Awesome demo, I’m waiting for mine to arrive👍
Thank you so-o-o much for this excellent review!
Wow! Thank you for this great overview. This is going to be part of my bday present to myself.
Happy birthday!
I’ve only used plug amps at home for the past few years. I love them.
Amazing review as always 🙏
Awesome product and demo Tony! Just the thing I am looking for trying to go more compact and wireless for practicing at home. I might pick one up!
Great review🤘🤘
Hello. Very good review. I really want one of these devices….
Thanks Tony
Near the end of the video when you were switching between different overdrive / distortion pedals, there was no tonal difference because the EFX pedal wasn’t active.
🎸Excellent demo and walkthrough! Thanks, Tony!! I just got the NU>X MP3 and it is awesome! Your walkthrough the controls and use are very helpful. I'd love to see if there was a pedal/interface that is this straight forward to play through my amp and not just headset. Thank you again!!! A 5 Guitar review 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
You can send this to your amp or studio monitors or even a PA if you're gigging
Plug it into a pair of near-field monitors. Any modelling device for that matter. Traditional amps are a modellers worst enemy.
Great video, silly question where does one download the Android app. I can't find it on Google Play store. Thanks . Leslie
Like 101 !! I have the mp2 it's awesome ... may just get the mp3. Awesome video, big thumbs up 👍👍👍☮☮☮
Hi I have NUX mighty plug mp2 - it's great - my problem is - I can not get a stereo signal when using a 3.5mm TRS to Dual 6.35mm TS Breakout cable -> into my Left and right inputs on my Boss RC500 looper pedal. The ping pong delay does not work. The Nux only gives a true stereo signal with headphones. Do you have any ideas? Thanks
I sold my Boss Waza Air headphone amp because it didn't do the things this does. I just bought this and am so much happier. Boss should really take note.
Same. I'll be selling my WazaAir.
I hate to think how much those cost you. IIRC probably 3X as much.
Question if you save a new patch over the old one and want the old one back, how can you get it? Also is there a way to play through your computer and hear it through your computer speakers?
I have the Fender Micro Mustang and it’s amazing.
I bought both, The Mighty Plug & the Fender. Full disclosure, I own a ton of Fender Guitars & Amps. Knowing nothing about the NU-X, I assumed the Fender Micro Mustang was gonna crush it! HUGE surprise, the Fender doesn’t even come close, not even for Fender sounds. The NU>X just crushes the Micro Mustang in every category. That’s a promise 👍👍
Bad luck because Mustang is too expansive unlike NUX so very bad purchasing
@@jimwilkey7294 I just got the Mustang Micro - great - but disappointed with high gain lead sound. I wanted a creamy ( neck pu) claption women tone or Santana or Satriani lead type sound ( I play lead alot) -- but the Mustang Micro goes metallic / compressed on any setting like that. Do you know if the NU-X Pro is better at a creamy high gain lead work?
can you recommend a step by step guide to connecting to the computer please
I've been looking for a 'brain' to be the center of a stereo practice amp. You can easily power a couple of 5 inch full-range speakers with a TPA 3110 30 watt amp board ($2 on aliexpress/cheap 12V power supply is another $2), and then it's all just carpentry and 'the best tone you can get for $130' by choosing the4 right headphone amplifier. I'm going with the NU-X....you'll end up with a considerably better, chunkier sounding practice amp than you can buy for about 1/3rd the cost, depending on your wood skills and tool availability, and it will allow you to bluetooth backing tracks to it, and you can put a tone stack in the actual amp to give some real knob adjustment and volume control. It's like making a sandwich. Collect the parts, put it together.
Do I need to do this? No. Am I bored? Yes. I'll post the build when it happens.
I posted before the end....after hearing the dual rect. I'ts definitely the NU-X. I have an MG300 that replaced my PODHD500X (I'm not much of a tweaker) , and while the POD is amazing for FX and I/O, the higher gain models are a bit lacking compared to modern modellers. I spent $550 on the HD500X used and $140 on the MG300. Tech is getting better and cheaper.
Do you recommend it for an acoustic guitar?
Listening to this through my ear buds I could actually hear the ping ponging
Hace tres años compré un dispositivo wireless Muslady que solo pude utilizar en 5 o 6 ocasiones, simplemente dejó de funcionar sin motivo aparente, ¿que tiempo de vida estiman que dure este producto?
Me interesa adquirirlo, pero me gustaría que lo pueda utilizar dependiendo la calidad de vida que yo le ofrezca y no por algún defecto de fabrica.
Just got one & must admit I am very impressed. Like everything, the stock patches suck. I immediately installed the Choptones firmaware & preset pack. WOw, this little thing is a game-changer for silent personal playing. or Travel.
Are these good with electric acoustic??
Please tell me what android "video call" apps works with Nux Mighty plug pro (Line and Facebook Messenger not works).
I have someone who wants to buy my version of the 2. Should I sell it and get the 3 ? Is it that much better sound and does it have more preset amp sounds
Hi Tony,
Thanks for a great review!
Here’s a question: if I’m playing along with the drums (included on the device), can I record both together saving the track onto my phone, let’s say in an MP3 format, so that I could then easily text or email it to a friend?
Thanks!
Not that I know of
The NuX is a usb audio device. I record by plugging it into my android device and use Audio Evolution as a full on DAW
@@peterallen964 thanks a lot for your reply! That’s just what I need to know.
Hello
Thank you for this in-depth review and demo.
Question: Are the 7 presets aligned with the push button on the front of the MP-3 unit?
If so, can they be re arranged so that one can have clean-dirty-lead in series ?
Yep. You can change the presets all to your liking, and even disable some presets so that you don't have to cycle through all 7 if you don't need them.
@@PBTophie Thank you.
recording function is missing to save an idea as wav
Wait, you can stream to your headphones and from your phone at the same time?
I'm very confused by what I'm seeing... Is there a mighty editor for Mac? I though it was only for iOS/Android. Can someone clarify?
Hi, thanks for the review, despite all the new feature in terms of customization, does it sound better than the MP2 ? Cause i thought the MP2 sounded a bit too much "cheap" like too much simulated sound.
It sounds much much better.
@@addictedtogear Great to know.
wow! i thought the fender mustang mini was cool but this is superior and much cheaper
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I would like to ask a few questions. I play bass and I need something that allows me to play along with audio music and some Apps like Moses or iReal Pro. I would like to know if I can connect the Nux with my iPad via Bluetooth (and play along with those apps) and also connect via Bluetooth my headphones. Do you think this device is the best in their category? Thanks and best regards.
yes to all but the Bluetooth headphones. the Nux doesn't transmit Bluetooth, it only receives. you'll need wired headphones from the Nux. you will be able to play along with apps like Moises. That's what I'm going to be doing with gaudio.
Can I use Bluetooth headphones for output and all. Or no, must I use wired headphones
Will this work with bandlab on Android?
The tones sound great. The only question I have is, can you play backing tracks through your phone and okay along with them?
Yes you can.
Hi...are you complete shure that is possible to use just with a Bluetooth headphones??? You dont need to usé a wire headphoned????thanks
No that's not possible
Like I want to be clear, I want Bluetooth headphones synced to plug to hear my play and backing track
Does the app work on a android phone? Seems like a nice headphone amp. More versatile than the mustang micro in my opinion
Yes it does. I’ve used it on a Samsung Galaxy phone as well as on my iPad.
Can you use this with Bluetooth headphones at all?
That would be super useful.
@@questionmark5463You could try a bluetooth transmitter, but the latency might be a problem.
Hi nice vid👍 i wounder Can i use 80 ohm headphones or do i have to use 32 ohm? Is it even poosible to use DT 770 pro with 250 ohm?🫣
I've heard that M-wave/Cuvave chocolate (a cheap midi foot switch) can control patch switching of Nux mighty plug pro, is it true?
I don’t know sorry
Yes it's true. Have to use a iOS device running midi wrench or mightier amp on Android which is now supporting the mighty plug.
You just said that you can stream the device to Bluetooth headphones. Can you check on that the last I heard this device does not allow you to transmit Bluetooth.
@@SaltyDraws thats kind of what i wish it had. it would be the perfect portable device.
What you CAN do is stream backing tracks into the Nux via Bluetooth to play along.
Correct, this device is a Bluetooth receiver NOT a Bluetooth transmitter.
Seems like a thorough reviewer, don’t know why he’d make that huge statement error?
How did it catch you that much off guard when you did a very extensive review of the original mighty plug?
An honest comparison of the two devices would be useful
It caught me off guard because I didn't expect to like it so much more than the previous model I tried. Thanks for watching.
@@addictedtogear Hi, imagine, I've had the mp-2 for about a week, it's great. I will also order the mp-3, so I believe it will be even better, I must be crazy, keep both versions? One to play at another, my summer recreation place, with a bluetooth speaker.. or a small combo.. guitar, electric violin..
And keep an mp-3 by the bed at home for quiet playing, in headphones? I also have a Hotone Ampero One at home by my bed for training with Mooer Looper X2.. to Katana mini.. Yesterday I felt that the mp-2 plays better as Hotone to Katana to aux in... In solo sound.. I am confused : D Could anyone compare similar cases? What do you advise, is it stupid to keep both mp-2 and mp-3?? Can mp-2 be any better? In something??
@@VladoBelothe mp3 has stereo effects, the mp2 is mono.
IMO the The Ampero Stomp II is spectacular. One of the only modellers I ever liked.
It is a Scholz Rockman 30 years after the first, lol. To be honest I think it's cool but I am not surprised it exists. You could do entire albums with the first so why not this one too???
Actually the whole Hysteria album was done with a Rockman.
Is it dece?
Wait, did you say you can connect it to bluetooth speakers or bluetooth headphones?
I wondered when I heard that too. The previous version, MP2 did NOT connect the OUTPUT to a bluetooth device. I think the Bluetooth function allows connection to the editing app. or playing backing tracks.
I wonder what the truth is, Im not sure its possible, Tonny could You please solve it ? :)
Is this better than the fender micro?
I would not say better just different. Both are good choices.
I’ve got an issue where I’m getting a really bad feedback squeal with mine.
You say if your headphones don’t have a cable, you can stream it through Bluetooth headphones… How do you do that? I can’t figure it out. I thought it was just a Bluetooth receiver, not a transmitter
You can't use BT headphones with it
@@TezTezTezTezTezyeh just what I though
Is it suitable for bass guitar?
Yes it's just sound. The device doesn't discriminate lol
So it's up to you're headphones or speakers and adjustments to you're tone
How can you use this device on stage?
Probably but why would you want to?
Not everybody as a phone, some are still "free" of that spying machine!!...
So you’re the one! LOL
This looks like it can be a bit of a time waster. I am not sure if I constantly need to tweak a portable device. It might be good for a young beginner player who doesn't have an actual amp. FOr me, the Mustang Micro is simpler to use and thus better for my portable needs. Plus the Mustang sounds better.
I love the tweak ability of this little unit. So much fun! Not sure how much better the sounds are compared to the Mustang but they sound great to me.
I've tried both. This blows away the Mustang in sound quality. Mainly because of the tweakability. The stock patches & IRs aren't great. But with some tweaking, this can sound incredible. And with 7 preset slots, you don't have to tweak again. I have clean, clean mod, crunch, crunch boosted, rock, rock boosted, Lead.
It can replace my shih tzu?
Yes
Great. Now HOW do you turn this sob OFF?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
Click and hold
It sounds like every other headphone amp, shrill and thin.
So you tried them all?
@@addictedtogearI should have said "every headphone amp I have heard". Obviously I haven't heard them all. But given that they all seem to have the same unpleasant sound I tend to believe there's a problem with the concept rather than individual models. I have now ordered a Waza Air so hopefully that will be different.
Thank you for your helpful video🙏
I would be glad if you could answer my short questions of me about NUX Mighty Plug Pro MP-3 Headphone Amp.
1- Can we use it for live performance and connect it to any PA system ? If yes how?
2- Does it connects to any bluetooth speaker wirelessly? Or it needs to have a NUX speaker supporting that?
3- Does it have "pitch shifter" effect in the program and if yes how is it's quality ?
4- Is there a limitation for the number of customized backing tracks that we can add manually?
5- Does it work with just Piezo Mics of acoustic guitar with no preamp mounted over it?
6- Is there any limitations or latency like problems or with android systems?
I thank you for your kind answers in advance,
All bests.
