Another entry from the big ‘F’, the Mustang amps have been Fender’s go-to amp for reliable, affordable modelling technology. Widely seen as a great practice amp for beginner to intermediate players, the GTX series takes the sheer convenience of having every tone at your fingertips to another level.

Creating your own presets is a breeze. The signal path on the GTX is entirely configurable, meaning you can reorder the blocks in your signal chain, all at the touch of a button – or change any settings you want from the Fender TONE 3.0 app. If you’re not keen on endlessly tweaking settings, then a massive collection of 200 artist-designed presets should be just right for you.

The specially designed 12-inch speaker boasts a pretty flat tonal response, so whether you’re replicating a Blues Junior, Deluxe Reverb, Bassman or using the Bluetooth connectivity to stream your favourite tracks, everything should sound just right. The included footswitch enables you to change presets on the fly, as well as access the onboard looper – making the GTX100 a pretty versatile amp, and one of the best combo amps you can buy.
