Is The Mustang Micro Plus Worth It?

[@stratdx]

You answered every single question I had, thank you!

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@@stratdx glad to help. Thanks for watching.

Excellent objective review. I personally thing using headphones to practice can be a live safer depending on your living situation. What I would like to see is not only bluetooth from your phone but also the ability to use wireless air pods. This would eliminate a chord.

[@MrShadowofthewind]

But that would cause latency, it's just not fast enough yet.

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

The only way to get wireless headphones is not via Bluetooth, you'd have far too much latency. Systems that work would be IEM's and you're still dealing with cables to your in ears, best solution out there I think is still the boss Waza airs, those have the amp and effects built right into the headset and are phenomal sounding, way more configurations possible than with the Fender. Many third party editors now available and wireless foot controllers are compatible by using these apps. For a true system with everything it is the way to Go. Practice involves a lot more than just strumming, with that setup you can run through your actual footwork drills as well and have everything you would with a normal pedalboard without hunting for power points or being stuck in your studio space

[@DaneRates]

Is there a looper pedal option? It's a great device for practice seems a looper pedal for your rig is something any level musician would want.

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

Not that I am aware of.

[@frankfarklesberry]

I don't agree on a bunch of points. Having presets is huge. Being able to tap into Fender Tone tools is huge. It has many more use cases than the orginal as a virtual studio.

[@LevivanLeeuwen17]

I agree. Presets is quite an extra usable functionality and controlling it with an app is a huge Plus (what's in a name).

[@AmelioMedardo]

Grazie per questo video .. quale mi consigliate ? Fender mustang micro ? Oppure Fender mustang plus ?

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

Update.....after barely 2 months, the volume knob on my Boss Katana go came off and now it's nearly impossible to use the volume seamlessly from low to high level....I have to press the volume rotator knov real hard....and I feel so disappointed that it's like very flimsy......I really treated it as a fragile thing and it still have up, keeping fingers crossed on this fender micro plus

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@@SunnyBeeRandomTuber volume knob on the Fender Mustang Micro is really robust. You shouldn’t have any issues with it.

[@robertmorandi3947]

Thanks for playing social CHORDS! Most videos show guys shreddin g lead and never get to hear what the guitar effects have on chords not just lead. I'm 70 year young and if I turn up gain and distortion I can sound like Stevie Via too!!!! More like Zappa.....lol

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

Thanks I appreciate that. I'm no shredder. I like more classic rock, garage rock and blues, so I play slow. Plus, I want people to be able to hear the actual tones when I do a review.

[@mikeandstony]

The name mustang is a issue...its already the name of a guitar. shouldve called it the fleebengorkle jr.

[@LevivanLeeuwen17]

Not an issue at all here. Now it suits my guitars and my car!

[@JDStone20]

Awesome video!

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@@JDStone20 thanks!

[@tomtscotland]

Put mine in a drawer day after I got it.

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

I still use the original one I got occasionally.

[@chachabooom5]

Will these work with Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO (80 ohm) headphones? (Fir use with bass guitar)

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

As long as they have the mini plug 3.5mm. You can also get an adapter to make a 1/4" plug 3.5 mm.

[@chachabooom5]

@@JayceAllanGuitar thank you! 😀

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

No problem. Thanks for watching.

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

I have to disagree, this brings considersbly more functionality... In a studio space is one thing but on the move swapping guitars, testing pedals out, the ability to customize your presets to your gear is key. There are better systems out there but this vs the old micro i would say no competition. Once you're all dialed in you can forget the app but this is a great improvement.

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@@AlecBourneMidiMadScientistyou bring up good points but my comparison was as a practice tool. I bought the original so I could sit on the couch and practice, while streaming the songs I need to learn to the Mustang via Bluetooth. That’s my use case and the use case I’m addressing. If you’re using it to record or even to gig with (yes some people do) then yes, the new model is a vast improvement. But if you’re just practicing with it, and you already own the original, it probably isn’t worth the money. But you are definitely correct. The new one has far more options and functionality.

[@raketfuel6037]

​@@JayceAllanGuitarI agree with you especially with no possibility to include lets say overdrive and distortion pedals for 2 different slots. They were making same obstacle for fender mustang v2 amp series where there was 1 slot for overdrive or dist or fuzz or chorus + 1 slot for reverb like pedals. Then they got rid of app Fender Fuse as microsoft silverlight was not supported or something. And introduced new series of amps. So you buy that plus and after years it happens your android version gets too old or phone won't support that software.

[@chachabooom5]

Just got this and I can’t connect the app to my android fone at all…seems like it’s a common problem..??

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@@chachabooom5 that’s unfortunate. I have an iPhone so didn’t have any issues.

[@miggychan]

Edit: I returned mine since the app only got worse after the most recent update, which left the micro an expensive paperweight. The app breaks often with every other update it seems, weirdly enough I got it to work on an old android phone I had lying around. The app was still buggy but it works well when it does, not too many presets up there and the search function could have been better. I hope they fix it soon because this product has a lot of potential when it works, I'm actually gigging with it soon.

[@chachabooom5]

@@miggychan i got it to work with my ipad, so that's something, but it doesn't bode well that it breaks with every other uodate...

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@miggychan, gigging with it? I'd like to know more. How are you getting the audio out? Mini to 1/4" or wireless?

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

​@@JayceAllanGuitarif you go wireless from guitar to the FMMP you can run cabled to any powered speaker. Works quite well

[@arthurdavid8443]

What guitar cable i need to use my AMP

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

The Mustang Micro goes into the guitar and you listen with headphones or ear buds.

[@upsidedownnoise]

You can use an amp, I have seen several videos where amps have been used; if you use an interface you can use the line out.

[@davidd4117]

If your amp has an AUX input, you can use an AUX cable. If not you can still use an AUX cable with a 1/8" adapter into your amp input jack.

[@joerojas5448]

I have the original Mustang Micro. I will say that scrolling through the different amps without having to waste time manually changing the setting and with more effect features, it's tempting to invest in the next gen Micro. However on the flip side, the original does almost the same features except for the added features. I'm on the fence with that. I also have a Mustang GT40 which the updated Tone app.

[@tigrevert]

I have Micro ; no desire for Micro Plus

[@Clive007]

You could have gone straight into your computer via USB, the Mustang Plus is bidirectional.

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

Good to know. I know you can use it as an audio interface. Not sure if that alters the sound. I wanted to capture the output directly from the headphone jack.

[@SNAPAVELI]

What about into iPhone?

[@gbkiller007]

Its way too noisy to be used as an interface. Not grounded. The line out on it is very clean though so its best to line out to a mixer then into your recording interface. Unuseable capturing the signal from the USB and straight into DAW.

[@SNAPAVELI]

@@gbkiller007thank you! I was just wondering if you could record into garage band on iPhone so I could loop to play over

[@JayceAllanGuitar]

@SNAPAVELI you’ll need an adapter. Like the camera adapter

[@antoonhermans8953]

All these new toy's are totally loaded with all kinda BS , who needs all that shit i am a guitarplayer not an progammer : ) Just keep it simple and get one good tone and be done , thats my 2 cents on the matter .

[@videditorEB1]

The stock tones are awesome. Tweaking is absolutely not required. Plug it in, put your headphones on, and love life. It’ll seriously change your life. Cheapest musical fun you can buy! 😃😃

[@upsidedownnoise]

With this you have a huge number of classic amps and pedals available that have a great standard setting.
