Three foot-control devices can be used with Mustang GTX amplifiers—the GTX-7 and MGT-4 footswitches
and the EXP-1 Expression Pedal.
The seven-button GTX-7 Footswitch comes with Mustang GTX100 and is optional for Mustang GTX50. It en-
ables convenient remote foot control of several functions, including the built-in tuner, amp preset selection,
effects bypass, 60-second looper and more. The EXP-1 Expression Pedal, optional for both Mustang GTX amps,
is a dual-mode digital pedal that controls Mustang GTX volume and amp/effect parameters.
The four-button MGT-4 Footswitch is optional for both Mustang GTX amp models. Note that instructions for
using the MGT-4 Footswitch can be found online in the Mustang GT Guitar Amplifier Expanded Owner's Manual
Rev. A (PN 7712493000), and in the Mustang GT Guitar Amplifier Addendum to Expanded Owner's Manual Firm-
ware V2.0 (PN 7715279000).
Connect the GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack on the amp's rear panel. The amplifier auto-
matically defaults to the connected footswitch while the amp is fully booted. The GTX-7 or MGT-4 footswitch
can be combined with the EXP-1 Expression Pedal by "chaining" the two pedals together.
The GTX-7 Footswitch has seven buttons—a BANK UP button at upper left, a MODE/TUNER button at upper
right, and five numbered FUNCTION buttons along the bottom. Three MODE LEDs are at upper right, and five
FUNCTION LEDs are arrayed with one above each FUNCTION button. The DISPLAY WINDOW is at top center.
A. BANK UP BUTTON: Used to move up and down through consecutive groups ("banks") of five presets.
B. DISPLAY WINDOW: Displays footswitch function currently in use.
C. MODE LEDS: Color-coded LEDs indicate which of three modes is in use—PRESETS (red), EFFECTS (amber)
or LOOPER (green).
D. MODE/TUNER BUTTON: Used to select among PRESETS, EFFECTS and LOOPER modes; press and hold for
chromatic TUNER mode.
E. FUNCTION BUTTONS/LEDS: Five numbered buttons enable foot control of various Mustang GTX func-
tions, depending on footswitch mode in use. Red LEDs above each FUNCTION BUTTON indicate various
functions in use.

Questions and answers
Simple question : How do you save a loop ?
The Fender GTX-7 does not have a specific function to save loops permanently. However, in LOOPER mode, you can record loops up to 60 seconds long and overdub multiple layers. The last overdub can be undone, but loops are not stored after turning off the amplifier.

@Mr. Anderson Let me know on this then .... once you have created a beautiful loop and need to save it for later , would you suggest to record that loop on to something like a JamMan or a tape recorder or a CD recorder ? Then you would be able to listen to it in the future ! What do you think on that ?
How to save the loop that you have created
