I also had the Mustang I, but traded up for the III. It is funny that the amp alone doesn't sound as good as when connected to the Fuse software and the PC. It is an amazing amp with all the pedals and effects that you can try to create unique tones. I have mine set up with a JamMan looping pedal, and a Trio band simulator. It makes for an amazing amount of possibilities. I really enjoy playing with myself. (That just doesn't sound right, does it?) LOL

I know there are many transistor purists, but I can't imagine not having this amp and software to learn how to use and setup pedals and effects. And why have only one amp when you can have many high quality amps.

I have a friend that played in a band years ago. He had a Fender Twin Reverb. When hooked up to the PC on the beauty clean setting, I would swear it was the same amp.
