Unofficial Guide to Fender Mustang Effects 0.5 ridingthemustang.blogspot.
Overdrive
Description: the fender mustang overdrive stomp is on the Natural and Smooth side.
Position: Overdrive is usually set in front of the amp.
Controls: LEVEL: normally should be set to get the same output of the guitar without the stomp. Rise it up to give a
boost to the signal
GAIN: control how much overdrive effect, set to 0% and tweak the LEVEL control to use this stomp as a
booster
LOW-MID-HIGH: Fender choose to give a wide range of tone controls, if you are used to stomp with a
single tone control, just leave untouched the MID and act simmetrically on the other 2: if you set the high 3
oclock just set the low at 9 o clock, if you set the bass at 10 o clock just set the high at 2 o clock.
Suggested settings:
To get the classic Boss OD1 tone just set everything at 50% and HIGH at 100%
To get the classic Tube Screamer tone try LEVEL at 72% gain at 60%, LOW at 0%, MID at 49% and
HIGH at 100%
Fuzz
Description: Fuzz is a (vintage) distortion type.The Fuzz trasform the guitar input nearly into a square
wave and adds complex overtones with a frequency multiplier. Not many modeler offer a fuzz stomp. Usethis for some Hendrix and Rolling stones preset.
Controls:
LEVEL: normally should be set to get the same output of the guitar without the stomp. Rise it up to give a
boost to the signal
GAIN: control how much overdrive effect, set to 0% and tweak the LEVEL control to use this stomp as a
booster
OCTAVE: control the level of the octave doubled voice. It adds body and spite to the tone.
LOW-HIGH: standard range of tone controls
Simple Comp
Description: a compressor reduces the dynamic range of sound. In fact it raise the volume of the guitar
when it's too low and soften it when it is too loud.It gives more sustain and change the attack, making it
harder.

Comp
Description: a compressor reduces the dynamic range of sound. In fact it raise the volume of the guitar
when it's too low and soften it when it is too loud.It gives more sustain and change the attack, making it
harder.
THRESHOLD:
The higher you set this, the louder you need to pick for the compression to kick in. The THRESHOLD knob
sets the level where compression will begin. As long as the input signal level is below the Threshold level,
the Compressor will do nothing to the signal. Once the input signal crosses the Threshold, the Compresso
will begin compressing at a ratio set by the RATIO control.
RATIO:
The higher this knob is set, the more the signal gets squeezed. The RATIO knob controls the amount of
compression which will happen once the input signal crosses the THRESHOLD level. Ratio controls how
much the input signal will be reduced as a ratio of the input signal level.
ATTACK:
Determines how soon the compressor kicks in, or much of your initial pick attack gets through before the
compressor clamps down. The ATTACK knob controls the amount of time before compression starts. Lonattacks are useful for percussive sounds, where shorter attacks are good for melodic parts like vocals and
strings.
RELEASE:
The RELEASE knob controls the amount of time the compressor takes to stop compressing after the signa
crosses back under the THRESHOLD. Short release times are good for percussive, punchy sounds, wher
longer release times can get you more sustain on guitar.
Touch Wah
Description: the alters the tone of the guitar by sweeping up and down a filter and producing a sound
similar to an human voice. The touch wah controls the rise and fall of the filter with the dynamics of your
picking. Usually picking hard will make a treble sound, picking soft will make a bassy sound.
Controls:
MIX: mix the raw sound and the filtered one. 0% is raw sound only, 100% is filtered sound only. Usaully se
it to 100%
SENS: control the reaction of the filter to your picking. 0% If you pick really hard (less sensitivity), 100% ifyou pick really gentle (more sensivity). This should be accurately fine tuned since it makes all the
difference. I am an hard picker and i found that 22% is my sweet spot. If you dont get that wah effect here
is where you should work. A good method is to try all the 20% steps (0%,20%,40%,60%,80%,100%) whil
picking serveral times a group of notes, the first hit hard and the other a lot softer and with less volume.
Find the spot where the wah effect is maximized.
HEEL FREQ and TOE FREQ: sets the lowest and the higest peak of the filter (how much your vitual foot
will go "up" or "down" ;) ). Usually set HEEL to 0% and TOE to 100%, but you can roll back a bit of TOE if
you want a browner wah. Inverted setting (HEEL=100% and TOE=0%) will let you play a bassy sound
when you pick hard and a treble sound when you pick soft.

HIGH Q: control the character of the wah by sizing the wideness of the freqencies filtered.
Suggested setting:
set precisely your SENS (read above!)
set the TOE to 70% circa
Fuzz Touch Wah
Description: a touch Wah combined with a Fuzz. Fuzz is a (vintage) distortion type.The Fuzz trasform the
guitar input nearly into a square wave and adds complex overtones with a frequency multiplier. I think this
is a very good combination if you want a distortion pedal combined with wah.
Controls:
LEVEL: normally should be set to get the same output of the guitar without the stomp. Rise it up to give a
boost to the signal
GAIN: control how much overdrive effect, set to 0% and tweak the LEVEL control to use this stomp as abooster
SNSTVTY: control the reaction of the filter to your picking. 0% If you pick really hard (less sensitivity),
100% if you pick really gentle (more sensivity). This should be accurately fine tuned since it makes all the
difference. I am an hard picker and i found that 22% is my sweet spot. If you dont get that wah effect here
is where you should work. A good method is to try all the 20% steps (0%,20%,40%,60%,80%,100%) whil
picking serveral times a group of notes, the first hit hard and the other a lot softer and with less volume.
Find the spot where the wah effect is maximized.
OCTAVE: control the level of the octave doubled voice. It adds body and spite to the tone.
PEAK: adjust the peak level of the wah effect

-minimum = Rate 0.15 Hz
-maximum = Rate 10 Hz
Other adjustments:
-overall the MXR is probably a bit less trebly than the mustang equivalent, so you might want to roll back
your guitar tone slightly, but just a pinch
-the original MXR 90 varies depth together with speed (but inverselly) when turning the speed knob. The
depth indicated above was for a 2Hz rate, so when decreasing the rate, increase slightly the depth and
viceversa.
Delay
Reverb types on the mustang:
Mono Delay
Mono Echo Filter
Stereo Echo Filter
Multitap Delay
Ping Pong Delay
Ducking DelayReverse Delay
Tape Delay
Stereo Tape Delay
ECHO: vintage sound repetitions with fading volume
TAPE: simulate the sound of a Tape Delay, more vintage tone.
MULTITAP: spreads the repetitions with multiple timing patterns (see MODE control)
PING PONG: a stereo delay that plays repetition alternatively in the right or in the left channel
DUCKING: the volume of the repetitions is raised when the source mute, the effect is the repetition of the
tail of the sound/phrase/lick.REVERSE: the repetitions are played reversed
Tips: if need to concatenate 2 delay stomp you can use the Pitch shifter as a second simple unit. Just set
"home" (50%) both PITCH and DETUNE controls.
Controls:
LEVEL: control the volume of the effect, where 100% is the repetition has the same volume of the original
and 0% totally suppress the effect. A typical setting is around 30% for an ambience delay or 100% to crate
a rythm with the delay.DLY TIME: the lag between the the original sound and the repetition
FDBACK: the number of repetitions, 0% is only 1 repetition
FREQ: adjust the resonance frequency
RESNNCE: adjust/raise/boost the resonance
INLVL: Input level, used to rule the amount of signal that feed the stomp
FLUTTER:
BRIGHT:Adjusts the amount of high frequencies that are removed each time the delay is repeated. 0% to
make each subsequent repeat darker and 100% to allow the high frequencies to repeat. Use this control to
simulate the high-frequency absorption of acoustically dull rooms or analog echo units. Note that because
this control removes highs from the signal, that it may also affect the number of delayed repeats.

STEREO:
Reverb
Description: this effect is used to add space and depth to a sound. This effect emulate the way a sound
interact with a room or a space
Position: Reverb are usually set in the FX loop, in the last position, but you can get good result putting it in
the front of the amp in the clean presets.
Reverb types on the mustang:
Small Hall
Large Hall
Small Room
Large Room
Small PlateLarge Plate
Ambient
Arena
63 Fender Spring
65 Fender Spring
Plate reverbs use a metal plate to process the sound.
Spring reverbs use a valve and a spring to create a warm and rich vintage reverb.
Controls: LEVEL: contol the volume of the reverb, 0% is no reverb
DECAY: control the duration (time) of the reverb, smaller room have shorter decay, so expect this
parameter to act differently in Small and Large reverb type
DWELL: control the character and the volume of the reverb, 0% is no reverb, 100% is a very warm and
full reverb with the spring flavor to the max
DIFFUSION: control the density of the reflection, 0% is more distinct and defined with few reflection,
100% is richer and warmer with a lot of reflections
TONE: control the tone of the reverb, 0% is warmer and 100% is brighter
Advanced amp settings
SAG: control the way the "valves" will sort-like-compress to signal
BIAS: simulates how your virtual valves are feeded, low setting gives your actual amp a clearer e colder
tone, good for spark clean tones, high settings gives you a richer and hotter tone, good for
overdrive/distortion. Example: mesa boogie amp have a very high bias and need high quality valves to fac
the heat stress
