Fender Mustang GTX 50: A Tour Through Some Amps - Mic'd and DI'd

This video pairs an Eric Johnson Stratocaster with the Mustang GTX50 and takes a tour through many of Fender&own amp models along with a couple of others for good measure. Mostly classic tones here, no high gain stuff (another video perhaps). I&recorded the Mustang GTX&Stereo Line Outs and an SM57 channel in parallel so we can compare them in this A/B situation. Microphone placement will have a significant effect on the 57&channel, of course, but I&used my tried and true method to get what we have here. Some Low Cut at 80Hz was applied to the SM57 channel, nothing to the DI channel. I used a PreSonus Quantum to send both signals to Logic and used Logic&native &mastering bus setting for some light limiting. Aside from that, what you see (and hear) is what you get. My verdict? These amps are a LOT more than just a versatile practice solution. They can be employed for serious recording and stage applications, no problem. Coupled with the Tone 3.0 App and/or the GTX-7 FC, they&be hard to beat if you&looking for a versatile modelling amp.
