Fender Mustang Series of Amps with Richard Hunter

Posted Mon, 01/29/2018 - 16:49 by David Barrett Admin

I did a review on one of the Fender Mustang amplifiers recently. Richard Hunter has spent a tremendous amount of time getting to know the entire Mustang series, so I asked him to do a couple videos demonstrating the various models of amps and how to use the FUSE software for us. Richard also sells patches for the amps. If you would like to save the time of experimenting yourself, visit his website http://www.hunterharp.com/buy-richard-hunters-huntersounds-patch-set-for... to purchase.
