    I grew up on music of Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, King Crimson. I am great fan of Hendrix, Knopfler, Gilmour, May , I used to even play a guitar in rock band when I was younger. But now ... now I want You to know that I am fascinated by your play ! Your play cannot be just listened to, I just feel your play , it feeds my soul . Thank You Dave, you are really amazing !

    My Mighty Nux Air is easily my most played amp. So simple. Plug in the wireless and away I go. Sometimes removing all barriers to guitar playing is best. Don't need to get out amps/leads etc. Just leave it anywhere in the house for inspiration.

    I bought one after your first video. Would be good if you could save your settings to the unit and then not have to access Bluetooth. Mostly i just plug straight in without it, and with a lead. I live in a van and so it's very handy and the battery lasts a long time.

  • @campy3888

    I just bought my first guitar and this amp 3 months ago and I've been playing 5-6 hours a day after work. Though I barely know anything about tones it's amazing how much is unlocked and available in this tiny amp. Thanks for sharing your tone settings as you gave me some good bases to go off of. It's kind of cool that a monster player like you uses the same piece of gear as a beginner like me xD

  • @renodavid
    @renodavid Před 2 lety

    So cool that you’re still using this little tone machine. The sounds you get out of it are inspiring. I’m pretty convinced that Nux is really onto something special here. The passive radiator has to play a huge part in getting such a full sound out of this tiny box. It sounds much better than if they were using a simple speaker like they have in the Blackstar Fly. They’re kind of taking a page out of the Bose handbook (I have one of their little Soundlink Minis and it’s amazing). Anyway, I think I’m finally going to grab one of these, but I’m just making sure Nux doesn’t come out with a new version (maybe something slightly larger?) for NAMM. Thanks again for the great demos!👏

    I can't find a tech person to help what I think is a basic soldering issue.
    so question is ...is this thing any more ROBUST.
    I don't think I treat them that rough by the way!
    I also hate technology too..
    washing machine manuals make me queasy
    Simple and robust is what I seek.
    Or an evening class in fixing dodgy connections.
    my 6 guitars and 4 or 5 amps and a couple of pedals ALL need their electronics tweaking.
    My search for a local luthier/guitar tech continues.
    Meanwhile is this worth splashing out for or will I snap it in a week?
    It's the bane of my life!!
    I feel jinxed with wires pulling apart!
    Is it me or are things not put together as well as they ought???
    help..
    This sounds great in your hands...of course...
    you've got something of the touch of a genius.
