Fender Tone 4+

Great app but..

This is a great app and it makes setting up your tones a doddle with a smartphone or tablet. There needs to be the option of copy and pasting text when creating your presets for uploading. I have tried to do this and it’s not possible. I found this out by typing out a long description of one of my tones, spell checking it and making sure there were no mistakes only to get to the end and it not posting even though I’ve tapped the post button and then losing all my text. Rather annoying when all I want to do is upload some tones with a good description.

I feel they could do the community side of things better so it would create interaction between users and I have taken matters in to my own hands by creating a Facebook group for this purpose, whilst stating that it is not affiliated with Fender. Please make these improvements for the extra star 😉

Really can’t connect to my Mustang GT100

The functionality would be great, but I can’t get it to connect. It used to work, but these days it just doesn’t. I have tried various things like forgetting pairings on both amp and iPhone, renaming the amp, closing down the app, restarting the amp multiple times, updating to the latest firmware (3.0.43) etc. It’s super unreliable. I wouldn’t buy a Bluetooth connected amp again. Having a new fancy 3D look is pointless for me. Just make Bluetooth work reliably!

Edit: it does seem to be much better now and actually useful

Developer Response ,

Hello. We've recently made some improvements to the Tone App! Please upgrade to the latest version of Tone. If you still encounter issues with Tone, contact us at consumerrelations@fender.com and we would be glad to assist you.

Mustang LT25

Please make the app compatible with the LT25 and a lightning to Mini USB cable. Recent update to LT25 firmware has made Fender Tone available with Mac and PC just need the App on iPhone / iPad to work now. Here’s hoping you can make it happen.

UPDATE: thank you for the response ,nearly a year after my first comments, it doesn’t help though. I know Fender Tone works with a Mac or PC as I said in the initial comments. The point of the comment was to make it work with an iPad or iPhone through a cable as the Amp hasn’t got Bluetooth. It would then be totally portable and very practical as a practice Amp. Please if possible make it work if you can. Many thanks for the support and you have improved the App and fixed a lot of the bugs people seemed to be having with the Bluetooth connection side of things. I would give this App 5 stars if it worked with iPhone through a lightning to USB cable.
