FENDER MUSTANG LT25 £139

Modelling, effects and recording made easy

- Stuart Williams

From apps to computer software, mini headphone amps to rackmount modellers, there’s no shortage of products available for us to plug into in order to practise playing the guitar. If anything, the amount of choice can be somewhat overwhelming, with interfaces replacing your amp, your amp doubling as an interface, all with pretty much everything you actually need under the hood.

Fender is no newcomer to the modelling amp game, its Mustang amps have always impressed us with the number of features, sound quality and ease of use. So what’s the LT25 all about, then? Well, it’s a modelling combo featuring an eight-inch speaker, 20 amp models, 25 effects, USB connectivity, and an auxiliary input. In an era where seemingly everything connects to everything else over bluetooth, requires some sort of smartphone integration and will switch your lights off if you press the wrong button, you’ll forgive us for actually feeling quite refreshed as we connect our guitar with a jack cable and start trying out sounds.
