Master Volume
The MASTER volume knob is always "active." That means the
position of the MASTER knob always shows the true master
volume setting, unlike the
programmable
knobs.
(Always turn the MASTER volume knob first to adjust the
overall volume output of your Mustang amplifier.)
Programmable Knobs
Because the setting of every knob (except MASTER) is part of
each preset, the "programmable" knobs are
not active
and
the knob positions will NOT show their actual settings when a
preset is first selected.
How do I activate a programmable knob?
The moment you
turn any programmable knob it instantly becomes
active
and
it will remain active until you select a different preset, at which
time all the programmable knobs become inactive again.
Press the DATA WHEEL to see what the preset settings are for
all the programmable knobs
before
you turn them. Press EXIT
to return to Play mode.
Press the DATA WHEEL a second time to see where your
effects are located in the Guitar Signal Processing Path. Press
EXIT to return to Play mode.
♫
You can change the order of effects in the Signal Path
using Fender® FUSE™ software.
