FOOTSWITCH USE
Three foot-control devices can be used with Mustang GTX ampli
fi
ers—the
GTX-7
and
MGT-4
footswitches
and the
EXP-1 Expression Pedal
.
The seven-button GTX-7 Footswitch comes with Mustang GTX100 and is optional for Mustang GTX50. It en-
ables convenient remote foot control of several functions, including the built-in tuner, amp preset selection,
e
ff
ects bypass, 60-second looper and more. The EXP-1 Expression Pedal, optional for both Mustang GTX amps,
is a dual-mode digital pedal that controls Mustang GTX volume and amp/e
ff
ect parameters.
The four-button MGT-4 Footswitch is optional for both Mustang GTX amp models. Note that instructions for
using the MGT-4 Footswitch can be found online in the
Mustang GT Guitar Ampli
fi
er Expanded Owner’s Manual
Rev. A
(PN 7712493000), and in the
Mustang GT Guitar Ampli
fi
er Addendum to Expanded Owner’s Manual Firm-
ware V2.0
(PN 7715279000).
Connect the GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack on the amp’s rear panel. The ampli
fi
er auto-
matically defaults to the connected footswitch while the amp is fully booted. The GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch
can be combined with the EXP-1 Expression Pedal by “chaining” the two pedals together.
The GTX-7 Footswitch has seven buttons—a BANK UP button at upper left, a MODE/TUNER button at upper
right, and
fi
ve numbered FUNCTION buttons along the bottom. Three MODE LEDs are at upper right, and
fi
ve
FUNCTION LEDs are arrayed with one above each FUNCTION button. The DISPLAY WINDOW is at top center.

fi
ve presets.

chromatic TUNER mode.
E. FUNCTION BUTTONS/LEDS:

tions, depending on footswitch mode in use. Red LEDs above each FUNCTION BUTTON indicate various
