Exploring the Mustang™ Micro Plus | Fender

[@FiestaRed]

I've been using the original micro for almost 2 years now and it's been my absolute most favorite on the go amp. The plus is such a major upgrade and I hope to get one at some point. In the meantime I'll keep jamming on the original!

[@st3pp3nw0lf86]

You can adjust level of gain and distortion!? AMEN. The original micro sounded absolutely amazing.

[@JStillwell-wm3ln]

You can adjust EVERYTHING with the Tone app 4.0.

[@billtravis523]

Original Micro I have has a rotary volume/gain knob on the front which does those things. Looks like this new "Plus" version does too.

[@brian-c-pearl]

Add stuff for bass players

[@Kyle592]

No.

[@Facu_Roldan]

Yeah we're always left out.

[@everybodyhasmine]

I agree, I’m a guitar player, but I do have a bass and if they added bass preset it will be terrific!

[@GrayGhostDog1]

Boss' competitor had bass guitar support, but unless you were able to acquire one before it was quickly discontinued you're SOL...

[@handle433]

You guys should have provided support and updates for the first Mustang Micro. They're great and could have had way more options!

[@Heavenreck]

Just ordered mine in the UK as soon as I watched this video. Love my original Mustang Micro but this is definitely an upgrade. 🙌🏻🤟

[@MrKravmagadude]

Me too!

[@Kennyuk77]

I am a mainly headphone player so I think I will get one of these. the tablet interface looks good

[@MJPGuitar]

I had the original micro for a while and it was pretty good but ultimately ended up selling it off because I was always wishing it had the tone program from the LT25 and GTX100 amps I had. Pretty cool to see they implemented this finally.

[@officialWWM]

I see it comes with quite the price upgrade too!

I hate that they now force to landscape view too! So annoying! At least give us the option to view in portrait or landscape. Also agree that the search function is not intuitive anymore and I always find myself searching in the wrong place. The new cloud icon is super confusing and not a mental model synonymous with “search”

While you can adjust settings using the device's buttons, customizing presets requires the app.

[@CE-22]

Can i plug a 3,5mm to 6,3mm cable to use this? Like the 3,5mm jack goes in my mustang micro plus and on the other end 6,3mm jack in my guitar amp

[@TheBatGuitar]

Yes, i think u mean and invertor cable from 3.5 to 6.3 , yes, i had such cable in the past at my Fender Mustang I .

[@uf2221]

[@jimdep6542]

I won't trust Fender again after they took the FUSE software down along with all the presets and anything else having to do with the original Mustags. There was no reason to treat their loyal customers so badly.

[@AgavePiper]

[@ΑΚΗΣΣΠΑΘΑΣ]

Does Bluetooth stay always on ? Or can you turn it off while the device is still on ? Thanks .

[@VascoFinuras]

I've seen no one yet talking about the use of Bluetooth audio to stream the sound of the micro plus via Bluetooth to some bluetooth headphones, aka, ear buds. This would be highly appreciated, I'm sure

[@windyjer]

Bluetooth streaming works fine. I can play along with my instructional videos and anything on any of the streaming services with no problem.

[@VascoFinuras]

@@windyjer Thank you, but my question is not whether you can send the streaming of music into the Mustang. You can already do that on the first version of this device. What I'm really curious is about whether the streaming of the sound of the guitar being processed and sent into the earbuds via Bluetooth works or not. Has it got any latency? Using a regular wired headphone there is none. But with this new version, is there any latency when hearing the sound of the guitar on the earbuds, ie, hearing the guitar via Bluetooth?

[@McLacBlack]

​@@VascoFinurasThat's what I want to know. Will it work with a BT wireless headset? BT wireless headsets are what's so readily available.

Hi Fender I bought one of these fantastic pieces of wichcraft you put out there for sell , they are fantastic , I think you did a terrific job with this product at a very good price , for that Thanks guys bc I'm a partially disabled guy, living with ppl around so keeping things simple and quiet makes everyone's life easier. I have a question for you or for someone who read this comment , is there any way that I can stream a back track to my headphones while using the micro Fender ? I'm using a splitter but it's clear that I'm not doing it right bc the result is not good enough . If there is no option to do it, there is no problem , a feature like that adds value but it's not a down for me , what you are giving with this product exceeded my expectations by far and I just can say Thanks for that .

[@rskirk22]

I do not have this current model, but I do have the previous model. With the built-in Bluetooth audio streaming, you should be able to do that. I did that on the original model and it worked great. Just be aware the audio output in the guitar may not match what you stream. I found that out the hard way!

[@Old-Skull.]

@@rskirk22 thanks for answering, I already get it , it was super easy but for some reason I was very obtuse that day and instead of doing what you normally do that is to look in your Bluetooth device connections I was totally blocked in my desperation, you know I was having one of those days in which you wake up on the wrong foot. Thanks anyway , you are really kind .

[@rskirk22]

[@GuitarType01]

How does this one compare to the original micro?

[@Jonathan-L]

I'm curious if the Mustang Micro Plus can produce the exact same sound as the new Fender Bassman Tonemaster. First up, the Micro Plus is a tenth of the price, so that's got me interested. And if it can be connected to a PA or FRFR powered speaker (or even a Bose S1 Pro+) then it might be all I need. Only one amp I'm chasing, you ask? ... I'm a blues harmonica player and the new Bassman Tone Master is what I want, but if I can achieve the same sound with alternative gear (for less cost), then that's what I'm hoping for.

[@Atmusic148]

Very cool, will be buying one. Was wondering is there a midi foot controller support on the software to change the presets?

[@sean---the-other-one]

A great idea, but if they incorporate that before they do something specific for bass players I’ll be super annoyed.

[@annabelablue]

Does it have classic 60’s Spring Reverb?

[@jimdep6542]

If it does, the springs would have to be reeeeally short.

[@mhz9003]

Hey Fender how about a firmware upgrade to give those of us who just bought the original Mustang Micro, access to the app? Pretty please???

[@jimdep6542]

Fender no longer has any loyalty to their long time customers.

[@imdaroger]

Does it work with acoustic now

[@GrayGhostDog1]

Good question... I don't think so. They may want to look into a firmware update to add an acoustic amp model. Right now they have an acoustic "simulation" amp model.

[@sean---the-other-one]

Nope. No love for bass players either.

[@baseballorbasketball]

it always has?

[@imdaroger]

@@baseballorbasketball nah not for passive pickups. I was installing a transducer pickup on an acoustic and then I used the mustang micro to test it out and little did I know i ended up trying to figure out the problem with the pickup for 2 hours when it was just the mustang micro. I plugged it into my actual amp and it worked.

[@psp777]

You mention connect earbuds or headphones....this sounds like Bluetooth earbuds would work, but I feel latency would make them unusable?

[@RByrne]

The first generation had a lot of issues, especially with fitting into certain guitars, and no display. It seems like this one has sorted those problems, but it would have been nice it it were able to work with wireless Bluetooth headphones.

[@Kyle592]

But much of the software side could have been addressed via an app, but no, let’s sell more hardware.

[@Emailmesoicanignoreu]

Bluetooth introduces the need for an additional antenna which will eat the battery especially if you want to make sure latency is super low. Also, it’ll affect price and open up a can of worms in terms of complaints around latency, connectivity, etc. The guitar is around your neck, the cable is not a big deal.

[@st3pp3nw0lf86]

​@@Kyle592Cry more. Some digital amps sell expansion packs

[@finyo83]

Bluetooth headphones introduce latency, which would make playing guitar feel unnatural. You would feel a slight delay between playing the note and hearing the note. Like having a delay pedal 100% mix and 0% dry signal, you would only hear the repeat. That’s why only streaming of music to the device is done wirelessly.

[@gcc5036]

It can do wireless music streaming via Bluetooth, but Bluetooth is simply not suitable tech for real time auditory feedback on guitar playing. There’s always a latency/delay between you playing a note and you hearing it and it feels really unnatural. Wired headphones are the way to go for this

[@GrayGhostDog1]

@@zacharybishop … IMHO, both products have their strengths and weaknesses. If I wanted to just practice with electric guitars, the Mustang Micro Plus offers what you need and nothing you don’t… if wanting to utilize something similar with support for electric, acoustic-electric, and/or bass guitars then the Katana:Go might be the better option… too bad Roland/Boss dropped the ball on manufacturing!

1st travelling or just playing in the garden near home. This is the only way. 2nd - this is the future .Such an idea in a bigger form factor with touch screen would be nicer- It will sit on the desk ( like a padle) and an inside cable comes from the guitar to an IN port , also it will have a charging USB C port and an earphones or speakers OUT port . This Will do the same trick without the need for outside software. All the software will be on the device with a touch screen display and ability to upgrade the software or add fearures or bundles. It wil be in the size and thickness of a cellular phone so battery life could be even 24 houres or more.

[@sean---the-other-one]

The lack of consideration for bass players here is at Seymour Duncan levels.

[@hartholz7015]

The original Mustang seems very good. But for me, the standard Fender guitar is the Strat. The form of this instrument is perfect. There is no better guitar body balance. The form of this guitar, which is good for convenience when playing, is, naturally, perfect for the sound. The use of the feed-back is a resultance of the form of the body and the constitutive elements of the instruments, even the body's convenience notches. Jeff Beck said, "It is harder to play than the LP, and one can't make so many oddities. But it has such inner brutality that I like very much. When I want some violent chord, refined with vibrato, I take the Strat. " I played on many guitars, too. I like the SG from G. But it has hever like the Strat. One can play a lot of pieces with this guitar. But, when one wants to play Jeff's music, of Jimi, the best choice is simple. What I appreciate very much by Eric Clapton is that he remains faithfull to this instrument.
