The line out is worth it ????
As a package (gain,volume,master knob & preset & 12") it is a bargain. Plus the line out!
I JUST bought this amp and it’s being delivered to me tomorrow. I can’t wait! I was torn between getting the 25watt or the 50watt but eventually decided on the 50 just in case I need that extra umph.
Great that the line out doesn't disable the speaker! And thanks for the great work around! Some of us old guys need to hear the room and not the mix. Too many sound guys are not familiar with the song or the band so the mixed gets half-baked.
The Katana is a solid state amp while the LT50 is more of a modeler. The Kat has its own sound while the fender is trying to emulate the sounds of different amps. That’s the main difference in terms of sound and tone. I hate that the LT50 has no physical reverb knob. That said I have found that the LT50 has the ability to create some great tones when you build your own amps and save the settings. I have saved up all 60 presets. Some of my favorite amps are the Excelsor, the Princeton, and the Tweeds. Really good starting points to build your own sound from. The Excelsor is the best to me to build from because of the power and the mid range punch. It cuts through any mix imho. All in all this is a really good practice amp, and a pretty good gigging amp for small venues. I love the power of the 50 over the smaller LT25, which allows you room to make up some great tones. I think it’s worth the price you pay. But if I had to choose between this and the Katana I would choose the Katana. However, they are two different types of amps as I said at the beginning. The LT50 is a modeler so if you’re looking for those amp tones, you may like it. Also, the Katana sounds better cranked like a tube amp while the LT50 sounds better less cranked, which is probably due to the speaker more than anything else. That’s my two cents.
I’m thinking about getting this amp and my only concern was menu diving through the presets but your explanation while showing a closeup of the screen was super helpful. Looks much easier than I thought it might be. I’m in! I have a Boss Katana 100 already but want something lighter and less than 20 pounds sounds perfect. Thanks for a great demo!
Hi! Thanks for this summary. I have this amp for more than a year. The reason for it doesn't mute the speaker while the line out jack is on is that the line out and speaker volumes can be separately adjusted – this makes the amp usable also as your monitor when gigging, giving you a free choice to make your own monitor volume (for smaller performances it is a real gift). Regarding the noise – at glance I thought the same like you like how Fender could come out with a noisy amp. Later on I found out that the cause of the noise was the bad shielding of the electricity in my flat – it is solved and the amp is now completely without noise (in fact, it was not the manufacturers fault) Luckily, because if I would use the built-in noise gate all the time, I would use one slot of the Fender pre FX chain for that purpose without adding value.
I bought this amp specifically for the line out feature; Frankly I cannot comprehend why anyone makes an amp of any size without this, but they're not easy to find. Anyways the point of my comment really is that the way you disable the speaker when using line out is to turn the master to zero. That's what my expectation was before purchase and that is literally the first thing I checked when I set the thing up. I would have been pissed if that had not been the case. And it's a great amp. I love the sounds of many of the built in presets, and the general sound of the amp playing through the builtin speaker is very nice. I would buy this amp again – and I probably actually will, so I can keep one at my friends house where we generally gather to jam, and one at my house for my own separate use (yeah, I'm the guy that hates carrying anything around!). Great review video, lots of great info, thank you!
Does the fender footswitch 1 button work on this amp?
is it possible to hear a raw sound of my guitar without any preset or effects with this amp? if so how do i do it?
Does it have any bass to it?
I dont need a giant high pitched tweeter. I need to feel the tone too.
What does the “headphone input” input? Your thoughts?
Just kidding. I know you meant, “Output.”
BTW, I like the fact that the speaker is live even when line out is used. It allows me to use my LoudBox Mini as a “boost” PA when I need just a little more volume.
a difference i have noticed is that mine came with Celestial Speakers
Absolute beast of an Amp
it tends to do well for my practice sessions on my Goth Doom Metal riffs and atmospheric soundings
whats the difference between the mustang lt25 and lt50?
How loud is? Can it make it in a garage band with a drummer?
which amp sounds better to you fender mustang lt 50 or boss katana 50?
Your a Legend Allen. I'm a begginer and couldn't make up my mind, but you totally broke it down like a rock star and I definitely want thr lt50. I owe it to you Brother, thanks a million. ????????
I'm stuck between the Fender Mustang LT25 and LT50. Not sure if the LT50 is worth the extra money. I also live in a 1 bedroom apartment until I get a house. So I'm not looking to shake the place. Just looking for something to noodle on. No gigs for me or anything. Should I get the LT50 or just get the LT25?
This is the only amp i have at the moment and im going to start out in a band soon do you think it would be loud enough with drums?
Sk8er Boi sounds pretty good on it 😉
What's the song you played in the skate punk effect?
I am a beginner and this amp makes a horrible buzzing noise unless I hold down the strings on the guitar. Have tried with different guitars and cables and same horrible buzzing. Any advice?
My wife just bought this amp for me and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival.. Thanks for the great review..
Had the LT 50 for just over a year now and use it to practise daily in my music room and also use it at band practise playing classic rock and blues in a 5 piece band. I use the Deluxe Clean settings that I have adjusted for clean, mild overdrive, medium overdrive, chorus settings. Takes pedals well, but I mainly use Boss OD 3 for certain tones with my Telecaster. It certainly is loud enough in a band situation, and I play it flat on the floor – no tilt back or amp stand required. I found I needed to set the mids at 5 in a live band setting to be heard in the mix. I certainly would have no problem using this amp in a live gig setting as most bars and venues do not want loud bands anymore. If more volume is required, I would run a mic in front. I found the Deluxe clean setting the most accurate and useful settings on which to build a tone platform for my playing with a TELE or Strat. This amp delivers what I need, and is extremely light to transport. Hope this helps.
Can I use this for acoustic guitar ?
So
All that great info
I know this amp obviously runs mono as a stand alone 1 speaker amp
But are the any of this amps effects stereo?
As you mentioned that you run the line out with a trs cable begs the question
Nothing here about how this operates with the footswitch is a bummer
I can't find info vids on the footswitch anywhere
Ty!
great video, thank you. Does it have a built in noise supressor ? Thanks
It's not a bad product and honestly if you're a beginner it gives you plenty of practice but personally I sent mine back after a few days
I was refunded and I ended up taking a Spark mini and Bias FX2 from the same brand
The sound of the speaker is not the best but it is so much more complete than the mustang.
For someone who is just starting out I would recommend a spark mini, it's more than enough unless you play live or you are a tone nerd and can’t live without your tube amp
