    Fender Mustang I V2 20-Watt 1x8-Inch Combo Electric Guitar Amplifier

    • It has by far the most inspiring tones I have ever played through

    • Fantastic tone, a ton of features, plenty loud
    • But I am able to get wonderful clean tones on all the modeled amps using Fender Fuse, plus there are all the modifications you can make yourself
    • Given many beginners will be buying this amp on features for the price, it would be great if there was a clearly marked "clean" tone setting to use as a baseline sound.

    • ("You're not getting the right tone, man
    • It delivers great tones without having to plug in a bunch of effects and deal with the cable mess that comes with them, and the secondary jack makes it easy to plug in your phone or audio device to play along with practice tracks or any other songs you want to learn

    • It actually has a fantastic tone at a perfect personal practice volume level
    • Great tones can be downloaded on FUSE that are much better than the stock tones that come with the amp

    • This amp packs a punch...an clean KO if you are one who likes solid state amps and searching for that perfect tone.
    • If you don't like hooking solid state amps up to a PC in order to dial in the right tone, this may not be your bag
    • Ok for clean tones
