Fender Mustang GTX100 owners?

I’ll start with saying I love the amp. Taking a few days to really dive in and really tweak/build about 10 go to presets. This is really not a plug and go amp. But once you respect what the GTX is, it really opens up and will blow you away.

I like the footswitch for the most part. And with all the on board effects. I like the idea of being able to carry one pedal (that actually straps to the inside of the amp) verses a big board.

My question is about the long term quality of the footswitch. It’s a relatively inexpensive pedal for what it is/can do. And in my opinion it feels cheaper too. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Or maybe I’m just used to a higher level of pedals. How long have you had your GTX and its footswitch? Has it help up over the time.

Had the GTX for a few years, and the pedal is still working, but I can't say I play out, mostly home play

I love my GTX-100 and I can go on and on about some custom tones that are out there, but I realize you are asking about the footswitch. My UNDO is not working as it should, I can never get it on the first try, and at one point it worked for sure. It certainly has a flimsy feel to it, and I only used it for the looper feature. I do slap the crap out of it with my foot, I'm not gentle with it LOL. So yeah my heavy footedness may have contributed to the UNDO (far right button) to be inconsistent.

See I probably won’t use the looper. Mostly switch banks and operate effects.

I was considering getting better switches and replacing. Just kinda upgrading it. But then again it’s $100 retail. My real pedal board I’ve spent more than that on each pedal. So may just roll with it as is. And buy a new one as needed

I really wanted to love the GTX100, and did for a short time. I had two in a row that had LCD failures shortly after purchased new so I moved on. I have a BOSS Katana Artist and a Nextone Special now and I couldn’t be happier

See I had a regular katana MK1. And hated it. I was curious about the artist. Never looked into the Nextone. But honestly. I’d try to replace the screen on the GTX. I like it that much haha
