AUXILIARY AND HEADPHONE JACKS
The Mustang GTX control panel features two 1/8”-inch jacks—an auxiliary input for connecting external
mobile/audio devices and an output for convenient headphone use.
Note that when using the auxiliary input, volume levels for external devices are set using volume controls on
the external devices themselves, or by using the Mustang GTX “BT & AUX VOLUME” menu function described
on page 36. Also note that when headphones are plugged in, speaker output is muted.
USB CONNECTIVITY
The Mustang GTX rear panel features a USB audio port for recording. Using a micro USB cable (not included),
connect a computer with recording software to this port. No external driver is needed
to connect to an Apple computer. To connect to a Windows-based computer, the user
must download the ASIO driver setup with Fender Mustang device, available at www.
fender.com/support/articles/fender-universal-asio-drive. Note that USB audio and
Bluetooth audio streaming (
page 35
) can
not
be used simultaneously.
A gain control for the USB is located in the “EQ & AMP SETTINGS“ menu. Press the
MENU utility button, then use the ENCODER to scroll to and select “EQ & AMP SETTINGS“, and then “LINE OUT/
USB GAIN”. Use the ENCODER to scroll to and select a new USB gain value (
page 50
).
LINE OUT AND FX SEND/RETURN
Mustang GTX amplifiers feature rear-panel balanced line output jacks (right and left) for connection to exter-
nal recording and sound reinforcement equipment (
see illustration below
).
The gain control described above for the USB audio port can also be used for the line out, using the same steps.
Mustang GTX also features an effects loop. The right/left FX send and right/left FX return jacks on the far
right of the rear panel are for mono or stereo external effects use (
see illustration below
); a mono effect can be
plugged into the right or left channel. Note that effects connected to these jacks are “global” (not preset-spe-
cific) and will act as the
last
elements in the signal path.
