Fender Tone

This simplifies the control of the Mustang GTX to quickly and easily optimize amp plus pedalboard for any sound. I dont need my computer and its as easy as any tube amp front panel controls. A WINNER!

Awesome app. Gives you pretty much complete control of your amp and effects chain and settings. Lets you make changes or adjustments and try new tones on the fly without having to save them. Exactly what I was looking for. I like you you can delete the cabinet simulation from the amp setting to open up the sound too.

When this app connects to my GTX50 amp, it’s awesome. However, it connects rarely!! The only reliable way of connecting is to delete all Bluetooth settings in the amp, restart the amp, then connect to it. It rarely connects again without deleting all Bluetooth settings. It is very frustrating!! And the internet is full people with the same complaint. PLEASE fix this!!

Works perfectly. Very intuitive and easy to use. The amp is great as well.

Really like it! Doesn’t feel like most apps that are made for random products. You can tell they put time into this to make it look nice, feel seamless, and is very easy to use.

I don’t know if it loses Bluetooth connection frequently or what but that “Syncing In Progress” or whatever that message is comes up far too often. Fender needs to fix 2 things; the Mesa amp models have no controls in the app. No gain, volume, nothing. Secondly, the cloud backup does not always work. It seems that the first time in the day that I attempt a backup, it works. If I try again with a more updated backup, it fails every time. Stupid.

Let me start out by saying this. I am majoring in computer information technology at Purdue university, so before you assume I’m some old man who doesn’t know how to use technology, I can assure you this is not the case. On paper this app is great. It’s a revolutionary way to play your guitar with a great tone without all the hours of fine tweaking to get a better tone. However, whoever designed the Bluetooth/WiFi functionality of this app needs to be fired YESTERDAY. The app refuses to connect to your amp if you haven’t updated it which is fine, just update your amp stupid. But upon updating your amp there’s still a VERY solid chance the tone app will refuse to connect to your amp EVEN IF ITS ALREADY CONNECTED TO YOUR PHONE. This review would be totally different if this was a once in a while thing, but I’m consistently dedicating 30+ minutes every time I want to find a new tone to troubleshooting just because this app, which is literally designed for the amp I’m using(Mustang GT 100 btw), is about as reliable as dog s***. I’m not one to write reviews so the bottom line is this: I want to love this app, it’s a fantastic idea for FREE. But it’s poor network design is infuriating beyond belief. I guess you get what you pay for 🤷🏽‍♂️

I want to to like this app and my GTX amp, but it’s inability to connect to the amp reliably makes it a pain to use. Frequently the app cannot find the amp, and no amount of turning on and off the Bluetooth on either side would make it work. I see this issue being mentioned all over the internet yet Fender never offered a workable solution. I do know what the issue is so I’m offering it here, hopefully it will help you. But, to the developers: if you see this, please fix it ASAP! It’s a big that’s greatly cripples an otherwise great amp. The solution: your phone needs to be near the amp when you turn the amp on! Otherwise the app will not find the amp later even if the phone is already connected to the amp via Bluetooth. I haven’t tested the maximum distance for this to work, but I estimate it’s no more than a few feet. I know, it’s stupid and beyond annoying! Please fix it!

Nice tones but connecting to Bluetooth and backing up is a major pain.works half the time...frustrating!

This app is really a game changer for guitar players it enables you to change the settings for your guitar app from your phone works great and very reliable
