The Digital Authority: Why choose the Mustang GTX50?
The Mustang GTX50 represents the pinnacle of Fender modeling technology. Unlike traditional amps, it's not limited to a single sound: it houses an extensive library ranging from crystal-clear 60s cleans to the most aggressive high-gain distortions. Its newly designed, optimized cabinet enhances bass response, while its Celestion® speaker ensures faithful reproduction of every nuance.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do I need a computer to update the amplifier?
No! Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi, the Mustang GTX50 downloads and installs its own firmware updates and new amp models directly, without cables.
Is the Fender Tone app free?
Yes, it's available for free on iOS and Android. It allows you to edit your sounds with surgical precision from your phone, without having to bend down to the amplifier.
Can I use it to register on my Mac or PC?
Absolutely. The USB port allows the amp to act as an audio interface. You can send your sound directly to your favorite recording software (DAW) with studio-quality sound.
Is the pedal assembly included?
The GTX50 does not include a footswitch (unlike the GTX100). We recommend adding the GTX-7 footswitch to control presets and the built-in 60-second looper, available from Garage à Musique.
Is 50 watts of digital power enough for playing in a band?
Yes, the 50 watts combined with the 12-inch speaker provide sufficient projection for rehearsals and small clubs. For larger stages, you can use the stereo XLR outputs to connect directly to the PA system.
Can I plug in my own effects pedals?
Yes, either directly on the front panel, or by using the stereo effects loop on the back to preserve the clarity of your delays and reverbs, a professional solution offered by Garage à Musique.
