MUSTANG

 III/IV/V (V.2)

  For example, if you only want the middle third of the 

pedal range to register with the amplifier, only move 

the EXP-1 pedal back and forth through the middle 

third of its range of motion. You must start the calibra-

tion process with the EXP-1 pedal positioned some-

where within the desired range.

5.

  Turn the DATA WHEEL to select a new preset. 

6.

  The EXP-1 expression pedal has been calibrated! 

  Repeat the calibration procedure each time you 

change EXP-1 pedals, plug the EXP-1 into a different 

amplifier, or perform a Factory Restore proceedure 

(see page 13) on the amplifier.

EXP-1 Pedal Settings

The EXP-1 pedals settings can be saved with the current pre-

set so that each time you select a particular preset, the EXP-1 

functions are customized for that preset. Before you change 

the EXP-1 settings, select the preset that you want to save 

the EXP-1 settings with.

To configure EXP-1 settings:

1.

  Plug the EXP-1 pedal into the 4 BUTTON FOOTSWITCH 

jack on the back of your Mustang amplifier using the 

included cable.

2.

 Select the preset with which you want to use the EXP-1.

3.

 Press and hold the DATA WHEEL until the Expression 

Mode Enable menu appears.

4.

 Rotate the DATA WHEEL to change the settings in the 

current menu. Press the DATA WHEEL to select the next 

menu from the list below.

 SHORTCUT: You can speed select menus in either direc-

tion by rotating the DATA WHEEL while holding it down. 

5.

  Save the current preset if you want to keep the modified 

EXP-1 settings, otherwise, press EXIT, then select a differ-

ent preset using the DATA WHEEL to erase your changes.

EXP-1 Menus:

• Expression Mode Enable — 

(Off, Amp, Stomp, Mod, 

Delay, Reverb, Volume) Select the category that you want to 

control with the EXP-1 in Expression mode, or select "Off" if 

you want the pedal to be OFF in Expression mode.

  You must have an effect selected for the current preset 

on the amplifier (or in Fender FUSE) to make that cat-

egory of effect become available for selection in this 

menu. 

• Expression Mode Parameter — 

(

Variable

) Select the 

parameter that you want to control with the EXP-1 in 

Expression mode. Your options will vary depending on the 

category you selected in the Expression Mode Enable menu 

above, and the effect module that is selected in the current 

preset. 

• Expression Mode Heel/Toe — 

(

Variable

) Use these two 

menus to set the level of the active parameter (selected 

in the menu above) with the heel of the pedal in the fully 

down position (Heel Setting) and with the toe of the pedal 

in the fully down position (Toe Setting). Range options will 

vary depending on your selection in the Expression Mode 

Parameter menu above.

• Expression Mode Type — 

(Capture, Live) If "Live" is 

selected, the current pedal position will override the stored 

preset setting for the assigned expression pedal parameter 

when a preset is first selected. If "Capture" is selected, the 

pedal is disabled until you move the pedal after a preset is 

first selected. 

• Expression Effect Bypass — 

(On/Off) Select "On" 

to bypass (turn off) the effect currently selected in the 

Expression Mode Enable menu when switching the EXP-1 to 

Volume mode. Select "Off" to leave the effect active (keep 

on). 

• Expression Parameter Restore — 

(On/Off) Select "On" 

to return the Expression Mode Parameter to the stored pre-

set value when switching the EXP-1 to Volume mode. Select 

"Off" if you want the parameter to be left set to the position 

of the pedal (toe position) when switching to Volume mode.

• Volume Mode Behavior — 

(Volume/Off) Select "Volume" 

if you want the pedal to control the master volume in 

Volume mode. Select "Off" if you want the pedal to be OFF 

when switched to Volume mode.

• Volume Mode Heel/Toe — 

(0–100%) Use these two 

menus to set the master volume level with the heel of the 

pedal in the fully down position (Heel Volume) and with the 

toe of the pedal in the fully down position (Toe Volume).

• Pedal Initial Source — 

(From Preset/From Pedal) Select 

"From Preset" if you want the EXP-1 mode to switch to the 

Preset Default mode (see note below) each time you select a 

preset. Select "From Pedal" if you want the EXP-1 to remain 

in whichever mode the EXP-1 is currently in as you change 

presets. The Pedal Initial Source setting is a global setting. 

It is not associated with any preset and does not need to be 

saved; it stays set to the current selection.

  Preset Default mode is the mode (volume or expression) 

that the EXP-1 is in when you save the preset. You can 

change the Preset Default mode by re-saving the preset 

with the EXP-1 in a different mode, or using Fender 

FUSE software.
