For overall volume level, simply turn the MASTER VOLUME wheel (B) to preference (image at right). To adjust overall tone, five different settings can be chosen using the +/- TONE BUTTONS (C) on the side of the unit (image below). These consist of a flat middle default setting, more dark

(--), less dark (-), less bright (+) and more bright (++). Tone control affects signal after an am-

plifier and effect are chosen. TONE LED color indicates tone setting in use (table below); LED will illuminate for 10 seconds and then extinguish until any button is pressed. MASTER VOLUME TONE SETTING

LED COLOR Yellow Green White Blue Red TONE More dark Less dark Flat Less bright More bright 6 BLUETOOTH Mustang Micro easily streams Bluetooth audio, so you can play along in your head-

phones or earbuds. The device is discoverable as Mustang Micro on smart phones and other Bluetooth devices. To activate Bluetooth pairing mode, push the POWER SWITCH (G) to the left, where the Bluetooth symbol is, and hold it there for two seconds. The POWER SWITCH Blue-

tooth position is spring-loaded for momentary contact only, and will return to the center ON position when button is released. In pairing mode, the POWER SWITCH LED will flash blue for two minutes or until a connection is established. When connection is successful, the LED will turn solid blue for 10 seconds and then extinguish until any button is pressed. To disconnect a Bluetooth device from Mustang Micro, hold the POWER SWITCH in the Bluetooth position for two seconds and then release it (as when pairing). This will end the Bluetooth connection and return Mustang Micro to pairing mode with a flashing blue LED; pairing mode will expire within two minutes if no other Bluetooth con-

nection is made, and the blue LED will extinguish. Alternately, disconnect using the external device. Mustang Micro automatically pairs with the last connected Bluetooth device if that device is available. Sync feature that reduces or eliminates latency?

CHARGING Mustang Micro provides up to six hours of battery-powered operation. Recharge Mustang Micro using the USB-C jack (H) on the bottom of the unit and the included USB cable. POWER SWITCH (G) LED color indicates charging status:

POWER SWITCH LED COLOR Green (Solid) Yellow (Solid) CHARGING STATUS Power is on, USB is connected and battery is fully charged. USB is connected and unit is charging whether power is on or off. Green (Flashing) Battery is at high power (greater than 50 percent) but not fully charged, and USB is not connected. LED flashes green for one second every five seconds. Yellow (Flashing) Battery is at medium power (20 percent-50 percent) and USB is not connect-

ed. LED flashes yellow for one second every five seconds. Red (Flashing) Battery power is low (less than 20 percent) and USB is not connected. LED flashes red for one second every five seconds. If power is on but no instrument input is detected for 15 minutes, Mustang Micro will automatically switch to a low-power sleep mode. Press any button to wake up from sleep mode. Does it shut off completely at some other point?

7 RECORDING Mustang Micro can be used as digital recording software output by using a USB cable to con-

nect the USB-C jack (H) on the bottom of the unit to the USB port on the users Mac or PC. FIRMWARE UPDATE To perform a Mustang Micro firmware update, follow these three steps:

1. With Mustang Micro off, press and hold the + TONE BUTTON (D). 2. With one end of a USB cable connected to a Mac or PC, connect the other end to Mustang Micros USB-C jack. 3. Release the + TONE BUTTON. Successful initiation of firmware update mode is then indicated by a solid white POWER SWITCH LED (G) for 10 seconds; the white LED will then begin flashing to indicate an update in process. When a firmware update is complete, the POWER SWITCH LED will illuminate solid green for 10 seconds and then extinguish to indicate a successful update; the LED will illuminate solid red for 10 seconds and then extinguish to indicate a failed update. Mustang Micro is automatically powered up during the firmware update process; when an update is completed successfully, Mustang Micro must then be restarted. FIRMWARE UPDATE INITIATED (SOLID) IN PROCESS (FLASHING) FIRMWARE UPDATE SUCCESSFUL (SOLID) FIRMWARE UPDATE FAILED (SOLID) FACTORY RESET A Mustang Micro factory reset can be performed that resets all buttons (AMP, TONE, FX, FX LEVEL) to their original factory values and clears the Bluetooth paired device list. Initiate factory reset mode by turning Mustang Micro on while holding the + FX BUT-

TON (E) for three seconds. Do LEDs do anything during factory reset?
