Oh wow. Joko’s name is quite common in Indonesia as well. But when i read your surname, i know you are not from Indonesia, but from philippines. Its a killer track man. Congrats

[@JokoReantasoMusic]

@@iisan1 yeah man! I actually get mistaken for an Indonesian a lot haha! It’s quite an honor actually coz Indonesia has a lot of amazing guitar players!

[@AlmostArion]

Holy damn, Lees solos and phrasing have gone up levels the last few years

[@iggy9955]

I have a similar albeit older micro amplifier for small headphones Jojo Super Lead. I got it as a gift from a late friend (corona) and I know how to play with it sometimes or connect it with the headphone output to the processor and then to the amplifier, etc. Yes, it's fun, and the most important thing is to sit on the rocks of the breakwater and play in honor of my friend with the wind and sound of waves. Yes, a fun little thing. Thank you Gordan❤

[@thomasschell2424]

Lee, your talent really is come into its own over the last few years... It gives me hope as a guy that's played 20+ years and still can't find my groove

[@BigJasquach]

Holy phrasing Lee! That outro solo. God damn. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Robert-Peterson]

I got my Mighty Plug a couple of years ago and convinced a few of my musician friends to grab one. I'm glad you guys are finally "seeing the light" on this terrific little contraption. This is quite possibly the best money I've spent on guitar gear...dollar for dollar/pound for pound. Also...the MP2 does indeed have a drum machine built in, not just the metronome. Honestly...this is the singular best headphone practice rig, hands down. I wish I had one of these a long time ago when I was dropping alot of money on effects and stuff. And the best thing for the MP2 was when NUX updated the firmware and increased the functionality of the unit (it was limited to only 4 presets when I got my Mighty Plug) and increased the number of available presets. And the bluetooth app is fantastic for setting/saving your tones, just make sure location data is activated for the app on your phone or it won't connect properly. For all those folks "late to the party" on the NUX Mighty Plug...stop waiting and get one.

[@hamsterdamdam]

I have a question. Let's say I'm searching for particular tone. Can I copy/download it from another people via bar code perhaps. Because I saw the features but I don't know what to do with it.

[@Robert-Peterson]

@@hamsterdamdam I don't know, but it would be cool if you could share presets.

[@rowbags3017]

Those look really neat! I'm seriously tempted as a "practise anywhere" tool - with the scope to also offer much more. Great playing from you both. Lee's soloing has reached a whole new level lately - really confident and expressive. 😎

[@TwoMooreCampervanners]

Love how far Lee has coming with his playing. So fluid. Nice work.

Wow! the Captain was on fire on this one, sounds great mate. Danish Pete is a legend as well.

[@joeformayor]

Now that’s what I’m talking about…. The Captain slaying it! Pete of course you sound amazing. This NUX product is absolutely amazing and is insane in what you can do. I have always been curious about the plug-in amps and now I am sold thanks to you two. I will be adding this into the arsenal. Thanks guys for always rocking and providing us with the knowledge we need! Y’all need to release an Andertons UnPlugged…. We need your jam sessions!

[@tonymcawesome]

Lee, your improvemment in your playing is very noticable. Great job mate!

[@garethnaicker4225]

Lee with the finger tap bend has made my year...

[@noisedreams659]

This thing is really rich with features, and probably one of the most useful guitar "toys" out there. You can use it as an interface, as a bluetooth thingy, you can even set it up to pair it with your phone and live stream with it, and for video calls so it's really great for online teachers/ courses

[@adcharz7105]

Part of the genuine enjoyment of all Anderton's content is having watched the evolution of Lee's playing and style. He's capable of doing SO much with just a handful of notes. Pure feel and musicality. Fender need to approach you for a signature dude!! Oh and I'm totally sold.on these little gizmos! Great work guys as always!

[@PhreddCrintt]

TOTALLY agree.

[@peanutismint]

These are great! I use mine to play bass through often. Also I’m pretty sure both the lower and higher model can function as a USB interface for recording/playback. Pretty useful tool.

[@fakeaccount663]

on a side note, the biggest add for that sire is just how much lee seems to enjoy playing it. beautiful neck on it too

[@babonneau]

Thanks for finally reviewing these small technological wonders! I got my NUX Mighty Plug Pro (MP3) one year ago (dec. 2022) and I've been practising and recording a lot of guitar through this little box to my DAW on my laptop running macOS. Being on a budget for music gear, it allowed me to start again enjoying to play my electric guitar and record song ideas. I definitely recommend these super compact "headphone amps" for which I bought a double-sided female jack plug to be able to have more cable length from my guitar and plug them into actual amps at the rehearsing room when jamming with other musicians to use the built-in effects rack (controllable from both the iOS app on my iPhone and from the macOS Might Editor app - I guess they also have equivalent apps for Android and Windows). All effect presets are customisable and can be saved into one of the 7 presets. You can export your presets to an external memory / computer to reload them later via the included USB cable. So just press on the bigger round button on the NUX Mighty Plug to change your preset. I am in love with this little box!

[@ToneDeth.]

So happy you guys are getting into Nu-X. About time. Mighy Nux Air, BT MK2 and Space next please!

[@mikepretorius6350]

Wow good playing there Lee 👍

[@pieredupreez5915]

sounding great Lee!

[@anthonydevito1298]

Brooooooooo when Lee came in with the tapppppss 🤘

[@nellayema2455]

Cool product. These things make my Rockman IIb and Soloist seem like stone-age headphone amps! Lee's playing was fantastic, BTW.

[@christopherkahn6522]

Yeah, these things are great. It does it all and should be product of the year. Sounds just like a fifties Fender Bassman, sixties Fender Super Reverb, seventies Plexi Marshall, eighties JCM Marshall, nineties Mesa Boogie, and many more, live or recorded, with any effects you want in any order you want, connects with a tablet using Bluetooth and streams audio from the tablet to the NUX Mighty Plug headphone out. It is also perfect for recording into the computer since it is also a high quality audio interface with no latency. This is all you need. It seems like the modern version of a Rockman, which was similarly, super high quality when it first came out in 1982. My favorite combinations are playing a Fender Stratocaster through the Super Reverb model, a Gibson SG straight through the Plexi Marshall model, and a Gibson Les Paul with effects through the JCM Marshall.😮

[@IamMusicNerd]

I love my Fender Micro for practicing at night, so I might need to check this one out too.

[@richgrothaus5971]

Great opening jam. 👊🏻

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

[@LuvhandleR]

Somebody's been practicing. Sounding good!

[@jmabs5096]

Damn Lee that has to be one of your best jam to date.

[@digitalninjatools5670]

Lee's playing was on point today - clearly you are more of an 80s guy than you realised! :D

[@niclastname]

I've had the cheaper one for a few years now and they're great! It's slightly less convenient to have to use your phone to create presets etc instead of buttons like the fender version, but it's SO nice to have full EQ control instead of EQ presets on the fender and hoping their preset EQ works for your guitar/headphones/genre. Headphone amps can sound dramatically different on different headphones, so it's much better to have full control imo.

[@JTB--]

The was some fine guitar playing there boys 🍻

[@lehik]

A few things worth mentioning: - At least the Pro version has a tuner - You can stream music from any app (Spotify etc.) from your phone via BT or from computer via BT or USB - The Main point of having backing tracks on the device is that you can add timestamps where the preset changes automatically - The Pro has stereo effects (not sure about the non-Pro) - The USB can be set to "Dry out" for clean recording (along with Reamp or Loopback routing) - Presets can be shared via QR codes - While the MightyAmp app is great, there's a third party -created Mightier App which has a ton of extra features (like more preset slots, you can switch presets with BT pedals etc) - For me, using a headset connected with TRRS cable has worked great (in Zoom, Teams etc) ...and yes, I'm biased as I had the non-Pro originally and bought the Pro literally on day one it became available (mostly for the headset/mic functionality) 😅

[@fernandoatorre]

On the pro version, with mightier amp you can unlock several amps (jcm2000 and more).

[@kritsharma2933]

Hi, just wanted to know your opinion. Do you think that mighty plug pro is enough to be the only amplification device for a bedroom guitarist? Have you found a way to loop it? Did you encounter the buzzing issue?

[@lehik]

@@kritsharma2933 probably not if you are looking for similar experience to playing with an amp in the room, but otherwise it could very well be enough. You can use it with either headphones or an active speaker. Of course it doesn't give you super convenient ways of changing the effects (like a stomp mode), but as said, you can switch between presets with a BT pedal/selector. I've tried looping with an app on my phone and it seemed to work pretty much ok. Also, it might be possible to take the audio from the 3.5mm headphone connector and route that to a looper pedal and output the audio from the pedal to your headphones/speaker. I haven't had any buzzing issues with the device.

[@kritsharma2933]

[@mikedavies1827]

They sound awsome.

[@DavidKennaway1]

These sound better than most of the multi effects pedals you demo. Amazing for the price.

[@stoneysdead689]

It's amazing to me what we have now- all of that inside that tiny little box that just plugs directly into your guitar. My whole life it's been lugging around huge amps, that costed a small fortune, and tore up left and right- this is so much better. And we're almost there on the quality of the tones as well- you have to listen super close to hear any difference at this point. That is- if you're using the right IRs. Imo- if you use a modeler, do yourself a huge favor and learn all about IRS and how to use them- they make such a huge difference it's unreal. Discovering York IRs is what made me decide to keep using a modeler- I was about to scrap the idea and go back to my tube amps. But these IRs make the MX5 sound so good it's nuts to think a piece of software could make that kind of a difference.

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

Sounds pretty good. Weirdly enough my Magnatone Super 15 has a headphones jack so I've got the completely silent playing ability already but these are surprisingly good

[@jlwmvo59]

Great job comparing the two units.

[@brentheathersimons7042]

Nice Gents!!! Any chance you can get the other Lee and CC to show off some of the bass amps and effects? Thank you- Brent,VT USA

[@Goldsteinphoto]

Great unit everything's been pretty much said. One change I'd like to see is two buttons so I could cycle forward and back throough the presets. With a single button you can only go forward. If they made a wireless expression pedal with a couple stomp pedals for it you wouldn't need a multi effects pedal.

[@grotline]

So you actually spent some time with these for the Capt’n to be that smooth with the exit jam well done

How well do these work with acoustic guitars? Can you also load in acoustic impulse responses and such?

I sold my fender mustang for the nux 3. What sealed the deal for me was that it's an ASIO interface. So on the road with a laptop i can run all my vsts and operate my DAW like normal. So even things like Neural DSP plugins or dry signal and change later

[@thomashill1194]

Great video. Couldn't find if anyone else asked the question, but would it be a good idea to plug it in to the output of your pedabold? That way you can your your own effects. Thanks!!!

I use the smaller model to practice my bass and I like it. Small and simple to use, with a good selection of sounds. Only thing I would add is a tuner. You can even play along to tracks loaded onto your phone, though I have not worked out how to make them play through headphones rather than the phone speaker 🙄

[@el_kammeroni]

You can connect your phone via bluetooth to your Nux. I have the cheaper one and use it for bass as you do. Easy enough! A very handy device. I also sometimes plug the Nux into my pedalboard at the end and just have a cab sim going. You can even load your own cab IR into it, there are a lot of tweakers that get the most out of the unit!

[@bobthebomb1596]

Don't know if my pro version is broken or if it is a feature, but some presets have audible high pitch. Some presets/IRs make it a bit quieter, but still it is very tiring to my ears, compared to fender mustang micro or computer plugins.

Thanks for the comparison between the 2 models. Seems like a decent number of improvements for only 30 quid difference, could mean the m2 model drops in price accordingly making that one even more affordable for those on the fence. i like how its getting simpler to just plug the guitar into your computer and start recording. still haven't seen any combo tutorials using this and a looper? doable?

[@VesiustheBoneCruncher]

I love my mighty plug pro - observations on using it - you don’t have to plug it into your guitar, I plug it into my drive/fuzz pedals, and use it as a really simple and versatile recording interface. I found the headphone output on mine to produce a worse quality output than using USB and recording through it. It’s incredible value for money nonetheless.

[@pwlebrun4573]

So do I understand you correctly, your signal chain is: guitar -> inst cable -> pedalboard -> Mighty Plug Pro -> USB cable -> DAW?

[@VesiustheBoneCruncher]

@@pwlebrun4573 yes, that is one way of doing it. In general I find I can get really great emulations of time based effects, delay, chorus, reverb in the DAW. But I find that there is much less quality variety with drive and distortion stuff. For example, a lot of software will have something like a big muff, but have you ever seen a soviet or opamp variant in software? My exact set up is to use the preamp in the mighty plug, and disable the power amp/cab onwards, then I can apply whatever I like in the DAW before my cabinet emulation, creating what in the guitar world would be an effects loop. You can loop the signal straight back out of the headphone socket on the mighty plug and listen through headphones, however, listen to a whole mix this way and you’ll quickly find out how bad the headphone amp actually is!

[@VesiustheBoneCruncher]

To clarify, you can’t come back into the signal chain on the mighty amp, you always go through the full chain, but can turn stuff off at will, at the end of the chain send it to the DAW, and then can loop back out from the DAW directly to the headphone socket.
