Resource review: blog with Iron Maiden presets!
Digging into the comments of a preset in the fuse site 've found a link to this blog:
http://themtones.blogspot.co.uk
You can find here a number of Iron Maiden preset.
I've tested some (Iron Maiden and Seventh Son albums) and I've found they sound good enough. They worked with my EX370 in the single+bridge position. Not so good if you have mahogany and no single coils and not good for headphones. But with speaker and a single coil they are good!
I think i will start a new page with the internet resources for our 'Stang.

The best mustang preset review: number 1 - ACDC by ryry444
Disclamier: This post is part of a series where i test the most downloaded preset from Fender site. It should be consider as a personal opinion based on a test done with (probably) a different guitar.
ACDC is a basic preset, ryry444 tweaked only the amp without any effect, just like Angus would like. It uses the Marshall '80 changing the cabinet to the 4x12 greenback. Like Anugs indeed.
I tested it with my Ibanez SZ that is tonewise close to an SG. Both with the headphones and with the speaker. I played and compare with the tone from
How does it sound? It is a very nice British overdriven sound. A good example of this model. I feel like higer notes are a bit "choked" for my taste but it is really nice and fun to play chord and power chord.
How close it is? Well, i think that compared with the songs i played along it is a bit too much overdriven. I tweaked to a 4 of gain and toruned down both high and bass and the tone become closer. I dont know what guitar was used to shape the tone, but with mine i needed to backoff a bit. I remember reading an interview on guitar magazie where Angus said that he does not use much gain.
It would have been nice to know what guitar ryry444 is using. I suggest everybody to put this information on the notes when you upload a preset!
Anyway is a good tone, i suggest you to give it a try if you like the genere, and also vote it and comment it if you download it.

I've rated the preset 4 star on 5.

What i would like to see in a Fender Mustang I v3
- a display, at least with preset names
- MID knob
- 3 state on a single footswitch
- support for a bigger footcontroller like in the III/IV/V
- another FX slot so we can have compression+OD or WAH+OD
- Overdrive selectable via front panel like modulation and delay/reverb (maybe paired in the same knob with modulation like done for delay and reverb, this was a big mistake!)
- a better selection of preset, especially with 3-5 good metal tones that are really missing right now
i'd also like to see a fullsize USB connector, the mini one is a lot fragile
maybe bluethooth support will be a trendy addiction!
