The Mustang GT is our flagship Mustang housed in a touring friendly enclosure. It's roughly the size of a standard Boss pedal. We retained everything from the large box Mustang in the Grand Touring edition.
The Mustang GT is a class-A overdrive based on one of the most iconic recording channels, the Neve 1073.
Supercharged with a modified gain control and variable negative feedback, the Mustang GT lets the player control their harmonic content and breakup, allowing for a soaring, searing overdrive typically unattainable by its studio brethren.
In contrast the player can roll down the harmonics for a smooth, classy tone similar to a studio preamp. A JFET front end offers a high impedance input and delivers a healthy signal to the sensitivity control, which provides most of the gain and input level.
The simple layout is inspired by the motor-sports of yesteryear; rugged, effective machines that served their purpose and let their operators perform their best. The design of the Mustang GT is no frills, with a focus on tone.
The custom chassis sports a UV print by pedal artist Nick Smith, and is an homage to the iconic car and warplane that share the Mustang name.
Similar to other Lauren Audio pedals, the internals are stocked with high quality parts. The transistors are BC109C as spec'd in the original Neve documents, and all components are selected to emulate the classic build.
High quality coupling caps, polystyrene filtering/feedback caps, and low noise resistors provide studio quality tone. The internal voltage multiplier supplies the circuit with 24v like the classic rack unit, delivering incredible headroom and dynamic depth.
Connections are handled by Pure-Tone and Cliff jacks, switching is a GØRVA high quality true bypass switch, and controls are Alpha pots with GØRVA metal knobs for rugged use.

good, not need any other express
It's always on and will always be always on.
High end sparkle, low end grit. Character for years. Haven't played another drive like it, and likely never will. So good.
This is maybe one of if not the coolest drive pedal ever. A lot of companies come up with all kinds of cool, well written marketing to describe what’s product does and we feel amazed if it lives up to half of it, well the Mustang lives up to all of it. I’ve never felt so much luscious, good tone that translated so well to a variety of guitars, pickup types and amp set ups as this pedal. I’ve been lucky enough to get my paws on a handful of Lauren Audio pedals, the Corsair, Spotfire and the Mustang and the Mustang is my favourite of the bunch. All of them are mind blowing, this one just has a little extra that is hard to explain.
Fun story: when James shipped this pedal to me we were evacuated from a forest fire, the Mustang arrived the same day the fires hit our area and it sat in the post box as the fires burned down the strip mall around it, then sat there for another 6 months before we were allowed to collect the contents of our post box. The box was spot covered, everything smelled like smoke and chemicals, other folks had things in their boxes melt or scorch. The Mustang survived, worked perfectly as soon as it was plugged in and immediately lit the room on fire (pun intended) with it’s tones.
So I have to say, between the tone and it’s incredibly durable build quality, I’m a fanatic for these things and everything Lauren Audio makes.
