We recommend updating your amplifier's firmware to the most recent version available in order to access the latest features and improvements for your specific amp model.
If at any time you experience an issue with your amplifier, please check for available firmware updates that may have fixed your issue in the latest version.
Important!
Mustang GT amplifiers running a firmware version below 1.3.5 will first need to run an update using the Mustang GT Firmware Patch Utility. Click here for more information.

Note: you may see slight variations in your amplifier's menu interface depending on your firmware version and amplifier model.
