Hey guys I just noticed the preorder page at Thomann disappeared. The amp was priced at 149€ there. When the page is back online, the link should work again.
I am getting mine soon. Will run a looper into my Rumble 25 or any pedal I want. I will be using mine in a praise band. Pray our music will reach someone.
Hi Inkblizzard. I play in a praise band as well. Can you tell me more about the looper? Is that to get the sound into a bigger amp to enable you to play live for an audience in a church? I like this practice amp a lot and want to now how to get this thing amplified to say like 150watts or more.
Thank you for this amazing review! I had the little light Amp on order, but after seeing this I cancelled & Ordered the Mighty Air. Seems to have a lot more features!
I’m a good enough guitarist so that looks perfect for short trips and picnics. And the sound from those tiny drivers is impressive even if not ear splittingly loud, that’s what big amps are fo yo 🤘🏽
The whole thing is so much fun and it’s louder than you’d think! It’s just something that’s difficult to demonstrate in a video. I’ll be using mine for picnic music as week once the summer returns in roughly 20 moths...
Looking at the lite version. The price is much much cheaper and I don't like the built in rechargeable battery. I mean, it will die at some point. Better to be able to replace the batteries. The built in wireless also, I just think that the price difference allows you to buy a wireless system if you want that. Here in Australia, it is cheaper to buy a separate wireless system, and of course that can be used with any amp. Also, the wireless unit has a battery that won't last.So I can buy those features and add them to the Lite version, and the price is still lower. Plus, I am just learning, so I don't need to worry so much about sound differences. The lite is already a very good unit. Any savings I make, I can put towards the next amp.
I would have liked to hear all of the drum settings for about a minute each and at varying tempos. As a player of most styles, how would this compare to the Katana in a jazz setting?
Great review! I am convinced. I have a Mighty Plug for travel headphone amp, would you rather have the Mighty Air or the THR10II 20w version as a practice amp?
Thanks! I haven't tried the THR10 so I can't really compare. I don't even know the features of it. All I can say is that the Mighty Air is a lot of fun and it also works great as a bluetooth speaker.
Since there is no USB out to record to a computer interface or DAW can the line out for headphones work with an adapter? If you have headphones in does it mute the amp or is there volume control for both the amp and headphone out to balance for recording? I don't mind recording with microphones on the amp and that is not my main purpose for this amp but I do record on the go with my Ipad and a small interface for my portable setup which is what this would be. Can I use other modeling apps like Bias FX and the riff that i got from Positive Grid for my spark with this?
I'm pretty sure putting headphones in does mute amp's speakers. But as you mentioned, you could use the headphone out with an adapter to record. That's how I recorded the audio for my NUX Mighty Plug demo for example with great results. I think this way you would most likely achieve better sound quality anyway than micing up a tiny amp. Not sure what you mean with using Bias FX and other apps, but basically you can use the amp as a speaker for anything. Just set it up as a Bluetooth speaker and it should play anything.
@@CatPickStudios Thanks for the reply. I bought one the day after I wrote my question. The charging port USB out to my Computer showed up in my Daw. Super easy to record that way. I don't have a patch cable where I am. I am traveling so as soon as I get a cable I will try playing through my Riff and see if I can use those tones Bias FX is on my phone, and I use it when I am home with my spark. It's Positive grids software. A bazillion tones and beyond. Such an amazing app and so easy to customize, experiment and switch things up. So far after 2 days I am so impressed with this little guy. I am on the road for six months travelling and it fit in my gig bag perfectly. The app is not bad, but after using Bias Fx I hope to get it dialed in to use with this. If I can get my positive grid riff working with this too, that would just be the ultimate portable set up for traveling. Thanks again for the reply. And thanks for the great content.
Great review! But how about latency between playing on the guitar and hearing it on the amp? I read somewhere that wireless transmission will not overcome the latency problem.
Thanks! Tbh I didn't pay any attention to the latency, which means it's very small. I'm usually very sensitive about this stuff and I struggle to play if there's a lot of latency going on. Obviously there is a tiny bit of latency going on but as I said, it's barely noticeable and you get used to it very quickly.
@@guardianobserver6593 I got the Plug, but even today think both are great. I may sell it and get the Air as I don't like playing with headphones as much as I thought.
@@AxemanMessiah Thank you. I have the same "problem" with the headphones which I can't stand and cables and I put the guitar apart. I look reviews on the nux mighty air to find if I the sound at low volume (like a low volume TV) is clear for night practice.
@@guardianobserver6593 Yeah the Air is really unique in that sense. Fully wireless without even a 1/4 inch cable, under 3lb, and uses USBC to charge! I still love my Plug as it is even more portable and can practice without hesitation at night. The Plug is far cheaper and uses the same DSP as the Air, and you can use an Aux cable to connect into a speaker that is larger than the Air to get a more full sound when you really want to play. Overall you can't go wrong with either though, and I love the Plug and Air way more than the Yamaha THR10, Boss Katana, and Positive Grid Spark which I owned and sold.
@@CatPickStudios theoretically - yes, but practically - I have about 250ms latency with Mackie Freeplay Go via analog minijack.. (!) Bang&Olufsen A1 hasn't a latency, but going to sleep, if I not play during 25 sec, and wake-up takes about 1.5 sec - so, nobody hear my first chord after a big rest..)) So, after these 2 speakers I search for a next one, and, now I very careful with the choice))
How is the bass on this? Afraid it might be too little due to the size of the speaker. I mainly play clean channels but still want that bass umph on my guitar. Thanks!
@@CatPickStudios Thanks for the reply! I decided to get the Mighty Plug instead, and use the aux to plug into a speaker. Hopefully will this work well :)
Hmm I probably do it this way: Guitar -> Cable into looper -> Wireless send unit from the looper. This way you would be tied to your looper with a cable but it would allow you to place the amp where ever you want. Going fully wireless would require you to have another wireless unit. :)
Unfortunately with this amp I don't think there's a way to do what you're describing. The NUX Mighty Space from the same range comes with a footswitch but it's also bigger.
Hey Vlad, great review, thank you! I had a couple of questions that maybe you can help with (if you have any access to the manufacturer's resources?). First, do you know when this unit will be available in the United States? Second, do you know of any Bluetooth pedals / footswitches that can work with it? I found one review from a big box retailer in the US where someone is using AirTurn BT200S-6 ( store.airturn.com/products/airturn-bt200s-6 ) with their Yamaha THR. I wonder if this or similar unit will work with this amp app. It seems like all of the mini amps are missing this ability / option.
Thanks, fellow Vlad! I'm afraid I don't know about US availability, my guess is that the current Covid situation has delayed the US release. Check out Reverb if some US stores already have it? I've also haven't heard anything about using a bluetooth controller with the amp. Now what you say it, it could actually make a lot of sense. At least you might be able to switch between the channels. I don't have any controllers at my studios, so I'm afraid I can't test it. :/
I use my NUX Mighty with a small stereo bluetooth speaker, the Tribit MaxSound+ (24w) plugged straight into the headphone jack on the amp, and you wouldnt believe how great the result. Paid $80 for the NUX and $40 for the Tribit...got me a sweet little mobile set-up. I hardly even use my THR10 anymore because I really like the convenience of using my phone to operate everything with the NUX. And placing the speaker at distance opens up the acoustics in a very natural way. The NUX is a great product, for me though...it just needed a little more power. The effects are actually pretty damn good.
@@musicismyreligion5213 do you think it's better getting the mighty air or the mighty plug and plugging it into a Bluetooth speaker for bigger and better sound?
Never tried it with an acoustic but I would assume it doesn't sound that good since you can't turn off the amp simulation completely. I might be wrong though, maybe it sounds killer through the acoustic simulator.
It's a lot of fun but you have to play with gain and volume controls depending on your bass. I used my 5-string active bass with it and I had to drop the gain on the amp quite a lot so the input doesn't clip. Obviously the amp can't produce the really low frequencies but I still had fun playing my bass through it.
@@CatPickStudios ok, thnx, me neighter, I just found out that the Mighty Plug does have that. So could go for that one. Btw, can't buy the Air anywhere anymore, also not at Thomann.🙁
Unfortunately the app is crap! It just works on some android versions (e.g. got it running on 6 and 8) but not in others (e.g. on 10 it always asks to enable GPS, while this is already on). On some resolution, the first two tabs are so far shifted to the right, that they are unusable. I'll send it back for the blackstar fly 3.
I used to design graphics for mobile apps and Android versions were always a pain because of all the different device sizes. I’m guessing smaller companies have trouble keeping up with all the options :/
CatPick Studios , thanks ! I just ordered one now , have it Tuesday. I have several amps that I can barely turn past 1 at home or studio. This will I hope fill the late night jamming at home.
Hey! So you're trying to install an update, right? Plug in the amp to the Mac, make sure the amp is turned off. Launch the updater software on your Mac. Then if I remember correctly you need to hold channel select and Tap buttons while you power the amp on. This should take it to update mode and the amp will show up in the updater software on the Mac. Then load up the updater file and hit update. This is how I did it, let me know if it works!
Have anybody used the "" GUITAR CUT EQ setting"" to remove the guitar part from a music track?

The only time I think you would not be in sync or have a latency problem, is if you move a very long distance from the Amp. Hope that helps?
Thanks for the video, it was tremendously insightful! Would you pick this over a Mighty Plug? Having a very difficult time deciding between the two.

From what I understand the answer is no, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Can I use bluetooth headphones with a song as a backtrack while playing wireless?
I haven't tried that so I'm not 100% sure.
I think (I am sure) that there is only receiver Bluetooth so you can only use smartphone and not headphones.
Can use for audio interface ? , I saw asio driver in nux website

i cant update my mighty air firmware, please help me, it only says no device found
If you're on Windows, did you download the driver?
i havent, thanks, i will try that first, the guide said that it should work by downloading DFU, so i didnt try downloading the driver.
Is it possible to record an own backing track?
The app/amp doesn't record anything, but obviously you can play any mp3 file through it, including your own recordings.
Can you power the amp with a connected battery power pack?
Yes, absolutely!
