I have the Peavey Vypyr VIP and the Sanpera II footswitch. It has a great range of options, amp types, and voices. With the footswitch, you can control volume and it has a looper, which is really cool. With that said, it doesn't have a great deal of resources for how to use either of them. I have tried out the Mustang and it is incredible. Great instructions, easy to use software, and wow, the amps really sound as good as the amps it models. The "clean" is awesome. I cannot get a really good clean from the Peavey. Mustang wins for me, hands down! And you don't have to purchase the $200 footswitch to "unlock" it features.

I had to research the Peavy before answering. To get anywhere near the performance and options of the Fender Mustang I V2 20 watt, you have to go with the much more expensive Peavy 100 Watt Vypyr 3. Even then, with the Peavy you are stuck with the built in options. With Fenders FUSE software, you can change this amp a thousand different ways using just your computer, a USB cable and the fender FUSE software. Plus you can download beats and backgrounds to play along with, which you can't do with Peavy. So either this Fender or the Peavy 3 100 watt for a lot more money. (And even then, with the Peavy you have to buy the optional pedals to get any decent sound from the video on the site I watched).

The best way to decide is to go to a store and try them and decide which is truly right for you. Mustang is versatile, but maybe the peavy has the more specific sound you want

Im intermediate and i think its great. Four amp models- clean, crunch, metal and insane - really do allow me to switch from straight rock to say, blues. And its plenty powerful. Amp snobs prefer tube amps, but i dont see myself outgrowing this for awhile.Sorry, i havent used that squier model.

There's an effects loop on the back. Comes with 2 button foot switch or you can purchase a 4 button , both can be programmed for the built in effects. You would have a ton of options. You could use your ME for modulation and delay effects and set the amp on which modeling amp suits your needs like marshall, vox, fender etc. But if it was me and I really liked the sound of my ME I might spend more and get a non modeling amp. SS or tube. I like my mustang 3 cause its light and just plug it in. No pedals or even a foot switch , I have the first 10 patches set up for my style and its just a quick turn of the knob. That is not ideal for gigging but for me at home or jamming with friends its just fine. There's an effects loop on the back.

I use my Peavey Escort for all my events. No one has ever complain. I own 4 Peavey Escorts.People are amazed at what it does.

The Bellari VP130 Tube preamp is what I use. Sounds fantastic along with the Debut.

A really good amp is the Schiit Fulla (seriously).... check it out if you are looking for one.

Hello, If this foot switch was to work with the Mustang, it would only switch between the presets. Please note that it is not designed to work with the Fender Mustang 1 V2. Thank you

I wouldn't suggest it unless you perhaps got a car 6.5" woofer speaker and did a swap. What you may wish to do is see about a Yamaha THR10 (has setting for bass... not loud, a bit pricey imho) maybe a Roland Bass Cube RX (made for bass, duh, I have reg Cube RX and it's pretty solid Roland Micro Cube Bass RX Battery-Powered Bass Combo Amp ) If don't need to run on batteries, maybe a Peavey Vyper 1 will fill the bill (handles all types of guitars including bass).

The Mustang II is a great amp plenty of power , you will just have to find the setting you like for that Telecaster .

the mustang is nice also, but the champion 20 you can plug any device without any distortion or interferance with guitar ,the only thing is that you you control, the volume with your keyboard or whatever device you use.

dont buy that i just sent mine back i mean its not a bad amp its just that anarchy is there bottom oof line the panet audio axis 1500 watt is the same price i dont know what your speaekrs specs are but i actually went with the Planet Audio PX3200D wich is 1ohm stable and its a class D amp wich is more effecient then an A/b and if this amp doesnt blow my socks off its goin back and im going with the big bang 2500 watt class D thats one of there top of the line amps

i have used a peavey20usb with crown,qsc,and a few other brand amps,crown are my favorite.also peavey,their just priced alot higher to get the same clean power.i have been wanting to check into their new series though, ipr i think,and the 3800 peavey is a great buy.3800 watts at4 ohm mono compared to a crown xti4000 at 3200 watts @4ohm mono at a better price. peaveys starting to get some good amps that will power their speakers and not cost hundreds more to do it, and last last forever. josh

The best amp I heard with the HE500's was the Schiit Mjolnir balanced amp. It was a dramatic improvement over the Lyr.

No further power needed and no hums/noises of any kind. Just connect to the amp and you're good to go. This with my vypyr 30.I presume the other models would behave the same

Sorry to disagree with Blake, but I own about every travel amp including Roland minicube, Mustang beats it hands down. Same size, much better sound, cheaper... those 24 presets and good twin reverb sound are bees knees. Haven't dropped like micro cube however. Cube was great in it's day, but things have improved

An analogy for you: You can drive a Corvette without a turbocharger and it will be faster than an Impala, but you would be wasting your money. You can listen to this without a DAC/amp and it will sound better than a $20 set of heaphones, but you will be wasting your money. You need a DAC/amp to get your money's worth out of these.

Bought myself the Crown x4000 amplifier. Here it is for $300, I believe it's on sale right now? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/crown-x4000-stereo-2x1350w-power-ampWorks fine, haven't had a problem and it pushes these speakers perfectly!
