I wonder if anybody has tried out the newly available (I think) Fender Mustang LT l and specifically its Fender Tone 3.0 software however? I realize that a forcefulness of the new line is the power to use bluetooth and your smart telephone to adjust settings, download presets, etc. But every bit I said for some reason I tin’t get bluetooth to work with my older Android 8.1.0 version TCL phone. I don’t have dwelling wireless only I understand I don’t need that to use bluetooth.
Anyhow, I was drawn to the LT 50 because the Tone 3.0 allows desktop utilize and I was looking for the next generation, as it were, to the at present discontinued and non-supported Fuse software. However I downloaded the Tone 3.0 software for a “test run” … although I don’t ain an LT 50 … and was really surprised by what I found. Yes information technology looks nice and allows y’all to fine tune the presets and I guess download others … but it doesn’t offering anywhere near the detailed settings of the Fuse software.
In fact, I think the Roland software allows a more than detailed version.
Here is the link I used if anybody wants to endeavour it:
https://tone-support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031211592
I recollect the new software is quick, intuitive and piece of cake to use … as opposed to the complexities of the Fuse software … but I was expecting something more “geek friendly” if you know what I hateful.
As for my using bluetooth, I have spent hours trying to solve the trouble and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. This is my first attempt ever at using bluetooth. My figurer recognizes my telephone but says information technology is non connected and I have the bluetooth role on and I downloaded an amp that says my phone is good to go.
I’ve had numerous issues with both amps connecting to Wi-Fi on their own, I almost always had to practise it through the app until the last couple of updates.
Bluetooth has been better, simply not much. Once an update is done, and everything is working… It’southward fine until the next update. I have yet to have had whatever of them go without a hitch. I noticed my cheapo android tablet connects better/more reliably via Bluetooth than my iPhone… The problem with that is the tablet is unwieldy when playing, and the phone is much handier.
Though, honestly… Since I Took the time to emulate/brand my presets Similar to the ones for my Mustang Three, I oasis’t edited many presets on the GT40, just I have tweaked many on the Rumble studio. The amp interface is simpler on the LT models, simply I believe that Tone works identically for LT/GT/Rumble amps.
I was never big into the customs boards on the fender site for the previous Mustang, except for Shaun’s stuff. I fabricated a few well received Marshall presets for the GT series in the Fender customs when I first got it, but I’d rather tweak my own then take somebody else’due south present.
I’ve got a GT xl, and a rumble studio 40, both apply Tone iii.0.I’ve had numerous problems with both amps connecting to Wi-Fi on their own, I near ever had to do it through the app until the concluding couple of updates.
Bluetooth has been better, simply not much. In one case an update is washed, and everything is working… It’due south fine until the adjacent update.

The amp interface is simpler on the LT models, simply I believe that Tone works identically for LT/GT/Rumble amps.

I also was not big on the Fender forum stuff but I did download all of Shane’due south presets. Every bit I’thousand sure you at present know all of the USA-made Fuse/Mustang/G-Dec forums are dead. All the same at that place seems to be a Spanish vrsion which is up or was upwardly.
So I am guessing then that the Fuse software is what it is … very articulate … but likewise very uncomplicated. Well I guess I volition concur on to my Mustang III V2.0 as long as I tin can. And I’thou not getting rid of that Chiliad-Dec three Thirty despite the cumbersome and confusing to me interface. Information technology just sounds so slap-up and is and then versatile.

However there seems to be a Spanish vrsion which is up or was up.So I am guessing and so that the Fuse software is what it is … very clear … but also very simple. Well I guess I will hold on to my Mustang 3 V2.0 as long equally I can. And I’yard not getting rid of that G-December 3 Xxx despite the cumbersome and disruptive to me interface. It just sounds then great and is so versatile.
When it works (in between updates), Tone is simply fine, it’s simple, and easy to drill downwardly in the settings, kind of similar a simpler version of the onboard MIII interface, simply with individual controls as you lot go further. Swiping to adjust virtual potentiometers is sometimes a little odd, especially if your fingers are dry.
It’due south actually easier to use than fuse once y’all get used to it, just what it’s missing is the graphic item of the interface.
There are some actually nice features, like playlists, which I have used while playing out. I actually like the Looper, but it’s not as precise every bit a standalone unit.
Sadly, the LT’s do non support the four button foot switch, or looper role.
since the windows/Mac Version of Tone just works via USB on the LT series, I have no experience with it. But I imagine it’southward non far off from the Bluetooth app. Hopefully someone will right me if I’thousand incorrect (like you lot did with Shane’s name, tin can’t believe I forgot information technology).
So, do they no longer take annihilation that works with the SC X2?
Fuse however works, Fenders just not supporting it anymore.
Morning folks,I wonder if anybody has tried out the newly available (I think) Fender Mustang LT 50 and specifically its Fender Tone 3.0 software withal? I realize that a strength of the new line is the ability to use bluetooth and your smart phone to adapt settings, download presets, etc. Only equally I said for some reason I tin can’t get bluetooth to work with my older Android 8.1.0 version TCL telephone. I don’t take home wireless but I understand I don’t need that to use bluetooth.
Anyway, I was drawn to the LT 50 because the Tone iii.0 allows desktop use and I was looking for the next generation, as information technology were, to the now discontinued and non-supported Fuse software. However I downloaded the Tone three.0 software for a “test run” … although I don’t own an LT 50 … and was actually surprised by what I found. Yes it looks nice and allows you to fine tune the presets and I guess download others … but it doesn’t offer anywhere near the detailed settings of the Fuse software.
In fact, I think the Roland software allows a more than detailed version.
Hither is the link I used if everyone wants to try it:
https://tone-back up.fender.com/hc/en-the states/articles/360031211592I think the new software is quick, intuitive and like shooting fish in a barrel to utilise … every bit opposed to the complexities of the Fuse software … but I was expecting something more “geek friendly” if you know what I mean.
As for my using bluetooth, I have spent hours trying to solve the problem and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. This is my commencement attempt always at using bluetooth. My computer recognizes my telephone but says it is non connected and I have the bluetooth function on and I downloaded an amp that says my telephone is proficient to go.
OMG, thanks for the link. I idea it only worked with the new LT50, simply the download page says it will likewise piece of work with my LT25. I tin’t wait to check it out.
I only installed it and looked at it without my amp connected. There doesn’t seem to exist anything that it can do that you can’t practise right on the amp, unless in that location are some furnishings parameters that aren’t available on the amp.
First I didn’t know it would work with the LT25. My local Guitar Center had a used i for $99 and I really liked information technology .. but I was thinking the LT fifty was the model that accepted the Tone 3.0 and so information technology HAD to exist very sophisticated. I really liked the sounds of the LT25 merely when I came dorsum the next day it had sold.
Equally for the software, that seems to be my thoughts as well.
I had been belongings out on the Katana 50 because the LT 50 was on the way and now I’grand starting to inch back into the Katana globe a chip but I’g call back I’m OK with amps.

It won’t connect to my LT25. It says it needs a firmare update, so I follow the directions to practise that, but it doesn’t happen. So, it apparently doesn’t work with the LT25 until Fender gets that sorted out. It’s too bad, ’cause it updates the number of onboard presets from xxx to 60, That’s the only thing I tin encounter that y’all can’t already do on the amp. All the amp and furnishings settings in Tone are the aforementioned as the ones on the amp itself. That’s one of the things I love about the LT25, that you can quickly and easily accommodate everything correct on the amp’s LCD screen, without having to connect to a computer. I had a Katana 50, but I sold it and got the LT25, ‘crusade it sounds better to me, especially at the low book level I employ, and it besides toll $80 less, $150 vs. $230, and you can tweak everything without a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Yep I agree it’south easier to use than Fuse, in fact a lot easier. Just it only doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the Fuse for the Mustang … you lot know sag, speaker emulation, noise gate (maybe I missed that) etc. Is all that really necessary? Probably not as I don’t think I always used all those functions.
Deplorable Ralph, I missed this response in March: Aye, Sag, Bias, and speaker emulation are all there in the Tone app for the GT40, and Rumble Studio xl. I can’t speak for a LT, as I haven’t had one in front of me.
ODistressing Ralph, I missed this response in March: Yes, Sag, Bias, and speaker emulation are all at that place in the Tone app for the GT40, and Rumble Studio forty. I can’t speak for a LT, equally I haven’t had one in front of me.
I would have to use the desktop version, which may be different. I downloaded information technology (of course I accept no comparable amp to connect it to) just I went through the options and I didn’t see anything similar that. Possibly I missed something or maybe the phone app has more stuff.

The telephone app has stuff that the desktop app doesn’t, because it’s fabricated for the GT and GTX amps, which have those features that the LT serial doesn’t. The best affair about the desktop app is that it has 99 factory presets, 30 of which I believe are the ones that come loaded in the amp. And, later on you update the firmware on your LT25, you lot and so take 30 more preset slots than you can fill with your ain sounds that you create from scratch, or load with any of the 99 manufacturing plant ones. If y’all need to know how to update the firmware, and connect to the app, run across my thread about information technology.

Thank you.
I do understand your reluctance to use bluetooth. FWIW the bluetooth didn’t piece of work on my two previous Androd phones but does seem to work on the phone I have now.
It would be nice if there was some form of third-political party app, such every bit Remuda, and so you could control your LT25/50. Btw, I’ve have tried using Remuda on both my older and new phones and I still can’t become it to connect.
