Fender has combined dozens of effects into its new Fender Mustang Floor pedal, which it introduced and added to its range of products this week. The Mustang Floor has been designed to be a natural extension of the company’s Mustang amps range, and shares the same LCD display and surrounding button layout as the Fender Mustang III.
The new Fender Mustang is equipped with selection and control via nine stomp foot switches on the face and a solid aluminum expression pedal to their right. You can view the connections on the rear of the Fender Mustang after the jump.
Enhanced Control and Versatility
The Mustang Floor also enables users to plug in an additional expression pedal for added control, if required, and as you would expect, Fender suggests its new EXP-1 model. This additional pedal can be used to control various parameters such as volume, wah, or other effect parameters, providing musicians with a higher degree of flexibility and creative control during performances.
The Mustang is able to provide users with 37 onboard effects spread over four categories: stomp, modulation, delay, and reverb. These effects include classic overdrives, phasers, flangers, choruses, and a variety of delays and reverbs, allowing guitarists to craft a wide range of tones from subtle enhancements to dramatic soundscapes. The inclusion of these effects makes the Mustang Floor a versatile tool for both live performances and studio recordings.
Comprehensive Features for Musicians
Together with a built-in chromatic tuner, the Mustang Floor ensures that musicians can stay in tune with ease, eliminating the need for an external tuner. The tuner is easily accessible and can be activated with a footswitch, making it convenient for quick tuning adjustments during a performance.
The Mustang Floor also boasts 12 different amp emulations ranging from vintage to modern Fender models. These amp models include iconic sounds such as the Fender Twin Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, and Bassman, as well as more contemporary high-gain options. This wide selection of amp tones allows guitarists to replicate the sound of their favorite Fender amps or explore new sonic territories.
Additionally, the Mustang Floor ships with Ableton Live Lite 8 Fender Edition music creation software. This software provides musicians with a powerful platform for recording, editing, and producing music. Ableton Live Lite 8 is known for its intuitive interface and robust feature set, making it an excellent companion for the Mustang Floor pedal.
The Mustang Floor is now available in the US for around $400, making it an affordable option for guitarists seeking a comprehensive multi-effects pedal with high-quality amp modeling. Its combination of effects, amp emulations, and user-friendly design makes it a valuable addition to any guitarist’s setup.
