Fender Tone

Easy to use app with amazing tones in the simulated amps, cabinets and pedals in the GTX100. Although a lot of the preinstalled presets in the amp sounds like nonsens to me, I have quickly created, downloaded and adjusted a handful of wonderful blues, blues-rock, rock and hard rock presets. I am selling my old tubeamps and pedals and will stick to this app, my GTX100 with the GTX-7 footswitch and the EXP-1 expressionpedal. That gives me a lot more simplicity, flexibility and versatility for less money and room!

From Spider jam to Fender Mustang GT100! OMG! This is awesome! 😍

Great app

The app is not showing the correct components of the sound. The amp is correct but the app isn’t.

Bluetooth isn’t an option for lt25 but isn’t advertised on app description or actual amp

The app when it’s working is an awesome idea. The tones are great and a lot of options to choose from. The complaints are that I have to repeatedly try to get it to connect. Sometimes it connects right away, other times I have to try multiple times. My biggest complaint are with the preset lists. It would make a lot of sense to be able to sort the presets alphabetically. Like if I want all my Pink Floyd tones in order I would have to manually move them and that is labor some and annoying. Such a simple update would fix this yet still no option. Not sure why Fender doesn’t see this as a good addition.

Connecting an iPad to the Amp - required every time you turn on the amp, and it is very buggy. Not fun.

I have looked around for many apps that work with my electric guitar amp. I am blind, and there are very few applications that can actually be used by somebody who is blind on their iPhone. This application is very usable and provides unlimited amounts of modifications in settings. Very nice good job.

Over and over there are examples of hardware companies, especially legacy companies like Fender, totally botch modern products that incorporate software and digital interfaces. I have gone from a tube, tweed Fender Blues Jr. to a Boss ME-80 pushing a Blackstar solid state amp to a Fender GTX-100 and I gotta admit, while they completely botched the foot switch, they got the software right. It’s simple, easy to navigate and very intuitive; especially the iPad version. Nicely done Fender. What? You want to know the issues with the foot switch? Sure, I’d love to tell you. First, the buttons are LOUD! Ker-chunk with every press. I have many pedals and they all have a nice, somewhat delicate click. This thing is loud. Second, I have several looper pedals AND HERE IS HOW THEY ALL WORK. YOU PRESS TO RECORD AND PRESS THE SAME BUTTON TO START THE LOOP. NOT ANOTHER PEDAL TWO BUTTONS TO THE LEFT. this means that with some intricate loops I have to look away from my guitar to make sure I click a foot button that is two buttons to the right. Stupid. Almost like the didn’t try it themselves. Third, the included cord is crappy and you cannot use a third party cord. At least mine won’t work. And I’m talking real quality cords! You know, Fender, you should have had the software guys hold the foot switch.

I’m not sure if it’s the Fender GTX or if it’s the app but either way every time I’m playing, at some point or another the Bluetooth will go blank. It’ll say it’s still connected to my phone but wont work anymore. Love all the sounds this comes with though… great feature.
