Dear Tony, it’s hard these days to find such an in depth gear review. Aside from the device, your work is thorough. As someone has commented, you don’t let yourself influence but those pill-like, five-minute gear reviews; instead, you dive deep into every detail that should be considered. I am not a TH-camr, but I know how much editing videos can take; an hour long edited video must have taken at least 7-10 hours of work; and it seems you have done it for free. Thank you very much. Besides, I can see that you take care of your audience, since almost every comment has your answer. Greetings from Spain
Juan what a nice post - thank you it's appreciated. I have always tried hard to show the gear in ways others never do. It takes on average for a 1 hour video about a week off and on but the time is extensive for sure. Some don't realize the time factor. I just completed a 2 hour FM3 review that took me three weeks!. Some will tell me its biased etc. but it was the truth of what I found. That's got to be the ONLY way to review gear. Juan thanks.
I've never seen a review going this deep in to all the specs and little details of a product. This was an outstanding performance of hard work and dedication, to put out the absolute best and throughout review, to give the viewer the best possible idea of what type of product they're looking at. Thank you for all the work that you put into the review. Truly outstanding!
Well thank you for those kind words. Most of my equipment reviews are the same and I have been doing that since 2009. YT is hard these datsand I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks for watching.
Yes, Tony, your reviews are wildly entertaining and informative. I would guess that your audience is possibly a bit older, since it takes a longer attention span to sit down and evaluate the innards of an electronic device for over an hour. For those of us who can stick with you it's a joy. Thank you so much!!!
I've watched many YT reviews about this amp and yours is very informative and thorough. Thanks for showing the inards discussing the processors, etc. I think this little device has great features and offers lots of bang for the buck. I've ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive along with my new guitar. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for taking the time to "Cover all the Bases". Thorough and informative review. Just what I need to help me decide if I want it or not. I'm definitely subscribing for more informative reviews. Cheers!
If something like this existed back in the mid 60's when I started playing (no price could have even been put on it.) This new modelling technology is amazing across the board (budget boxes included.) I'm a Headrush user but honestly could use any of the latest products and be completely happy, as they all sound astonishingly good and offer so many great features. That being said and price not being a factor, I believe personally I would prefer the NUX over the THR30.
Thanks David for that opinion which goes to make a great post. I have seen the Mighty Space compared to Spark, but to be honest, after my experiences with that company, Spark (for me) would be the last company I would consider. The Yamaha THR30 II seemed a better reference too and because Yamaha are generally pretty OK I think it was a good comparison, not item for item of course, but overall the NUX did offer more. You're right most of this stuff is improving and each year there is a demonstrable step towards the perfect 'tube tone'. I still love the tube amps better personally, but I know what you mean. I come from end of 60's and my lot was a book from Happy and Artie Traum with a 7 inch flexi disk and that was my singular learning tool for the Pentatonic... and those that could play guarded their 'knowledge' and NEVER shared it with minions like me. This device would have been literally made in heaven. Thanks for the post and for watching.
Thanks for those kind words... and yes I still have my Mighty Space amp... and I think a very good deal for what you pay... the wireless was the cream on the cake for me. Thanks for watching and the sub support.
I really liked the NUX Mighty Space amp its a great price and there was nothing I found that had been compromised really... overall I think this one can do what its intended for. Thanks.
Its a really good little unit and included the wireless. I liked it and it can get pretty loud if you want it to but the wireless worked great... Ha I had it plugged in to the wah on the floor and it was great. Thanks for watching.
The Yamaha THR30 is awesome for what it is but I got it about 4 months ago. Just got the wireless I ordered back then @ a $100 US. It travels well but wouldn't work with the NUX without putting a pedal between them. Thank you. I would love to try the NUX amp and compare.
Thanks for the opinion on the Yamaha THR30 which is a good contender and comparison in many ways I think too. You're right, each has its own thing going on but the wireless 'extra' charge was one of the things that made me choose the NUX Mighty Space because of overall value for the money also. Tones from both are great. Thanks for watching and have a happy new year.
Thanks for the kind words... they call me lots of things actually... depending on if someone likes the review or dislikes what I showed... thanks for the sub and for watching...
Great to see and hear you again - and the PRS seemed to inspire some tasty playing!! Have a great New Year, knowing that you have offered us a lot of fine reviews that help us understand the innards of our equipment. Owld ang zine!!!
:) Yes I was busy with business at work then had to go to Dallas on business. This NUX unit arrived before I left for Dallas so all the reviews I have to complete stopped. Then I picked up cov** (I think it was that eventually) and that stopped me... now Christmas... but honestly I always feel obliged to create videos. Mine are often hard to do re time (and money most the time) but I'm on them. Another one tonight on the fitting of a logo and tuners on the Telecaster (I now refer to it as a 'Tonycaster' :) so I can then make the H90 review which will probably be pretty long. Good to hear you too @aipsong and have a great new year.
Glad you like the videos. I have not completed the HX Stomp... but might well at some stage. Subscribe Christian then you'll be notified of when I make the new videos - I have some good stuff coming up. Eventide H90 next up... and thanks for watching and the post.
Appreciate the extensive review, thanks! Mighty Space $600CAD (pricey) in Canada a little less than THR30II. The new Boss Dual Cube LX is about the same price when you add their aftermarket bluetooth module and footswitch in but has no drums and a less useful app. Not sure I like the built-in Lion batteries here, after 3 years they're worn out. The Dual Cube has external batteries, seems a safer option. IMO, the Kat100 head still competes as the more practical amp overall. (If you add in A Super-Thanks I could tip you for your effort.)
:) Firstly thanks I don't need the tip :) And thanks for the post as you raise some interesting points re other competitive gear. And that is ALWAYS a good thing to do. I did try and include everything I could which made for a long video, but hopefully many will learn something at least about the Mighty Space that otherwise might well not have been covered. A good post so you got the heart :) but no tip is needed. Thanks for watching.
Best review I've seen on one of these! I may get one of these, just to keep in the living room. I wish they made stuff like this when I was just starting out.
Oh yes I agree - back in the day it was much harder work really. A really cool practice tool I think and the bonus of the wireless makes it really cool. Thanks for watching.
Your comparison of the Yamaha vs this was the Nux comes with wireless. You need to compare better than that. Which sounds better which one has better effects, distortion, etc etc
Well te issue of which one sounds better is as you know subjective. I covered the effects and amps etc throughout both videos, but as far as the tones, I played both units and its really up to you to decide what YOU like best. Having to pay £90-100 for a wireless certainly IS important to most guys and its important to me to show things like that. Thanks for the post - I certainly take on board the comments and thanks for watching...
@@tonymckenzieofficial I agree with the comment that you need to better compare tones. It’s not possible based on watching a video to get what you hear in the room. How clear is the sound and stereo effect from the speakers? It sounded to me like the Nux may have digital sound artifacts that I haven’t heard in the THR, did you hear that? Looking at the parts is useful, but how well does it actually work?
I purchased a Mighty Space via Reverb direct from Hong Kong (I think) at a great price, and am absolutely delighted with it, except that I would give it at least a 12 and maybe even a 15, in contrast to Tony. It really is an all-in-one package (the THR-30 doesn't have OD/Distortion AFAIK) and the effects are very, very good indeed IMO.... Well Done, NUX!!! And very tasty playing by Tony!!
Ha I was not taught to count above 10 - its why I'm relatively poor :) But thanks for this post and that's great to hear. I like it too. Oh my playing was not dynamic, but I never once played to those tracks before turning them on to record... so just a jam really. Anyway, thanks for posting what you think about the Mighty Space unit otherwise some might think I was somehow biased and that was just about as far from the truth as could be. I really spared no opinion whether positive or negative. On an upcoming review of the Eventide H90 I also tell it the way I found it and some of that review I'm sure some won't like, but I always tell it like what I see. Thanks again and have a great new year.
Excellent Review! Thank you. As Im shopping around for my 1st practice Amp... Do you recommend this over the Yamaha THR30II Wireless 30W 2x3 Guitar Combo Amp ?
It will be interesting to wait and see what the street price will be if/when you can buy one here in the UK. At current exchange rates they are asking around £400 plus shipping VAT and import duty to buy one. That to my mind is just too much. I already have more amps than i realy need, some of them are the original ones that this is trying to emulate. So as usual i will wait for the demand to drop and see what price drops to next year. Thanks for your excellent in depth review Tony.
Well waiting a while to get one at better pricing is not silly, I have bought many items like that and even just a few months after a launch you can get good deals. This one I liked because it seems to offer much for a pretty reasonable price and it had that longer life battery in there. The import taxes are horrible as I'm sure you know, and I see those coming in for example from Warmoth - about $100 shipping PLUS the 20% tax makes it all hard work really. Good point. Thanks for watching - appreciated.
@@tonymckenzieofficial New gear is always going to be expensive until demand drops. It will be interesting to see what the UK dealer prices are when they have any stock. We always seem to have to wait at least 6 to 12 months before it arrives in the UK. By which time the new model is released.
Britannia Stadium or Vale Park Tony? These NUX Mighty Space are the first to offer the wireless adapter, it's a nice touch an the foot pedal the 2 cables is better than having a purpose made one that would cost a fortune to replace. If i were in for a practice Amp i would consider this unit. I have the Yamaha and the Spark already. It's a shame Spark got there's out first because this may have eaten into those massive profits Positive Grid has made. I wonder if this unit will affect their sales? A fantastic review, they don't get more thorough than this. Thanks Tony.
Ha neither... I'm no football fan. Yes I really liked the Mighty Space and Cherub (NUX) did a great job... and I loved the wireless TX of course - it was flawless. The Yamaha was good no doubt but it lost out with no wireless and the cost of that 'add on'. I tried to buy a Positive Grid item but after no delivery I got a refund. Seemed a bit dodgy to me. Thanks for the info and post - these are always useful and offer different views than just mine. Thanks for watching.
Hi ! Please note that, the Yamaha THR 30ii comes with the wireless transmitter built in…only THR 10 doesn’t have it ! I think you should review that in order to be fair in the comparison
Yamaha THR30II comes with wireless receiver, not transmitter. You have to buy Line6 GT10 transmitter separately. NUX Mighty Space comes with transmitter bundled.
Great review, really appreciate your efforts to produce this. It's good to know the build quality. Can I ask if you have tried this as an amp head, turned off the IR and used the speaker out into a cab? Does it sound better compared to the mini speakers?
loved the video Tony l like that its portable with good battery life also the added extras if NUX Mighty Space Amplifier can make this work and add in the remote what the hell are Yamaha doing ,,,,, hope you are much better
Yes the wireless omission on the THR30 MK II I did not understand and at the price it was IMO was an omission one too far. The Mighty Space worked flawlessly on the wireless too and was set up as I showed just before the playing. Yes the lurgy has now gone :) and I'm making some more reviews today and probably all week at this rate. Regards...
Good review, as usual. I'd still like to know what you personally think about the basic sound of the unit compared to the Yamaha. One would imagine NuX have designed it to sound better, before one gets into all the myriad bells and whistles. Happy New Year!
@@RByrne I think you're correct. Only this was an in depth analysis of the product, which is an amplifier, but, there wasn't much said about the sound. It's got bigger speakers than the Yamaha 30, so it should sound bigger and with more bass, but is it a clear and polished as the Yamaha? I know this can be subjective, but as Tony has reviewed both of them it would be interesting to know his impression of the sound. Like, this NuX is on a par with the Yamaha, in my opinion, that's all. I just thought it was a bit odd.
Well the sounds were good on both the Yamaha and the NUX Mighty Space. The IR's are often key to the tones we hear and some of those are loadable so there was little relating to sound differences. I did touch on the external speaker though and that certainly will change the tones - disable the IR and plug in your fave speaker cab, and it then sounds louder too. Both of those units have their own thing going on of course, but I think the tones these days on devices of similarity are moved sideways a little because they are all generally good. I agree I did spend a long time covering so many points, but those differences start to add up and should be taken in to consideration along with the tones as well. This unit and the Yamaha unit are both very good devices no doubt in my mind at all, and both performed pretty flawlessly. There are other video reviews that show more playing than I showed I can tell you so if its only the tones that are important (that is a choice) then you can see those on YT. I always try and show literally plugged in and go tones because in many instances for buyers that is exactly what they will do. My other points really enhance the review by trying to show the stuff others never do. For example I found it very interesting that the chip for output actually supports up to 50 watts - something that was not disclosed in any review. You 'might' even be able to get that output (I did not try it) with a 2 ohm load on the speaker output... and of course if you can I have not really seen that on other devices. At least, my aim is always to offer information that allows potential buyers to make as near as they can an informed decision, which in general (even for me) is often lacking from the info available in the first place. It's all a bit complex to make this sort of video, the time factor is often a major problem, but I would ALWAYS prefer to make a video review like mine with as much info as I can muster, rather than a 10 minute video of just playing really. This video took literally a week to make and is really for all the 'inside and out' reviews I complete basically the same for all the equipment I look at. Hope it helps a bit on why I create these like this. And hey you too have a great new year too and if you're USA or Canada hope you missed the weather there... it all looked really bad.
@@tonymckenzieofficial Thanks for the detailed reply. NuX products do look like god value. They have an aggressive pricing policy because they are determined to stablish the brand's identity in crowded marketplace. Spark is cheaper but doesn't, I think, really challenge the Yamaha, which is the benchmark, soundwis, which is why I curious about how the NuX sounded. It'll be interesting to see what Yamaha comes up with next, now that so many competitors are after their crown. Good to see you well again. Hav a happy and prosperous New Year!
Well thank you very much. I have literally hundreds of inside and out reviews just like this one on my channel covering amps, effects, simulators, even guitars so do check it and don't forget tonymckenzie.com as I have lots of reviews on there too - some of which are not on TH-cam... thanks
very very thorough review. May I ask you (or anyone) how would you compare it to Positive Grid's Spark Amp? what's better? what's worse? will much appreciate your thoughts! Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching. There are other reviews on YT that compare the two. Personally I cancelled my order with Grid because of non delivery some while back and so I never did buy a Spark. As I recently completed the Yamaha THR30 MK II I did feel that was a 'better fit' as a comparison, quality equipment from quality companies and sincerely the Mighty Space won because mainly the value of the unit in comparison overall. Hope it helps and thanks for the post.
@@tonymckenzieofficial Hi Tony. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me! I hear you and I understand. I actually do have the Spark Amp, it's not bad at all. I did see one video you made a while ago about how they made you pay for something they didn't have, so I totally get it. I actually did buy the Nux Mighty Space as well, didn't get it yet. Looking forward to it, I feel it's going to be better than the Spark, that's why I had asked. Thanks again!
Excellent and thorough review of the Mighty Space. You have an excellent grasp of the electronics plus are a very good guitarist. A rare combination of knowledge and skills. Glad I found your video. Have a great New Year
Actually take a look at the EQ section that I showed on the screens section of the editor. You will note that I had 'backed off' the bass as it was too much for my own liking. The speakers I believe are bigger than the THR30 II also. Don't forget that also there is the possibility of an external speaker that also can change things quite dramatically if that's a preferred option to the IR changes that could be adopted. Sounded OK to me, but it is subjective I guess. I tried hard to get those speakers out but failed... Great point that you posted and thanks for watching. Have a great new year too.
I tried to buy off that company once... but they did not deliver so I had a refund. Sorry I can't advise from my own experience.... but thanks for watching.
Sadly I don't buy Spark products because I waited months after paying 'up front' one time. There's none of that with the NUX gear. So sorry I can't advise on the Spark. Thanks for watching.
Hey buddy you are now my go to for reviewing gear. Absolutely great job without all the BS! Question though, will the wireless transmitter work with active pickups? I use fishman moderns
Yes it will I have Fishman here too. Really appreciate the comment and I always try to create videos that others never do... The Mighty Space amp is one of those gems that unless you try one then often they get passed by but they deserve much better. I really liked this one, and NUX have done a good job on the stuff I have seen. Thanks for the post and thanks for watching.
Wah can be external of course, but the expression control is not there. It's not really a deal breaker though (for some) and the unit reviewed is still being used here - and I'm a fanatical wah guy :). Thanks for watching.
Well yours might be 'great' but mine? Well I would describe it as supplied as a car wreck. Don't believe me? No problem heres the video proof: th-cam.com/video/2gDvEqH3VD8/w-d-xo.html and what I eventually sis with it here: th-cam.com/video/gAiQJxiWyZM/w-d-xo.html and the seller (Thomann) did not care less. They claimed it was checked twice before selling it to me... sadly yhat was simply not true. You got a god one? Bully for you as I won't go back to the Harley Benton guitars. Thanks.

It will be interesting to wait and see what the street price will be if/when you can buy one here in the UK.
At current exchange rates they are asking around £400 plus shipping VAT and import duty to buy one.
That to my mind is just too much.
I already have more amps than i realy need, some of them are the original ones that this is trying to emulate.
So as usual i will wait for the demand to drop and see what price drops to next year.
Thanks for your excellent in depth review Tony.
Well waiting a while to get one at better pricing is not silly, I have bought many items like that and even just a few months after a launch you can get good deals. This one I liked because it seems to offer much for a pretty reasonable price and it had that longer life battery in there. The import taxes are horrible as I'm sure you know, and I see those coming in for example from Warmoth - about $100 shipping PLUS the 20% tax makes it all hard work really. Good point. Thanks for watching - appreciated.
@@tonymckenzieofficial New gear is always going to be expensive until demand drops.
It will be interesting to see what the UK dealer prices are when they have any stock.
We always seem to have to wait at least 6 to 12 months before it arrives in the UK.
By which time the new model is released.
Britannia Stadium or Vale Park Tony? These NUX Mighty Space are the first to offer the wireless adapter, it's a nice touch an the foot pedal the 2 cables is better than having a purpose made one that would cost a fortune to replace. If i were in for a practice Amp i would consider this unit. I have the Yamaha and the Spark already. It's a shame Spark got there's out first because this may have eaten into those massive profits Positive Grid has made. I wonder if this unit will affect their sales? A fantastic review, they don't get more thorough than this. Thanks Tony.
Ha neither... I'm no football fan. Yes I really liked the Mighty Space and Cherub (NUX) did a great job... and I loved the wireless TX of course - it was flawless. The Yamaha was good no doubt but it lost out with no wireless and the cost of that 'add on'. I tried to buy a Positive Grid item but after no delivery I got a refund. Seemed a bit dodgy to me. Thanks for the info and post - these are always useful and offer different views than just mine. Thanks for watching.
Hi ! Please note that, the Yamaha THR 30ii comes with the wireless transmitter built in…only THR 10 doesn’t have it ! I think you should review that in order to be fair in the comparison
Yamaha THR30II comes with wireless receiver, not transmitter. You have to buy Line6 GT10 transmitter separately. NUX Mighty Space comes with transmitter bundled.
Exactly....
Merry xmas hope yours was great , you and the Mrs. have a great New Year.
Yes and the same to you of course... and have a great new year! (Let's face it, it might struggle to be worse!). Thanks for watching too...
Excellent review-Thanks! I didn't see a built in tuner..did you?
I did not see one either! It could be there in other software but nothing I could see. Good point... and thanks for watching.
Great review, really appreciate your efforts to produce this. It's good to know the build quality.
Can I ask if you have tried this as an amp head, turned off the IR and used the speaker out into a cab? Does it sound better compared to the mini speakers?
Not yet! But good point and I'll maybe make another video showing that... and thanks.
loved the video Tony l like that its portable with good battery life also the added extras if NUX Mighty Space Amplifier can make this work and add in the remote what the hell are Yamaha doing ,,,,, hope you are much better
Yes the wireless omission on the THR30 MK II I did not understand and at the price it was IMO was an omission one too far. The Mighty Space worked flawlessly on the wireless too and was set up as I showed just before the playing. Yes the lurgy has now gone :) and I'm making some more reviews today and probably all week at this rate. Regards...
Surface mount electrolytics could bevreplace with tantalum’s if the required voltage ratings aren’t too high.
Thanks for the info... and for watching of course.
Good review, as usual. I'd still like to know what you personally think about the basic sound of the unit compared to the Yamaha. One would imagine NuX have designed it to sound better, before one gets into all the myriad bells and whistles. Happy New Year!
The thing is, feautures look good on paper. It seems most of these at least have a "good" quality sound though, so it's hard to go wrong.
@@RByrne I think you're correct. Only this was an in depth analysis of the product, which is an amplifier, but, there wasn't much said about the sound. It's got bigger speakers than the Yamaha 30, so it should sound bigger and with more bass, but is it a clear and polished as the Yamaha? I know this can be subjective, but as Tony has reviewed both of them it would be interesting to know his impression of the sound. Like, this NuX is on a par with the Yamaha, in my opinion, that's all. I just thought it was a bit odd.
Well the sounds were good on both the Yamaha and the NUX Mighty Space. The IR's are often key to the tones we hear and some of those are loadable so there was little relating to sound differences. I did touch on the external speaker though and that certainly will change the tones - disable the IR and plug in your fave speaker cab, and it then sounds louder too. Both of those units have their own thing going on of course, but I think the tones these days on devices of similarity are moved sideways a little because they are all generally good. I agree I did spend a long time covering so many points, but those differences start to add up and should be taken in to consideration along with the tones as well. This unit and the Yamaha unit are both very good devices no doubt in my mind at all, and both performed pretty flawlessly. There are other video reviews that show more playing than I showed I can tell you so if its only the tones that are important (that is a choice) then you can see those on YT. I always try and show literally plugged in and go tones because in many instances for buyers that is exactly what they will do. My other points really enhance the review by trying to show the stuff others never do. For example I found it very interesting that the chip for output actually supports up to 50 watts - something that was not disclosed in any review. You 'might' even be able to get that output (I did not try it) with a 2 ohm load on the speaker output... and of course if you can I have not really seen that on other devices. At least, my aim is always to offer information that allows potential buyers to make as near as they can an informed decision, which in general (even for me) is often lacking from the info available in the first place. It's all a bit complex to make this sort of video, the time factor is often a major problem, but I would ALWAYS prefer to make a video review like mine with as much info as I can muster, rather than a 10 minute video of just playing really. This video took literally a week to make and is really for all the 'inside and out' reviews I complete basically the same for all the equipment I look at. Hope it helps a bit on why I create these like this. And hey you too have a great new year too and if you're USA or Canada hope you missed the weather there... it all looked really bad.
@@tonymckenzieofficial Thanks for the detailed reply. NuX products do look like god value. They have an aggressive pricing policy because they are determined to stablish the brand's identity in crowded marketplace. Spark is cheaper but doesn't, I think, really challenge the Yamaha, which is the benchmark, soundwis, which is why I curious about how the NuX sounded. It'll be interesting to see what Yamaha comes up with next, now that so many competitors are after their crown. Good to see you well again. Hav a happy and prosperous New Year!
Subbed, you're just too good at what you're doing, for a person not to be subbed 😁 great review👌
Well thank you very much. I have literally hundreds of inside and out reviews just like this one on my channel covering amps, effects, simulators, even guitars so do check it and don't forget tonymckenzie.com as I have lots of reviews on there too - some of which are not on TH-cam... thanks
Thanks awesome 4 review!
Please tell me, can i connect wireless headphones by bluetooth? I have not found any info for this.
To be honest I have NOT tried that, but I'll take a look... good point. And thanks for watching.
Hi ...nice video...but why there's no guitar trasmitter in the box? Only the wireless receiver?
The NUX has the receiver built in to the unit and the transmitter I showed - and that's also included. Thanks.
very very thorough review. May I ask you (or anyone) how would you compare it to Positive Grid's Spark Amp? what's better? what's worse? will much appreciate your thoughts! Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching. There are other reviews on YT that compare the two. Personally I cancelled my order with Grid because of non delivery some while back and so I never did buy a Spark. As I recently completed the Yamaha THR30 MK II I did feel that was a 'better fit' as a comparison, quality equipment from quality companies and sincerely the Mighty Space won because mainly the value of the unit in comparison overall. Hope it helps and thanks for the post.
@@tonymckenzieofficial Hi Tony. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me! I hear you and I understand. I actually do have the Spark Amp, it's not bad at all. I did see one video you made a while ago about how they made you pay for something they didn't have, so I totally get it. I actually did buy the Nux Mighty Space as well, didn't get it yet. Looking forward to it, I feel it's going to be better than the Spark, that's why I had asked. Thanks again!
Excellent and thorough review of the Mighty Space. You have an excellent grasp of the electronics plus are a very good guitarist. A rare combination of knowledge and skills. Glad I found your video. Have a great New Year
Is there really enough bass there? It's hard to believe in such a small speaker.
Actually take a look at the EQ section that I showed on the screens section of the editor. You will note that I had 'backed off' the bass as it was too much for my own liking. The speakers I believe are bigger than the THR30 II also. Don't forget that also there is the possibility of an external speaker that also can change things quite dramatically if that's a preferred option to the IR changes that could be adopted. Sounded OK to me, but it is subjective I guess. I tried hard to get those speakers out but failed... Great point that you posted and thanks for watching. Have a great new year too.
Thanks for review! This or Boss Katana Air?
Both are very good... you have to choose yourself! Thanks.
👏👏👏
It's a very good unit... Thanks...
I wonder how this compares with the Spark40 amp
I tried to buy off that company once... but they did not deliver so I had a refund. Sorry I can't advise from my own experience.... but thanks for watching.
does this lil amp support being connected to the computer and record with it?
I did not connect it but I believe that you can do that... use a DAW and ensure the drivers are installed. Thanks.
How long does the looper record?
I did not check the length of time... sorry.
Hello, do you think that the battery is easy to replace when dead? Easy to find also? Thx!
Well it's possible to do I'm sure but maybe not too easy.
how does it sound compared to the Spark 40 mate?
Sadly I don't buy Spark products because I waited months after paying 'up front' one time. There's none of that with the NUX gear. So sorry I can't advise on the Spark. Thanks for watching.
far better.😁
Not compared directly sadly, but others that have posted will have and I'm sure they will comment... thanks for watching.
Physical tap tempo would have been nice.
That's a good point and did I miss it somewhere... hopefully not.. Thanks for watching too.
Hey buddy you are now my go to for reviewing gear. Absolutely great job without all the BS! Question though, will the wireless transmitter work with active pickups? I use fishman moderns
Yes it will I have Fishman here too. Really appreciate the comment and I always try to create videos that others never do... The Mighty Space amp is one of those gems that unless you try one then often they get passed by but they deserve much better. I really liked this one, and NUX have done a good job on the stuff I have seen. Thanks for the post and thanks for watching.
@@tonymckenzieofficial thanks a bunch, I think I will pick one up. Hard to find in the UK at the moment
Can you tell me which frequency does the wireless system work on 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz?
2.4
it is the perfect amplifier for home
Yes I like it too - and the thing for me was the included wi-fi tx. Thanks for watching.
Pity it doesn’t have Wah/expression pedal option.
Wah can be external of course, but the expression control is not there. It's not really a deal breaker though (for some) and the unit reviewed is still being used here - and I'm a fanatical wah guy :). Thanks for watching.
He must been high af doing this review
Really... nah its not that... it's just you never saw a REAL review before... ;-) Thanks for watching.
anyone know the looper length of time on this unit NUX? thanks
I probably covered it in the video...
Why the Harley Benton hate? I've got a few of their guitars and their pedal power bank and they are all great.
Well yours might be 'great' but mine? Well I would describe it as supplied as a car wreck. Don't believe me? No problem heres the video proof: th-cam.com/video/2gDvEqH3VD8/w-d-xo.html and what I eventually sis with it here: th-cam.com/video/gAiQJxiWyZM/w-d-xo.html and the seller (Thomann) did not care less. They claimed it was checked twice before selling it to me... sadly yhat was simply not true. You got a god one? Bully for you as I won't go back to the Harley Benton guitars. Thanks.
Wow! that's a lot off information!
Very!
Too expensive for such a brand
Well it's not that bad, and for what you get including the wireless I thought it was good value. Thanks for watching.
Clearly no built in tuner 😂
So?
The app has a tuner inside, at least as of june’24
Lol at can of strongbow. Great review!!
:) intentional :) Thanks for watching.
Is there a looper?
Indeed there is and the unit includes the foot controller as standard!: Drum & Loop with included NMP-2 Lite footswitch control Thanks for watching.
A very serious review i like this way of view. Than you a lot for the very nice job🙏👍😏
Glad you liked it! and thanks for watching. I have many more similar on my channel. Thanks.
Yes i see them too 👍🙏😏
