I am an over the road truck driver. I have limited space, this amp is perfect and amazing. The amps and effects are really cool and great for any genre.
How cool that you can take your guitar with you on the road. Might be nice to decompress after a long day.
Battery powered why not recharging, hello.
Great review guys. This is the golden age of guitar gear. I am so glad I started learning playing 5 months ago.
It may be the only thing that will save music is that people, once again, began to learn to play instruments like they once did prior to there being an internet to distract them.
wtf are you talking about@@le_th_
It would have been nice if you had the models and effects listed in a caption as you went through them. I know some were obvious, but the curiosity is still there.
This!
Finally something for players living in apartments :D
Yes to this comment!
Living our best life
Excellent review, no over playing, just really good playing allowing viewers to get a real true feel of the sound, and man this thing does sound real good!!! . Thank You.
Got one in the mail this past weekend. Love that I can practice whereever, whenever I feel like not being tethered to an amplifier. It also takes pedals well, so now I can play around with those, too.
Do you just connect it at the end of the signal?
That lightened up the day! Thanks to Cooper and Chris, and the helpful crew at Alamo Music Center. Man, the future's so bright!
Great video Chris, I got my Mustang micro mini about a month ago and I play with it at least 2 to 3 times a week if not more it is hands-down the most awesome thing fenders come up with in a long time it is rejuvenated my electric guitar playing experience i used to have a Vox amplug the metal one that is now completely obsolete in fact I’m going to be giving it away to one of my former students I have no use for it anymore, this mustang micro mini also works really well with pedals i use a Boss PowerStack with it to boost the clean channels just to give me a little more variety you can even go into a powered speaker cabinet or I have even put it into my Bose L1 system and played through that, I wish this came out right when the pandemic started great video guys keep up the good work
It sounds incredible! My only hesitation is you think there would be a BT interface APP where you can see what modes, amp and effects are available or you are using. I’m not a tech guy but I would think that it is very doable in that size considering what is done today technically and electronically. But maybe I’m missing something or is that to come in a different maybe pricier model which would be worth the dollars and the wait. Other than that as usual you guys did another great review. All that being said I’m about to get one ASAP!
This is so cool. I've just managed to order an ex display one that was in stock online through a UK shop. Honestly can't wait to try this! Thanks for the review guys! Much love from Scotland
Cool. Looks like a fabulous option for those of us who are interested in simple solutions! Thanks for the review and demo!
Great run through! I've recently bought the Mustang Micro and I've had the Vox Amplug2 Classic Rock for awhile and enjoy both of them. As you'd expect the Fender amps are amazing in the Micro and I hang out on the two Deluxe amps (Clean and Greenbox) all the time. My neck P-Rail's Rail coil and the stock SE bridge HB sound awesome with all the amps in the Micro, but with no Gain control the P-90 coil and the P-Rail HB can over power the Gain amps in the Micro. The great Fender tones are why I bought the Micro and I'm very happy with it. As for Gain I'll take my Vox Classic Rock with the Gain control separate from the Volume.
This thing works with AirPod maxs with the connected 3.5mm to lightning cable. All the modes work (noise canceling, transparency), dial raises/lowers the volume. Audio quality was great. The whole package is worth it. Loves all amps and effects. Didn’t feel like it was missing much. Boss katana go was discontinued so Fender needs to capitalize on this device now. I’d say this was the best buy of the year.
Very nice review! I've watched other review regarding this but you guys nailed it! Thanks
Thank you for this video! It convinced me to give this a shot after researching battery powered amp options and it’s perfect!
Just ordered mine today, Always finding myself wanting to play guitar at the most unsociable hours. Granted I could stick some headphones into the guitar amp, but I like that I can connect to the PC/Phone/Tablet with bluetooth for something to play along with. Pure convenience.
Great info as always. Thank you 🙏. I just purchased (today!) a new Tidepool Fender Player Strat HSS and one of these was thrown in free as a Fender special offer. Sounds like I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this. 🤓👍
You have created a monster. For decades, I’ve had a Les Paul copy Swedish Hagstrom languishing in my closet. I just spent an hour revisiting my misspent youth... it sounds awesome. Great fun!
Just got mine from you guys in today’s mail.
That strat is freaking pretty, too!
I just ordered one, sounds good! Excellent review, maybe could use a caption with settings used.. 👍👍
Wow. What a musician that young fella is! Nice guitar also..❤️❤️
I love this Mustang Micro, I picked one up and its so stunning. Had the Vox AC30 version too but this is a little more versatile. I love it for browsing and playing guitars in the store, so easy to hop from one electric to another and be able to simply focus on the guitar and your playing of it within the store
Amplug2 AC30 still have some more... analog sound
Superb use, indeed. Instead of having to find an amp, plug in, and be distracted by other people, and things in the store…✨
Wow, I never considered that.
I bought the vox clean first. I wish I had purchased this one. : )
Been playing for about 35 years so I remember when practice amps were basically sh1t in a box.
Now I use a small 4W, home grown, 5F2 thingy I made with an audio valve from an old TV set, a Line6 Amplifi TT, and a recently purchased Spark 40 (which is great BTW, get one!). Years ago I bought a Vox Amplug (the AC30 version) and back then I thought the idea was good but the result was also pretty sh1t, especially coming from a company such as Vox.
Last week my Fender Mustang Micro was delivered. The quality of the sound is incredible! Where I used to only practice on weekends, now I find myself grabbing a guitar at anytime during the day, when I maybe have 10 minutes or sometines less - its really that convenient!
If you were deceived by those Amplugs, or if you loved them, this plug-in amp from Fender is the real deal and will blow you away. Its loads of fun and highly recommended!
Thanks for posting this video, it was really helpful!
The 2nd video of yours I watched (the first was on the cheaper vs. expensive Yamaha acoustics), and now I‘m subbed! Great content on this channel, and very well presented. Thanks for turning me onto this new device. Should be perfect for adding some electric guitar to my otherwise acoustic set, playing straight through a HK Polar 10 column speaker. Hope I can beam the audio straight to the Bluetooth channel on that speaker. If not, I‘ll just run a cable. Will hit „Buy“ as soon as it becomes available over here in Germany.
My mini amp will arrive in a couple of days. I'm pretty excited.
I agree got one for travelling and when I have to vacate the living room… really amazing thing
Super cool! Thanks for the info 🎸
I want that guitar! I’m all acoustic player and love this.
really happy with this this amp, it has great tone and also makes a great portable amp as I can easliy hook it up to a small jbl speaker and take it anywhere
Fantastic review, thanks! I am going to get this for all the stated reasons + it is not overbearing. The Boss GT (mini Katana, I guess) has far too many options for a beginner and it relies too much on interaction with a phone/computer. This has enough variety and is self-sufficient. I have a Blackstar HT5 II with gain channel that I really like. The Fender should be modelling Fender clean better than anyone else's product.
I had my Mustang Micro in the drawer for two years and thought… is the MM as good as the Spark 40?
After finding your awesome YT Channel and listening to the examples, I’m convinced. It’s hands down an incredible must have accessory. Loved the review and killer guitar examples.
Liked and Subbed. Thank you!
Thanks guys, amazing 🤙
I wish you had shown the connection set up but still great review. I love mine, great product.
I buy a lot of guitar stuff and I probably return half of it. This mustang micro is definitely worth every penny. Real nice tool for practice and it’s even more portable than an irig. Hit a few buttons till you find a tone you like and off you go.
I bought one of these. Super cool and worth the money.
Nice amp. That guitar looks great👍
I’ve had mine just over a month. Computer side is confusing. Headphone side and bt side awesome and simple.
I bought it as soon as I saw it! Was looking for a entry level amp but feared a box amp.I’m hoping they come out with an app that controls it from your device. For $100 you have to buy this.
Great review! Can't stop watching your videos. You two are the best duo in all things guitar! I have a question. Can a less than a year beginner benefit from this device?
Absolutely. This incredible tool can benefit any guitarist, independent of skill level.
When I purchased the Mustang Micro it stopped working in my Ibanez after a day of light use. I thought it was the micro and fender sent me a new one but it wasn’t the components failing. The micro unit swivels around its jack which consequently can loosen the barrel jacket housing shorting the solder connections of your guitar. My jack housing seemed tight but I opened the back and watched it slightly turn when I put the micro in and turned it. When I put a regular guitar chord in it seemed to stay put. So my extra caution is make sure your barrel jack housing is tight without play or buy a soldering iron.
My new fav gadget. Sounds great, battery last long, UBS-C... just good.
Another wow, how'd they do that video demo. Thanks Cooper and Chris
As a student a must have. Any travelers, truck drivers. for hooking up to computer speakers with wophers with power supply to jam with friends with acustic. For guitar shopping.
Not long until they just stick this in the guitar body just an earphone jack out, nice option! Would love a spark like interface on my iPad/phone via Bluetooth, so much fun, thanks guys.
I want to Trevor makes a review too. He lives nearby there! 😂 Metal and GTA are forever! 🤘
Changing with the times. This is what has always kept Fender relavant for so many decades. Starting from the first electric guitar made by Leo Fender!
I like this looks and sound very cool I think it's ti,e for an upgrade I've stll got a Boss PlayBus from the 90's
The Scholz Rockman can be considered the Granddaddy of this type of technology. it was pretty darn cool back in the day.
This looks rad.
I totally enjoyed your demo, This is a must have. Thank You. Kenyon
Wait, so basically if I want to buy an electric guitar for couch playing, it would be enough to buy this and plug into headphones? I wouldn't have to buy any amp at all? Sounds like getting started might be getting easier (and less pricey!).
I have one and it sounds better than my Fender Frontman 15G that came with my afffinity starter pack, at least the distortion amps. You can suck at private without bothering your neighboors XD
plugs straight into my strat with headphones and can jam in my apartment without pissing off the neighbors. can also play backing tracks through it too
I use a small speaker with an audio line in when I don’t feel like wearing headphones. Perfect for my small apartment where I have no use for a big app.
very nice demo thanks for taking the time....a little more versatility of the bridge and middle pickup during the demo would have bee nice.
Sounded great, but yes, Strat Position 2 & 4 would have been nice on the Fender Amp settings to see if the Micro reproduces those classic Strat tones. Noticed a lot of reviews miss that out.
I got the Vox clean micro amp like this, but I think I would prefer this one.
That is astonishing.
It's amazing, and it's so much fun.
I got one great demonstration guys
Is there anything like this for the bass??????? Or could this one be used with a bass???? Love it. !!!!!
Great video.. I bought the op amp Big Muff Pi last week, think it was 100 or something I was fucked on medication.. but it’s amazing but saying that I should have bought this as it’s same price. I will buy one of these next, I wonder if I can run my pedal with it? And can you listen to this out loud in a amp instead of headphones if you wanted? Il grab one maybe today if not next week..
Thank you for this Will the Fender Mustang Micro amp fit Traveler Guitar’s Pro Series Mod-X guitar?
the tubes in that must be microscopic!
"All the amp, without the amp" is the quote of the day.
Great demo gents, great product.
However, why is Chris holding a guitar through the whole video and not play it!? Leaves me feeling as i did when i watched the Sopranos finale! 😄👌🏽
Next step... Fender needs to take on the Boss Katana Air & the Yamaha THR ii series.... put this tech in a quality bluetooth/stereo enclosure. Desktop amps are the future. Not that many guitarists actually play gigs. We can't have a twin deluxe in the living room. Yamaha THR & Boss Katana changed the game. Come on Fender!!!!
Thanks for the review ! Can you plug it into a looper like boss rc500 and then to headphones ?
Hey guys, can you please give me your thoughts on how this bugger compares with the one made by Nux please?
I want to buy one of them but I’d like to get the better of the two obviously 🤙
Thanks in advance guys.
I’ve had mine a very short amount of time and, so far, have only one shortcoming. The effects, such as tape delay, are often used only intermittently as with a foot switch. I’ve yet to find a way to toggle an effect on and off during a song
Seems like this would be perfect if it had an app where you could see what amp/effect you were selecting. With no readout it seems a bit daunting cycling through all the possibilities.
Can we connet it to speakers also?
Can you run this straight into an amp via the headphone socket? I think you mention this but I just wanted to double check.
With the only overdrive on the "65 + Greenbox" is it possible to use an overdrive pedal with the Mustang Micro?
Next step is to build this into a guitar. Plug straight into a headphone jack for practice. Use the guitar in a conventional way when you want to use the amp. Best of both worlds.. I should get the wood working gear and router out..👍🇦🇺
Yes yes...now the circle is complete
All you have to do is plug in a small attachable speaker into the headphone out and you can busk anywhere you want.
Or plug in one of those stick on surface speakers or sound exciters that amplify from any surface on the body guitar and spook people out
Can this be used to plug into the "aux" input on a speaker/mixer/car-stereo, etc. kind of like how you can plug in an phone?
Does anyone know how this sounds through a Traveler guitar? Thinking about getting one for my EG-1
Is this gadget also can use on Acoustic electric guitar
Could this be used as a headphone adapter for a tube amp?
How does it compare to the mighty plug from Nux
Can one run it in front of a tube amp? Can you combine effects?
Can you guys review the Spark 40 please?
Can this be paired to a Bluetooth speaker thank you
can it work with the vox 2 watt cabinet?
I bought a $1000 Tonemaster Deluxe, and a $89 Mustang Micro. The mustang is hands down the winner! Go get one.
Can you use an aux cord and hook it to a Bluetooth speaker??
I just ordered an adapter for my guitar. I hope it works. 1/8” male to 1/4” female 🤷🏼♂️?
Can you save any settings or do you have to push the button 7 times to get to your favorite sound? Will it at least save your last setting? The Nux mighty plug has saved settings and much more tones. Have you guys reviewed this one that has been out for awhile?
Settings cannot be saved. You have to push the button multiple times. It will save your last setting, and return to that setting when you power it up. That said, I find the amp models are really responsive, especially the '70s British, that you can go clean to mean with a twist of the volume knob. I stay pretty much on that amp model, and the Tape Delay effect. If you need to change tones constantly, the NUX might be a better bet.
Great Question. What did you go for, the Fender or Nux?
Great answer. I have asked this many times, some people get confused and say no, you have to start all over every time*, some say it saves the last settings...that's fine by me. Surprised that the Fender manual does not make this clear.
*Seems that some expect to be able to save different settings (EQ, Effect, Modify) for each amp model. That's not possible, there is no save button. That's where the Nux Mighty Pro comes in useful.
Can you run another amp through it if you wanted a bigger louder sound with its effects?
Oh and he is playing a killer Strat.
Would you buy this over the Boss GT pocket amp?
Can you Bluetooth it to a Bluetooth speaker and play without headphones?
Can we get this demo on an acoustic guitar?
Can it bluetooth straight to a real amp if a bluetooth reciever is plugged into an amp ?
Guys will this launch in India?
Better order one now before they run out - this is awesome.
So you have to refer to the instructions every time you change something to see what that something is? A very cool device but it should have a readout that shows settings.
Would you also recommend this for an acoustic guitar?
Good question! I‘m going to buy it for adding a bit of electric guitar to my otherwise acoustic set, but if it could also be used to add some different colors to an acoustic, maybe I could even get by without dragging the electric guitar along. You know, stuff like „Mary Jane‘s Last Dance“ (Tom Petty) or „Drive“ (R.E.M.) without having to actually play an electric. Feels like Christmas even though it‘s only spring... :-)
Yep! You can use the Studio Direct setting (or perhaps one of the clean amp models, or dirty model if you wanted to get crazy) and add effects to your acoustic-electric.
So it's basically a pocket pod but instead of clipping on your belt loop it plugs into the guitar input...
Oh this is very cool, it sure beats the cheap practice amp came with my Electric Guitar. I wonder could you use it as preamp and put through a basic amplifier to use its affects?
please compare it with Nux Mighty Pro
I wish the Bluetooth could connect to earbuds or BT headphones.
Will this Bluetooth into headphones?
