FENDER MUSTANG MICRO £89.99 Less is more...
Total Guitar|August 2021
Gear is subjective – we all gravitate to different things, sometimes surprisingly when it’s something we didn’t expect to like. But there’s a fundamental question we like to ask about new guitar gear; is it going to make a lot of people want to play more?
Rob Lain
FENDER MUSTANG MICRO £89.99 Less is more...

Fender have a recent form for breaking new ground to answer that question with an affirmative; Fender Play successfully tackles the question of how to keep new players... playing. Even the Acoustasonic series bridges the worlds of electric and acoustic in a fresh way that’s inspiring to experience. But Mustang Micro’s appeal is far more universal than that. It’s something every electric guitar player would benefit from owning.

The Mustang Micro takes some of the modelling techs of the Mustang series of combos and heads and squeezes it into a chassis about the size of a Club chocolate biscuit with a 270-degree rotating input jack. Plug your headphones in and you have access to 12 amps and 12 different effects combos. The amps each have five EQ settings and the effects each have the same number of parameter presets. This is all accessed at the side with + / - buttons, facing up to you as you play with colour coding.
