That was very good. And it brought attention to how great MK is.
@@chancemiller9340 he is amazing! Such genius
Katana its like a Commodore 64 operative sistem .what a idiots engineers.
@@b-race2955 yeah it’s very outdated
Some really good tones via that Ambient patch, especially in parallel with other dropped signal chains, I’ve been having good fun with that one.
@@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist nice one! This unit is rather special. Gives some great tones for such sensible money.. we are lucky as guitarists nowadays 👍🏻🤘🎸
È la mia ! Felicissimo di averla comprata.✌️
È una chitarra assolutamente brillante per il suo prezzo
This sounds like fun and i will definitely try to get tickets but i have a fear that danny doesn't really want to do busted vs mcfly he might think its a bit childish as hes hardly been seen in the promos and doesnt sound excited as the others ....
@@heatherlingard9444 yeah was concerned by his absence on the one show on bbc Friday night. Didn’t give a decent reason either
We need this for bass too
@@Bldyiii I agree that’s the one major omission but they’ve done the same with the top of the range Tonemaster Pro too. I have that and bass amps are coming for that soon so hopefully this will get the same treatment in a future update
@@johnoakleymusic RN I’m using the “preamp” settings for a Squire P bass with Headphones. Honestly, it sounds incredible for the value.
@@Bldyiii I suggested this to somebody else but they wouldn’t have it
@@johnoakleymusic it’s a reasonable practice set up for under $500 in an apartment building. Plug and play with a nice set of headphones. Im gonna go to a music store to hear more legitimate bass pickups through the amp.
Can’t wait for the tour next year ❤
@@nicolajunecowan2962 yep me too. Gonna be awesome 🎸🤘🎉🎊😊🔥
I bet this tour was in the making for years
@@ashleyslater6263 yeah I suspect so. Has to work around their albums and other commitments etc. busy people
idk.. i think it's a quick cash grab from a joke that went too far. during mcbusted they were all friends and banter so i'm not buying this, literally.
@@charlotted1321 it’s not serious
@@charlotted1321 yeah it’s all theatre but fun to play along for a bit. Great people in these bands. Nice they don’t take themselves too seriously and have some personality unlike many stars
@@ashleyslater6263 I know it's all jokes but maybe it's not my humour. It's it like only half of mcfly got the memo, this is beyond Tom and Danny I fear. Danny has been nowhere to be seen with the promo. I'm an avid mcfly fan as you can tell so just a bit thrown off. Take no notice.
Werent these the guys in the movie "just my luck"? With lindsay lohan and chris pine? Great movie great band
@@MissKitten-gt4zb I don’t know, maybe 🤔 interesting though. I’ll have to find out now you’ve sown that seed 🤘🤣😂
Wonder if it'll be HELL IN A CELL/ELIMINATION CHAMBER OR TLC MATCH?

I uploaded some sounds from rory gallagher, deep purple and def leppard 😁
@@CE-22 good artists to share patches for thanks 🙏🏻 👍🏻
te amo natalie😍
How are the preset for Worship? I intend to use micro plus for worship song practice, not sure if it has good tones presets. I dont wanna spend tweaking presets, I just want to play.
@@abd-ix5qd I’d argue it’s perfect for ambient style stuff, the reverbs are nice and spacious and the delays (especially the stereo) are awesome. Got some great amps too. There’s a lot of versatility in this and it’s soooo easy to use it’s crazy. I think you’d enjoy it
@@johnoakleymusic Thanks.. I am familiar into creating tones so the presets would be my bestfriend for now. Fender should have added drums.
@@abd-ix5qd yeah some beats to play along to would be nice but you can stream Bluetooth so TH-cam videos for instance or backing tracks from your phone 👍🏻
@@abd-ix5qd im sure they are saving that for the fender micro plus II
The download doesn’t work well for me, it just clears a empty preset completely
@@philiptnt that’s weird. Which one? I’ve tried it on a mates and they all work.
@@johnoakleymusic not yours, haven’t tried those, just in general, I go on the app and try to download a preset and it doesn’t work, as I said it just completely wipes an empty preset
@@philiptnt weird, is it connected all fine and you can tweak your own presets? have you tried the audition button on a cloud patch instead of the download button? I think I had some issues one day last week and had to audition then click save rather than download. Probably early release bugs that'll be ironed out buddy
@@johnoakleymusic your presets work correctly in audition mode but every time I try to download them the app becomes stalled and unresponsive ( spinning "hourglass" or whatever it's called) . Tried several other ones from the tone cloud and they download with no issue. Let's wait for the versions / firmware upgrades. Nevertheless, awesome job, thank's for sharing.
@@ricardosimao1393 just buggy I’d assume and give it a few weeks I’m sure they’ll sort it all out. Been really good with the Tonemaster Pro updates so I have full confidence in that they’ll do this product equally as well
I figured out the knob reset thing by accident 2nd day I had it. Be nice if say 3 or 4 taps reset all the knobs, but its still a nice thing I use all the time. Doesn't seem to work on the TMP oddly.
@@bub2010 yeah would be nice and easy to implement onto the TMP too. I adore the TMP but this is so handy for just grab and go use. Such a brilliant product for the budget end of the market. I like the idea of being able to change it to toggle between where we had it and reset though rather than just a reset as a second double tap doesn’t go back to where we had it. Would be helpful for side by side parameter comparisons. Or a long press for extra functionality. I’d like the TMP feature that allows you to save your default pedal setups on the MM+ as well. That’s a great help on the TMP
I'm sorry TUNE your guitar. There's nothing more disappointing than one of these detailed videos going well, and when a guitar is finally played, IT'S OUT OF TUNE ! How are we to believe any opinions if the guitar can't even be properly tuned. Perhaps the strings are being pressed to hard.
Nothing worse than someone trying to elevate them selves the comments of a guitar video by pointing out and out of tune guitar after the fact to try and elevate themselves. Even with an out of tune guitar you get the idea how these things sound. Don’t be a dick to folk. It doesn’t make you appear smarter it makes you look pathetic.
@@ThuderDuck OOF......They walked into that one. 🤣🤣
Where are the rest 😂 5 isn't enough. She's electric, Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory, Stand By Me....
@@rgrtha7179 morning glory is the first one! Yeah it was an impossible task getting it down to 5 to be fair. What’s your fave?
That guitar is sooooooo beautiful
@@JamesPartridge-u5y Thankyou but which one? I played 5 in the video? You got a fender micro plus?
@@johnoakleymusic The PRS
@@JamesPartridge-u5y thanks. If you mean the intro and ultimate lead patch demo guitar then that’s my Violet Blueburst Custom 22 core model. I adore it. Plays perfectly for me. On the AC/DC style crunch patch demo it was my Charcoal Blueburst McCarty 594. The finish is amazing on that one. Proper eye candy. I’m a lucky boy to be fair. What’s your main axe? To be fair some of my fave guitars are cheaper ones. I have squiers and Epiphones too
@@johnoakleymusic I have Gibson Classic Les Paul, PRS S2 McCarthy, Gibson SG, some more, but my favorite to play on is my Ibanez RG 550
@@JamesPartridge-u5y nice selection there! How do you find your S2 McCarty? I find them a really comfortable shape to play especially on the arm carve on top of the body for the strumming hand. Interesting about the RG. Are you a shredder or just find it fits your ergonomics well?
Great video man! Can you please make a shootout between Fender Micro Plus and Nux Mighty Plug Pro. I think that would be an epic comparison
@@user-oc9el9rs8k I don’t have or know anybody with a nux mighty plug pro but I’ll certainly look into getting hold of one. You got one of those?
Fantastic
@@ryangeronimo509 thanks buddy. You got one yet? Getting one?
That was a fantastic demo of the interfaces! 100% Fender win for ease of use. But you actually convinced me to wait a few more months and hope Boss re-releases the Go or a "Go2" so I can compare them. I thought the Go sounded a little better, and while won't choose based on a TH-cam demo, it's enough to make hold out. At least until Christmas. I need 4 or 5 good sounds total in a headphone amp, and I don't want buyer's remorse that I chose the one that's more fun to play with but less fun to play through... I'll just suffer along with my neolithic tube amps for a bit longer.
@@Toddler1967 thanks buddy. Yeah both companies have their pros and cons but when they’re basically both brilliant in tone (you’ll see what I mean after tomorrows video) then the UI is the differentiator. Just makes life easier without sacrificing anything. Problem with waiting for a boss mk2 is how long until it appears? It’s the how long is a piece of string thing. In the meantime you could be having fun with the micro plus. Anyway, thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment. 👍🏻🙏🏻🎸🤘
Im sure its just a matter of dialing in your sound. The katana has better effects options. the mustang has better amp options. Im sure you can get equally great sounds out of either though, honestly. plus, its only $120.
I got my fender micro plus last weekend and wow, it’s incredible the tones that this thing can create, Even the factory presets sound amazing. I wish that the boss katana go was still around because I have a boss katana 50 mk2 at home and would love to have a quiet and portable version of that on hand. Overall I would say the fender micro plus wins because the app is easy to use and reliable.

I just bought the Fender Micro Plus and I love it. The Boss Katana GO was good, but there is a difference in the projection of both and I prefer the Fender, not because I bought one recently, but there is definitely a diiference in sounds between the two. Now, can you tweak and modify to make the Boss sound similar or better, sure. I think they are both great devices, but I have to tell you, I'm loving my Fender Micrco Plus. It is just amazing. The interface with my iPhone is outstanding.
This! This is what I'm saying in the vid. The Katana Go is a great product and I raved about it when it was released BUT I think the Fender has won the hearts of many and im still in shock they kept the price sensible when they easily could've upped these to £160 and people would've still bought them. Ease of use combined with quality sound and sensible money makes a winning package. What's not to love?
It just needs a better octaver pedal. I would love to be able to play bass parts on my guitar without that synth sound.
@@Nerotique I know what you mean but I’m sure they’ll issue updates to improve it even more over time like they have with the Tonemaster Pro (which is amazing by the way)
I'm confused. The Boss Katana Go was suddenly discontinued a month or so ago. You can only get it used.
yep but theyre still selling used for the same as new prices so its still being bought by people when they can now look at a decent alternative. I knew a few people looking at paying over the new price for a Katana Go so now they can make a better informed decision. Just trying to help people buddy
@@johnoakleymusic Hey Buddy. Just pointing out a critical point that you failed to mention.
Boss says they're having a hard time getting a critical component. I'm wondering if fender bought up all of said component to make theirs. Regardless boss said they're going to reconfigure the katana go and re-release it soon.
@@travismiller7679 hopefully with extra power and features etc. Better app would be number one for me 👍🏻🎸🤘
@@frankfarklesberry Boss discontinued the Katana Go, seems like a pretty damned important thing to include in the video.
boss katana go, it has more blocks than fender and tonality compared to fender is awesome.
@@soumikdas2009 may be more blocks but if it’s a pain to set up and takes forever and lots of menu deep diving plus isn’t intuitive it makes the process less enjoyable and takes playing time away. I’m not saying it’s rubbish at all, I have one and like it a lot
Fender is Better now
@@elvismemphisgs I agree buddy. It’s an awesome piece of kit
Just got them + it's Brilliant
@@elvismemphisgs yep it’s an absolute must have item in my opinion and crazy money for what it can do. What guitar do you play?
Sounds like Ricky Gervais😊
I’ve been told that so many times. Shame I don’t have his bank balance 🤣😂
Nice video. Good comparison with Katana Go. I am from India. I already have Fender Mustang Micro and Blackstar Fly. Remembering and cycling through the colors of mustang micro was a pain. However I loved the new app based interface bundled with Micro plus. My buddy is travelling down from NY to Blore. I asked him to pick this up from the website. He will be reaching in a week. I am so chuffed and looking forward for hours long practice sessions and direct video recording on my phone. Great product by fender.
@@kiranrao6555 yeah it’s a great product. Hope you enjoy yours. It’s brilliant for the money. Thanks for watching buddy. 🤘🎸👍🏻
I enjoyed this immensely. I have the original mustang micro and when the boss came out I got that too. I love them both but for different reasons. I just knew fender would do this so I’m mentally prepared to buy one. Your review has just confirmed it 👍🏻
Nice one. I have a feeling it's just gonna improve too with firmware. New vid coming in the next week regarding some hidden tips and features on this unit. Thanks for watching buddy
Best in depth review on youtube m8! subbed
@@TheKnutselaar thanks buddy that’s very kind
The micro plus is the best thing since sliced bread. Period.
@@TheKnutselaar it is outstanding and crazy for the money in an industry that likes to take advantage of our addiction 🤣😂
Indeed, the features are crazy for the money and the best feature is that it makes you grab your guitar more. Would be nice if it supported midi over usb so you van use a midi stompbox to switch presets
@@TheKnutselaar well keep your eyes peeled as I’m gonna be doing a video about two secret tips that nobody knows about on the mustang micro plus 👍🏻🤘
I was about to bite the bullet on the Katana Go as I'd outgrown my original NUX Mighty Plug. Then of course it went AWOL due to the parts issue. Obviously the tones are key but here's my penny worth. What could be a clincher is the ease of use. The Fender more graphical interface looks a lot more user friendly particularly for newbies. However, the Boss community is huge and people have a lot of faith in Boss effects and you can do things like twin delays. Ultimately, you'd like to think that the Micro Plus will force Boss to pull their fingers out and release a Go Mark 2 as soon as possible with maybe some little tweaks. The issue with the parts is a curious one and is it the whole truth? It was flying off the shelves so maybe Boss thought they may have under priced it? Was the timing of it's release in any way effecting sales of the Gen 3 Katana combos?
some good points there. I suspect a mk2 will arrive next summer as will take a while to redesign plus put into production and they surely wont be stupid enough to not add features or improve upon it at the same time? May as well. I also suspect the Fender will get better with firmware just like the TMP has massive since its release. The User Interface is amazing. I think there's a massive case for the argument of who doesnt want it to be easy to use? Not just newbies. Great sound is also a huge factor to me and this has it. I think there'll be more options open up in the near future for the freedom to place a compressor in a different slot for instance as at the moment its in the same grouping as a chorus pedal so that'll have to change to allow chorus and compressor at the same time. It was weird that they had a parts shortage so quickly after release when they were selling so well like you say. Big mistake on somebody's part in the company. Thanks for watching. You gonna wait for a KatGo2 or go for the Fender then?
Wait for Kat2go to see how they've countered Fender's offering. Might they revise the interface as that's it's the Achilles heel
