“I had a Fender Mustang for a while and it was a superb value, but I upgraded to a Katana and it was a significant improvement”
“I've had two of those (one I purchased, one bundled with a trade) and a katana and I thought the mustang didn't hold a candle to the katana”
“I can tell you without bias that the lt25 is a much better Amp, and also much easier to work with. If I had a choice, I would go back in time and get the lt25 instead. In a heartbeat.”
“These amps are fine and a nice introduction to amps and effects, but if you keep playing you'll eventually hear a better amp”
“While you may find more feature-packed amps in this price range, the Fender Mustang LT25 is an excellent pick for beginners and those who desire plug-and-play simplicity.”
“I honestly hated the mustang; I could never get a sound even close to as good as I could with the katana”
“The LT25 doesn't sound bad at all but 50 vs 25 watts and the fact the Boss Katanna has way more preset options”
“I own a Mustang LT25 and Katana Mk II 100w. Between a Mustang LT25 and a Katana 50, I actually think you should get the Mustang. It's easier to customize the settings”
“The LT25 can't load presets, only the GTX lines which I just found out myself... really sucks”
“The Mustangs GT/GTX does allow you to download, the LT doesn't. But the LT does allow you to make your own”
“The fender mustang line is honestly trash when compared to the katana”
“With its unfussy simplicity and interesting sounds, the Mustang LT25 is a modestly-priced digital combo that makes you want to play just that little bit longer.”
“They are both cheap practice amps that will get you started, but won't wow anyone”
“the Mustangs have a hard time with distortion pedals”
“Modelling tones, onboard effects and USB connectivity for recording your playing, the Mustang makes for a great value practice amp.”
“I personally prefer the Mustang for its presets and downloadable settings”
“The LT25 is going to be the better of the two”
“Mustang sounds like a fart compared to the DSL”
“The Mustang sounds great for what it is”
“the sounds of all three amps weren't that good”
“I have the Fender Mustang LT25 and highly recommend it, it's a great amp”
“Have an Mustang LT 25 Its an excellent value, and great sounding amp”
“the LT and the Champ are lacking”
“I have the 2x12 version of the Mustang and absolutely love it”
