Jamming with the Fender Mustang Micro Plus

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I got the Katana Go before discontinued. Everyone should get a device like this. Frees you from the DAW desk and you can roam around the house or chill in the backyard and jam.

[@SonicReels]

Definitely. I got the Katana Go as well. I'm glad if something happens to it then there is some great competition out there.

[@michaelolz]

It was actually discontinued? I’m glad I got mine! 😮

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

@@michaelolz yeah it was. They said something about an insurmountable supply issue. Others have speculated that a part in the Katana Go was needed on the new Katana amp line. Or, once they saw how fast it was selling they got worried it would hurt sales of the new amp. But thats all rumors. I would expect they will release it again.

[@ak2112]

Lord, what a player.

[@Old-Skull.]

I had it since yesterday and I'm amazed, just my guitar, my phone, the headphones and this little piece of witchcraft, the quality/price ratio and what you can do with it is remarkable, after 15 minutes I had everything working, I loved the app simple and easy , after making a sound check on the speakers, (worked great ) I try it with headphones and happily get stuck in the second preset , (I think is the "stadium lead") and I say happily because this little thing really pulled a big smile on my face. It's ridiculously fun it totally exceeded my expectations, my main use for it is in the couch or at bed now that winter comes but I know that I will end up using it in my desk too. I give it a 9/10 bc I just have it since yesterday . I didn't buy the first Fender Micro bc it seemed to me some cheap gadget that it was already on the market, however this time I knew that the improvement in technology was a thing to consider, the one year leap in tech gave Fender the opportunity to make a better product and I think they did it, at least I'm happy enough to recommend this little gadget to anyone who needs a small practice amp or a plug amp with a complete set of tools to make music .

[@ramiroabuan4188]

I totally agree. I got one last week. Amazing device. I didn't have to use my Pod Go or Helix LT for practice. I give it 10/10. I hope that fender updates the Tone app where you can manually input the BPM or tempo

[@ΑΚΗΣΣΠΑΘΑΣ]

Hey man , could you tell me if the Bluetooth can be turned off when you are not using the app? Thanks .

[@Old-Skull.]

@@ΑΚΗΣΣΠΑΘΑΣ The BT is always on, or that is my impression , but if you don't want to use the app don't open it , same as the headphones if you want to run some demo from your lap top just disconnect in your Bluetooth section the Mustang Micro Plus as you would've done with a pair of wireless earbuds . As soon as I switch ON the little thing I'm connected to the BT of my lap top ( hedphones) but to be connected with the app you have to press "CONNECT" in the app to engage with the little Mustang . IDK why that can be a problem for u but for me is really a good thing bc I'm connected with my phone and my computer as soon as I switch the little devil ON. IDK if I answer your question , if you want to ask anything feel free to do it .

[@ΑΚΗΣΣΠΑΘΑΣ]

@@Old-Skull. Thanks man , I really appreciate you taking the time to answer . I was just wondering if i could keep BT off when i m not using the app , for power saving reasons etc . Thanks again .

[@pokeround]

Excellent demonstration of the device's capabilities - great playing but also a strong awareness of how to musically exploit the characteristics of the unit and its possibilities. Really looking forward to taking delivery of one now. Much respect! 💪

[@ramiroabuan4188]

I just bought one last week. It sounds great out of the box! The tones are the same as what you hear from this video.

[@CameraLaw]

Excellent overview. I got one and have used it several ways. Headphone. Into amp return (need a 1/8 to 1/4 cable and a 1/4 female to female 1/4 connector). And in front of a multi-effects pedal. All superb quality.

[@brianrollins7275]

Awesome playing as you put it through its paces. That Driven Deluxe with the greenbox and strat sounded great. Thanks for showing us what this new headphone amp can do.

[@JimmyGallowayGuitar]

you could use 2 cans and string- and still sound killer. Great video man.

[@imacmadman22]

I have the first edition of the Mustang Micro and it has been a great little practice tool. I also got a Katana Go shortly before they were discontinued and I like that as well. With is being released, now I'm thinking of getting one of these. Do I need it? No, but it would be fun to have. Great demo Leon, as are most of yours, it sounded quite awesome. Thanks!!

[@jackclark1356]

Very thorough demo Leon! Awesome sounds in that little magic box

[@EnglishPalette]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[@monkofwar]

Just ordered my mustang micro plus on Saturday, can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@michaeldean7220]

I think we really need a new katana go for a comparison. One concern is just how far on have fender moved with the range of options on the app? All the pedals and amps look pretty similar to what was available when they brought out the GTX50 combo. Have a lot of options been added or tweaked via updates? For me there's a feeling that this device only addresses the shortcomings with the original Mustang when you compared it to the rivals like the Katana Go and the NUX Pro Plug. Fender really got lucky that Boss had to discontinue the original Go.

[@MarcMcClure]

Lovely, fluid playing...nice device as well!

[@LeonTodd]

much appreciated!

[@darrenhunt7838]

Thanks for the tip on the global eq. I found that a few of the patches sounded muddy to my ears straight from the box. I will give that tip a go later 👍 awesome playing man! 🎸🎸🎸

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers!

[@rickard9294]

Nice Bryan Adams licks from the Reckless album!

[@stilwel]

Love this demo Leon!

[@User57186-y]

Howdy Leon, can you control the buttons/presets etc in the tone app on your desktop? Or just on the phone app? Great playing

[@Timjstewart]

Great playing! Thank you.

[@martincockburn6821]

kinda like a boss with spark software... some good tones in there 🤘

[@kalebaldwin5398]

Between the Wheels!

[@mikeward2922]

Just out of the box, I'm finding the sound quality to be a bit muddy all the way around, and I'm using a set of new Sennheiser HD headphones straight from the Fender Micro Plus. These headphones are clear as a bell and near 'audiophile' quality on some other devices. I am plugged into a Telecaster by the way. Is it that I have to experiment more or should I be resetting expectations? I'd like to understand the wiring to a set of pedals/effects or just to a speaker if someone is so inclined to comment, but it seems simple enough with the right connectors and adapters.

[@hotrod7695]

If you get a guitar jack to a stereo jack that goes in the back of the mustang and put a backing track on you hear both the backing track, guitar thru your amp via Bluetooth Bluetooth

[@kronie19]

Hi. So the splitter plugs into the guitar and you plug the mustang into one split and music source into the other split?

[@gregdewald]

I use this before shows to warm up. Can be beat and of course if your rig goes down it’s an option… not a great one but still an option. lol

[@DrBillOwen]

Great review as always - cheers mate! I might have missed it but - can you tweak each of the controls on the amp modules with the app? It's not a helix, but try using a helix sitting on an eskie...

[@LeonTodd]

Yes you can!

[@Gargvarr]

How appropriate - I just moved and all I have is a guitar. So this might do the job.

[@ΑΚΗΣΣΠΑΘΑΣ]

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

[@Steven-u5w]

Very handy piece of cake to have in your gig bag

[@psp777]

I'm finding that the new plus is choking out notes...almost as though there is a noise gate on ...and set too high....I own both the original micro and the boss Katana Go

[@SonicReels]

Nice sweeping stereo delay on that intro!

[@BS-gj5ot]

Great playing as usual

[@amitreznik2846]

09:00 do you play in the italian / french riviera beach? sounds like paradise 😉

:p

[@michaelallen434]

I use the Vox amplug when I don’t want to fire up the tube amp or I want to noodle on the couch. They’re great but I might check this out. It’s got more versatility and sounds good.

[@rider7012]

I had a Vox Amplug before I bought the original Mustang Micro. The improvement in sound quality going from the Amplug to the Micro was remarkable, never mind the additional flexibility. The new Mustang Micro Plus adds even more to that equation. I'm not sure that it's worth it to me to upgrade from the original Mustang Micro, but if I was still using the Amplug, it would be a no brainer to get the new Plus.

[@rebeccaabraham8652]

I have the Amplug3 boutique model - and I've used it to round out the piezo sound on my roundback Crafter - and also as a preamp on my strat at jam sessions and club nights.... These devices are amazingly versatile - and should be 'in-the-box' when you buy a new guitar. As far as the sound goes - I have no issues at all with the Amplug3; never really had any issues with the Amplug2 either.

[@NoLefTurnUnStoned.]

What happens if you plug it into an amp or powered speaker with a Jack adapter?

[@angusorvid8840]

I've gotta be honest, this is one of the most incredible things I've ever heard. I'm seriously thinking of getting one. What an age of wonders we live in! Is this in any way controllable with a footswitch?

[@dansmith543]

you never heard of the boss waza air headphones, they are quite a lot more expensive than this but they are phenomenal, in my opinion there is no better product for silent practice. the sound is absolute heaven to your ears.?

[@angusorvid8840]

@@dansmith543 I've heard good things about the Waza Air headphones.

[@ramiroabuan4188]

It can't be controlled by footswitch. No jack input for cable; it's a small device.

[@nasirtawfiq9267]

Very nice , what’s the preset used at 12:05 ?

[@metallover8]

I’m wondering, are the high gain sounds better than the original Mustang Micro for 7 string guitar?

[@peterharvin2775]

To my ears, the cleaner models in there sound better than the metal ones, but that doesn't mean they sound bad. On the contrary, I can see this serving even as an emergency replacement for a bricked modeler or a blown amp at a gig even though that's not its primary purpose. You coax some nice stuff out of it.

[@LeonTodd]

If you could load your own IR's it would be phenomenal

[@williamryan6794]

I used the old mustang micro live once in a pinch, and after the gig asked the sound guy to give me an A/B with the recording, and he said the mustang sounded fine. Not better than my Line6 modeler, but having it in my bag saved me. Literally plugged it into a tuner pedal, by passed the tuner, then went headphone jack to DI box. Worked just fine.

[@Colin-o9t]

I'm so old school, multiple axes, amps and pedals. Me thinks i need to get with the program and check out some nu tech. Another great vid bro.

[@LeonTodd]

Correct

[@mdu2112]

I read it's also recognized as an ASIO device when connected via USB.

[@iperfungus]

Fuck! I was looking for a small plug&play companion and the Mustang Micro is the one that I was thinking about. Thanks to your test, I'm going to buy it for sure!

[@chachabooom5]

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

[@Brennosguitarsandgear]

Any idea if you can change presets with a Bluetooth foot controller? If I remember correctly, you could with the katana go

[@ramiroabuan4188]

I think you can if you connect your BT footswitch to your phone while using the Tone App. Let me know if it works. I would buy a BT footswitch.

[@Stargazerz]

Does this have pitch shifting like the Boss Katana Go?

Ever since the KATANA GO was mysteriously discontinued, I have been looking for a replacement. This is good news.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

Yeah that was the weirdest thing. I bought one and then a week later, poof.

[@nunyabiz012]

Why look for a replacement? It’s not working?

[@michaeldean7220]

Rather abrupt and curious but not a mystery. Publicly Boss stated it was an issue with sourcing parts. I have my own ideas as to others. Did they under price it? Did they think it might effect sales of Katana 50 gen 3 amps? In hoping this new Mustang will put a rocket up Boss' backside to get a new Go out with some tweaks like a drum machine. Aside from sounds the battle between Mustang and any new Katana Go may come down to the different approaches to how the app interface looks. If you like old school stomp box picture like then Mustang might be your choice

[@nunyabiz012]

@@michaeldean7220 There were rumors of supplier issues for a component. There were also rumors that a new “go” will come out sometime in November. We’ll see...
