The Firmware Patch Utility is only for Mustang GTs running a firmware version below 1.3.5.

This tool is not intended for use with Rumble Stage & Studio amps. 

Do you need it?

  • If your Mustang GT is running a firmware version below 1.3.5, you will need to run an update using the Mustang GT Firmware Patch Utility in order to do firmware updates over WiFi going forward.

To check your firmware version, press the MENU button and use the Encoder to scroll to ABOUT THIS AMP. The firmware version is listed as ‘VERSION.’

System requirements:

To connect the Patch Utility to your amp, you will need a USB to micro USB cable.

Check the Base Firmware on your amp: 

  • You will want to make note of the base firmware version you are running, so you can confirm that it has updated by one version after running the patch. The base firmware version is located on the same screen as your firmware version (press the MENU button and use the Encoder to scroll to ABOUT THIS AMP). The base firmware version is listed as ‘BASE VER.’

    Base Firmware 1.0.38 will update to 1.0.39

    Base Firmware 1.1.2 will update to 1.1.3
