REGRET RADAR

Fender Mustang LT25 Amp: is it worth it long term?

A 25-watt digital modeling practice combo with an 8-inch speaker, a 1.8-inch colour screen, 30 presets, 20 amp models and around 25 effects, plus headphone, aux and micro-USB recording connections. Owners like its easy preset browsing and Fender clean tones for home practice, but the small speaker, effect-heavy factory presets and lack of Bluetooth lead some players to outgrow it.
