First of all, what does it look like? There’s no doubt that this is a Fender amp. It looks to be a combination of a classic Fender Tweed amp and a Fender Silverface amp. To give you an idea: The Fender Mustang III comes after the lower-powered I and II, with a larger 100-W and single 12-inch speaker; it has managed to be still compact and portable. The LCD screen and large data wheel are a modern-day finish to the traditional Fender cabinet. This is very common with these smaller practice amps. The same criticism is often levied at the Line 6 Spider range. All the time and effort goes into cramming it full of features, but not bothering to make the speaker actually sound adequate. This is usually the reason why I tell people to save a little longer and buy a Boss Katana 50, which has a ton of features and houses a decent 12″ speaker. Overall we think that this amp is an excellent buy for a great many people, but here are our favorite bits: Sound Variations

Specification & Dimensions We would always recommend purchasing the Mustang III from a reputable source; this gives additional peace of mind regarding warranty – even for second-hand Mustang IIIs, which can be eligible for Pro Coverage insurance. How Does The Mustang III Perform? The bright fender tone you would expect to hear is present, until you start altering the settings and dialling in some of the amp models that is! The extensibility of this amp also makes it great for getting started with digital recording. In fact, one user review alluded to the fact that this is more of a 'guitar system' than an amplifier. Disadvantages Although it is a portable amp, it is a pretty heavy one to lug around. The array of features may counteract this, but it is worth noting that a 36lbs amp is around the weight of 33 kittens, so prepare for some sore shoulders if gigging is something you do regularly. Are There Any Alternatives? The ‘I’ in ‘Fender Mustang I’ means it is the smallest amp in the Mustang series (not counting the Mustang Mini). The I is a 20-watt combo amp with an 8-inch speaker. The Mustang II is a 40-watt amp with a 12-inch speaker. The line goes all the way up to V which is a 150watt head with 4×12 inch speaker cabinet. This review looks at the Mustang I but all the main features are similar across the Mustang series.

The amp doesn’t feel too heavy and feels quite well made. Being a small amp you’re less likely to cause serious damage if you drop it. My students who own this amp have never reported any issues with the amp or with the software. Overall impression In addition to the 17 amps, there are 44 available effects split into four categories. The categories are: Stompbox (typical pedal style effects such as overdrive, distortion, compressors and wahs), Modulation (such as chorus, flanger, tremolo, pitch shifter and filters), Delay (a few different types of delay such as ping-pong, tape, reverse, stereo) and Reverb (small hall, large hall, plate, ambient, spring). The Stompbox effects are only accessible through the Fender FUSE software so if you don’t connect your amp to your PC/Mac, you will only be able to adjust the other three categories of effects. This is a no-brainer. Boss is the daddy when it comes to pedal-based effects, and putting them all in a cheap combo was a master stroke.

Choosing the right electric guitar will depend on many factors, such as; budget, intention, and experience level.
