How long do you think fender keeps and supports it? They dropped Fender Fuse for an upgrade. Do you think they do it again? Have you heard they will?

Probably gonna buy a Mustang GTX amp today.

Time to cash in some Father’s Day and birthday gift cards.

Check out Amplitube as well. Pretty cool.


I'm a Fender Princeton Reverb / analog kinda guy, but the Amplitube is awesome for late night in home playing.

I have a Peavey 30 for my bedroom tube amp lol

A Mustang just keeps me from travelling down the pedal wormhole into oblivion.

How much do you need to make amplitube work? It’s $200 software. Do I need an entire digital interface and all of the stuff I’ve never run before to make it work? I am not where I can watch YouTube videos. Still at work.

This is all you need along with the program: LINK



FYI, Amplitube was only $99 at Memorial Day, so I'd bet they'll do the same for July 4th.

I think I’m just rolling the dice and going to take my gift cards and cash from my birthday and Father’s Day and buy a new or used GTX100. I’ll just hope they don’t dump the entire Tone platform in 2 years.

I like mine. I've added a dozen or so tones (acoustic, surf, one that sounds like a steel guitar when playing single chords) and created one that exactly replicates the tone on Crimson and Clover. I haven't checked for anything newly created in a while, but there's more options than you could ever need to replicate what you're looking for. (I was playing Sunshine Of Your Love on a great one last night).

The only option left I would consider after this would be a real tube amp and I'm not that committed to go there.

Peavey Classic 30.

Get a used one they are all over the place and sound great for about 300-500 depending on age and condition. I love mine. 30 watts of tube is absurd for where I use it. Bedroom practice amp. Don’t know if I’ve gone past 5.

Get a power attenuator like one these and this solves all your problems:

Carls power soak for 8 omhs up to 50 watts

Harley Benton Power Soak up to 100 Watts

Well. I got it and love it.

Much improved. Sounds better.

What the Spark tried to be except everything works. So many presets cut out with a Spark.
