Anyone using a Fender Mustang LT50?

[Midgetje94]

I just got one yesterday. I like it so far. I play various country sounds to 70s blues influence style rock to modern rock.

I’m having fun playing with the Fender Tone system. But was wondering if any of y’all had found/made a preset you are really pleased with?

I’ve heard good things about the LT series but haven’t tried them myself. I almost jumped on a deal for a used LT25 AND a Squier guitar for $200! If only I didn’t have so many very expensive home repair projects going on…

I keep telling myself I don’t really NEED any more amps OR guitars.

I recently had to sell most my gear off. So slowly rebuilding. So I wanted a decent amp that covers a lot of ground and can be gigged with little mic help. This checked every box for the time being. Until I can get a nicer tube. Haha. But I’m really digging it so far. It’s a blast to hook up to the MacBook and really dig in

For those of you with a Mustang LT. Or maybe even others. I did find this guy. Not a fan of all of his. But definitely a good starting point. Then make them your own!

I have an LT25 and it is my main practice/headphone amp. I took the base presets and modified all of them to sound better. I find it very easy to make all the adjustments onboard the amp. The menus all make sense and are easy to follow. But if you hook it up to the computer it increases the number of presets you can load into it, and makes it easier to re-arrange the order. I seem to remember finding a way to download a whole bunch of new presets to play with. I think I hooked it up to the computer only 2 or 3 times ever. For tweaks it's easy to just use the amp. Really, I just use about 6 different Presets. The Princeton is the one I use the most.

I bought the LT25 about 18 months ago on an impulse buy to try out an entry level digital amp. Thing is pretty impressive.
I played around with it for a month and then wiped all presets clean and started over. The presets are good for a general idea...but you're going to be tweaking them anyway.
For organization, it's far easier to organize your settings when you can group them together. I use the Blackface Princeton a lot, so I'll save multiple settings for that amp sequentially. Reverb, no reverb, scooped mids, flat, etc. that way I'm not constantly playing with the controls.
Some of the amps sound similar to my ears..the Blackface Princeton for example has a similar tone to my PRRI...but most are aspirational labels more than copies. Still, I haven't run across one yet I couldn't get a good tone out of.

Man I’ve always been kind of a tube snob. With the exception of cheap bedroom type amps. As I said above I had to wipe most my gear. So I got this. Honestly. I may look at the Mustang GTX 100 (or whatever the model is) for a primary amp. This amp really does shoot a lot higher than I expected.

Glad you found an amp. Would like to have a connect to the guy with the L7.
Like I said I still have the Excelsior Pro. Maybe he's interested in doing some business.

I like mine, but I’m a relative newbie guitarist. I’m still getting to know the presets.

I found some downloads at Fender Tone for the LT50. They don’t allow you to share custom presets but there are some additional presets created by Fender. Connect to a laptop and explore them
