XD Series 24-bit Digital Wireless: Wireless for Any Stage
The concept of wireless is irresistible, but the reality is often a series of compromises: altered tone, increased noise and interference leading many potential users to shy away from it.

What if all of those problems just disappeared? What if your wireless sound was identical, or better yet, an improvement over your wired sound? Considering the significant investment you've made in your equipment, this would be a good thing wouldn't it?

The XD Series from X2 offers a variety of wireless solutions you've been waiting for. Designed specifically for music and live sound applications, XD Series wireless systems deliver your tone and performance with the sound and feel of a direct wire connection - all at affordable prices.

This is made possible with digital conversion. At the transmitter, a 24-bit converter captures audio signals at the source with full frequency response and full dynamic range and transmits the digital data to the receiver. The data is then sent to a 24-bit digital-to-analog converter and sent to the output connectors. The first thing you'll notice is that the audio signal is pristine - no noises and no compression. You'll also appreciate that all X2 systems are 2009 Compliant so they're free from FCC/DTV concerns.

X2 offers the XDS95, a portable stompbox system for recording, rehearsing or gigging, or the XDR95, a professionally equipped rack mount system featuring Q-DiversityPLUS™ (think true diversity multiplied by two) with extended range for higher level performances including larger venues. And new for 2008, the XDS-PLUS - a pro stompbox that has many of the XDR features crammed into its metal chassis.

Lastly, X2's products are designed and manufactured in the USA with over 10 years experience producing the finest digital wireless systems available being poured into everything we make. The XDS-95 from X2 delivers your tone and performance with the sound and feel of a direct wire connection. 24-bit digital converters, yielding a 117 dB dynamic range, capture your most expressive performances without the use of companders. Other features include five simultaneously compatible channels, a frequency response all the way down to 10 Hz for truly thundering lows, TRS 1/4" output for instrument and full-bandwidth or tuner out applications, and a five segment LED display. Simply connect the transmitter to the source via the 1/8" threaded-collar locking connector, and the stompbox-style receiver to your amplifier, mixer, or pedal-board. Then power up making sure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel.

Fender Mustang I Electric Guitar Amplifier Review



Fender Mustang I Electric Guitar Amplifier Feature

  • 20 Watts
  • 1-8" Fender Special Design Speaker
  • One channel (with 24 presets)
  • Controls: Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, Master, Preset Select, Modulation Select, Delay/Reverb Select, Save Button, Exit Button, Tap Tempo Button

Mustang I is a 20-watt closed-back combo with an 8” Special Design speaker that sounds great and pumps serious volume. It contains 24 highly accurate on-board amp presets with tones from vintage Fender sparkle to outrageous modern metal distortion, and a bank of 24 built-in effects including chorus, flanging, phasing, tremolo, vibratone, step filter, reverb, echo, octaver and more — 12 modulation effects and 12 delay and reverb effects in all. It’s great for practice and jam sessions, and an 1/8” headphone jack lets you play loud, even if only for yourself. Further, connect Mustang I to your computer with free Fender FUSE software. Open up a world of possibilities, including on-screen parameter control, deep editing, additional effects, unlimited preset storage, online preset swapping with the Fender FUSE community, and free Fender artist presets. An optional single-button footswitch controls two quick-access presets.

HIGH-SPEED

Mustang™ I and II contain 24 highly accurate on-board amp presets with tones from vintage Fender® sparkle to outrageous modern metal distortion. Arranged in three banks of 8, all 24 amp presets are easily and instantly accessed right out of the box with only a twist of a single knob. Plug in and you’re up and running.

AMPED-UP

Shape your tone with a huge bank of 24 built-in effects including chorus, flanging, phasing, tremolo, vibratone, step filter, reverb, echo, octaver and more — 12 modulation effects and 12 delay and reverb effects in all. Mustang™ amps pack it all into a striking visual design. Sleek and modern Fender® styling provides a look that’s as desirable as the sound.

Fender Mustang I Amp
LOUD

Mustang I and II sound great at any volume, and although they’re the smallest members of the family, their closed-back cabinets and Fender Special Design speakers pump serious volume. The 20-watt Mustang I and the 40-watt Mustang II are great for practice and jam sessions. An 1/8” headphone jack lets you play loud, even if only for yourself.

USB CONNECTIVITY

Connect Mustang to your computer with free Fender® FUSE™ software. Open up a world of possibilities, including on-screen parameter control, deep editing, additional effects, unlimited preset storage, online preset swapping with the Fender® FUSE™ community, and free Fender artist presets.

Control Panel

Mustang runs from a very simple control interface, which includes gain, volume, treble, bass, master, preset select, modulation select, delay/reverb select, save button, exit button, tap tempo button — all easily navigated.

Amp Modeling

Mustang™ I and II contain 24 highly accurate onboard amp models with tones from vintage Fender® sparkle to outrageous modern metal distortion. Easily connect to your computer to add to the number of amp models, too.

Mustang™ I and II give you 24 individual amp presets arranged in three banks of 8 (i.e., three ’57 Deluxe™ presets, three Brit ’60s presets, etc.). These presets are easily and instantly dialed up using the “preset” knob (or from your footswitch or computer). Turn this knob to scroll through each of the three preset banks, which are indicated on the control panel by LED columns colored amber, green and red.

The red and green banks are for creating your own presets; the amber bank can only be modified using Fender® FUSE™ software.

MUSTANG I  amplifier modeling preset controls
Modulation Effects

Mustang further sculpts your sound with 12 sweeping, swooping and shimmering adjustable modulation effects, including chorus, phaser, flanger, vibratone, tremolo, step filter and octaver. Use your computer to add more effects, too.

MUSTANGâ„¢ I & MUSTANGâ„¢ II modulation effects control knob
Delay / Reverb Effects

Mustang makes the room resound with 12 easily adjustable delay and reverb effects ranging from subtle to cavernous, including tape delay, stereo/mono delay and room/plate/hall reverb.

Mustang I and II each have 24 effects controlled by two simple selection knobs on the control panel. The first knob (“MOD”) controls 12 modulation effects; the second (“DLY/REV”) controls 12 delay/reverb effect

MUSTANGâ„¢ I  Effect Level Controls

The MOD and DLY/REV knobs share the same three selection indicator LEDS. These LEDS are numbered 1, 2, and 3, and they correspond to the three positions within each of the selection ranges, labeled A, B, C and D on each knob (see the Mustang I/II manual for a table listing the effects selection for each knob). Use the LEDs to determine exactly which position the knob is pointing to (using the factory settings of the “MOD” knob, for example, position 1 in the A selection range gives you chorus, position 2 in the A selection range gives you deep chorus, and position 3 in the A selection range gives you flanging).

Adjusting the effects levels on Mustang I and II couldn’t be easier—simply hold down the “EXIT” button while turning the “MOD” or “DLY/REV” knobs. Doing this adjusts “how much” of a particular effect you’ll get, according to your personal preference.

USB Connection

Mustang includes USB connectivity for high-quality, low-latency audio output, and to engage the Fender® FUSE™ software application for PC and Mac. This opens up a world of possibilities, including on-screen parameter control, deep editing, unlimited preset storage, online preset swapping with the Fender® FUSE™ community, and free Fender artist presets.

Tuner

Onboard chromatic tuner puts intonation right on the money quickly and easily.

Onboard Chormatic Tuner

Sleek and modern Fender styling provides a look that’s as desirable as the sound. Mustang has Fender’s classic silver grille cloth, and is covered in tough, great-looking “carbon tweed” black textured vinyl.
