in a new position with a new name).
Once in the CONTROLS LAYER, turn and press the ENCODER to scroll through and select a specific digital amp control knob. Then turn the ENCODER again to change that control’s setting. When a control setting is changed, the box containing the preset number changes from blue to red (indicating that a preset edit has been made), and the SAVE utility button illuminates.
REPLACING PRESET AMPLIFIER MODELS To replace an amplifier model within a preset, access the SIGNAL PATH LAYER by pressing its LAYER BUTTON. The preset amp model will be highlighted. Press the ENCODER to access and scroll through a menu of amp models; select a new amp model by pressing the ENCODER again.
LIST OF AMPLIFIER MODELS This table lists all the preset amp models in Mustang GT, with a brief description of each. Mustang GT amp models will be continually revised and updated; this manual indicates current amp models in use. Champ, Deluxe, Bassman, Princeton, Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb are trademarks of FMIC.
EDITING EFFECTS In addition to amp models, each preset also features various combinations of effects. Effects can be edited in several ways—they can be bypassed, replaced, moved, added or deleted. Further, the individual settings of each effect can be modified. Each option is explained below and on the following pages. Editing the types of effects in use and their position in the signal path happens in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER.
BYPASSING AN EFFECT There are two ways to bypass effects. The first is a general on-off feature that simply turns off all effects in all presets with a single press of a button. The second lets users bypass specific individual effects within a preset. To turn off all Mustang GT effects in every preset (and turn them back on), press the X FX utility button. There is no option to save; this is merely a quick way to turn all effects off and back on.
REPLACING AN EFFECT To replace an effect, highlight the effect to be replaced in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER and press the ENCODER. Select “REPLACE” from the menu of effects placement options and press the ENCODER again. Select one the four effects categories that will appear—Stomp Box, Modulation, Delay or Reverb—and press the ENCODER to access the effects in that category. Scroll through the effects and press the ENCODER to select one as a replacement.

USING THE TAP TEMPO BUTTON In presets that include Modulation effects, Delay effects or both*, the TAP utility button flashes in time with the default rate of the first delay effect in the signal path (or first modulation effect if no delay effect is present). This rate can be left as is, or it can be modified using the TAP utility button. To set a new TAP tempo, tap the flashing TAP utility button at the desired tempo at least two times (see illustration below).
LIST OF EFFECTS TYPES Mustang GT onboard effects are organized into four category menus: Stompbox effects (12), Modulation effects (13), Delay effects (9) and Reverb effects (12). Names and descriptions of each appear below, by category. Mustang GT effects will be continually revised and updated; this manual indicates current effect types in use.

MENU FUNCTIONS Just to the right of the ENCODER is a vertical column of four utility buttons. The third one down is the MENU utility button, which enables access to a variety of Mustang GT special functions (see illustration below). These functions are referenced elsewhere in this manual; all are listed and briefly described here.
SETLISTS For individual convenience, presets can be grouped together in “Setlists.” These are user-created groups containing any arrangement of presets ideal for a particular situation—a gig or rehearsal, a favorites list, genre, artist list, etc. Simple to create and edit, Setlists personalize and streamline the Mustang GT experience so that users can access multiple presets quickly and easily.
The selected preset is now added to SETLIST 1; repeat the previous two steps to add additional presets to SETLIST 1. Once multiple presets have been added to SETLIST 1, use the ENCODER to scroll through and activate different presets within the selected Setlist: 1 - PRESET 25 - PRESET 50 - PRESET MENU 33 - PRESET 88 - PRESET When finished creating and using a Setlist, return to main preset mode by pressing the top LAYER BUTTON.
“DELETE” will then appear in a blue box; press the ENCODER on it to delete that preset. Alternately, press the PRESET LAYER button corresponding to “back” in the DISPLAY WINDOW to not delete the preset from the Setlist: back DELETE MENU To create subsequent additional Setlists, repeat the steps on pages 26 and 27. These will automatically be labeled “SETLIST 2,” “SETLIST 3” and so on in numerical order.

To enable Bluetooth, press the MENU utility button and use the ENCODER to scroll to “BLUETOOTH,” then press the ENCODER to access Bluetooth settings. The default Bluetooth setting is “off,” indicated by a red box labeled “BLUETOOTH OFF.
BUILT-IN TUNER To access Mustang GT’s built-in chromatic tuner, press and hold TAP utility button for two seconds, or press the MENU utility button and select TUNER by turning and pressing the ENCODER. When a note is sharp or flat, its letter name will appear in a yellow circle either to the left (flat) or right (sharp) of the vertical center line, along with a precise numerical pitch value (in cents) that appears at the bottom of the DISPLAY WINDOW.
AUXILIARY AND HEADPHONE JACKS The Mustang GT control panel features two 1/8”-inch jacks—an auxiliary input for connecting external mobile/audio devices and an output for convenient headphone use. Note that when using the auxiliary input, volume levels for external devices are set using volume controls on the external devices themselves (the amp’s volume controls are for overall volume level only and do not affect individual volume of external devices connected to the auxiliary input jack).
FOOTSWITCH USE Two foot-control devices can be used with Mustang GT amplifiers—the MGT-4 Footswitch and the EXP-1 Expression Pedal. The four-button MGT-4 Footswitch comes with Mustang GT200 and is optional for Mustang GT40 and GT100. It enables convenient remote foot control of several functions, including the built-in tuner, amp preset selection, Quick Access preset selection, effects bypass, 60-second looper and more.
MGT-4 FOOTSWITCH: MODES The MGT-4 Footswitch offers four special Mustang GT modes—QUICK ACCESS (“QA”), PRESETS, EFFECTS and LOOPER. To choose one, cycle through them by stepping on the MODE button (A) at the far left of the footswitch repeatedly until the desired mode is reached, as indicated by its illuminated MODE LED (D). QUICK ACCESS MODE QUICK ACCESS mode(“QA”) enables the user to select three presets and assign them to each of the three FUNCTION buttons.

A “bank” of three presets containing whichever preset is already set on the amp is assigned to FUNCTION buttons 1, 2 and 3 (yellow arrows), each with its own red FUNCTION LED to indicate use.
LOOPER MODE LOOPER mode enables the user to record loops up to 60 seconds long and overdub subsequent parts. Any number of overdubbed parts can be layered over the original recorded part; however, only the last overdub created can be undone. To record a loop, step on the MODE button (green arrow in illustration below) until “LOOPER” mode is activated, as indicated by the illuminated amber MODE LED (see illustration below). ASSY.
Alternately, when finished playing the first musical passage, step on FUNCTION button 1 (yellow arrow in illustration below) again to go straight into overdub mode; the red FUNCTION LED above FUNCTION button 1 will continue flashing and the DISPLAY WINDOW will show “DUB,” indicating that the LOOPER is now in overdub mode and a second musical passage can be recorded over the first.
MGT-4 FOOTSWITCH: TUNER The MGT-4 Footswitch can also be used for hands-free tuning. To do this, step on and briefly hold FUNCTION button 3 (labeled “HOLD TUNER” for this purpose; yellow arrow) to activate the chromatic tuner. The note closest to the sought-after pitch appears in the DISPLAY WINDOW; two red FUNCTION LEDs along upper left illuminate to indicate degrees of flatness, while two red FUNCTION LEDs along upper right illuminate to indicate degrees of sharpness.
EXP-1 EXPRESSION PEDAL The EXP-1 Expression Pedal is a dual-mode foot controller that enables the user to control master volume (“Volume” mode) and various amp and effect parameters (“Expression” mode). Switch between Volume and Expression modes by stepping on the toe switch (at the top of the pedal). Red and green LEDs indicate the mode in use. Volume mode—indicated by the green LED—controls master volume or can be turned off.
Once an amp or effect is highlighted in the SIGNAL PATH LAYER, the CONTROLS LAYER below it will show several configurable EXP-1 items for that particular preset. Press the CONTROLS LAYER button to enter the CONTROLS LAYER (see illustration below).
Several other EXP-1 modes reside in the CONTROLS LAYER. Use the ENCODER to scroll among and select these modes and the options within them. These modes are: VOLUME MODE (“VOL”): Turns off the EXP-1 Volume mode (green LED) pedal function (see illustrations below). EXPRESSION MODE (“EXP”): Allows three different assignments. “OFF” turns off the EXP-1 Expression mode pedal function (red LED). “VOLUME” configures EXP-1 to control master volume (similar to VOLUME MODE above).
GLOBAL SETTINGS As noted, GLOBAL SETTINGS is used to assign the EXP-1 to all presets. After pressing the MENU utility button and scrolling to and selecting “EXP-1 SETUP,” press the ENCODER again and scroll to “GLOBAL SETTINGS” (see illustration below). back GLOBAL SETTINGS PRESET SETTINGS MENU Press the ENCODER on “GLOBAL SETTINGS.” Three parameters can be modified in the menu shown—”MODE SOURCE,” “HEEL VOLUME” and “TOE VOLUME.” “MODE SOURCE” is used to choose between “PRESET” and “PEDAL” settings.
AMP SETTINGS “Amp Settings” is a MENU utility button function (see page 25) that enables quick and easy restoration of factory presets and amplifier settings. To do this, press the MENU utility button, then use the ENCODER to scroll to and select “AMP SETTINGS.” Scroll to and select any of the three options presented—”RESTORE PRESETS” for factory presets, “RESTORE SETTINGS” for amp settings, or “RESTORE ALL” to do both (see illustrations below).
GLOBAL EQ “Global EQ” is a MENU utility button function (see page 25) that provides access to different equalization curves for easier adjustment of overall amp response to different acoustic environments. This is particularly helpful when users have all their favorite presets and settings dialed in, but then find themselves in, for example, brighter- or boomier-sounding rooms, halls, outdoor areas, etc.
CLOUD PRESETS “Cloud Presets” is a MENU utility button function (see page 25) that gives the user access to an entire world of presets other than those already found in the amp, including featured presets, artist presets and more. Through the amplifier’s WiFi connectivity, users can preview, play, download and share a wealth of cloudstored Fender presets that enormously expand Mustang GT’s creative possibilities.
To view or edit the individual contents of the highlighted cloud preset before saving it to the amp as described above, press the ENCODER on it (see illustration below). SCO’S FIELD MEANER STREETS SAVE BRITISH STEEL MENU BRITISH FENDER INVASION PRESETS BASIC TREMOLO When viewing or editing the contents of a cloud preset before saving it to the amp, the DISPLAY WINDOW will show the contents of the preset along with a green “cloud” symbol (in place of the number that accompanies the onboard presets).
FIRMWARE UPDATES AND FACTORY RESTORE As noted in the introduction, Mustang GT users should check regularly for firmware updates that improve and enhance the Mustang GT experience. To perform a Mustang GT firmware update, put the amp in WiFi update mode by pressing and holding the ENCODER for five seconds (yellow arrow in illustration below) while turning the amplifier on.
When performing a firmware update, the user might encounter three scenarios in which a firmware update cannot be initiated. In such cases, the DISPLAY WINDOW will indicate that Mustang GT’s WiFi connectivity is not configured, no update is available, or the amplifier update server is unreachable (see illustrations below).
FENDER TONE™ APP Fender Tone—the ultimate companion app for Mustang GT amplifiers—is available as a free download from the Apple App Store (iPhone) and Google Play Store (Android). Fender Tone users can have convenient control over existing Mustang GT functions, plus access to additional content from Fender and the Fender Tone user community.
