I ordered a Mustang Floor from MF, made a phone call and got a extra 10% off the price which was already discounted 50%. I hope it is worthy of my Tele.


Robb, that seems like a good price. You'll get lots of use out of it and if you have to play out the XLR connectors will get you connected to the house in no-time. You might have to opt for some in-ear monitors to hear yourself loud enough in a live performance setting with drummer, bass, other amped instruments, etc.

Your wife and your back will be very happy! With the Aux in, you should be able to play along with whatever practice tunes you can feed it.

I see that this unit has the tuner button located in the 2nd row of button switches.

With the Digitech RP-500 and Zoom B3 amp simulators I use when I'm playing electric guitar and bass guitar respectively, I've grown to like tap tempo and tuner controls on the front row of buttons - The Zoom B3 has the tuner accessible there, but the Digitech has the tuner farther back on the pedal, making a bit of a 'tippy toe' action when tuning. Fortunately, my electric stays in tune pretty well, but my bass seems to really react to room temperature swings, which we have in our church in the 5 hours between initial setup, run-through, and 2 different worship services on a Sunday.

The B3 has the tuner right in the front row. Can keep the heel on the floor when you use it.

You'll also be able to record directly from this, without having to contend with mic'ing an amp in the right place. I think this is probably the biggest benefit of recording with amp simulation - you don't need to have an expert knowledge of placing mics with guitar cabs, and you can record loud (as well as practice loud) and nobody is the wiser. The two or three tones in this track: https://soundcloud.com/rockstar_not/scott-lake-cerulean-sky were my lowly MIM Strat and Behringer V-Amp 2 simulation. It has fooled some 'tone snobs' asking me how I got both the clean rhythm parts as well the distorted lead sounds. The only post processing I did was a very light delay that I added to the recorded track on the last few bars of the lead at the end of the song. You'll have similar sounds at your disposal (probably even better) with the Floor.

It's a pretty good deal as you get both an amp simulator and a recording interface.

Let's hear some recordings now!
