Thanks for posting! This is just the question I've been asking -- whether to upgrade from my Mustang 1. Mostly I think the display and the software make the LT25 worth the upgrade. Thanks!

I have a version 1 mustang1 that I managed to get 2 killer irreplaceable tones from that I switch between: a 65twin reverb clean with a slapback type sound, and the British 60's setting that gives a nice throaty woman tone. I bought it after playing it in a music store. I tried the LT in the store the other week and it sounded thin to me, but I only tried a couple presets. I fear the input Jack on my mustang is going bad so I bought a Blackstar 5w tube amp with a great clean tone and killer features to have for the Long haul, but nothing will ever replace the mustang 1 in my heart!

lt25 is CLEARLY superior to a lot of other amps but yes it is a practice amp but it can atcually get preety loud if you need that and best part at the lt25 is the price for what it offers its price is extremely good

I get some great blues tones with a Strat from the LT25 on the BF Deluxe and Twin amp models, with an overdrive in front and a little delay for sweetening the tone, with my favorite overdrive being the Caline Medusa Klon klone.

I know you can't really find any new Mustang V2's anymore but for my money it's better. You may be able to get way more sounds out of the Lt 25 but what you do get out of the V2 is much better tone all around. Perhaps the speaker is better. In any case it just sounds more natural to me. I found a used one at GC for 80 bucks andlove it.

Hey Tony, I'm a new subscriber. Just came across your channel. Awesome video and tones. I saw a video someone did and they used a 65 twin reverb. I fell in love with that tone. I think it's on the new Fender 3 tone app for windows. I'm just starting out on the guitar as a beginner at 65 and I think the LT25 would be a great starter amp. What do you think? Love your channel.
@tonyleeglenn2 жыл бұрын
Hey Johnny. Many thanks for subscribing. Glad you like the vids. The Mustang LT25 is a great amp for the beginner in my opinion. There are just a lot of great sounds to inspire you, and all at a very modest price. It's certainly loud enough for practice or even performance if you mic it up, or play with a drummer who uses an electronic kit. Some of the sounds are a little noisy, so I use the noise gate on most of my sounds. It works great though. I bought a cheap Behringer tube screamer to put on the front end before going into the amp and that makes for a very satisfying and low noise experience. Great sounds, lots of effects - and affordable. That really defines a good beginner amp for me.

I’d love to have both amps but that won’t be possible. I guess I’ll have to try both amps and see how I go cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Great advice Tony for nabbing a few of these low cost amps. I got a LT25 in April and so far I'm enjoying the daylights out of it. Although the tuner quit working on it in less than two months. But I use a Snark for tuning anyways. It still hacked me off that it quit so quickly. I only used it a couple of times. I'm still learning to play guitar so honestly the LT25 is light years ahead of my fully understanding how to get the most out of it. Thanks for the video and advice. You oughta check out the Monoprice Stage Right 15 watt tube amp. It's running $250 and has some positive reviews. Ya night wanna check out their Tele style and Strat style guitars. They have L.P. and semi hollow styles as well starting at $99 for the Tele & Strat models. I bought a Tele in a Sunburst color and it's a sweet and pretty well built guitar for the price. Later man.

Both are really great little amps and you’ll get satisfying sounds from either one. I guess if you want to stay more modern you go with the LT 25 boo and that’s a killer price you are getting. Thanks for watching Michael!

I don't think I'll buy any one of them, now that I know their plan is to discontinue the software. I got a 150$ paper weight in my closet already(a Tascam 144 USB Interface); the driver was discontinued a year after I bought it. It works with Windows XP. Tascam will sell me a new one for sure, but I won't buy it.
gee nothin personal here but i was actually expectin you to demonstrate the amps you were talkin about .. as opposed to just talkin about em for almost 13 minutes .. ya know like actually show the knob layouts and what they do .. the speakers they come with .. how hard they are to understand ..or easy ?/ i got after the first few minutes you liked em both .. but 12 minutes of i like em both and still no demo ?/ i got that after the first minute or two .. that left you 10 minutes to actually dig in and SHOW US SOMETHIN ABOUT THE AMPS ????????
