NUX Mighty Plug MP-2 Guitar and Bass Modeling Headphone Amplug with Bluetooth,13 Amplifier Models,20 IR,19 Variety of Effects

With a good pair of headphones, it is wonderful! Good presets that have VERY easily-modified parameters, sounds excellent, very varied amps/IRs/effects - great practice tool!

I was looking for a small multi-effects unit to travel with. This thing is awesome for practicing while you travel! It sounds great in headphones, but I also had good results plugging it into aux ports of car stereos and bluetooth speakers. I imagine you would have pretty decent sound if you plugged into a PA system too. Settings are easily tweaked on the 4 different channels (via the app), and the button to toggle between channels is at you guitar's jack, so it's not like having a peddle board, but you can still switch between channels somewhat easily. I cannot believe the variety of effects in such a small device, and such a low price! The only way to adjust sound is through the app, so that is a downside, but I just set it where I like it and only have to change it if I plug into a different device. Each channel can be set to a different volume level. Usually if I am moving from headphones to another device, that device has its' own volume control anyway, so no big deal. Highly recommend for anyone that needs portable tones, or even for any beginner on a budget. I wish I could have had so many tones for that price when I first started!Update after 6 months of use. I just noticed someone posted a negative review of this product and wished they had held on to some device they had from the 80s. Their main complaint was a lack of knobs and no volume control. I will admit that a physical knob or two, especially volume would be nice. The thing is, everything is adjustable in the app, sounds like this person did not realize that. I started playing in the 1980's and just 1 effects pedal would have cost about the same as the nux, and that would not be multi-effects, and no amp either. After 6 months I still love this thing! I just found out there is a 3rd party app called Mightier that can be used to tweak the different channels even further. I found that the volume varies if I am changing from BT speaker to headphones, so having to adjust volume on each channel if jumping between devices is a little irritating. Best to set everything to acceptable volume on headphones first, then just use BT speaker volume to adjust. Still super excited about this product and not sure how anyone could not like it, especially at this price.

7/25/22 UPDATE: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE!!!!!!I hadn't used the device for a few weeks (no time to practice) and the app reminded me to update the firmware, so I did it on 7/22. Instead of it improving the device, it rendered it unusable. There was noise present that wasn't there on the prior firmware.It can only be described as a high pitch, dog whistle frequency that dominates the signal. The noise gate is useless and it affects every preset. I was desperate to locate the firmware to roll back to the prior version.It took me 2 days to locate it via a Nux facebook group. An hour later after needing to convert .rar files and extract them, I was able to use the update tool to rollback to the order firmware. I know it worked because a) the app told me it was out of date and b) the high pitch whistle was gone.Now, I can use my device and I could care less about "new features". So, do not ever upgrade the firmware as there are numerous complaints. I have retained the old firmware files in case I have to repeat this process again.I had both the Mustang Micro and the Mighty Plug 2. I got the Micro first because I believed the reviews and I hated it. It never sounded good in any of the headsets I had, from studio headphones to Skullcandy earbuds.The Micro seems to have a persistent hiss at times and odd volume drops when streaming music to play to. No matter what I tried to equalize the guitar volume to blend with the music, the guitar was either far louder than what I was playing to or the opposite, too quiet to hear.I also hated the limited presets. The effects only have 5 adjustments. Nothing sounded good. The amp EQ only has 5 adjustments. Nothing sounded good, either. With the issues I was having with volume and headsets, I found the Micro fatigued my ears. I never got a usuable sound nor could play through it for more than 40 minutes. I sent that shit back for a refund.I received the NUX Mighty Plug 2 last week. It's built a bit lighter than the Micro, but the app is what makes a world of difference. There are some amps and effects that limited adjustments, however the rest of them do which allows you to dial it in better. Only takes a minute to cycle through your settings and add in reverb, delay or whatever suits you to find a useable tone.I love that it has a noisegate. Total lifesaver! Plus the NUX has built in backing tracks, simple but usable drum bank, EQ for bluetooth audio in, EQ for USB recording out and other useful features. I have not streamed videos yet (latency), however I have streamed music and there's no signal loss like I experienced with the Micro. It works flawlessly and a tweak here and there to tune your sound on the fly is quicker than you think. It's intuitive. The power button doubles as a mute button for the device.You'll find that a couple of hours have passed jamming away on this thing. For me, the Micro is overpriced at $99 given it's extensive lack of features. The NUX is only $69, has been around a year before the Micro, works and sounds better.I find the hype around the Micro to be overblown after my experience with it. I tend to be happier with under the radar products. The NUX may not have the same brand power as Fender, but these types of devices are way ahead of their competitors at a ridiculously affordable price.Try them out side by side yourself. Trust your ears and user friendliness. For me, the NUX is the better choice.
